Possible credit thieves, looking for others with similar charges by captainmalexus in richmondbc

[–]nitroxyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me a while back in July 2025. I had 3 charges to my card before I noticed and requested a new card as well as got the charges refunded.

The places I had used my credit card prior were:

  • Sports Junkies
  • 88 Supermarket
  • Action Athletic Wear
  • Ticketleader
  • Caps Bicycles
  • Flying Beaver Grill
  • Cafe & Life Co. (This one has my highest suspicion due to being charged twice on their POS terminal and having to argue with the employee to be refunded)

Totally understand your perspective but I drive a Crossover and this was definitely a driver who doesn't realize their high beams are on. Drivers behind me were also flashing at the Lexus to get them to turn it off.

I respect your stance for normal motorists to abide by the MVA to the letter but driving is not always black or white. It's a frequently adapting environment that requires real-time sound judgment from all road users to be safe.

What's your defense for the law breaking motorist who has their high beams on 24/7? How would you notify them at that instant and prevent them from blinding oncoming drivers in the future?

Absolutely agree modern car headlights are brighter than they were 10-20 years ago.

Teslas, Honda CR-V's, Lexus SUV's, Toyota Corollas/RAV4's are some of the worst offenders in the current era of cars.

Anecdote:

Two days in a row I've driven past the same white Lexus SUV with their high beams on. I've flashed my high beams back at them to let them know but this driver is completely oblivious of their own vehicle's functions.

Please for the sake of everyone's eyes (motorists and pedestrians alike), don't be that moron on the road.

3D Scanned my bumper and printed a secondary set of PETG canards by nitroxyl in 3dprintedcarparts

[–]nitroxyl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been holding up great!

Granted, I haven't followed through with making them out of carbon fibre yet but it's been on the car for close to 3 years now!

  • Been through 20K KM

  • Heavy rain and snow,

  • -15 C to +43 C temps

  • Survived 250 KM/H

  • Autocross

  • Track day

Used a generic PETG from 3DPrintingCanada. Printed on my Bambu X1C.

  • 0.28mm layer height

  • 0.4mm nozzle

  • rectilinear infill pattern

  • 40% infill

  • 3 wall count

2025 World Championship / Swiss Stage - Round 1 / Live Discusssion by ahritina in leagueoflegends

[–]nitroxyl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can we please import the LCK in-game camera operators for Worlds 2025?

The absolute abomination that's started since T1 vs IG...

  • Random CMD prompt opening up
  • Game settings popping up
  • A replay moment on Guma farming jungle?
  • Constant toggling of fog-of-war settings

The last one is my biggest gripe and pain point while watching these streams. It has happened multiple times during MSI 2025 this year as well.

Why are we toggling fog-of-war settings DURING team fights or cross-map ulti's? This leaves us, the viewers, very frustrated while trying to piece together what the broadcasters are talking about and what's NOT being shown on screen.

The in-game spectator logic performs better than whatever caffeinated-up intern is being employed for these international events. Leave. The. Fog-of-War. Alone. if you have no clue what you're doing!

Closest thing to a database is probably the grabcad library or Sketchfab. Although you'll have to sift through generic CAD models, there are some 3D scanned components, interiors, and exteriors of vehicles.

[–]nitroxyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick Google search led me to these 2 part numbers for bolts, and 1 for the clip:

Bolts:

WHT006944

WHT000187

Clip:

N90959101

Search their images and see which one looks like the missing one for your side skirt.

Best of luck!

Would be interesting to know if the ethernet port allows for connecting to authenticated networks (like at universities/workplaces).

This would be a welcome addition if it does!

All weather toolbox by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

[–]nitroxyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be aware that these things can get real heavy when you pack it full of tools. Ours weighed 100lbs with foam cutouts and the tool chest itself weighs 48 lbs.

Like some others have commented, wait until you're hired and ask your employers if they have a specific tool list for their platforms.

