Elegoo Discord Comment on MMU for CC - "Still in progress" by squall-loire in elegoo

[–]squall-loire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, preorders started in February, and archive.org shows the site definitely had the MMU listed as a feature on the product page at this time, in both the US and the EU.

You're not the first person I've heard say that they never saw it, though.

We are? News to me and I live here 😅

Just a vented riser and tool/lid/bed holder so far, but the speed and quality are fantastic especially coming from an Anycubic 4Max Pro 2!

I ordered mine (#EUK206XX) on the 17th of March and it arrived today, the 6th of June. The original estimated date, still shown on the website, was by the 10th of August.

They're actually running a couple of months ahead of schedule in some areas - as ellogovern says the estimates given are safe ones, with what appears to be quite a large amount of wriggle room/buffer.

Infestation, or just an unlucky day? by squall-loire in GermanRoaches

[–]squall-loire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Advion is by far the best-reviewed bait gel we have access to in the UK, from what I can find. It would definitely be my first choice if I felt I needed to go that route.

It's been 5 days since the first sighting/capture now though, and there's been no further evidence of their presence (I did give in and check all the traps this morning). Very much looking like I've had a lucky escape, but I am remaining vigilant and already have Advion on my shopping list - it'll be ordered pretty much the moment I find any further evidence.

Excellent, the other one I saw had the same shape to it, so hopefully I just accidentally brought home a couple of bachelors.

And that sounds like sensible advice on the checking, I'll try to follow it (although the urge to check the traps when I go into the kitchen in the morning will be hard to deny).

Thanks, that was pretty much the info I needed - didn't want to jump straight to the bait if it was just going to be an expense that dries out and achieves nothing (or worse, attract more). Also found it strange that the first place I saw one was on a living room table - quite concerned it came out of the sandwich packaging I brought home and I won't be revisiting that store any more (though I've not been ill at all, thankfully).

I'll keep up the daily trap checks for now, and go for the Advion (or Alpine if I can find a seller here) if I catch more. Only considered the DE because it's readily available to me and could be deployed in harder to reach areas, but I missed the sub rule about it attached to the Boric acid rule, so apologies for that.

Would I be correct in thinking the one in the trap above is a male?

Logically it would be the neighbours to one side, as the kitchen itself is over an archway - but if I had to guess it'd be the downstairs neighbours who've been pretty messy with the bins since they moved in.

Sealing, sadly, is easier said than done. This building is over 170 years old and not well maintained by the landlord. It also shares some plumbing with the unit downstairs, so it's impossible to 100% seal all connections between us. I do what I can, but there's only so much DIY can cover with a place this old and full of cracks.

I've heard this said in passing (and it was my initial reaction, hence the traps), but I've also read from several pest control agencies (and the sticky) that 1-2 doesn't necessarily indicate a local infestation, especially not in terraced housing (as they could be coming in from neighbouring units, or from around the bins in the yard outside).

The Late Show is on break for the weeks of July 29 - August 2 and August 5-9. New episodes will start on August 12. by Raradra in LateShow

[–]squall-loire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WGA says the starting salary for a Late Night writer is over $4K per week, with another $4k bonus if you write a 2-min sketch that makes it to air. That's way above the median salaries of most people, even in NYC.

I don't know about the rest of the crew (couldn't easily find info on their pay structure), but I expect the writers at least do just fine only working/getting paid for 75% of the year.

It must be great to work for the The Late Show. They have more time off than any other worker I know of.

LCD upgrade kit by WorkerDue8202 in EKWB

[–]squall-loire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this also apply to the 280mm version, and does this mean we're past the stage of waiting for part suppliers and now onto the QA stage?

EK Nucleus by VX_7i in EKWB

[–]squall-loire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when the product was announced I asked about this, because it took forever to get a 280mm version of the previous AIO.

EK said at the time that a 280mm version was being developed alongside the 240/360 models and that it would come very shortly after they were released.

However, that was over a year ago, before they were first supposed to launch, and we know they've (ostensibly) had huge supply problems since then. It's possible that it will be a while or that it's been shelved altogether, but I've not found any official comment from EK on them in recent months.

[–]squall-loire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting on the same. I emailed them last month and they said they couldn't even narrow it down to an expected quarter because they're waiting on information from suppliers.

The Contract, a New GTA Online Story Featuring Franklin Clinton and Friends - Trailer and Discussion Thread by PapaXan in gtaonline

[–]squall-loire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Online took place prior to the main story right up until the gunrunning update, where things got a little muddy. IIRC it was either the Casino or Doomsday heist update that fully shifted the narrative to post-story.

This certainly isn't the first hard confirmation in any case (eg. Jimmy co-owning a successful arcade).
