Linus mentioned if they got an X-ray imager they'd post pics of the screwdriver, so I figured I'd take a look and see what it looked like. I'm kinda curious what the clip in the top of the bit retainer is for.

[left thorn]

Probably the part that’s broken in mine haha

My bit holster seems to not like to stay inside the screwdriver 😂

I’m sure support will sort it out soon enough but now you know what it does

[maiden spade]

I saw that pic. I wonder if that part might be entirely missing, since it looks like the holster came out as soon as you got it out of the box

[left thorn]

Not quite that quick

It still worked for a bit but the tolerances must have been off or something

Also it’s been hilarious how much people are willing and wanting to trash the screwdriver in that Reddit thread

[pine bay]

thats really cool

[pine bay]

i think they talked about that clip in either the stubby or the build your own screwdriver FP exclusives

its in the stubby video. apparently its a spring
its around the 15 minute mark: https://www.floatplane.com/post/cWxwc7z9Te

[zinc slate]

Evangelion?

[stoic void]

?

[verbal quail]

the eva theme

[stoic void]

Uh, alrighty?

[stoic void]

I need that keycap sey

[stoic void]

I'm an ok anime nerd, but I've never heard of that one heh

[maiden spade]

Yep! That's exactly what it is 🤣 thanks for the link! I didn't see that exclusive.

[pine bay]

Yw 😄

[safe stratus]

You've never heard of it? Wow, even I've only seen a few anime and I've heard of it (but never seen it)

[thin vale]

They have arrived 👀

[peak halo]

Uh, that’s her name

[thin vale]

First world problem: screwdriver has arrived and is set up, no screws need driving right now, but at least I've finally experienced the ratchet

[placid grail]

Screwdriver is absolutely amazing

Its now the only screwdriver I've touched in shop all day (until I get a macbook cuz I don't have the bit for that yet)

[thin vale]

And I know the tracker pocket must be well hidden because despite rewatching the backpack video a few days ago I'm gonna need a refresher to find exactly where it is

Will have to get a Tile or something instead though; I don't use iPhone so an AirTag is out of the question

[placid grail]

I'll have to buy a new set of tiles lol

Ouch my wallet 💀

[fiery dawn]

Ahhhhhhhhh

[placid grail]

I already have 4 tiles. One on each of my car keys, my house keys and also my yubikey

[peak halo]

Yeah, Tile should fit.

[thin vale]

Yeah I would be surprised if it wouldn't

[placid grail]

The hidden pocket in the backpack is literally awesome

And really just the amount of pockets in general

[thin vale]

I have a KeySmart Pro which has built-in Tile tracking so I'm already kinda into the ecosystem

I mainly got it for the organisation but having tracking included is a nice bonus

Even though I don't lose my keys

[placid grail]

I like tile cuz I use a multitude of iphones and android devices

I just wonder what this black thing is for

[thin vale]

Luggage strap

[placid grail]

Ahh

[thin vale]

Can be removed and tucked into the passport pocket if you aren't using it

Have you had yours long? I watched the backpack video when it released and then again a few days ago as a refresher before mine arrived

[placid grail]

My boss called me insane but if only he saw how excited I was to pack it at the end of today

[thin vale]

It does get mentioned

[placid grail]

Only got it today

[thin vale]

OK same as me then

Probably a bit over an hour ago

Maybe an hour and a half, kinda lost track of time trying it out and loading the screwdriver

[placid grail]

Only thing I notice with my bag is that the screwdriver doesn't sit as well as the picture in the store page

Which is fine cuz it means I can fit my knife in there

[thin vale]

JerryRigEverything knife, or regular knife?

[placid grail]

JerryRigEverything

[peak halo]

Have a picture of Adam’s finger

[thin vale]

Nice. Maybe I'll pick one up the next time I order something

[placid grail]

Its really sharp I'll say that much

[thin vale]

Thanks, I was just on the product page to see how the screwdriver was sat based on what Shadow said so I think I was about to see it at some point

[placid grail]

Massive liability for someone like me honestly but ehh

[thin vale]

When I put my screwdriver in the pocket it was shaft-up but the picture has it handle-up so maybe I'll keep it that way

Fits pretty neatly for me

[peak halo]

The JerryRigEverything knife is just a nicely-designed holder for standard razor blades

[thin vale]

Did anyone pack the bits in any particular order? I found myself doing the crossheads and flats in ascending size order left to right at the top and then the hexes and squares ascending underneath with the magnet bit last

All with the labels facing out

[placid grail]

I tried to

[thin vale]

Tell you what, I've no particular need for the stubby screwdriver but the precision one looks nice

And this is coming from someone with an ES120

[placid grail]

I have literally no use for anything other than Phillips heads rn

[thin vale]

Yeah honestly I'm not doing much with screwdrivers right now outside of when I make adjustments to my PC, which at the moment isn't terribly often but I'm gonna want to upgrade my CPU when I have the money to do it

[placid grail]

Also I've uncovered the fact that the backpack can fit 10 ThinkPads

If it can do more idk there are only 10 in store rn (the other 10 are at my house)

[thin vale]

They'll never suspect you

[placid grail]

I'm actually the supplier for the shop thinkpads lol

[thin vale]

The first laptop I personally owned had a 17.3" screen; it's still around, maybe I should see if it would fit or if it's just slightly too big

The one I use now should definitely fit, and I'd keep it in there if I didn't have it regularly out. Certainly will put it in there if I go anywhere though

Along with my torches, lasers and batteries for them

[placid grail]

Idk if I can fit more in my bag lol

I still have to transfer everything from my old bag

Kinda a reason why my bags get so full is cuz I do carry a big plush around. Say what you want :/

[thin vale]

What's to say? Carry what you like

For me I haven't really used a rucksack since school (which I think I said the other day) and I went through a few (not loads) as eventually they would give way somewhere, probably in each of the places Linus pointed out in the backpack video

[placid grail]

Mine rarely broke

[thin vale]

Day to day I don't need to carry a lot around but I will definitely decide what things I use most or are most likely to need that I just have around my space that could go in there

[placid grail]

My 2018 bag is worn out but still works

[thin vale]

In fact one is a little HDMI dock that I can keep in there

puts in one thing then takes the screwdriver out and starts playing with it again

[placid grail]

Me I carry my thinkpad, alt laptop for alt personality (idk why I do this), my go 3 tablet (portable usage windows tablet since my thinkpad don't last long), starting to take my android tablet with SuperDisplay, a random amount of USBs, a very specific pen cuz I'm picky, 3DS, Pixel 6a (main phone) and Pixel 7 Pro (still has data I need on it and also has company phone number)

Also carry a large USB C charger as well

And Gus (my plush who also tends to be my alt personality at times)

But also 2 phones is good when you're on hold with a support company and need to call a customer cuz the shop phone is also on hold with the same support company but for a completely different reason/case

[thin vale]

Is the 7 Pro basically your work phone then, if it has the company number? I have a 7 Pro and really enjoy it, and would only probably use a 6a in place of it if there was a specific reason not to use the 7 Pro, like if it's a work phone

Oh yeah maybe I could keep my lightsabers in there too

[delicate thistle]

Beautiful

[glossy stream]

anyone know if i can still order LTX-dino deskpad?

[gaunt ice]

LTX exclusives still seem to be available, just checked if I could add to cart

[glossy stream]

I best get to it then!

