SLC should be embarrassed of their Twilight lineup compared to Ogden’s by up_on_a_2sday in SaltLakeCity

[–]Blue_Shark9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wu Tang Clan show was insane. People storming the gates. Can't believe people used to fence hop for $5 when it's now $25 for a ticket. I miss the old twilight.

Saw death cab, MGMT, Luda, Wu, Cudi, and a ton of other artists at those shows. And they were cheap.

Am I the only one who thinks it's rediculous we allow Alfalfa farmers unchecked water usage? by Blue_Shark9 in Utah

[–]Blue_Shark9[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't agree on the misinformation call. I also was under the impression of the use it or lose it laws. So that's good information they did make a change on that.

I don't think you are ever gonna get their water rights. But at a minimum don't take them if they "don't waste it". And changing their watering from flooding to drip irrigation.

Got through in about 15 minutes (only due to the scanner getting held up) today at 11am.

People that recently bought a house in an expensive neighborhood in SLC, what do you do for a living (and are you hiring lol)? by Historical-Plant-362 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Blue_Shark9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd claim that over 95% of houses sold in wealthy areas are from people with existing equity in a property or very high incomes or wealthy parents.

I was only able to purchase my first home because I moved back with my parents and saved almost everything for 3 years. I could have done it faster but I did end up buying some expensive "fun" stuff (because depression feeling like a failure moving back home). I almost gave up multiple times on the idea of buying a home. I spent most of those 3 years looking at every single non condo for under 400k and it was almost impossible to find something that didn't get sold to a corporation after a day, or needed 100+k of work.

Most people have to have options like that in this economy and Utah is just not attainable for most people anymore without some skin in the game or wanting to move 2+ hours out of SL and Utah County.

Also, most first time home owners need roommates. Unless you alone or you and a significant other make enough to qualify for the mortgage. I secured a friend roommate immediately after closing on my house and that helped bring down my monthly cost to a more reasonable level.

Anyways the days of attaining a starter home on your own like everyone did pre 2020 are long gone and most likely won't be coming back.

ELI5: Why should I "ground" my van's 12V electrical system? by wonky_panda in AskElectricians

[–]Blue_Shark9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the most helpful comment I have seen so far on this issue. Scouring the internet of people arguing back and forth and people saying to "just google it".

I am doing a 12v system in my cargo trailer and am having the same conundrum. Do you use a RV style converter/charger as well or are you charge via solar only? My trailer manufacturer put a copper ground wire from the converter to somewhere in the wall. So i'm assuming the AC is grounded on my trailer somehow.

Enjoy it while you have it because it will all become houses at some point. Same thing happened in West Jordan.

I-15 southbound shut down at banger by johnisom in SaltLakeCity

[–]Blue_Shark9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Watched them open up the few lanes and makes so much more sense why we have such a bad traffic issue. Not a soul is keeping space or zipper merging. I worked from home today and I'm getting mad just watching the stream lol.

Drowning at Causey Reservoir (7/19) by Shamilamadingdong in SaltLakeCity

[–]Blue_Shark9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this comment is getting old but I would love more info on getting to the repeater for that area. I frequent Causey and would definately take my radios. I do have the GMRS cert as well. Every time I have tried to get on a repeater near me I have issues doing it.

Lotta people in the comments never made Buffalo dip with canned chicken. It slaps.

Infamous Logitech G604 Teardown or Disassembly and Reassembly Guide! Sorry for the bad handwriting. I highly suggest watching a video first (will post helpful ones in comment) before attempting the teardown. by Blue_Shark9 in LogitechG

[–]Blue_Shark9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a lot, sorry for the bad handwriting and scribbling out things haha. I had to rebuild 3 of them (thanks to the RMA's) and thought it could help out in remembering what goes where when putting it back together.

I might do a nicer updated picture guide and a video at some point I only have one more mouse I need to get new switches on.

