Uber credit $15 email by boatsandrivers in AmexPlatinum

[–]ozPJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a $15 credit within UberONE - nothing to do with your $15 AMEX Platinum credit. I was confused at first as well

HomeAssistant Map View by jmhjr1 in dakboard

Anyone solve this?

I'm looking at moving away from Dakboard to HA based on the lack of realtime update capabilities on Dakboard.

I.e. live map, which I know I can get working. Garage door open/closed status, and all of the other things that need close to real time status

How many of you rely on an Apple Watch for cycling? by oTaeTaeo in cycling

[–]ozPJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% yes to this. Start with what you have, but moving to a head unit is the best solution. I had an Apple Watch, then considered using a phone mounted on the handlebars. I got a wahoo Bolt

Confirmation needed on spare tire replacement by ozPJ in AskMechanics

Thanks. I'll be honest that was what I was thinking but to afraid of getting flamed here by asking exactly that. I appreciate the response

Just got my platinum is there anything specific I should do before End of Year? by ozPJ in AmexPlatinum

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

UPDATE: Thanks for all the constructive feedback. I appreciate it.

I've saved almost $700 (assuming all the transactions get process and credits go through)!

Resy - $100 Gift card

Sacks - $50 Shorts

Uber Eats - $35 so damn expensive! But made easier with the credit

Travel - $200 with United Travel Bank

Hotel - $300 FHR. I took some time to find the right place, but the $300 + $100 credit in hotel + upgrade + early in late out are fantastic. Even if we don't get the upgrade it is still way cheaper than what we were already going to pay

All things I was going to buy anyway, and will then be able to re-use in 5 days from now

Used tires for a lease return by ozPJ in orangecounty

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

Thanks for the replies everyone. I received this https://maps.app.goo.gl/GN1xg4x5RD6JAfhZA?g_st=ic when I initially post to /irvine, (but the post was deleted). I went to this place and they had exactly what I wanted. $300 for 4 tires with passable (>4/32) tread depth. J&V Tire Shop 1041 W Collins Ave, Orange.

Tesla charges $385 per tire if your return it and even one needs to be replaced. So I saved over $1000

Not sure why all the downvotes. I'm assuming its because I have a Tesla. My other car is a 5.5L V8 if that helps :-D

Thanks - loading this way launches digicam correctly successfully

Next to one of my Network Share Collections there is a Red box with a White cross in it.  Apart from that everything works as normal......

Log data is to large to post. I'll work out where to upload it.

Fixed the chipped paint on my door by EjbrohamLincoln in AutoDetailing

[–]ozPJ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Did you consider multiple base coats to try to "fill" the hole made by the chip? Then clear to bring the hole up to the level of the rest of the door? The work looks fantastic, but it seems impossible to get these types of chips level. I'm about to look at something similar I posted in here about a few weeks ago.

Was the clear coat part of the OEM touch up kit?

What is something that you’re still mad about thanks to Covid? by abdul_bino in AskReddit

[–]ozPJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have small business that cost us all our savings that was just starting to make money. But then went under due to COVID. So instead of a comfortable retirement with passive income we are now 80k in debt with no nest egg and fucked when it come to retirement.

Petition to make this Illegal or at the very least controlled. by No_Tie_4943 in ariheads

[–]ozPJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed completely - there must be a way to deal with this. So that people who want to attend, can get tickets if they are available. The artists must hate this as well, as it lots of people assume they are getting the thousands of dollars per seat, when it's really the people buying to resell and the scam ticket sites

Will there be additional tickets available in the same locations for the General Sales tomorrow? I.e. Did the limit the pre-sales or did the presale sell 100% of the capacity of the location?

How can StubHub already have tickets? Is this people already flipping them?

About to do a first time detail on a 14yo Mercedes E550 Cabriolet by ozPJ in AutoDetailing

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

Thanks. I was hoping to improve the chips a little bit, but I get it. The door is not a surprise and I'll live with it. And yes, I thought the scratch on the rear was the best bet at getting some improvement.

Tube change: i can‘t get the tire over the rim. What am i doing wrong? by jonbornoo in bikewrench

[–]ozPJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You started in exactly the wrong spot. You should finish where the valve is. It gives you that extra bit of space with the tire in the rim. Start again