[wise saddle]

I wish I got the meme pillow lol

[fair aspen]

Still on sale I think

[wise saddle]

I couldn’t find it on the sites

Site

[fair aspen]

Correct sorry I was wrong I thought I saw it but I probably did not sorry

[placid grail]

Yeah. Except it is my own number too. I have it if I ever need to call the customers (we do this on our own numbers) cuz 3cx is expensive for outgoing calls

[thin vale]

I don't know what 3cx is, but noted

[placid grail]

Basically a VoIP system

[fierce valve]

New product?

Ltt calander lol

[rare ibex]

Better be half price now.

[fierce valve]

Imagine it's a year late

[vale wraith]

I love how it just says

"Your company name" at the top left lmfao

[left thorn]

so what note am I sending Kyle with my screwdriver? hahah

[rare ibex]

Ask for sticker/pins or autographs. 😝

[left thorn]

I don’t want to ask them for more stuff haha

I was a lime day purchaser I’m sure I already lost them plenty of money haha

[rare ibex]

The screwdriver wasn't on Lime sale hopefully.

Probably a detailed note on how it happened. The top piece clicks in to the barbs in the handle/shaft.

[patent pebble]

this backpack is FIRE

[hard thorn]

Oh that happened to me too

.

[candid fern]

Kyle is super cool. I met him at LTX during his meet and greet. He had a huge line, each person was given 2 minutes to talk to each panelist.
I told Kyle he was super cool, I didn't want to take up too much of his time, all I wanted was his signature and to tell him how much I liked the screw driver. He called me back and had me take the full two minutes to tell him about my favorite things about LTT.

[rare ibex]

He's very passionate about the work they put into the screwdriver as well.

Kyle pulled out the prototype transparent driver at the end of the Build Your Own Screwdriver line.

[fair aspen]

How do you write a review for Ltt merch

[peak halo]

Click the link in the email that invited you to leave a review

[fair aspen]

That is my issue got not email

That is what it said in the forums aswell

[peak halo]

Normally arrives 30 days after your order date

[fair aspen]

Not been 30days

Thanks for the info

[peak halo]

Might be 45 days, email looks like this

[peak smelt]

yea 45 days is what I have gotten in the past

[fair aspen]

Since when did Ltt make shoe laces

They are in the bonus bin

I swear I have never seen them befor

[unkempt marsh]

A good year and a half?

[peak halo]

Since shortly after they came out with the RGB Hoodie a year ago and wanted to “match the aesthetic’”

[fair aspen]

Never noticed

[peak halo]

https://youtu.be/SqgSEgVph1U?t=2300s

[weak schooner]

Going on my first trip with the ltt backpack, also, where do you guys put your headphones? I cant seem to find a good place

[peak halo]

Woah, iPod Classic, nice. My MX3s come in a hard case that I just lob into the bag of holding

[weak schooner]

Same but with no case, im looking to implement something of my own into it in the future

[storm hemlock]

yay my brother likes the ltt water bottle I got him as a gift ^_^

[wet spade]

My first order of lime day has arrived. 😍

[fair aspen]

can someone take a picture of their 12AM GREEN water bottle and tell how good or bad it is. And if the pain has stayed on

[fair aspen]

idea i do nt have oen but maybe int he screw driver pocket if they are small enogh or even airpod might be able to fit but over ear oens maybe shove them in the main body with a case

[mystic cloak]

for what it's worth, i have an ltt water bottle in this colorway and i think it's super underrated

[fair aspen]

i thoguth it would be a popular colour

i like the look but want to know what it look like in real light

[candid fern]

omg the GPU plush is huge lol

[dry bolt]

It's very close to the website picture.

[fair aspen]

Looks better I really want it now

[fair aspen]

Why is there a review saying there is no Ltt logo

[fair aspen]

Where did you get that lid from

[dry bolt]

It's a hydroflask straw lid. I got it off Amazon.

the mouth is the same and 100% compatible with hydroflask wide lids

[onyx drum]

Man that color looks sooo good!

[verbal quail]

are the stickers waterproof

idk if i can put them on my bottle or nah

[storm hemlock]

I think so.. I have them on my phone. They're mostly doing good besides a few frayed edges where I've caught them on stuff

I guess maybe that's not a fair comparison cause of condensation or whatnot though

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BM4K3VDM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got these lids for all my ltt water bottles

I like them

They seem a bit sturdier than the ones included

For the bottles I gave as gifts I just swapped out the included lids with these ones

[verbal quail]

are they loose like the original lids? i like the way they spin / open really easily with one hand

[true jetty]

hey there, so i want to buy a backpack and im locally in Vancouver, ive ordered several times and orders usually arrive in 3-4 days, but i'm flying home for a month next saturday on the 12th and i'd need it to arrive by then. just wondering if anybody has ordered from the store post-LTX and if processing/shipping times are still normal? please feel free to reply and allow it to ping me if you respond, thanks!

missed the chance to get it at LTX unfortunately lol

[patent pebble]

HOLY COW! screwdriver changed my life

[rare ibex]

Oh?

[patent pebble]

it feel so good

[storm hemlock]

I have no problem loosening the lid with one finger

I have both lids next to each other and tried both

I don't think I noticed much of a difference as far as pressure needed to unscrew the lids

[verbal quail]

awesome

i have a manna bottle (unfortunately the lids are even wider) and its really hard to open it with one hand..

this lid feels liberating LOL

[storm hemlock]

Oooh Idk when I got this bottle I heard the original lids were kinda flimsy so I got these ones from amazon. I do like the amazon ones more. The original lid lost it's ability to hold the lid so it doesn't smack your face pretty quickly

granted I was treating it like a fidget device and just rocking it back and forth

[verbal quail]

loll understandable

honestly the lids are nice i just wished the handle had some silicone on the inside so it didnt hurt so much carrying it

[covert carbon]

for anyone that got a stubby screwdriver at ltx, is it normal for the bit holder to be tighter than the normal screwdriver? my stubby feels considerably tighter and scratchier than my regular ltt driver

[drowsy hawk]

Curious how long does it take for LTT Store to respond to support tickets?

I ended up with the wrong colour screwdrivers.

[drowsy hawk]

I would consider it normal... I have multiple standard screwdrivers. Some of them are smoother than others

Some of them are scratchy. With the custom screwdriver it seems like the more lube you jam into it. the smoother it is?

[covert carbon]

ah i see thanks

yeah i have a custom one as well and i dont think i put enough lube in it lol

[drowsy hawk]

Lmfao when I made a custom driver. I was like. Screw their advice on putting alittle... I jammed it full haha

[verbal quail]

istg if i see these photos one more time

[drowsy hawk]

LMFAO

Shh dont need to say you did an oopsy

[verbal quail]

i didnt say i did

💀

[drowsy hawk]

🤣

[unkempt seal]

it varies. on average my experience is 1 day. (not counting the period they were understaffed). but i opened a ticket 2 days ago (going into day 3). i just assume they might have a back log because of ltx or something.

[drowsy hawk]

eh fair. they haven't gotten back to me on my LTX ticket refund for being a volunteer.

They must be very swampped

[unkempt seal]

yeah that's what I'm thinking as well

[drowsy hawk]

My spending at LTX dropped my credit score by 16 points lmfao from over utilization

[verbal quail]

til use a debit card for impulse purchases so they never know...

[drowsy hawk]

I get nice points. I dont mind. Once I pay it off it will sky rocket again

[verbal quail]

great

[unkempt marsh]

LTTStore coming in clutch with shipping. Everything from Lime day arrived on my birthday 🎉 Best birthday present

Happy birthday! 🥳

MOAR HOODIE https://www.lttstore.com/products/indoor-hoodie

[stuck torrent]

Theres an unusually priced bundle of bananas that also happens to be on sale too.

[velvet hamlet]

Shows as one of the oldest items and sold out for me.

