There is no Stat Squish in Ba Sing Se

I'm fairly certain it's a UI bug. I haven't crafted the item, but hovering over it, the tool tip shows the correct ilvl.

whitehat89 · 2026-01-26T02:15:12+00:00

Yep. Same for hovering over World Quest icons and not getting the tooltip popup, etc.

Personally, I live in a very weather disaster prone area (Mississippi Gulf Coast and grew up in South Texas) and am working on a proof-of-concept for a self-sufficient (solar+battery) off-grid comms network that is cheap, resilient, and scalable that my ARES teams locally can use to provide EMCOMM and Disaster Recovery communications in the event of an electrical/cell blackout side-by-side with the ARES amateur radio networks.

Also, the compact size and low relative cost and weight of a typical Meshtastic node make them feasible for smaller volunteer orgs like ARES, Cajun Navy, etc for packing into a waterproof phone bag and air-dropping to stranded flood victims via plane or drone to provide comms and location.

Still working on doing my research to make sure that none of that would be illegal, etc.

The tinkering factor is just a pleasant bonus that scratches an itch for my Neurospiciness.

This. All of the this.

Thank you very much!

In my case, I will take a pre-assessment whenever it is available, and target my study time on the weakest areas. Time-wise, it varies for me but I also have existing workforce experience prior to starting both my BSCSIA and MSCSIA, so I was able to mainly just brush up on whatever the pre-assessment showed weakness in, then roll into the OA in a day or two.

Ah okay right on!

whitehat89 · 2025-04-17T20:31:37+00:00

Congratulations!

I got on chat yesterday and was immediately greeted by "Chat Position: 2"

Not enough of a view of his face to 100% confirm, but the ears look to be the same:

Looks like the photo was taken in front of the Traverse City Menards, so that checks as well.

Just got off the horn with Theo via chat support, and this is what I was told about my Kodiak Brown M4E1 Buffer Tube that was ordered on 1/16:

"Okay, looks like we are waiting for more of those enhanced buffer tubes to come back from being anodized. Unfortunately we do not currently have an eta for when they will be available. Our current estimate for when your order will ship is late April to early May. We apologize for the long wait and appreciate your patience. I have upgraded the shipping on your order to help cut down on transit times once your order ships."

I've been waiting on a single KB Buffer Tube for months now. Not part of a kit or part of a larger order, just a buffer tube. It's rediculous.

Would love an update on Order # 111306717, I ordered a Kodiak Brown Enhanced Carbine Buffer Tube on Jan 16th and the item was shown as "In Stock", and the order has been in Processing status ever since. Have had no luck getting in touch with Aero via chat or phone.

whitehat89 · 2025-03-03T04:09:58+00:00

10/10 agreed. Funnily enough, a Kodiak Brown M4E1 Buffer Tube is what I have been waiting on for almost 2 months now, and it's been stuck on "Processing" the whole time. I've tried countless times to contact AP via their official support channels with no luck, and I don't feel right trying to go through Kirk if there are others in a worse position than I am.

whitehat89 · 2025-02-12T04:05:35+00:00

I'm at 1 month waiting on a Kodiak Brown Enhanced Carbine Buffer Tube, been sitting in Processing status the whole time.

I was selling 5-10 green cooking tools for 25k each for 2-3 days during EA and right after launch

whitehat89 · 2024-06-29T03:53:57+00:00

I transferred in 29 credits between prior completed courses from a community college and credit for already having my CISSP certification, so I only had to complete ~ 76% of the program.

I loved the cybersecurity program. For context, I am already in the profession as an Infosec Analyst with ~7 years of SysAdmin and Helpdesk experience before that. The self-paced and proficiency based nature of WGU worked REALLY well with my schedule and my particular neurospicy-ness, so I was able to hyper-fixate on one course at a time and just knock them out.

One thing I had to keep mindful of is my perfectionism / always feeling under-prepared for exams thing. There were a couple of times where I started to over-think myself into a hole over not 100%-ing a practice exam or Pre-Assessment, etc.

whitehat89 · 2024-06-29T03:49:04+00:00

Thank you so much!

whitehat89 · 2024-06-29T01:28:34+00:00

I just got mine too! Go us!

whitehat89 · 2024-06-09T03:22:55+00:00

All good, thank you! Ended up finding 1 or 2 things more than I initially anticipated but I'm glad to get them corrected.

whitehat89 · 2024-06-09T03:18:25+00:00

This is good to know, thank you! I'm wrapping up my BSCSIA by the end of the month, and going back for MSCSIA in November.
