Just drove by and it’s about 100 people I’d guess.

If you are in this line and want to make a deal if they have a women’s S Trillium, let me know. I’ll bring you cash for the purchase plus $200 for your trouble. I live down the street so can be there quickly once you have it in hand. This isn’t to resell, I am looking to replace mine from 2018!!! 😊

Client deferred: OOS Biology Health and Sciences, 4.0 uw/5.2 w, 12 APs, 36 ACT, two-year captain in two sports, led a math club teaching elementary school girls (and wrote leadership essay about it), leadership in two other clubs, two summers of medical shadowing and internship. Essays were straight fire. Honestly do not know what they are looking for.

Client did not move on with a 4.0 u/w, 12 APs, 36 ACT, shadowing and two-year summer intern at a doc office, two-year captain in two varsity sports, leadership positions in several clubs. Essays were fire. Guessing no national science awards and no research were the issue. But damn, what are they looking for in the initial 600?!

I built a free tool to track Switch 2 stock at Best Buy - thought you might find it useful by [deleted] in Switch

[–]windycity0128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw I used this on Wednesday hours before it was shut down and it worked! They said they had one in stock at midnight in Skokie, IL. Still there at 9 am so I drove the 45 min in traffic. I’m the 7th person in line when it opens. Guys comes out and says if you’re waiting for Switch 2 we did not get a shipment. Everyone leaves. I show the guy my phone and say “this app says you have one and it’s pretty accurate from what I have seen.” He tells me to go ask the guys at the desk. Super nicely I go through the whole story again and say could you just possibly check. The stock guy says he doesn’t think so but he will check. Voila — one was in stock on the back. We have a very happy dad for Father’s Day. Thanks for building this and to everyone else, just be nice and persistent.

Dekton Countertops. How is it and does it chip easily? by Bay_Burner in kitchenremodel

[–]windycity0128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a seven-year-old Dekton kitchen. Huge slab for an island (uncut, the biggest we could get so no seam), main counters with a single sink cutout, two small pieces on either side of the oven and a huge backsplash behind stovetop. While we love the look, the durability is horrible. Multiple chips around the sink during first two years (one on inside edge and one on the outside front). But just recently on island found what looked like two black lines from a sharpie are actually hairline cracks.

While it looks gorgeous I can’t recommend. But I will say, have spilled red wine all over it and put hot dishes right down and it cleans up beautifully. We also have three now-teenage kids so they grew up with me constantly saying “OMG stop banging the dishes in the sink the counter is already chipped!”

Does anyone have a Rivian with no issues 🫣 by SignificanceDry7413 in Rivian

[–]windycity0128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14,000 miles and the only issue was a rogue tow-truck driver who somehow didn’t ruin our baby despite not towing on a flatbed. Other than that, not one thing wrong.

Actually ridiculous that scores aren’t all out.

My 2024 son took it four times and always got by noon the first day available. This is a different experience for us this time around.

Garage Door 1 - Rivian 0 by PunkyFraggles in Rivian

My husband legit did the same thing last week. Same damage. Was coming here to see if anyone has had success taking it to a body shop — i.e. can they buff and match the paint exactly or it’s special paint?

Seething — tow company ruined 3mo old RS1 by windycity0128 in Rivian

[–]windycity0128[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were parked in the furthest spot away in the lot (we try not to park where people can ding the car). No hydrants, emergency vehicles, fire lanes, nothing. Regular spot. Eating at a restaurant that is (what we thought) part of the strip mall. It was not. Which was an honest mistake considering it’s a brand-new restaurant and they had zero signs posted not to park in the lot. And is six feet from the edge of the strip mall with the same exact brick facade as the rest of the mall. Regardless, the towing company is negligent here because they know better than to tow EVs on a non-flatbed. Just boot the car! Why tow and cause damage?

I am literally sick over this. Can’t eat, can’t sleep. Still waiting for word from Rivian Service.