[fierce valve]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1522813-indoor-hoodie-being-restocked/

[verbal quail]

buy 4 get one free lmfao

[unkempt seal]

not in stock

[fierce valve]

What kind of bit holder works with the ltt bits?

[patent pebble]

the one built into the screwdriver

[rare ibex]

I don't think aftermarket ones would work too well, as they are custom shorter bits.

There's quite a few if you search on Thangs for LTT. That is if you have access to a 3D printer.

[lunar compass]

Minus the whale and keychain, my LTX order is on the way! Hurray!

[jaunty nebula]

@mystic cloak are there any updates for pre-ordered merch that could not be fulfilled for pickup at LTX and is now expected to be shipped instead?

[pine bay]

My screwdriver just arrived. I was showing it to my dad, and he tilted the tiny box that the bits come in to look at the bottom for some reason, all of the bits fell out and scattered everywhere

[verbal quail]

at least it comes with a magnet

[pine bay]

yeah, the issue was finding them since they scatterd all around the room 😄

[fierce valve]

I just need to know, are there any updates on the backpack rain cover?

[fallow lake]

Is it just me, or did shipping randomly jump dramatically in price?

[stuck torrent]

oh hey, indoor hoodies are now actually back in stock and relaunched. Kinda quick turnaround compared to what linuse forum post implied.

It looks subtley different from the OG although I can't pinpoint what's off

[fierce valve]

I guess "take more time" means a week and soon means a very long time

[rare ibex]

So reverse psychology?

[fierce valve]

lol maybe they forgot about the indoor hoodies until the forum post

[rare ibex]

More than likely they got a random shipment of them in.

[fierce valve]

Idk maybe Linus just decided to look into it and might've been almost done

[rare ibex]

Could be, the Van Port strike is delaying anything from China. Not sure where most of the clothing is made though.

[peak smelt]

new ones have a zipper inside one of the pockets, OG did not and zipper pull looks a little longer on the thread part my my check.

[devout hatch]

probably have already replied

[drowsy hawk]

Mine hasn't

[devout hatch]

surprising

mine was answered within 24 hours

[devout hatch]

if you end up getting the black ones as freebies send me one lmao 💀

doubt it will happen though

[drowsy hawk]

Pizza Hut, Credit Score, Ticketmaster RBC Era's Tour, Cineplex, Amazon, dbrand. No LTT store 😦

[devout hatch]

sadge

[drowsy hawk]

@mystic cloak are the LTX sticker pack stickers waterproof?

i wanna slap em on my LTT waterbottle lol

@devout hatch anyways what sucks is that I gotta get these to the UK soon... Imma need to find solutions lol

[devout hatch]

oof

[drowsy hawk]

lol I wondering when correcting for the error. would they let me buy a ltt mousepad with it?

I do want a vancouver skyline mousepad

[rancid oxide]

Hey this might be an odd question but I just got my ltt store water bottle about 2 days ago. I just dropped it and the handle on the lid broke. Is there a 30 day warrenty that covers the lid?

[drowsy hawk]

Well... Physical Damage... Most warranties do not cover accidental damage

But tbh... Just buy a new lid on Amazon. They seem to last longer than the LTT lids lol

[rancid oxide]

well that sucks

[rancid oxide]

any recomendations?

btw where it broke

[drowsy hawk]

@rancid oxide where you from? Canada, US, or Germany?

[rancid oxide]

The us

[drowsy hawk]

@rancid oxide https://www.amazon.com/Vmini-Compatible-Sports-Bottle-Rubber/dp/B07W712WVX/ https://www.amazon.com/Ouharty-Hydroflask-Bottles-Replacement-Bottle/dp/B0BM4K3VDM/

pick one

[jaunty nebula]

Plastic weld or replace it

[drowsy hawk]

These are compatible

[jaunty nebula]

Mine broke after 2 days when I pulled a Linus and I picked up a new one

[rancid oxide]

thanks guys

[drowsy hawk]

lol your lid broke? @jaunty nebula

[rancid oxide]

so does it break cause its just cheap plastic or cause its thin?

[drowsy hawk]

The lid design is just... aren't rly made to take a beating imo

[jaunty nebula]

Yeah…

[rancid oxide]

which is funny considering who is always saying to buy the water bottle

[drowsy hawk]

yeah...

alot of people's lids are breaking. honestly LTT store support is flooded. Such a cheap and easy fix from amazon. I wouldn't even bother

[rancid oxide]

I might even have an old water bottle with the same lid

[jaunty nebula]

Most popular brands like hydroflask have similar lid design that should be cross compatible. I’m using my thermoflask lid

[rancid oxide]

brb im going to go look

[drowsy hawk]

if you guys wanna clean your LTT waterbottle. And you put something that isn't water and makes it nasty. Kirkland Dishwasher Tablets seem to work really well

Just pour hot water and drop a tablet it. let it soak

[wise saddle]

I’ve had like 3 break the lids they give just kinda suck in terms of durability. Haven’t contact them about it tho as they are very cheap

[drowsy hawk]

honestly. just buy replacements off amazon. lol shipping a new lid isn't worth it

[rancid oxide]

ya the shipping from them is kinda expensive

[wise saddle]

I got 2 more once with an order I was already gonna place but I’m just gonna get generic ones from now on. Sucks cuz the actual handle and the sipping mechanism is cool and it screws off easy

[rancid oxide]

xlite which one do you recommend

i suck at picking this stuff

[drowsy hawk]

flip a coin. I prefer the first one cuz colors

[rancid oxide]

I didnt notice the colours so im going to get that one. colours are cooler

plus its has more reviews

[drowsy hawk]

😄

[long path]

hmmm, what bottle do i want

[rare ibex]

So Linus want's us to buy a screwdriver in a week or two. Wonder what's coming, stubby?

[pine bay]

thats what i would assume

[willow fable]

probably. hoping for a sale tho.

[rare ibex]

Doubt it, maybe free shipping.

Long boy was $90 CAD and stubby was $80 @ LTX. $68/$60 USD.

[verbal quail]

lmao i was asking the same thing for the same reason

i slapped a soon tm sticker on

we'll see how it lasts

why does it announce it like this 😭

[clear hound]

are the proper pants not released yet on the LTT store?

[peak smelt]

Stubby has been mentioned as going on sale after LTX, a previous approx date thrown around was 17th August, so maybe slightly earlier than expected.

[rare ibex]

Could be. Think Kyle at LTX was giving a rough estimate of Sept. Looks like the molds and parts for the screwdrivers are made locally.

[drowsy hawk]

I got myself 2 stubbies 😄

[devout hatch]

i think i should have ordered a 64 lol

[drowsy hawk]

Yeah it's perfect

[devout hatch]

i like this one

looks nice

[drowsy hawk]

Thanks. I got it for free at LTX

[devout hatch]

💀

fr?

[drowsy hawk]

Well... Not exactly free...

I was volunteering a fuck ton

[devout hatch]

buy 1 get 1 free?

ahh

i see

makes sense

[drowsy hawk]

They are great about this. Keeps us hydrated

[devout hatch]

i'd prefer 40 for everything except for having hydration in my room

but that is what i use it for mostly rn

[drowsy hawk]

64oz if it's on a table is fine.

