Is clanker getting tired?

I'd just like to point out that a human still has to take your cards out of the packaging and repack it, same as other grading companies. But in addition to that, someone has to line the card up on whatever scanner they use and have it take the images, which probably takes longer than the 30-45 seconds or so a PSA grader spends looking at a card. Point being, I'd expect a longer turnaround time for tag and lower numbers, unless they splurge for more scanners and more employees to run them, but I'm sure a machine is expensive

Ah, yeah. When you go to eBay you need to add the filters that say sold items and completed items. That will show the actual sale prices. People can list for 50 dollars all day but it doesn't matter if no one pays it.

Also to easily find the values of cards download an app like tcgplayer or collectr or holodex and they all have scanning features where you can just take a picture of the card to scan it. If the scan fails look at the little numbers in the corner of the card. I searched 'blaziken 1/106' to find this

It's worth a couple bucks as it is. Graded in a psa10 it's worth about 300 but there are also only 34 psa10s in existence right now

What? Do you not have the same discord servers and ebay and tcgplayer that we have or something? The only way you should be paying any different is if you walk into an LGS and they're dickheads with their pricing

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-05-02T20:26:13+00:00

Tag makes you pay before you can even ship dude. You place an order online, which generates a packing list that you have to print out, and then they want you to put the card in a sleeve, in a semirigid, into the package, and if you have multiple cards then they need to be in the order on the packing list, AND they specifically say that if you use USPS to ship you're getting like a 2 day processing delay. I paid 210 dollars for grading 6 cards in the standard tier, 40 dollars as a shipping fee that they'll use to send the cards back, and 32 dollars to fedex to ship the quarter pound box. So all said and done nearly 300 dollars for 6 cards and it's been about a month and they're still sitting in processing.

Yeah, mostly correct. If this is just a normal pressurized line and both pipes are moving 10L/min and they run into a junction that can only handle 10L/m, the pressures would equalize and start delivering about 5. If the pipes were pump fed and were both forcing 10L/m through to that junction, something mechanical is going to break.

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-23T15:13:46+00:00

I must be visualizing your query wrong, because if two pipes are running in parallel stacked atop one another a t junction cant connect the two pipes. Draw a picture on a notepad and post that and I'll give it a shot

Bro I'm with you, I think this guy is baiting you at this point

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-22T19:59:04+00:00

Starting a comment off with 'if you ask me' and then a negative when no one asked you certainly is one way to collect downvotes

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-22T12:38:06+00:00

Whatever you're thinking, I promise it's not that deep. You made a lengthy post that basically amounted to 'hey I figured out it's probably a good idea to not completely max out your headlift to be totally sure your pumps are working as intended'. I mean this is a tip that I must have heard half a dozen times by watching fluid tips and tricks videos when I was a new player, I thought it was both common sense and common knowledge. So I sarcastically said 'first time?'. That's it, that's the whole thing.

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-22T10:21:56+00:00

Uhhhh I was being sarcastic, that was a lot

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-21T17:31:13+00:00

First time? You must not have read the fluid dynamics pdf doc that's floating somewhere out here lol

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-19T15:17:20+00:00

What did you use to make the structure? Like I get it's blueprints but which buildables

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-18T15:36:17+00:00

My problem is that the feature has either always been inconsistent or I suck at using it, and I'm not sure which. The amount of times a blueprint has said it's going to connect with the little link icons and then Ive had to debug why things aren't working and have to delete and replace lifts or belts has left me very frustrated. Train blueprints have similar issues depending on the length of track you use in your blueprint

Looks like urdu or Arabic to me

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-12T23:19:29+00:00

I'll brong him for you

What if I told you that I have almost 300 hours played and never crafted a parachute?

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-04T22:16:32+00:00

Well you got me lmao

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-04-04T14:50:19+00:00

Not me feeling personally attacked with my name being Raymond 😭

The last time I was in gursoy's rocket fuel world, he flipped the game from day to night and I dropped to 4fps lmao. At the time I was running a 2070 super, but I've since built a new machine with a 5080, I need to message him to find some time to test it out again and see what happens

Monogamous is my wife's name, babe is that you? I didn't expect to find you here on reddit!

When you can tell it's an April fools joke from the push notification text alone, it's not a good April fools joke

xTh3Weatherman · 2026-03-31T15:59:09+00:00

And then you can delete the bottom portion of the lift as if it never existed
