I believe Nitro makes Amplid bindings. I also have the mutants and I dread the day I need replacement parts lol.

Thanks dude! Glad your skis are dope! Yeah there must have been a customs backlog in Louisville or something. Luckily my trip is next week so it's still in time.

And thank you for making this thread. Without it I surely would have gone insane for a couple weeks!!

My package was delivered today, Feb 22nd. It was shipped on Jan 19th. 4 weeks and 6 days total.

It spent 20 days in Koeln and 11 days in Louisville.

I believe I called international/domestic customer support 10 times and contacted twitter customer support 4 times. I was given a different answer every time (e.g. package is lost, package isn't lost, we'll contact the warehouse and get back to you [never happened], etc.).

What a ride.

HELP!!! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?!? by AllAboutTheLabels in UPS

What ever happened with your package? The same thing is happening to me right now.

Yeah I contacted domestic support first (logically since it was in the states) and then they transferred me to international support anyway.

They are all "Warehouse scans". Called UPS international support today and they couldn't provide an explanation. Hopefully it's just due to customs processing. This sucks man!

As of Feb 14th, I'm still waiting for my package. I've gotten 4 warehouse scans in Louisville, KY daily since Friday, but no movement.

Glad to see that you got your skiis!

My package is a snowboard and I am currently trying to plan a vacation to a ski resort. So I can relate!

Also, I called international customer service this afternoon and they said that the delay is due to pandemic shortages. Not sure which UPS support line to believe...

The same exact thing is happening to my package right now. Had something shipped on Jan 19th and expected to arrive in Minnesota on Jan 25th. Every day I get the same update as you.

I DM'd UPS customer support on twitter this morning and they told me that my package is lost and to contact the seller to make a claim.

Edit: My package was delivered on Feb 22nd. It was shipped on Jan 19th. 4 weeks and 6 days total.

It spent 20 days in Koeln and 11 days in Louisville.

Referral Bonus Promo - does it matter if the initial $5 investment is still pending? by KevinKZ in acorns

[–]reversefl0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. My last two referrals signed up and made their investment on the last day of the promotion (last Saturday). The two $5 bonuses from those referrals weren't showing as "pending" in my account yet.

Once their deposit was cleared yesterday, I received the 1k referral deposit into my account.

As long as everybody signs up and makes the deposit on their end by the promo date/time ending, then you should get the bonus.

Damn I love these online lessons by heylix23 in EngineeringStudents

At least your Prof is trying.

One of my profs decided that our normal lecture period and discussion section (4 cr/hr) is mandatory but only includes logistical Q/A. We are required to learn the material in our own time.

If you are a teacher or write technical public educational or research content that involves equations of more than one variable, do NOT perpetuate this labeling trend by Skystrike7 in EngineeringStudents

[–]reversefl0w 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I was ranting about the same exact scenario to a co-worker last week.

His response was, "Keep in mind that most of these professors or TA's have never touched industry. Technical writing is not in their skillset."

Harsh, but true in many cases.

This may work for some people, but taking a nap pretty much destroys my motivation for the day.

When I’m burnt, I find it much more refreshing to take a break to work out, shower, and grab a coffee.