[devout hatch]

yeah that is where mine is mostly

[drowsy hawk]

40oz is good for travel. It can fit in a backpack. Though I think a smaller bottle would be better since water ain't light

[devout hatch]

40oz you can even walk through tynehead regional park with (||spoiler, i did it.||)

[drowsy hawk]

[verbal quail]

tynehead ptsd

i keep my 40 on my desk

[devout hatch]

not as bad as cambell valley park or however you spell it

[verbal quail]

ptsd not bc of the trail but bc of the memories

easy walk

[devout hatch]

yes

[drowsy hawk]

I wonder how much longer we need to wait for LTT store to reply

[verbal quail]

i swear every corner it feels like you're done but NO there's more

[devout hatch]

the maps are terrible there

[verbal quail]

yeah

i only do the perimeter trail with the biking LOL

[devout hatch]

i wish the you are here dot was an arrow pointing in the direction you are facing when reading the sign

or color coded trail signs with colored legend on the map

like in hospital

[verbal quail]

lmao both times i went with my family both times we got lost

[devout hatch]

this part is the easiest to get lost in

it is the part you somehow always get lost at at least once

[verbal quail]

honestly idek anymore bc i haven't been to the trails in years (bc we got lost)

the bike trail is so much better and it passes by a timmies double win LOL

[drowsy hawk]

Btw anyone know how much LTT tshirts shrink?

Cuz my mom decided to wash it in warm water... And I don't fit comfortably in it anymore

[bold ridge]

Hey, uhm, kinda new here, so sorry if I'm supposed to ask this in some other text channel
But can you order ltt merch from Bangladesh?

[fair aspen]

Reach out to support and maybe they will help ypi

[unkempt seal]

should probably work. i think there are only a few countries they can't ship too. just try it. if its not possible it will tell you during checkout.

[verbal quail]

i feel like they may have shrank in the slightest but i did wash with cold

[fierce valve]

What is this?

[unreal vector]

just got my LTT screwdriver and i already love it. I can't wait to put it to good use in about 10 days

[drowsy hawk]

I love LTT screwdriver 😄

[meager scroll]

What's going on with hats? I cannot find any in the shop. Saw James rock a all red LTT hat and need that,, or all white. Had the all black, but that discoloured for some reason, but wouldn't mind another.

[wraith nova]

Dad hats have been gone for a long time

[ivory anchor]

I would love the screwdriver but I can't get myself to cough up the money. I'm sure it's amazing though..

[rare ibex]

It's great if you use it everyday it be worth it. Granted you can get away to cheaper ones (some good, some very bad).

[clear hound]

And it is not ratcheting

Christmas Album 2 on Vinyl please

[fair aspen]

Please

We need to start a protest

[peak halo]

Dad hats aren’t coming back, they’re working toward selling a more premium water-resistant hat instead

[rare ibex]

For what?

[fair aspen]

For Christmas album 2

Who does not want to hear Linus sing

[rare ibex]

I thought that was a joke lol

[wise saddle]

We need it

[fair aspen]

We need it

We grave it

I am to young to know if there is or was a number one

[wise saddle]

There is

In the depths of the LTT forums

[fierce valve]

Why don't they want to?

[fair aspen]

Linus probably does not want to sing or feel embarrassed by it

[fierce valve]

He strips down into his underwear for photoshoots

[stuck torrent]

I think its not so much embaressment as exceptionally poor value that makes him against it. The raw material is apparently exceptionally poor, and dans (or whomever else might be qualified) time is very valuable so Linus doesnt want us wasting our money or dan wasting his time on it.

[clever crypt]

https://youtu.be/rnIeknursww?t=1668

timestamped for you

linus will sing even if he doesnt want to

[fierce valve]

I think they'd make money from it

Linus didn't want to make the stubby screwdriver either

[wise saddle]

They would make money we are very easy to please apparently

[lyric abyss]

LFG, i was worried It would take til sept 30th to ship as stated

[fierce valve]

When's the PCMR coming? Also is it limited

[old maple]

I'm looking at the lifetime spendings of my LTTstore account and I'm like

yeah, I'm a LABS investor

please help I have a crippling LTTstore addiction

[left thorn]

Replacement screwdriver OTW

[drowsy hawk]

Wait when did they send it?

[left thorn]

Let me check

[drowsy hawk]

[left thorn]

It was Wednesday

Actually shipped on Thursday I believe

So pretty quick overall

[drowsy hawk]

Mhmm... I haven't gotten a email response lol

[left thorn]

I’m including a little note to Kyle and the team with the driver when I go to send a return Monday

[left thorn]

When did you send an email

Keep in mind they are pacific time

[drowsy hawk]

Umm... Shortly after LTX

I'm in Pacific time lol

[left thorn]

Gotcha haha, it’s something I forget

I think mine got a bit escalated because of my Reddit post (that wasn’t the goal of posting by the way)

[drowsy hawk]

Oh? How did yours break?

@left thorn wait what happen for your need to get a replacement?

[left thorn]

This

[drowsy hawk]

Oh lol

It doesn't just pop back in?

[left thorn]

It did

But kept getting looser and looser

Now it just falls out

[drowsy hawk]

@left thorn btw what subreddit did you post it in? 😂 I'm curious about the jokes people say in the comments

[rare ibex]

r/LinusTechTips

[drowsy hawk]

Time to do some scrolling 😂

[rare ibex]

No need. https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/15fatb7/my_bit_clip_came_out_of_my_screwdriver/

[drowsy hawk]

LMFAO I love the comments

[rare ibex]

Know anyone that works at CATSA at YVR? 😄

[drowsy hawk]

Why?

Are you asking if I can get some confiscated screwdrivers?

[rare ibex]

There's a post on the Reddit post saying at least 20 LTT screwdrivers got confiscated on Monday lol

[drowsy hawk]

LMFAO

I was actively telling people. Do not bring it onto the airplane by carryon

[rare ibex]

PSAs on Reddit too.

[drowsy hawk]

😂 I was telling people. For $20 CAD I'll ship it anywhere in habitable Canada and USA. UPS or FedEx Express or Purolator.

Since some were like... AWW THE POST OFFICE IS SOO FAR AWAY

[rare ibex]

Uh lol

[drowsy hawk]

Habitable = I'm not sending it to Nunavut

[hollow nest]

your a Nunavut

[drowsy hawk]

Luv you Richard.

Great kids.

They keep reminding me who you are ❤️

[hollow nest]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-worried-gif-13038257

im an old man

[rare ibex]

Post office too far? Isn't there a CanadaPost in LD at VCC?

[drowsy hawk]

Remember. Gamers. Food Court is easy. Rexall is too far.

[rare ibex]

Rexall bad. Prices were a rip.

I thought Shoppers was bad lol

[drowsy hawk]

You can't get me to shop at Rexall. Even RBC's accelerated points earning can't make me spend there

It's such a rip off

[rare ibex]

Was the closest for alternative drinks like 4x Redbull I think to the Convention, besides the convenience stores.

[drowsy hawk]

Just get RedBull from London drugs

[rare ibex]

Within a 5min walk with a full backpack 😛

[drowsy hawk]

London drugs was at LTX

😂

[rare ibex]

Pft. Airplane style cup.

[drowsy hawk]

Oh. They were handing me boxes 😂

[drowsy hawk]

Drink enough and you'll be fine 😂

[rare ibex]

Last day pounded 3 cans to stay awake 🤣

[drowsy hawk]

Pfff

I don't know how many can I drank

[rare ibex]

But you still young.

[drowsy hawk]

5 cans in is caffeine OD I think lol

[rare ibex]

https://militaryenergygum.com/ this shit was a god send back in the day

[drowsy hawk]

Holy fucking shit

[rare ibex]

Too expensive now, use to buy it from Amazon.ca

[drowsy hawk]

100mg per gum...

Holy fuck

[rare ibex]

You get the perkiness from the caffeine without having to run to the bathroom like energy drinks.

