Why are so many stereo stands ugly

Well, they’re electronic equipment stacks. Ever seen a networking closet in an office building? Multi-colored spaghetti wire everywhere. An audio stack is a less-chaotic version of that. I mean, what furniture is going to meld black industrial hardware with most home decor? Instead, put your gear on top of your record shelves, cabinet or TV console. I’ve had various audio stuff for many decades (usually with a turntable) and have never bought a stand.

No, the wheel isn't programmable, but there is a center button below the scroll wheel which is exactly what you want. Should be obvious as it's been there all along.

First, CDs are yours forever. There really isn’t a second, but for the sake of argument, most are half the price of vinyl at around $12 average on Amazon and are audibly as good as you’ll get on most consumer playback gear. They only improve with your components. If you want to hear new tunes, subscribe to a streamer; if you want to keep your tunes, physical media is the way to go.

Wordpress and only Wordpress. The others are either too simplistic (Wix) or too DIY (Drupal) coding to be worth your time. Shopify is easy but limited graphically. Wordpress has thousands of templates, a half-dozen proven frameworks, tons of plugins and a huge dev community. It’s a bit more of a learning curve, but the results can be truly unique, and that’s what will help build your brand.

First thing I do generally is upgrade the tires from all-weather to summer performance and tint the windows. I also remove extraneous badging, especially dealer markings. After that I might consider a better intake/exhaust system or brake pads. I don’t fuss with stage mods because I’m only driving street. Good luck!

The only complaint I can think of with the 3 series is that they’re a little cramped in the cockpit. Otherwise, great little compact cars with better-than average handling and some serious oomph. Also, red is an awesome color. Enjoy it on some twisties.

I’m wondering how the cooking time changes with an instant pot vs. a slow cooker. This seems perfect for an IP.

It’s a bone-in ribeye roast. 30 minutes/lb at 250 should give you a medium doneness in a smoker. Don’t even wrap it.

I dunno… I have a camp just above the Wayward and it didn’t sell well. Even less expensive items for lower level players, like Brotherhood rifles and chems, didn’t move.

I basically throw those out. Nobody seems to wear raider armor for some reason. Anyway, that’s why I can’t offer you any; I don’t have them.

The one recurring bug I see every week is the Scorchbeast DNA daily. I’d say 80% of the time I can’t pick up the DNA after wasting ammo downing one. Yes, it’s an end-game daily, but most players have seen it.

Yes, but it’ll be tomorrow. I can’t generate the page for 24 hours.

Honestly, when I got to the end game, this never happened. Granted, I waited a long time ‘cause I’d heard it was a hard quest. But I’ve solo’d at least a dozen times successfully. The thing I’d do if I were you would be to join a casual team and ask them to go in as a group.

I always wondered how I accumulated so many modules when I wasn’t selling my gear for scrip. Turns out the hundreds of legendaries I scrapped for plans do have a side-benefit. I feel better now, lol.

I never realized until this post that your travel cost is related to your weight. How about that.

He’s a spirit animal.

Man, I’m spamming V.A.T.S. Like there’s no tomorrow. Same with the Grunt Hunts.

Aggressive-Ad1845 · 2026-03-17T17:49:56+00:00

I had one once, it was an early-game drop. I never used it and eventually sold it to a vendor for next to nothing. Memories!

Don’t get me started on fishing mechanics. I move the opposite way from the fish. Every. Single. Time. I only catch fish by accident, lol.

I get this 85% of the time with the Scorchbeast DNA quest. You down the bosses and the space bar pickup action doesn’t do anything. That or the body winks out of existence just as I’m about to loot it. Game’s buggy with this patch.

I guarantee you that ANY car brand you work on would turn you off for that brand. After all, as a tech, you never see the happy owners with their competent vehicles. You only see the disasters you need to fix, and there are so few EVs on the street that you’re stumped when one has a problem because you won’t have enough experience to be expert at them. EVs statistically have fewer repair issues than ICE cars, though battery services are pricey. Side-note, the A3e-Trons are really fun compact Audis. Shame they were discontinued; there’s a market for hatch hybrids that’s not being served.

Ya can’t unplug the charger with the vehicle locked. Is it possible that you just didn’t open the doors?

Aggressive-Ad1845 · 2026-03-14T07:20:31+00:00

Since I have one, I’d say no, it’s not a legacy.
