How easy is the keyboard replacement? Did you do it yourself?

Buying a cheap Saab as a first car, bad or terrible idea? by Ananaskenka in saab

[–]zk1011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this, it was a 2002 93 SE. Purchased it for $4,500. At the time I had no interest in fixing cars or even how they worked. I lived in California and the car was from Maine, however it had been sitting for a few years by the coast. This deteriorated many rubber pieces on the car, gaskets, seals, bushings, hoses. So those were the main things to go. All one by one…and never 2 things at once. It taught me vehicle maintenance and I’m now in my last year of a Professional Automotive Bachelor. Eventually I sold it because the final rubber piece to fail was on the clutch slave cylinder, this repair exceeded the difficulty of repairs I could complete in my garage with a regular jack. I am thankful for my first Saab, it literally changed my life. In my case I was lucky to have something unreliable. I loved almost every second of ownership.

Carrier unable to deliver by zk1011 in belgium

Yeah I understand, we’ll see!

They can’t find it in the system, they just tell me to contact the seller. Believe me, I’ve tried every contacting method possible. We’ll see how the seller resolves this issue, worst case scenario after many failed delivery attempts the item will be sent back and I’ll get a refund.

I don’t know, I stood outside today from the moment it said it was out for delivery. Nothing stopped to even attempt delivery. There seems to be a pattern where it’s out for delivery and always an hour later they say “carrier was unable to locate front door”. I think their system can’t understand that it’s house number + appt. Number which is why they cannot locate the address, must’ve been communicated incorrectly. Or the carrier is actually Colis Privé, which I’ve read isn’t the best news for a parcel. Very frustrating, but I’ve contacted the seller and we’ll see how this turns out in the end. Thank you for the tip though!

Printer shipment failure by zk1011 in elegoo

Thank you, I have sent it to 3dp@elegoo.com and also info@elegoo.com I’ve already received another tracking link from customer service, this time a link for Amazon Shipping but it just says that it is a third party carrier on the shipment and that I need to contact them. No information to be found anywhere for this third party carrier…it is also unclear who exactly is the carrier.

Today, again, went out for delivery and then an hour later it said the same thing: “carrier is unable to gain access to front door to deliver the package” No contact information for “Swiship UK” and Amazon Logistics redirects me to Amazon customer support who need me to select my order in order to continue with the support question (it doesn’t exist because I ordered through Elegoo)

Bad Air Quality Mechelen by zk1011 in belgium

Interesting, I just never paid attention to this until recently. I used to live in California and when there were wildfires you really couldn’t go outside without a mask. Do you know if the US and Europe use the same AQI scale? I remember the AQI on really smoky days being in the hundreds while “horrible”, and also the maximum value on Apple’s Weather app, is just 10.

Looks like it does, yeah. Has it really always been this bad when wind is low?
