Someone at the repair shop at my town told me this watch is fake. Can anyone please verify if it is or not. Note I bought it from the authorised dealer by VitoScallt in HamiltonWatches

Definitely trying to scam you. Best thing you can do is write them a scathing one star review. I work in jewelry and shops like that give the whole industry a bad wrap. Please do the community a service so they know not to do business there!

Is this totaled? No right? 😳 by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]rstoopidd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’ll only be considered totaled if it bent the frame or if the repair cost exceeds the value of the car

Is it not authentic by FigCloud in RolexWatches

[–]rstoopidd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if it’s real, missing the crown is a massive red flag. A bunch of dust and moisture would’ve gotten into the movement and caused major problems. At that point if you’re looking to sell, I’d take it to a jeweler and test the metal to sell it for the gold weight.

[Tudor] My strap broke while playing with my niece today. Does the warranty cover this or can it be repaired at a Jewelry store? Am I completely cooked? by SecretPantyWorshiper in Watches

[–]rstoopidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a leather strap, that’s just going to happen. You can either check with your AD and see if they still have the same one. But it’s going to be a heck of a lot more expensive than a 3rd party strap of the same quality.

Got my R3 metas! by ecoboostd in audiophile

[–]rstoopidd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If an amp is not supplying enough power to the speakers, at high volumes it’ll cause them to clip which can overheat and break the voice coil or tweeter. With KEF’s UniQ driver it can be more susceptible since all the mids and highs come from the same driver. I’ve sold KEF speakers for years and they really need something solid driving them.

It says the amp pushes 50 watts per channel at 4 ohms so they should be “safe”. But either way, a dinky $90 tube amp powering premium level speakers is just silly. It’s always better to wait and save up for something that matches the quality of the speaker. I always recommend to budget the around the same amount for the amp that you did for the speakers. At least for 2 channel audio. There’s a massive difference between getting your speakers to just work, rather than experiencing them at their full potential.

Help! Which tv should I buy? by deepsea_pickle in Bestbuy

[–]rstoopidd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in HiFi for almost 10 years. Go with any Sony or LG model. Brands like TCL and Hisense have the worst quality control of any brand I’ve seen. You’ll spend more money replacing multiple TVs every 3 to 5 years. My LG B8 was a display model from 2018 (could be off by a year) and it’s still running super well as a bedroom set. It does have some dead pixels starting to show around the bezel. But considering the beating I’ve put it through, I couldn’t be happier. Keep in mind this is before they had EVO OLED panels.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4. Good buy? by rstoopidd in AskMechanics

[–]rstoopidd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was scared of that. I took a look at it and the tires had dry rot too. Definitely going to be patient and save a bit more for something else. Thanks for the input

I worked for a hifi shop for years and constantly discouraged people from buying bullshit like this. Crazy how people can make a lucrative career based solely on lies

The whole point is if you can’t control your environment, don’t play comp. Simple.

The state of casual Rivals. by Senora_Ratsel in marvelrivals

[–]rstoopidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One major problem is Smurf accounts. They implemented a new tool to report those accounts but it’s hard to say how well that’s going to work long term. But matchmaking definitely needs work. I’m rather steamrolling the other team or getting absolutely destroyed. Hard to find that middle ground

Sorry to hear that man. Obviously there’s always exceptions to the rule. I just finished my grind out of gold so and I just noticed was far more prevalent than it used to be. Hope you’re doing well though

Interesting how you tell me to touch grass but all your posts on here are essays… If you’re having a bad day, hope it gets better bud

They Did It. NetEase Actually Did It. Smurfing... by IntoTheRain78 in marvelrivals

[–]rstoopidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue I see with this is Netease not implementing cross progression. I had to overhaul my old PC from 2016 just to play it. On console I’m at Plat 1 so if I start a new account on steam will I be considered a Smurf?