[drowsy hawk]

Considering I usually pop two gums at once... That 1 energy drink in the USA. Illegal in Canada 😂

[old maple]

If only they could make the same thing with melatonin for insomnia...

[rare ibex]

Don't they have gummies nowadays?

[drowsy hawk]

Faster to just do a permanent sleep program. You'll choke on gum 😂

[old maple]

Yeah I've been considering getting a jar of the damn thing now

[old maple]

A permanent sleep program?

[drowsy hawk]

Umm... ☠️

Please don't chew gum and sleep

But you can get some of those melatonin tablets from the pharmacy

[rare ibex]

Melt under the tongue?

[drowsy hawk]

Naw.. Just swallow

[rare ibex]

What Geek needs.

[drowsy hawk]

Try drinking a warm cup of tea

Non caffeinated

LTT should sell some lol

[rare ibex]

Oh, yeah I forgot. Someone did ask Linus if he'd do a deorderant on the WAN show. Straight up, nope.

[drowsy hawk]

LMFAO

[old maple]

Tea got theine which is essentially the same as caffeine

[drowsy hawk]

Everyone smelling like Linus

[old maple]

lmaooooo

[old maple]

yeah, I'll get a box or two tomorrow

[drowsy hawk]

I'm tempted to get a booth next LTX and sell Deodorant

[old maple]

[rare ibex]

Just get one of the sponsors too.

Like NVIDIA. 😆

[old maple]

Bruh

[rare ibex]

Now you can smell like Rich Jensen!

[drowsy hawk]

LMFAO I do know some artisanal people

That can make some unique scents if I buy a batch

[rare ibex]

Smell like supple leather jacket.

[drowsy hawk]

Lmfao I might contact some people to get deodorant. Hopefully sell enough to cover some booth cost.

Gonna do it as a meme

Imma go register a trade name

Just for shits and giggles

[clever crypt]

the liquid version of this is gas

[ember agate]

Is it mentioned anywhere after how many uses the water bottle should be washed/how many days? e.g wash after every use, wash ever x days

[drowsy hawk]

It should be the slip inside the waterbottle

[ember agate]

No it just says wash it 2-3 times before first use

[hard thorn]

if you're using it for water, basically never

if you put literally anything else in it, wash it immediately

[rare ibex]

Eh? I'd still wash it. Never know what will grow in there even with water. Bottle brush with water, soap one/twice a week imo.

[stuck torrent]

Apply basically the same cleanliness routine you would for a regular drinking glass imo, since that's basically what it is just more portable.

[hard thorn]

well yes, basically never

iirc it's not dishwasher safe

so I just hand-wash it every week or two

[stuck torrent]

It's not dishwasher safe.

[rare ibex]

If you're super lazy you could also use denture tablets.

[hard thorn]

that requires buying denture tablets

or stealing from old people

[rare ibex]

lol

[drowsy hawk]

Or dishwasher tablets work

[rare ibex]

Use them once a week at least for a coffee cup too.

[drowsy hawk]

Honestly. It took about a week to get rid of the new water bottle taste

[rare ibex]

Dishwaher tabs work too, but generally more money.

[drowsy hawk]

Eh they are cheap from Costco

The Kirkland signature ones work fine

[rare ibex]

Same with denture tabs, Costco 222 of them for $16.

[drowsy hawk]

Well after buying denture tablets... what use do you have for the rest?

[rare ibex]

Thermos, bottles. Use them every week.

[drowsy hawk]

Oh in that case sure

I rarely deep clean my waterbottle since there isn't really a need

I rinse it out every day

[rare ibex]

Yeah that's usually all you need. I just go extra as when you're getting water from public places, you dunno how clean it is.

Though, the mouth/rim you kinda should clean frequently.

[drowsy hawk]

I am thinking of picking some up

maybe useful next time i put stuff that isn't water into the waterbottle

to clean it out lol

they look nice to clean my retainers too

[rare ibex]

Could also go to the Dollar Store to pick up the generic stuff too.

[drowsy hawk]

Im lazy. Amazon it is

[rare ibex]

lol

says the guy that volunteered for LTX23

[drowsy hawk]

yes

[verbal quail]

bruh

i use à bottle sponge to clean mine 😭

with soap

we have the powder stuff to clean bottles but i've never used them lmao

[drifting trail]

does anyone know if the mystery water bottles can be AM4 or AM5 mobos? the description just says random Mobo design and i’ve only been able to find LGA Mobo water bottle designs on lttstore

[drowsy hawk]

Work smarter not harder

[verbal quail]

i mean honestly if i put the tablet in to do its job i would've left it on the table until the next day or smth 💀

[drowsy hawk]

Yeah.

[rare ibex]

Yep, that usually works. Brush if you want it even more clean lol

[drowsy hawk]

Mhmm... Denture cleaners are very cheap....wow.

[verbal quail]

lol yeah but i've gotten lazy recently since i'm just drinking water so i just rinse the bottle everyday and wash it when i feel like i should wash it with soap

[verbal quail]

i haven't used those cleaning tablets for my retainers in years 💀

something tells me i should (cannot be bothered to look for them)

[fair aspen]

That is gross

Do they not smell

[verbal quail]

no

[rare ibex]

Brush them, use alcohol, wear them and drink vodka.

[verbal quail]

i rinse them all the time

[fair aspen]

Oh ok

[verbal quail]

💀

[drowsy hawk]

I take a toothbrush to mine

[verbal quail]

i wear them overnight only

yeah same

[fair aspen]

I do that

[fair aspen]

Same I think we all do

[verbal quail]

maybe like 2-3 times a week or even less when i'm lazy so they ain't that bad

[fair aspen]

I use the tablet once a mount

[verbal quail]

i used to use the tablet when i actually wore them full time lmao

[fair aspen]

Just like someone I know

[verbal quail]

lol

[fair aspen]

The his not Ltt merch we better stop now

Maybe Ltt should make retainers we can all go to sleep with Ltt written on our mouths

[rare ibex]

lol

[verbal quail]

💀

even if they did i wouldn't trust them

LOL imagine the amount of human labor required to just make one

[rare ibex]

LTT Invisaligns.

[drowsy hawk]

Naw... Not only that they would need a medical license

[verbal quail]

yes

[drowsy hawk]

I hold a medical license. It's not great

They would need something called an MDEL

[verbal quail]

"oh it's so simple just ship us your retainers and we do the rest!" 💀💀💀💀 imagine the shipping fees, machine/material costs, license costs 😭

[drowsy hawk]

MDEL is cheap yearly

It's like $4k a year

[fair aspen]

Cheap

[verbal quail]

i mean it all adds up

[drowsy hawk]

It's very cheap. $4k a year.

For a business

[verbal quail]

yeah

i'm saying the shopping

[rare ibex]

"Backed by our Trust Me Bro guarantee"

[verbal quail]

shipping LOL

imagine they made you pay for the shipping yourself

[drowsy hawk]

Shipping is like $16

Eh

[verbal quail]

no people would complain 💀

[drowsy hawk]

People complain when no free shipping

[verbal quail]

exactly

but then you pay shipping twice

[drowsy hawk]

If LTT jacked up the price and did free shipping everyone would be happy

[verbal quail]

which is worse

[drowsy hawk]

I know it's stupid

[fair aspen]

No

[verbal quail]

yes

[fair aspen]

I leave in the uk

And like shopping is 20pounds

[drowsy hawk]

Which is nothing...

I can ship like 3 or 4 screw drivers for around that

[verbal quail]

if you're only buying a bottle lid it is quite expensive 💀

[fair aspen]

It is it take the lt water put 40usd

I agree it depends what you ship

[drowsy hawk]

Get one off Amazon

[fair aspen]

Like bottle lid not worth it

[verbal quail]

yes

[drowsy hawk]

You have to be an idiot to buy the lid only

[verbal quail]

yes

[rare ibex]

But the LTT screwdriver bits!

