@glock43xx @becky_s5 @GovernorTomWolf That was actually the idea behind minimum wage when it was introduced. That it was the bare minimum needed to support a family.

@globol @Optimus_WC Thank you

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@Enigma13371 @Optimus_WC I'm not happy about the delays and stuff either but this is a gorgeous looking block.

Life360 was part of the companies that claimed Apple’s prompt asking for location access was anti-competitive. They also just acquired Tile (who signed the same letter).

Turns out, they were selling your location data to third parties:

@Mavericksyao @globol @Huseyinbaykal @Optimus_WC The instructions mentioned making sure to not over-tighten screws - that it will definitely cause PCB bending issues. Is it possible that's what happened here?

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@McLeanPm @Optimus_WC Mine was 5300. Nothing yet.

@Mavericksyao @LudaconOfficial @Optimus_WC By deleting your comment the entire thread disappears except for those who already commented. It would been better to just add some comments that they are finally shipping. Your subject line was perhaps overly harsh but I think it provided good feedback for Optimus and others.

@st_christofas @Mavericksyao @Optimus_WC It hasn't been the most pleasant customer service experience. I'm starting to feel like I backed a kickstarter instead of doing a pre-order with an established company.

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@jamestiller @Apollo_1321 @AMDIntellectual @Optimus_WC I'm with you. It's almost December, now, and Optimus hasn't responded to anything here in weeks.

They make a great product, but considering how much money we all have laid out better communication would be nice.

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@Optimus_WC any updates on the ship times for KPE blocks?

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@Mavericksyao @Optimus_WC and low and behold, no updates on Twitter or via email... and I ordered within about an hour or so after they went live.

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@Mavericksyao @Optimus_WC They've claimed they'd ship in a week for a while. I'll believe it when my order updates

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@Optimus_WC Any updates on shipping times?

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@McLeanPm @Enigma13371 @Optimus_WC In his defense they did claim shipping a few weeks ago...

Good news! The final parts are arriving today, we're machining this weekend and doing QC and assembly next week, so first blocks should start shipping end of next week! Thank you for hanging in there, we're really proud of these blocks and can't wait to see your builds!!

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@ryeinn @TheWheelOfTime I also never saw Philly and I've checked back multiple times

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@McLeanPm @ModSherpa @Optimus_WC You're operating on the assumption that the loop and space on their build allows for them to make the hybrid a part of it... and not only was the HC Block hard to get your hands on its generally considered sub-par

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@StachuDotNet Lol. If you dodged the bullet of having to work with it be glad.

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@Optimus_WC This looks absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to have it in hand. Any updates on the shipping timeline?

[Ron DeFreitas @RonDeFreitas]

@shibaa_token I'd hold and buy even more
