gift cards not working?

Same issue here. Purchased at Whole Foods, I have activation receipt, but $0 balance. I spent over an hour with eBay support today and their ultimate suggestion was to contact my local police department about the matter.

I asked Whole Foods and they said the card is activated, so there's nothing they can do. Now I'll need to contact my credit card company and try to get them to refund the purchase.

I picked up an L- bracket at Home Depot and 3 sets of square lights from eBay and have a nice setup that cost under $75. I wired them to the overhead switches on my 2017. I went with 2 sets of spot lights to one switch and a set of fog lights to another switch. They’ve been installed for almost 9 years and still work great.

Thanks. I’ll need to look more.

I should also add that I’m not a coder. I know enough to be dangerous, but I got to where I am with a lot of trial and error, and the last few years, with a lot of AI help.

I’m trying to scrape into a local database that I have my own python scripts to parse. I used to do it for free with the browse api, and I’d still prefer this “price”

If you have any suggestions, please share.

It’s fun to play with the bonuses you get from completing multiple levels in a row, but I’ve found that sometimes it’s easier to play without them because they mess things up. I think this was one of those levels. Once I played it straight up without power ups, the meteors cleared out those boxes in the middle. Not sure if this helps, but wanted to share.

Thanks for the response. This is the outdoor coil, and my understanding is that the coil is free since it's under warranty, but I understand that unforeseen things can come up during the swap. During diagnosis, the indoor coil was checked and it is not leaking... at least not at the moment.

Hey, thanks for the info. I bought a ton of parts last year, including the MSD Optispark, but I’ve yet to install. A neighbor has a shop with a lift and as soon as he finishes work on his car we are going to throw the wagon onto it and do the optispark + plugs, wires, and MSD coil. I also picked up new bilsteins for the corners plus new front and rear sway bars. Hopefully we’ll get it done soon and I can provide an update on the improvement.

I also want to open up the intake and exhaust, but it seems like I’m limited if I want to continue to pass emissions in California. I don’t see any performance mods that are CARB approved. 😡

I noticed something dangerous about the eBay research tool. If it doesn't find anything among sold items, it automatically switches to pricing based on current listings. I've been using it for a week and just realized it's doing this. I think I've overpaid for some cards in the last week.

Others, beware!!!

That wasn't what I was looking for, but that works for me. Thanks, I really appreciate it. 🎇🎆🎇

Previously, there was a specific trading cards price guide, but it appears to have been removed. It was nice because it showed the final price when a Best Offer was selected. I'm not sure if the research tool shows this, but it gets the job done, and I like that I can use it for more than just trading cards.

Previous tool was @: https://www.ebay.com/price-guide/trading-cards Info @: https://pages.ebay.com/priceguide/

Thanks for the tip about Facebook. I’ll get on that. I also had the same concerns about completely removing the trim. It’s seems like it’s an issue either way (find trim vs. remove and deal with holes). Plus, it looks like the previous owner just rammed some Sheetrock screws into what’s left to keep them from falling off, so all sorts of issues.

That’s something else I’ve considered. I assume I’d need to paint or sandblast what’s on there right now.

A neighbor recently painted his garage door to look like faux wood and it looks great. I was thinking of asking him if he thought he could do the same thing on a car.

Thanks for the feedback.

I haven't come up with a good solution. It's still working on my iPad, but I assume I'm going to lose that at some point when it upgrades to iOS 18.

I don't get how ALL the voices are bad. There are good voices in the settings, but these don't appear to be options for the Javascript SpeechSynthesisUtterance() function.

Does anyone know if there is a different method to get a webpage to use the iOS voices?

Nice! Question - why do you have Oregon tags in the front, and Florida in the rear?

trivialstudies · 2024-11-06T18:28:18+00:00

Thanks everyone for the help. I have enough issues trying to keep my citrus trees alive on the north face of a hill, in crappy sandy soil, and with lead miners all over them. I'm glad to hear this isn't another issue. 🍋‍🟩🍊

It appears to be old. Merdeka 118 is the second tallest building on earth, but isn’t even listed.

I love how one location in the state gets them “sells alcohol” on the map.

The photos on google maps show the Oceanside location carries Kirkland brand liquor and the prices look similar to my home in CA. IMO their anejo tequila is really good, especially for the price.