[fair aspen]

Maybe

Over price with shipping

[verbal quail]

wait did the custom screwdrivers come with bits?

they better have

[rare ibex]

Yeah.

[verbal quail]

oh ok that's reasonable LOL

[rare ibex]

Stubby only 6.

[fair aspen]

Money making the Ltt screw driver comes with not bits

[verbal quail]

yup

[fair aspen]

New idea

[verbal quail]

they already sell bits separately this is unnecessary and annoying 😭

it's like buying a phone with no charger 💀

[fair aspen]

Find me a phone which comes with a charger

[rare ibex]

None nowadays.

Thanks Apple.

[drowsy hawk]

Custom drivers came with bits unless they forgot to give ya it

It also comes with a screwdriver pin

[rare ibex]

Rainbow pin.

[fair aspen]

I wish I was at ltx

[drowsy hawk]

LTX definitely fun

[verbal quail]

wait what my phone came with a charger

💀

[drowsy hawk]

What phone did you get?

[verbal quail]

just not the brick

iphone 13 mini

[drowsy hawk]

Tf?

Third party?

[verbal quail]

what

no

apple store???

i bought it earlier this year

[drowsy hawk]

It should only come with a cable lol

[verbal quail]

yeah

without the brick

[drowsy hawk]

Brick sold separately

[rare ibex]

So no charger.

[verbal quail]

isn't that still a charger 😭

[rare ibex]

Yes, that's the charger.....

[verbal quail]

💀

[drowsy hawk]

No. Charger... People mean brick

[fair aspen]

Yes

[verbal quail]

ok well my iphone 6 came with one

🤡

[fair aspen]

What makes it worse is they soon after switched from usb to usbc

[verbal quail]

at least i didn't have to buy a brick

bc i had one that came with my ipad

so i just switch out the chargers every time

LOL

[rare ibex]

Just get a desktop charger, easier imo.

[verbal quail]

i actually use a wireless charger now bc fractal was giving them out

now i no longer need to switch out my wires to charge my phone

[rare ibex]

_> noooooo

[verbal quail]

LOL

[rare ibex]

Charge so slow.

[verbal quail]

it doesn't matter if i'm sleeping

and my phone is a mini so it charges faster anyways

[drowsy hawk]

Wait fractal design was giving out chargers?

Pic

[verbal quail]

finished faster *

yeah

[drowsy hawk]

I wanna see

[verbal quail]

uh

[rare ibex]

Yeah.

Part of their uh mesh/jute bags?

[drowsy hawk]

I realized I missed out on a lot of freebies

[verbal quail]

i don't have photo rn but u can kinda see

[verbal quail]

ya

[rare ibex]

Kinda wish I brought a throwaway CPU for the free Noctua fans.

[verbal quail]

i didn't know it was a booth until i bumped into aiden and brought me there with some other guys

[rare ibex]

They were in a shitty location.

[verbal quail]

yeah LOL

[rare ibex]

Behind the AMD Midway Line, like wtf?

[verbal quail]

i thought it was a lounge or smth??? anyways they have nice pc cases so i'm happy i went for a visit

[drowsy hawk]

Oh nice 3d printed stuff

[verbal quail]

yeah

[rare ibex]

Yeah, it was a lounge with the guy doing live OC with liquid nitrogen.

[verbal quail]

oh

[drowsy hawk]

Oooh yeah ...

I was wondering why there was a giant jug of ln2 sitting there

[rare ibex]

Was kinda wondering where people got the Noctua air coolers though.

[drowsy hawk]

During setup

[rare ibex]

Eh?

[verbal quail]

i thought it was like reserved or smth bc i walked in to see if they had water until some kid in line said "there's no more coffee"

[drowsy hawk]

Huh?

Oh yeah ...

[verbal quail]

they had drinks in there

[drowsy hawk]

Creator lounge was out of coffee

[rare ibex]

And deserts.

[verbal quail]

oof

[drowsy hawk]

Yeah cookies

Cookies were dope

It was the same cookies they shoved into our lunches

[fair aspen]

Question why is it cheaper to buy Ltt stuff on Amazon compared to the store

[unkempt seal]

are the products cheaper or just shipping?

cause if it is just shipping then that makes sense

[drowsy hawk]

Don't they only sell old Waterbottles on the Amazon site?

[fierce valve]

He said he wants to do gamer ones

As a monthly subscription

[fair aspen]

Not any more

[peak halo]

The “LTTStore” storefront on Amazon-dot-com lists the screwdriver, WAN Hoodie, BCs of Gaming, Northern Lights Desk Pad and Sticklocks

[unkempt seal]

so basically things that move slow or has a lot of stock

[fair aspen]

But why do it cheaper overal I mean including tax and shipping

[left thorn]

Since the products are already in the US, they aren’t having to import them with every order. Anything done in bulk is almost always cheaper. Also, Amazon has deals with major shipping providers that make the rates they pay to ship things much less than LTT

Also the products are usually a bit more expensive on Amazon, but cheaper shipping can often even out the difference

[fair aspen]

yes

that is what is happening the shipping is expensive that it works out eacher on amson by 30 pounds

but o do not want to support amazon

[peak halo]

Ugh, my water bottle’s glass bead is rattling around in the base, think I’ll have to replace the bottle

[verbal quail]

the fact that this is the first thing that pops up...

[bold ledge]

IDK if it's just me being paranoid or not, but considering how pro-consumer Linus generally is, it seems a little bit hypocritical that the stubby driver isn't just a little bit longer so it could hold 6 regular 1 inch/25mm bits instead of their sort of proprietary 20mm bits

[lyric abyss]

at $10 difference to the regular it's more for a niche market, those who actually need to fit into smaller spaces so that 1 inch is relatively important, 20 mm bits are unusual but this is the competition https://www.zoro.com/milwaukee-tool-8-in-1-compact-ratcheting-multi-bit-driver-48-22-2330/i/G2143953/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&utm_campaign=shopping feed&utm_content=free google shopping clicks&gclid=Cj0KCQjwib2mBhDWARIsAPZUn_nt_gaxzMRWZ9AznVknlehmJ7kXqctopXbrV88X_t4-P--FqpiDifgaAq6JEALw_wcB

idk the exact specs on the stubby but the bits on that one make the overall driver longer in use which is counter productive

[rare ibex]

Doesn't the regular driver also have smaller bits? Shorter.

Replacement bits. Stubby bits.

[lyric abyss]

yes, but it CAN hold longer bits, and i think that's what he's upset about

[rare ibex]

I've seen the pictures, while you can, you lose half the slots from what I could see.

[lyric abyss]

yep from 12 to 6

but them using the same bits is yet another reason why I actually like the stubby design, it is as small as possible while keeping all utility

[rare ibex]

Yep. Only thing missing is now a precision screwdriver. I've stripped screws with the full size Megapro.

[open vapor]

Smaller driver, less space. Paranoia indeed.

[drowsy hawk]

Oh wtf. I was hoping there was more space so I can fit some Klein and Wera bits

[worn pine]

cut your bits in half. problem solved

[rare ibex]

$9.99 USD for shipping within Vancouver 😂

[drowsy hawk]

It's stupid. It costs $8 CAD for me to send a fucking 2kg parcel. Coquitlam to Abbotsford... Then again that a commercial parcel

[rare ibex]

They also fit in prepaid Canadapost envelopes too.

Though you can ship pens via regular mail.