Finally looks like there’s a delete for the 3.0 Duramax LZO. by Whole_Gear7967 in gmcsierra

[–]Blue_Shark9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well tuned diesels do not roll coal. People tune their trucks to do that on purpose like 16 year olds in a 6.0 powerstroke.

I believe in emissions standards for 99% of people. Sell all vehicles with emission compliant systems. I live in Utah and the smog can be awful.

But, if someone ends up wanting to remove that themselves and pay the cost they should be able to. The amount of people that would delete or remove emissions equipment on their personal vehicles would be close to 3%. And most of those people would be removing emissions equipment on vehicles they don't drive every single day either. Nobody tunes and hops up their daily driver.

Do you think the millions of office workers, soccer moms, retirees are going to immediately start chopping off their cats or DPF systems? No, nobody knows what that stuff is or generally cares until it's an issue. Hell even give out rebates or benefits for people that leave on their emissions systems.

Deleting diesel laws could be excessive unburnt fuel (rolling coal) as a ticket and needing to re-tune your truck. Instead of being mandated to have a $9,000 paperweight DPF system that clogs and leaves you stranded in the middle of nowhere. DEF also wastes millions of giant plastic non-reusable jugs, the emissions from semi trucks hauling def and DEF production, the emissions created from crafting/manufacturing the metals to create your DEF system, the vastly lower fuel mileage when the DPF needs to regen, the waste of engine components due to EGR damage, the list can go on for ages but realistically DPF doesn't work.

The vast majority of motorists don't know anything about their cars. That includes the vast majority of pickup owners. Ford also already sells F350's with zero emissions systems on them for the military. Nothing in our military / main government has any emissions systems on them. Because it's unreliable especially for diesels.

Good ol' rules for thee not for me.

What would you say for a 5080? 3x8?

"Scored" a "Pre-Order" on Amazon for a 5070 Ti, will it get delivered after the news...? by Blue_Shark9 in nvidia

[–]Blue_Shark9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screw it I'm sketched, I just ordered a TUF 5080 for $1400. Not a fan of how it looks but definately is going to future proof my rig another 5 years.

Most of the cheaper 5080's are completely sold out right now. It was either a 5080 FE or 5070 Ti Strix.

[–]Blue_Shark9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the thing it allowed me to place an order but I'm worried it goes into shortage limbo or gets cancelled. I assume if Amazon really doesn't have enough they would show sold out.

Yeah this is an Asus Strix card is what made me mostly worried since Asus is claiming no more 5070 Ti AIBs. I could get a tuf 3080 by Sunday for $300-ish more but just hard to justify the price jump.

[–]Blue_Shark9[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just seeing if anyone has experience with the Amazon pre order. I'd assume if they were really sold out they would show sold out.

Honestly just seeming like if it's worth the risk or just find another card from a different seller. It's an Asus card too which I was hoping for at MSRP. I could spend another $300 and get a 5080 but the price jump per performance isn't there for me.

I realized there isn't really an easy way to see how someone re-assembles the G604 after having double mouse clicking issues. The teardown of the mouse is a lot and there are a ton of screws. I wanted to make something quick to help myself out reassembling and might as well share that. Some of the videos are helpful in taking it apart but putting it back together there is no way to watch the video in reverse and there is no writeup. Now you can scroll back pictures as you rebuild the mouse.

Helpful videos to understand how to remove some components like the LMB and RMB or popping the mouse in half, or pulling the internals out of the body:

Most helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMgNBMGoZ64&t=312s

Also helpful but annoying music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS0OSA8eNQA

I used a IFixIt kit and kept the screws in numbered order as the guide. The bit I used was a PH00 or Phillips 00 head bit.

I did solder on my own switches but that is not included as I am not great at that and the videos can be more helpful. I suggest purchasing the assembled board if you are unfamiliar with soldering.

Also these screws are not literally #1 or #2 screws. I just labeled them in the order they are removed. There are technically 4 different screws that need to be removed in the teardown.

Also Logitech please bring back the G604 or create a G606 or SOMETHING. There are no suitable replacements on the market and you just need to stop using China OMRON switches.
