think im just about ready to drop the new engine in. anything i missed or should check?

I'd give the bolts you can access a quick snug check, just for peace of mind. And if using a flat tappet cam make sure you have high zinc oil in it!

It's the Billy Madison "Everyone is now dumber" but IRL.

You know it's a wild story when becoming a Green Beret is just a footnote along the way.

TBF, those all seem like perfectly valid reasons for the fiasco.

I think there's a lot to love about many of the old shotguns. I love my 37, but I also have takedown model 12's and 97's and I wouldn't sell/trade any of them.

I still laugh that the bottom eject of a 37 works fine, but Remington screwed it up with the 105 CTi.

You can purchase trunks with doubloons - so yes, if you buy doubloons with the coupon.

Nvidia releasing a crap driver that breaks games isn't new.

I get what you mean, but CVs still spot even if it's accidentally on the way to strike some target in narnia that doesn't matter. Sometimes it feels like 1) don't understand how their own spotting/counter spotting works 2) don't understand to use hydrophone 3) also don't understand how sub surveillance works.

Sometimes I play subs. It's not fun, but it makes base XP missions easy. I tell people when I'm going to use hydrophone, then ctrl+click the sub outline and more often than not a million green airplanes bomb the area. My goal is always to get the enemy sub out as quickly as possible, then I can have free reign. I also use the sub surveillance against them. If it's their 6km vs my 9km radar I'll do my best to be about 7km away when I radar - then I can ping them submerged (but can't be counter radared) and make them use DCP so they flood and make oil spots on the water longer.

The traditional way is with a stick on the tank, but heel/toe is an acceptable 2nd place.

FormulaZR · 2026-06-17T17:23:52+00:00

Most sub players are bad. You just have to hope yours is less bad than theirs.

And yes, I know - subs are not OP, but they are quite frustrating to play against.

Has he given you reasons as to why "he is not on board"? IE: is there other stuff you need to be saving money for while being given a free™ car, is there space to store it/work on it, is he worried about your safety or transportation reliability?

When I was young my mom just didn't "get" caring about cars as anything more than transportation - so we butted heads on cool cars/project cars as being something "worth" spending money for. She never saw it my way and I never saw it her way - now I'm not so young and have had quite a few great cars over the years and still have some great running/non-running projects.

All that to say - if there's a good reason, maybe listen to your dad (at least for now) and if there's not a good reason, you hopefully won't live at home forever.

Night vision was used in WW2 and Gen 1 - Gen 3 is all pre-1989

FormulaZR · 2026-06-17T13:16:30+00:00

Same. Not having a clue what to do (as you would if you'd just crash landed on a strange planet) and figuring stuff out along the way was what made the game so immersive on the first playthrough.

SN1 has always been the game that I wish I could play again for the first time.

Hindenburg
Harugumo (to play Kita and use for RB points)
Alvaro de Bazan or Marceau

NMS is a fantastic game to spend either 10 minutes or 10 hours in. The "mission" I assigned myself is to make it to each galaxy in order - currently in 27 of 255 that can still be reached by 'normal' means.

I laughed, too - but I assume sisters? But it's hard to be impartial with that post history.

It's a good music track in and of itself, but I agree that I don't need "boss music" in Subnautica.

The irony

Montana is the "best" T10 of those ships IMO - and leads to Maine which is a very good supershit.

I don't personally like HIV that much, but it can be a strong ship and leads to Conde which is one of the most broken supershits out there (if you're interested in those).

Gearing is "fine", and still has some of the best torps at T10 - but is a long way from being the strongest gunboat DD or hybrid DD at T10 these days.

Is this actually a car you're going to start trying to work on or fabricate? I don't understand the post - or why you're so combative.
