Banter is rewarding in large part due to the risk.

Really considering the OEM Subaru subwoofer, but at 7 or 800 bucks, it's a pretty damn hard sell.

Speaking of price of oem stuff it’s absurd how expensive certain pieces are. I saw someone who installed the trd fender “extensions” the other day, looked up the price, and they’re literally 500 bucks just for some small molded pieces that probably install with 3m tape.

Well, I've now assembled two separate keyboards, that have both ended up not working out for me.
First one had an issue with the feet/stands not fitting properly and causing the acrylic case to be bowed out. This is because the screws holding the feet in contacted LEDs on the PCB when everything was assembled. Contacted the company I ordered it from, and the owner/CS rep said that I could fix it by heating the acrylic with a hairdryer. Insisted that wouldn't stop a screw from hitting the PCB, and asked to be sent a replacement. Radio silence after that. That was a nice waste of around 180 bucks. Second one had it's PCB go bad for F5, F6, 6, 7, Y, U, H, J, N and M. A firmware update fixed it for the most part, but every now and then, when I make a keystroke on one of those keys, it goes missing. Contacted that company asking what they'd do for me, and haven't heard back. This one may admittedly be my "fault" since the USB port it was plugged into in my motherboard ended up dying. Wonder if a weird power surge or something happened. In any case, I've fallen in love with the layout of the second keyboard. Went onto Taobao.com and ordered a replacement PCB and more switches for under 90 bucks, so I'm not super upset. If me assembling the replacement PCB doesn't go well, I'm going to accept that it's me, and not the keyboards that are the problem. I'm really hoping that I've just had bad luck and I'm not a total thud fuck when it comes to using a soldering iron. In better news, can't remember if I posted an update on the course I took this past week. I made it to Friday without any glaring issues. We did our practical assessment, which revolved primarily around using a digital multimeter to obtain values, and then math at just about every station. I did fairly well, I think. When I handed my test in, I was pretty confident I scored at least 90% on it. Some of the guys I was on the course with had a ton of problems with even some of the more basic stuff on the course. Looking at it from my perspective, there were guys from companies that I am looking to apply to when I get my certification in that were on the course with me, and I know for sure I could easily replace the guy who had trouble converting mA to A and mV to V and vice versa. This next year is going to be exciting. |

Course went well, but I still have my theory test coming up. Too bad they changed the test format recently, and its Computer Based Testing now, with I believe 100 questions, and 150 minutes to complete. All questions are multiple choice, which means one point per question, and no partial marks for at least showing your math. |