[ember vault]

I kinda wish they'd put more on amazon, no offense to their distributor - but seriously a bottle on amazon is cheaper than from lttstore...

[rare ibex]

LTT is the distributor, I think lol.

[ember vault]

no it's warehouse/distribution is a different company; one of the old ncix people's business

[rare ibex]

Hmm.

[drowsy hawk]

Richmond to a residential Address on the other side of Metro Vancouver

$8 USD ish I assume LMG should be able to get better prices though

This is for a 9x9x3 box.

You can fit a lot of bits in there

[rare ibex]

They use a third party shipper it looks like. Wizmo?

[drowsy hawk]

But... I don't think shipping is under LMG's control ish... I think someone told me they use whatever the warehouse uses.

[unreal vector]

wizmo thinks vancouver is in the US lmao

[drowsy hawk]

I'm sure there is a cheaper way to ship stuff to addresses in the Lower Mainland.

[rare ibex]

Well like I said you can put the screwdriver bits in snail mail tbh at least for Canada.

[ember vault]

vancouver washington exists too don't forget

[unreal vector]

i've learned it existed thanks to wiszmo lmao

for some reason it doesn't think vancouver Canada makes more sense

[ember vault]

it probably only makes more sense to canadians, for them the usa addresses are probably more frequent by 10x the volume if not more

[drowsy hawk]

For local shipments? Yeah. For long distance ones? No cuz no tracking

Canada Post ain't reliable

Sometimes my mail shows up 5 months later

[rare ibex]

lol?

They usually good.

I hate UPS and FedEx for anything coming to Canada.

Brokerage fees are mad.

[ember vault]

i'm in love with fedex as of yesterday - literally overnighted my bambu printer to me 🙂

[drowsy hawk]

I love UPS and FedEx if stuff is declared under $20 CAD

[ember vault]

and delivered on saturday - that's like unpossible.

[rare ibex]

You bought it or won it at LTX?

[drowsy hawk]

I had a duty bill of like $7 lmfao. UPS was like... K $20. We want our brokerage also!

[ember vault]

bought it friday morning had it saturday before lunch

[drowsy hawk]

Make sure to check the Bambu printer.

I've seen people get it DOA. And well Bambu claims it's a unjustified RMA lmfao

[ember vault]

haha, oh it's been checked, still running constant since it arrived

[drowsy hawk]

FedEx Priority Overnight is fucking magic. I sent it out in the afternoon. It shows up in the morning the next day at the location

[ember vault]

This was just fedex ground regular... but richmond to abbotsford so...

[drowsy hawk]

Good to know Bambu has a warehouse at Richmond

Honestly Richmond to almost any address in the lower mainland should be 1 Day.

[ember vault]

dont tell that to ups, they can't even manage 2 weeks 😉

[rare ibex]

Local?

[delicate lynx]

ups said they'd come between 10:00 and 13:00, updated the shipping to next day and then 20 minutes later ring the doorbell

[ember vault]

still beats purolator... they just outright lie to you... "Hey guys, don't tell me your driver didn't just run up to the wrong lobby, slapped the "pickup at" sticker on the door, and ran away... We live in a world where every building has surveillance..."

[rare ibex]

Don't you mean. Rang door bell, no one at residence. Delivery rescheduled for tomorrow.

And you were home all day.

[ember vault]

our driver doesn't even try, runs up to the lobby with stickers, slaps on door (it's the other building's lobby, they know this) and runs away. every time.

[rare ibex]

lol

Probably too lazy or too much stuff to deliver, both I assume.

[ember vault]

every package they don't deliver and drop at the pickup location is less work... they are owned and run by canada posts union after all.

[rare ibex]

CanadaPost is sometimes even better. They mark your package for pickup at the PO, go there and it's not there.

[ember vault]

oh they don't end the day there - at least purolator does that, canada post seems to drop next day

[rare ibex]

Yeah, the problem is when they mark on the stupid paper, will be at the PO at end of day.

[drowsy hawk]

Purolator always seems to drop my shit there late

But when my customers want cheap shipping. It's an option lmfao

[drowsy hawk]

Naw. DHL is where it's at.
Oh you weren't at home! So go to the airport to pickup.

BRO I WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE ALL DAY. LOOKING OUT THE FRONT DOOR.

[rare ibex]

Hahaha

At least DHL you can say drop at front door.

[drowsy hawk]

I live almost an hour from the fucking Airport facility.

[drowsy hawk]

I did. Never showed up. Then when I called in to complain the next day DHL threw my $8000 package

[rare ibex]

lol

[drowsy hawk]

They chucked it

And it damaged it

Driver just drove off

DHL is the worst courier imo. Loomis Express and Canpar level crap

[rare ibex]

Loomis and Canpar same company now.

[drowsy hawk]

Well... And DHL owns them I think lmfao

[rare ibex]

T-force owns Loom & Canpar.

[drowsy hawk]

I use Canpar when they are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. Otherwise yeah fuck that

Lmfao they were $100 cheaper than UPS for something I was shipping

Oh wait... DHL and Loomis split up

[rare ibex]

Yeah a while back.

[subtle jetty]

What's the current update on the carabiners?

I haven't used these carabiners for their extended purpose and only as a zipper handle specifically to keep their lifespan, however they are now beginning to show signs of giving out soon

(This is in relation to the LTT backpack)

[unkempt seal]

they are in production and will be shipped out later this year. (people will receive a email first in case their address has changed)

[drowsy hawk]

@rare ibex I accidentally bought minty denture tablets.

Gg

[rare ibex]

lol

[drowsy hawk]

And I got it from Walmart so no return

[rare ibex]

The flavour doesn't stick around afaik.

[drowsy hawk]

Oh good

I guess that beneficial.

I put some electrolyte powder in my water bottle

Now it smells like ass

[rare ibex]

Ass might smell better 😂

[drowsy hawk]

LMFAO

[rare ibex]

Remember the smell of all the sweaty nerds at LTX.

[drowsy hawk]

I might register a non profit to sell deodorant at conventions.

[rare ibex]

Don't forget the toothbrushes/hygiene products for the BYOC.

Open 24/7 right?

[drowsy hawk]

Lmfao yes

The goal of the non profit will be to improve Gamer Health around the world

[rare burrow]

I have had my LTT backpack about a week and the carabiner is already broken

[verbal quail]

nope !

[drowsy hawk]

Mhmm... I wanna buy a carabineer...

[verbal quail]

hah

the backpack carabiners falling apart is so unfortunate

[rare burrow]

The worst part Is I’ve literally never attached anything to them

Literally just used them as a zipper pull and they’re already screwed

[verbal quail]

at least theyre coming up with replacements i suppose

[drowsy hawk]

LTT must be making bank

To be able to mail out replacement carabineers

[rare burrow]

I wouldn’t think so

r&d isn’t cheap

And this is a serious (potential) PR issue

[drowsy hawk]

Yes but... They must be making a good bit to not stop selling the backpacks until the carabineers come out

[rare burrow]

Letting the press come over publicly and having volumes of unanswered complaints with no solution is not the answer

And being upfront and honest is the best CX move you can possibly do

Id much rather a company tell me about a known defect rather than hope I don’t notice it

[verbal quail]

def agree

[rare burrow]

Like I’m really happy with how LMG is handling this

[drowsy hawk]

Well yeah. But if they aren't making much they wouldn't keep selling em because shipping out new parts cost a decent bit

[rare burrow]

As Linus said “a couple of bucks”

[drowsy hawk]

Certainly not. Unless they are using untracked postage I guess

[rare burrow]

It’s cheaper to use letter mail a max of 7 times

[drowsy hawk]

So yeah untracked postage.

