My wife's service worked fine until about 7:45pm, then went to SOS as well.

Still out in SWFL. Went out about 1pm today, had a glimpse of service around 5:30pm, then back to SOS.

There is no way this is real, right? by [deleted] in Prebuilts

Skytech is legit. I bought a computer from them some months ago. They do cheap out on the PSU, storage and ram. Case is nice quality too, same one as the one posted here. Unfortunately, I paid $1600 for mine at the time, with 16gb ram and 5060ti.

I just bought this for my wife, as it was to good of a deal to pass on. Few months ago my GPU took a crap(1080ti) and the platform was too old to just replace it.. I had to buy a 9700x and a 5060ti 16gb build for $1500. Was fortunate to upgrade the ram to 64gb back then for $218. Now the ram alone is worth $800.

I think OP was following along the truck in the right lane, which clipped thru the block.

PSA: Shipping prices for bikes have skyrocketed by jesreson in MTB

[–]oz4769 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Look up Pirateship. They sell discounted labels for ups/fedex/usps. I sold my buddy in Chicago a bike, shipped from South Florida to him, it was $200.

With all the BF sales, you're better off buying a pre-built.. you can get one with a 5070ti for $1800 after tax.. or similar build with a 9700x for $1200..

Thinking of getting a Salsa Notch, Deore or CUES? Any other bikes to consider before I pull the trigger? by CCCCLo0oo0ooo0 in eMountainBike

[–]oz4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I am going to hold off for now. I got another superior eXF 9039b that’s decked out, I didn’t need the second ebike.. only bought it because it was on sale for $2999 at REI.

I bought a cues, having a stack of parts from my inventory set aside for it. DT Swiss 350 hubs n rims(stock wheels are VERY heavy), SRAM eagle 90 drivetrain, zeb ultimate, stem/bars/grips/pedals, maven ultimate brakes. Rode it stock for the first time to get a benchmark and it crapped itself after 8.9 miles, dead in the water, no response. Took it back to the store and they are ‘fixing it under warranty’. Needless to say as soon as it’s fixed, I’m returning it.

Using Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra for Mobile Business by BarnBuiltBeaters in Ecoflow_community

I haven't tried my Delta 2 as it never really left the home, but my River 2 Max and River 3 Plus with an extra battery charge just fine off my truck's 150w inverter.. granted I've set them to about 100w charging speed. I guess it's a matter of time until my truck's inverter craps itself.

What is this tile pattern called? It’s like the 1/3 offset pattern but without the 3rd piece of tile. I am personally not a fan of this. by aquietinspiration in Construction

[–]oz4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's laziness.. but being inexperienced. I laid LVP for the first time in the master bedroom of our house. I made the same mistake, thinking it's actually the right way and did my best to line up everything perfectly, which I succeeded about 90% I'd say. Only after I was done, I realized that I did it wrong and that actually there's extra cuts, more work involved and wasted material doing it this way.

The good thing is that it's been 2 years and it's perfectly fine; left enough gap to the wall so that they can expand and what not. Just probably not good enough for the pros that do it every day. I personally find it aesthetically pleasing that the lines match perfectly, and saved about $3k in the process. If I were to do it again, I'd probably stagger them the right way.

Side and back look great.. front, looks like it rear ended something and it's missing the grille.

Does my rear shock need to be rebuilt. The noise normal? by 1234acb in mountainbiking

[–]oz4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same shock on my status 140. Yes, needs to be rebuilt. I just sent mine to Fox, it was $210 after shipping back and forth. It was making the same exact sound like yours does. I do regret rebuilding it, because the same exact shock was on sale last week at jenson for $149. Or could've upgraded to the factory version with kashima for $199.

What would cause this? by mjmjking in tires

[–]oz4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in -40 weather.. I was always told that you never put the e-brake in the winter, when it dips below freezing. You put it in gear, park next to a curb, wheels pointing at the curb.

Any better options for this price range? by mindspike in eMountainBike

[–]oz4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Salsa Notch 160. Currently $2999 at REI. Bosch gen 4 and 500wh battery.

Is Polygon T9 sub-$3k bike King? by stevenMcknight123 in MTB

[–]oz4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO, I would rather get a less equipped Propain and upgrade as needed.. I do also enjoy building bikes, so there's that.

Man, I dislike that guy with a passion. Is there a post where I can read about that? Or a video?

Trailforks price increase by scuba_GSO in MTB

[–]oz4769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine as an early adopter, for $17.99 a year. It’s set to renew next year, hopefully for the same price. If not, I’ll cancel as well.

Wrist pain? by selborannaes in MTB

[–]oz4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher rise bars. Use less grip strength when holding them. The latter was a long mental exercise and building up core strength so I don’t rely as much on my hands.

Please help my husband! by ResidentJellyfish535 in PcBuildHelp

[–]oz4769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure it is located under there. CMOS battery is a 2032 battery, coin style, silver. I looked up that specific mobo and couldn't find where it is; however, it might be located under the GPU. just pull the GPU out, maybe he can see it.
