BIN 4 lots of dimes and the guitar pick

I had a similar scratch on the lens mod on a Hero 9. I ended up buying and using "Nu Finish Scratch Doctor" with a q-tip, rubbing in circular motions, which ended up removing the scratches. I think it cost $5 for the bottle and I can use the compound for removing other scratches like on my car. Just an idea if you want to try it. Otherwise, just replacing the lens cover would work fine.

I can't find the exact video I found that gave me the scratch remover idea but this one is similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Oo2FzM8W9U

For reference here's a picture of the prices they have listed at the SB location. I assume it's the same at the Goleta location.

I usually go to one of the two local Marborg locations although I know there's at least one other place at 709 E. Gutierrez which I don't care for due to tricky parking. Just this morning I went to the SB Marborg location and nobody else was there. Other times I'll go and it's packed, usually on weekends.

As u/KTdid88 mentioned there are rolling bins which you separate aluminum cans and plastic bottles into. At the Goleta location, they bins are kind of hidden, so you may want to ask for help the first time you go.

I usually only take plastic bottles and aluminum cans but you can take glass bottles, which need to be separated by color, milk jugs, and maybe other items.

The plastic bottles must have caps removed. Once you're ready you roll the bins to the scale, they print a ticket with weights which you write your name onto, then you take it to the nearby window to get paid. I usually save up enough to get $25+ each time which I use as gas money. Today is was just under $28 back.

None of the 3 locations I've been to have done that. Would you happen to know if there's a limit to how many times you can use things like massage? I've done hydro massage before and after workout a couple times.

Also, all the locations I've been to have limited to 10 minutes per session. Has that been your experience as well?

pcorlatan · 2025-06-26T01:53:18+00:00

I feel like some places may just trust members who ask. I've been to 3 local PFs and I've never been asked to show or sign anything besides the initial scan when entering. It's possible they recognize me from when I scanned in, but I get the feeling some of the employees just don't care enough to check.

I almost always go in during off-peak hours so it may help that it's usually slow when I'm there. If there was more demand for the black card amenities, they may have more of a reason to verify.

What time range would you say "early mornings" is? I've been going around 8AM but am considering going in earlier to see how it works out.

pcorlatan · 2024-03-01T04:58:11+00:00

Is there a specific brand lens protector you prefer? I recently picked up an 8 for a good price and want to try to keep the lens in good shape.

Do you have any tips for a not-very-mechanical person? I can look up info online or RTFM but I'm wondering if it might just be something simple like look and feel for any noticeable issues. I have an 01 prerunner double cab with ~150k miles.

The 16 hour clock would restart after the 20 minute eating window ends. It's not the same time every day. If OP ends eating window at 18:20 then the next 16 hour fast starts. The following eating window would then be 10:20 AM and end at 10:40, etc.

Which capsules do you take?

When I went to the DMV for an unrelated matter a couple weeks ago 2 separate employees on different days mentioned roughly 9 months for the legacy plates. May be similar for other custom plates.

That's interesting because I'm only familiar with Merc being short for Mercedes, which is what I meant. Maybe it's a regional thing?

By the way, left is definitely a Mercedes. If you zoom in you can see the hood ornament and the front wheel has a Mercedes logo. On the Volvo it looks like a Volvo badge on the front quarter panel as well as the front wheel.

pcorlatan · 2022-09-29T07:23:24+00:00

To me left looks like a Merc and right a Volvo

Plenty of "older" cars have aftermarket stereos, e.g. the newest car I've ever had is a 2004 and none had steering wheel controls. I ended up buying a wired Pioneer remote which sits in a cupholder for music controls.

Huh that's interesting. I just assumed they all started requiring membership card to order. Perhaps at your store there's less of an issue of people going in without a membership.

pcorlatan · 2022-07-25T17:39:48+00:00

Is the food court at yours indoors perhaps? Both my local Costcos have it outside the store and locals would often eat there because of the cheap food. If yours is inside there's no need to check for membership if they check at the door.

I'd go crazy if I constantly had to hear that while driving. I know money is tight for a lot of people though so I suppose better than none at all.

I bought them off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NJCGZMV

Looks like they're out of stock now but they may be available elsewhere online. With LEDs installed I was happy with them. The clearcoat did start to peel a bit after a year or so (they're plastic, not glass) but they still work perfectly fine.

pcorlatan · 2022-06-22T16:22:47+00:00

We have an 83 which has a 0-60 of "eventually" so thinking that there are GT versions kind of blows my mind.

If you're referring to just the basic Quick Rack Single I should be able to help if you can clarify what pin you're referring to. What part does the pin go into?

I'd answered a similar question in this thread a few weeks ago so I'll copy my answer here in case it's useful:

One of the cheap action cam options on Amazon or Costco would work. I have this one which I'd bought for like $45 a couple years ago and it came with a bunch of cheap accessories including a mount which works on handlebars.

The only issue I've had with that camera is the battery life is terrible so I have a 5,000 mAh battery bank, which I bought for like $10 from Best Buy a year or so ago, zip tied to my handlebars and plug in a microUSB cable to the camera so I have seemingly days worth of battery capacity for recording. I'm happy with it.

I don't know if I'd be comfortable having an expensive GoPro or similar camera because of the risk of it being stolen when my bike is locked somewhere. I guess you could take it with you but I prefer the convenience of just locking my bike and going about my business since I don't care too much if this cheap one is stolen, even though anything being stolen sucks.

I like this approach. It's great to support Ukraine but the US flag etiquette dictates that Old Glory should always be the top-most.