[rare burrow]

Meter rates can be as low as 46 cents

[drowsy hawk]

Jeeez these denture tablets does some magic jeeez

[rare burrow]

For what?

[drowsy hawk]

To clean Waterbottle

[verbal quail]

bubble bubble

[drowsy hawk]

It got rid of most of the smell

The remaining smell is in the lid

Ill get a new lid I guess lol

[rare burrow]

Gonna try this with my Pokémon bottle

and ofc with my LTT Stealth water bottle, lttstore.com

[drowsy hawk]

Yeah. Grab some denture cleaners. If you have mineral deposits and crap in your Waterbottle or you've left it awhile and now it stinks. Fill up your water bottle with hot/warm water

Pop a denture tablet in. Let it sit for little bit. BAMN! It's clean

Coffee and Tea stains also

[rare burrow]

My water bottle is a daily driver

But we have 4 in our house

[drowsy hawk]

I have a Herschel, LTT Waterbottle, and a University of Alberta Waterbottle.

A few Buccees tumblers and a Hydroflask tumbler

Thankfully I live somewhere with soft water so I don't have to use these often

[rare burrow]

Ayy another fellow Canadian

[rare ibex]

Si. We the best.

[rare burrow]

LTX was a short bus ride away for me

despite being here in this server though, i'm a pretty common mac user

[drowsy hawk]

I'm a sky train away

[rare burrow]

OH HECK YEAh

surrey?

[drowsy hawk]

Coquitlam

[rare burrow]

Close enough

Abbotsford here

[drowsy hawk]

Big difference. We call Surrey browntown. It's like little India. Alot of my Indian friends and the great Indian food is there

[rare burrow]

Nah

[drowsy hawk]

Now i think about it... That nickname is a little racist

[rare burrow]

the good indian food is there

for the amazing indian food come to abbotsford

there's genuine competition the wohle time

[drowsy hawk]

Really?

[rare burrow]

yeah

places always have to fight to stay relevant because there's so much Indian food here

[drowsy hawk]

Lmfaooo

Denture Tablets... I wonder how many ways there are to clean a LTT Waterbottle

[rare burrow]

I use a brush and soap

[drowsy hawk]

I should get myself a bottle brush. My parents got a silicon one and it doesn't seem to clean as well

[rare burrow]

I have just a crappy dollarama brush

does the job

[rare ibex]

Regular bottle brush works well. Foam ones are crappy.

Just don't screw the top on tight when using tablets. Gas builds up.

[drowsy hawk]

Mhmm... I'll probably drop by the dollar store for a brush

[rare ibex]

$4.99 CAD

[drowsy hawk]

I think I've seen it at Dollarama

[rare ibex]

Probably like these.

I'd recommend one with a stiff handle and brushes.

[drowsy hawk]

Oh. In that case...

[rare ibex]

You can at least use it to keep Guide All people away.

[drowsy hawk]

Lmfao what?

[rare ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/stay-away-coronavirus-virus-stay-home-kid-gif-17209394

Yesterday, the guy asking for a guide about Linux or something.

[drowsy hawk]

We referencing the guy I told to fuck off yesterday? Lol

Lmfao

He DMed me after...

[rare ibex]

lol

[drowsy hawk]

Is this long enough for the 40oz?

[rare ibex]

Uh let me check the dimensions. Had one before for a year. Currently using a Costco special.

[drowsy hawk]

Oh? Costco sold some bottle cleaners?

[candid burrow]

Costco sells just about everything you would find in a Walmart, stuff you wouldn’t find in a Walmart, and tires+ car batterys

[rare ibex]

Yeah, off and on. Costco keeps rotating stock every 3-6 months. Don't think they got any at the moment.

[drowsy hawk]

Ooow

Good to know

[rare ibex]

33.28cm long for the Scotch-Brite. How deep/long is the 40oz? Derp, 30.5cm.

[drowsy hawk]

Mhmm... Might be a little rough scrubbing the bottom

[rare ibex]

Well that's the height. Probably 1-2cm difference on depth.

[final quest]

Daym some Domain seller claimed ltt-store + com

[drowsy hawk]

😂

Someone is gonna make some bank

[final quest]

Ye, sells for 5k.

Or trying to make some Bank...

Well okay i mean - its a gamble... If youd be to copy the ltt store site, and just not sell anything but literally scamming - it would just work most likely...

So id just say for now make sure you dont use a Dash in the URL, if something like that happens anytime - tho Chances are relatively low for 5k...

[rare ibex]

Ah, the good old days.

Back when accessing the internet from the computer lab. BritneySpears.com, mistype the URL and be treated to nudes.

Too bad search engines came along.

[fair aspen]

Stop complaining I live in the uk and it 100 dollars to ship the screwdriver with tac and shipping. There is much stuff with shipping but the more you add the higher the shipping costs. They need to use an other company to ship stuff

[drowsy hawk]

If it's $100 to ship... Jesus Christ

[fair aspen]

Overall

[drowsy hawk]

I doubt it... You sure you aren't factoring in taxes? Lol

[fair aspen]

Like screwdriver is 70

Then shipping is around 30

And then I have tac

Tax

It is not fare

Last time I had it shipped to someone I know in Canada and then they shipped it to me

[drowsy hawk]

Eh. I have taxes too... $20-30 is ass but sounds about right to ship a screwdriver to the UK. I've sent one over before

[fair aspen]

Nah

I found way cheaper prices

[drowsy hawk]

$20-30 CAD?

Or we talking USD

[fair aspen]

For even next day delivery

[drowsy hawk]

Or GBP

[fair aspen]

Usd

[drowsy hawk]

Ah...

[fair aspen]

Not cad

If it is cad it would not be as bad as Cad is weaker

[drowsy hawk]

Next day from Vancovuer to the UK? WTF?

[fair aspen]

It said next day i but I sought that I think it would end up being a few days

I did not try it but it is probably marketing

But that is what they said

I do not even live near an airport

[drowsy hawk]

Curious... Wtf in the UK are you... to get from Vancouver to the UK for less than $20-30 USD?

Btw same price if I switch the postal code to Creator Warehouse.

This is assuming I use the original box as the shipping box lol

[rare ibex]

Those discounted rates?

[fair aspen]

THis is from where i live to a random adress in vancouver

this is like 16usd

there are cheaper options

[drowsy hawk]

Oh...

We talking about the cheap shitty services...

I can send a screwdriver by itself for $10.84 CAD to the UK.

Isn't it like $10 to a place near Vancouver...

Why the fuck don't you just pay for it directly lol

[fair aspen]

No no no this is like what big cmpanies use

It is well known in the uk

[drowsy hawk]

I'm using whatever big companies here in Canada use

Keep in mind these cheap services. If they don't deliver it. It gets disposed of

It doesn't get returned to the sender.

[fair aspen]

nah this is like what the big ompaneis use it is like well known here

Still i do not know why it is more expenisve for canada to the uk than uk to canada

[drowsy hawk]

Aren't they also rated poorly? 😂 I mean you can get stuff sent cheaply around the world. Reaching the customer is the other question

[drowsy hawk]

It's 10.84 CAD with the crappy service I got here.

[fair aspen]

It is not crappy

https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.evri.com

Many companies in the uk use them

[drowsy hawk]

Anyways. Yes LMG can get cheaper shipping to the UK

But are they? Naw very unlikely due to the cost of changing everything

[fair aspen]

I just had to follow through

[rare ibex]

Are you gonna run a shipping forwarding booth too at LTX? 🤔

[drowsy hawk]

Lmfao. Hell no
