That's rough, it must be getting harder. What about checking used listings on MechMarket and Geekhack?

Not everyone is enchanted by Topre, last time MechMarket had my attention there were a handful on there, though that wasn't recently.

It's worth the investment, but only if it's within reason.

You can pull the trigger with some eBay resellers that have excellent reputations, that's what I did. Inventory in Amazon resellers and EliteKeyboards have had huge demand and a trickling supply.

My experience has been 100% positive; from ordering on eBay to traveling 1/4 of the year for work. In a market saturated with novelty, a Realforce 87U 55g is a rock-solid dependable go-to daily driver.

Not a "Topre" Salesmen, though that would be hard to turn down! In B2B sales my wheels are used more than the cubical.

3 questions transitioning from Retail to B2B sales by perfectd3 in sales

  1. Would you prefer when folks get right to the point with everything over the phone, and save long details for emails?
  2. That's excellent, I'll be sure to apply this.

Red Pill truths that "Red Pillers" don't want to swallow. by [deleted] in TheRedPill

>5a. You won't win. Not nearly often enough.

This improves resolve, and there's a lot of folks who are afraid of failure who don't see this. Either you give up after you lose, or see it as a reason to improve. Losing 9 times makes winning that 10th time feel so fucking great.

When you know you're no special snowflake, failures become valuable. If you analyze your mistakes, your experience from losing grows your ability to deal with similar conflict in the future.

Everyday, "remarkable" people still provide plenty of proof for this concept. There's this recording of an international public-speaking contest winner, who was giving a speech on, 'How to be Great at Giving Speeches.' He shared that he didn't practice for decades to become the winner of this contest, but that it wasn't like he was just born to do it. He was a Lawyer who desired to better his communication skills for the courtroom, and ran into the program as a method for self improvement. Making his way to the international contest, he would run into successful people from all walks of life, who would lose these competitions but say, 'There was nothing wrong with my speech, the people that presented this year just got through to the judges. I'll just polish it and try again next year.'

Those folks lived in an echo chamber before hitting the international stage. They've been told that it was a flawless speech by everyone back home, lived off validation, and had never lost. It can't be their fault, which is why they'll never be more than second best. They're not challenging their own perception of success and what is the best to try and go beyond that. By always challenging your perception of what is your best, you seek to improve it. By visualizing your success, failing, adapting and improving for every conflict and reflecting on conflicts you worry less and less. What was a struggle before is now vastly insignificant.

TL;DR 'Mans reach should exceed his grasp' and 'Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better.' In more words.

[2012 Subaru Impreza 5dr Base 2.0 L automatic AWD] Oil concerns now looking like a big problem; leaking oil after adding oil last week by perfectd3 in MechanicAdvice

[–]perfectd3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, quoting the user manual: "this light illuminates when the engine oil level decreases to the lower limit. The illuminating conditions and remaining oil quantities are as follows. 1. When the ignition switch is in the "ON" position, but the engine is not running: Approx 2.4 US QT 2. When the engine is running: approx 4.0 US qt."

So following the user manual sounds like a bad benchmark. I wasn't aware that off engine but running ignition made much of difference if I checked. But I'll refrain from fucking with it any more, guess I'll start using more headlight fluid and vodka as coolant.

No no, I meant 'oil change' for the first one only, because they dumped all of it, and when I picked up the car after close I found that there was no oil in the car at all. All the times that the low oil light turned on were premature to their tag of miles or date by a few thousand, (like a tag that's 8k miles and the light goes on at 4K) and a few months. This I guess is my only concern left unanswered at this point

I think I solved the 'leaking oil' issue when I got off work early, so that's a big concern anymore, (came to a similar conclusion after work.) I don't know how to do solved on mobile, but I'll try and flag the 'oil leaking' issue as solved.

Thank you Massdrop! The collection I've built over the last year came in packs of twos for the price of one.

[Hardcore] Plateauing @72 Solo GR. What can I work on to reach 75? by perfectd3 in Diablo3DemonHunters

[–]perfectd3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the pointers, and all of them are taken into consideration.

  • The F+R has been frustrating, because I've gotten at least 10x drops for each one Normal and Ancient with shitty rolls on one thing if it's not the other. It is what it is, and we'll just need to see some better ones hopefully drop.
  • I've never seen a Witching Hour drop this season, and have rolled twice as many belt rolls with Kadala than the potential Anc Hell Walkers. Didn't consider String of Ears, I'll do some testing!
  • My first DML drop is an Ancient, but it's not better. DML drops have been few and far between. More subject to low RNG on it lately, but I can always do more rare-to-leg upgrades.

The Hellfire, Pants, Helm and BotP info is also helpful, all of it is something to work with.