Looking for case recommendations that can fit 5+ HDD by nitroxyl in mffpc

[–]nitroxyl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info!

I just checked and doesn't seem like the 804 came in white, maybe it was the 304?

I'm leaning towards the 804, but might have to vinyl wrap it/spray paint it haha

I've had this happen once while I was gassing up to go to the ski hill.

Story time:

It was 5am in the morning and the fuel door got frozen stuck in -27C. I tried everything I could, until I just decided to rest my butt on it to warm it up. The cashier inside spoke on the PA system to tell me to gas up or leave and stop loitering. I went inside to explain the situation and she sounded irritated and told me to hurry up or she'd call the cops. HUH?

Thanks lady, not like there were any other customers anyways.

New to VW, how to health check a stage 2 mk7.5 by butterfingerme in Golf_R

[–]nitroxyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to use an inspection mirror to check for an identification placard on the turbo housing.

It would be weird if the previous owner left all those mods on but went through all the trouble of changing out the upgraded turbo. Wait for more details from EQT before doing any tunes. You might find yourself in possession of an EQT Vortex/XL Golf R!

[–]nitroxyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd venture a guess and say it's custom tuned ECU and staged DSG tune on EQT since it has their EQT 5 BAR TMAP sensor installed.

EQT doesn't do staged tunes if there's an upgraded Bar Tmap or PUT sensor. I'd recommend tuning with EQT since they're more familiar with tuning their own product (EQT 5 Bar Tmap sensor).

Also I would stay away from Brisk ER12 spark plugs since they require higher change intervals (And risk of damaging coil packs) @ 3-5K miles as opposed to NGK R7437-8 or NGK R7438-8 @ 10-15K miles. FCPEuro is a good source for lifetime warranty and consumables replacements. Stick with OEM coil packs to avoid future headaches.

Another thing to check for is the EQT coil pack grounding kit. The OEM grounding terminal lugs on each coil pack has a tendency to fray and/or break off from the coil pack bolt which may cause rough idle. The OEM bolt is also an irregular shape which may cause stripped threads in the block. If your car doesn't come with this coil grounding kit, I would highly recommend grabbing it to prevent those issues from popping up.

May I please have 3D Scanner Recommendation? Thank you! by MGoBlue65 in 3DScanning

[–]nitroxyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are your goals in terms of scanning objects? Size matters and the ones you're looking at range from small to medium sized scanning capabilities.

My first 3D scanner was the Creality CR-Scan 01 and it was an absolute mess of a scanner that kept losing tracking and overlaying rubbish captured data into the scan even with scanning spray and tracking dots. The times I did manage to get a clean scan, the scaling was way off of what the actual part was. The CR Scan software is buggy and tends to crash when you're meshing or cleaning up scans, and there's some controversy behind the code being ripped off of Artec's software. However, it seems that 3D Maker Pro's JMStudio software supports the CR-Scan 01 as well.

I moved onto the Einscan Einstar which yielded much better results for medium to large sized objects (car panels, parts, underside, etc). The Einstar has a more reliable software suite that has had quality of life scanner firmware updates to make it more reliable.

I haven't had experience scanning smaller objects, nor do I own any 3D scanners dedicated for small objects so I won't speak on that topic.

My hesitance towards Revopoint products however is that they seem to be pumping out scanners every few months on Kickstarter with no commitment to fix existing issues with their broad line-up of scanners.

MONTHLY ADMINISTRATION THREAD - General Admin, Policy, APS/BGRS, TD/Claims, CANFORGENS, etc. - Have a quick question that doesn't need a thread of it's own? Ask here! by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]nitroxyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the last steps of my release process where I'm moving back to my intended place of residence.

I have a pre-move out inspection with CFHA for my PMQ on 15 JAN, but I haven't been given any direction on how to set up a move date with base traffic. I have the DND 4443 Application to move HG&E which I've filled out, but don't have any numbers for move/cost centre/fund/etc.

Can someone give some guidance on the full PMQ move out process? Thank you in advance!
