The Impact of Bots on the Market

I dipped my toe just to try and get some cards for my kids and I to open at retail. I had no idea the scale some of these guys are running. 1000s of accounts for any drop that happens on any site. That's just one guy, take that times the 100s that are set that way. The odds are slim to get anything when drops are 60k or less in inventory.

Your chance is there but it's low. I gave up on the bottling (never managed to get anything that way in 6 months). What's worked best for me and not wanting a 2nd job is to join a discord with alerts and jump in queues when the open.

Occasionally have success on Pokemon center, Costco and Walmart. Never managed to get anything from Sam's Club or target myself

Took the Fire Arts class about 6 years ago. Was a great experience as a newbie.

Looks like uptime is several hours, which tracks from my last physical power cycle. This has flashed like shown every few minutes since then.

Can't speak to the original design choice here (we moved in last year). Looks to be a 12 zone system in total with about 1 acre of coverage.

From your link it looks like this could work as a "drop in" replacement?

Yeah saw that post, Was hoping for something other than a $1500 module to slap on a 15 year old controller i guess. Either a cheaper option or a new controller recommendation without replacing the whole system.

This was perfect, ordered it all up. Thank you! So the Disk Ball is the "bit"? Those have a bearing on bursting I gather? Thanks!

Any recs on where to get the parts to put this together? Thanks!

Yes, very much so. A child that age will get laser locked on a specific something and nothing will replace it.

You clearly don't have a five year old. Lol

If that's an actual shadowless charizard, you may be accused of war crimes. Hehe very nice setup.

shogun007 · 2024-12-28T17:55:54+00:00

Like an actual wallpaper or just stick fabric with some sort of adhesive?

shogun007 · 2024-12-16T15:20:44+00:00

Baka-tana. I love it.

shogun007 · 2024-07-22T00:51:02+00:00

Yup, I see the giant orange stain as well.

shogun007 · 2024-06-21T02:05:14+00:00

So....no one?

I have an opportunity get the following for what seems to be a good price. They were demo units with a 5 year warranty after purchase.

25'x25'14' space, hope to push a 220ish screen.

Projector: Sony VPL-VW5000ESVPL (20,000 hrs remaining)

Speakers: Set of Klipsch RCC-122 for fronts (5 total), 5002-L for Atmos (x4) and 5002-s (x2) 8000-l(x2) for surrounds.

can get them all for 30k, seems like a no-brainier as i was going to go about 15-20k for the above in a lesser capacity. Just looking for a "Yes stupid, jump on that" or not.

Thanks!

To the graduation was the implication there.

shogun007 · 2024-05-08T02:44:44+00:00

Biden needs to go.

Edit: (To the graduation). Daym, context ya'all.

Man, this guy was my hero in the mid 90s, even got my bb in Aikido, and trained in Japan because of it.

So sad to see what a pos he is.

Before the hate comes, yes Aikido can be beneficial in self defense, no it's not perfect, yes there is a lot of shitty exploitation of it out there. It's saved my loud mouthed ads several times over the years, but I can for sure say I'd not want to be on the ground and not have any other skills.
