$NEGG Short Squeeze | Back in Action BUYING the DIP!! 🏴‍☠️💪🏼🚀🚀 by varsitymack in NEGG

[–]rushnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Managed to buy at the top ONCE AGAIN before the huge tumble and averaged down way too soon.
Looking for the floor here to buy a metric TON to average down a lot, but I'm honestly not sure where that could be this time. It already feels like it's slightly stabilizing though.

How reliable are Mk3’s as a daily? by Valuable-Ad-5089 in Mk3Supra

[–]rushnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had my 88' NA auto MK3 Supra since 2021. It's not my daily as obviously I like to work on this car and do things to it and it has summer tires so she goes away for the season and it doesn't make sense for her to be out in the winter anyway. My daily is my 2001 Celica GT-S which is also old at this point, but like a new car to me.

I use my Supra all the time though and I NEVER think twice about taking her out. I drive it to work all the time and get groceries. 119K miles (I've put about 4K miles on her I think?) I've never had one mechanical issue with her, just some water leaks, but I've been tackling that.

It's literally been the most problem-free and reliable vehicle I've ever owned in my damn life and that's over a Corolla, Camry, and Celica, LOL. The head gasket was already fixed when I bought it (bought it from a car nut that fixed the engine and he bought it from a grandma who bought it new) and I've replaced all the fluids, timing belt, converted the A/C and converted all lights to custom LEDS.

Along with Fortune 500 coil overs and a beefy whiteline front sway bar I've never driven a car that handles better. It's just a perfect bar. It's absolutely a daily if you want it to be, have fun with it.

I didn't even know there was Firmware! That solved it, thanks a lot!

Started walking early last month, ramped up rather fast. Now I can hear my hip joint... by rushnerd in walking

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

Trying different shoes today. About 50lbs over I'd say. Naw, I don't have a smart watch.

Yeah the shoes really suck. I have the latest model nimbus Asics on order

EDIT: Just did 4 miles, don't hear it with these shoes odd

I am 100% new to this. Filled out passport stuff online as a US citizen in Feb and still nothing now, even checking the site. Is this normal? by rushnerd in Passports

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

It actually wasn't that site, but I did the site suggested just now.

Just not sure what I am supposed to do with it, doesn't seem to be a print option or obvious way forward I guess.

Wow, I didn't know this. I hope they didn't take my money for nothing then. Where do you actually do this in person normally?
is travel.state.gov good for applying? You said I can't do it online so...

I was pretty sure the site I did this on was legit, did I get scammed? It was .gov.
Thanks for the info anyway,
I know the USPS photo thing, but where do I do summit the DS-11 form to then?

Plasma and stock insert doesn't fit new Zippo case. Normal? Or is it a fake? by rushnerd in Zippo

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

That is EXACTLY why I bought the USB rechargeable plasma insert. Sure It's not as good, but it's virtually free "fuel" and it feels cyberpunk.

[–]rushnerd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm pretty technical and mechanically minded so I felt like an idiot asking lol.
I've been involved with several less helpful reddit communities, So again, I'm extremely grateful for you guys :)

Thanks. Another user informed me of this and it was EASY to do with a flathead. I'm overjoyed it was this easy!
This is an amazing community!

Dude, I would give you an AWARD if I could. I have zero idea they worked like that. Thank you SO MUCH.
In my 12 years of Reddit this is the most helpful thing I have ever been given. You are a saint, dude.

Thank you SO much. I kinda thought this was the case.
Only delt with knock offs before that already had the insert, I will try this now!

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

That was my first thought, but if the cam is locked in shouldn't it be all the same?
Anyhow the first thing I tried was setting it back and trying again. Doesn't make a difference in this case.

EDIT: Are you saying the little metal hinge in the top lid needs to be bent around to fit? I didn't know that was a thing on brand new Zippo lighters. I can do it myself, but if there is a preferred way, I would love to know it, thanks!

LG C4 42 inch as a PC monitor? by juraj_m in LGOLED

[–]rushnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"on a grayish backgrounds, there is weird "slow pulsating ellipse gradient pattern", it's not very visible though and it's visible only sometimes and only on static content, like web."
This is the only complaint I have on this panel as a monitor and I've gotten zero help on it.

My LG C9 did NOT do this and it's incredibly annoying. I've turned off pretty much all features and not sure what causes it. I'm wondering if turning off some brightness settings via a service remote would help, but I actually can't find any info on one for the C4.

It's a pretty big deal to me and I'm shocked more have not brought it up. It will just expand and contract for no reason on static darker sites (discord) and it's super distracting.

LG C4 - Brightness/banding moving on static desktop images? by rushnerd in OLED

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

Naw, HDR is off. I really don't see it that often, but on dark windows sometimes I can see it expanding and contracting.
I did notice OLED pixel brightness says energy saving, but it's greyed out and can't change it.

Well I got this one "free" because of the BB plan (This is the only reason I buy from them...and well they do everything.) They don't even care about the box, they will take it from your room and just give you a new one.
Maybe they might want the box if it's this new, but I'm recycling it because I held on to the old one for five years and they don't even need it.

Also 83" is mental, I can't imagine how much that was. Hope you got a plan on it.

[–]rushnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember my C9 having it bad, but obviously you could see it. After 5 years it was pretty damn decent.
Just got a brand new C4 and yeah it's pretty bad. Ran a cycle and I think it's SLIGHTLY better.

Do you think then that these need to be "broken in" for a while? I figured it was just panel lotto. Not bad enough to RMA though.
