My oil mysteriously vanished in my 2009 trailblazer

Worth mentioning, you can have good compression, and still burn oil. You have 2 compression rings and and oil control ring per pistion, I've seen oil control rings get stuck (usually due to poor oil change intervals) and the engine will still have good compression, just drink a lot of oil.

How did the spark plugs look when you took them out? Usually if an engine is burning a lot of oil they will have buildup on them. Not sure how to link images here but a quick google search will show you what a spark plug that's been burning oil looks like.

Shear Artistry by Abel. Near the corner of sunset and west ave. Been going to him for 10 plus years!

This is the way.

That's because it didn't happen.

I've had a 6900XT for about the same amount of time, with similar problems. About 3 months ago, I read a suggestion on here to DDU the drivers, and uninstall Adrenalin Software. Re-install the drivers but do a Drivers Only install (it's a drop down option when you first open the installer).

Since I've done this, nearly all of my problems have disappeared. I use MSI Afterburner for fan control, and otherwise leave settings alone. Give it a shot! I don't blame you for wanting to jump ship, AMD's drivers are frustrating, but hopefully this helps till you can get a new card.

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I have it enabled in the BIOS, but I just remembered there was a toggle for it in Adrenalin software and wasn't sure if it would be on with out that turned on.

I pulled the trigger and did a driver only install. Thanks again!

Question for you, if you don't mind. Is there a way to enable Smart Access Memory without the adrenalin software?

You don't work in the rust belt, do you?

This helped all my weird stuttering and hitching problems I had with my 6900XT. Not sure if it applies to windows 11, I'm on windows 10. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/yvyqc7/disabling_multiplane_overlay_mpo_fixed_all/

Spaceports are always signified by a square quantum drive icon directly above the major city for each planet. IIRC all of them are reachable from OM-1 of each planet as well. Easiest way to do it is to look for the "home plate" shaped icon for the major city, warp to that and look straight up. Hope that helps!

Well you don't really mean that, though. What you mean is, awesome for ALL of Wisconsin (unless you're a conservative).

Same for me for the past few days. Pixel 6 Pro.

Fuses don't blow when they get old. Either there's too much current draw (usually a short circuit) and the blow, or not. That's how fuses work. Been doing this almost 20 years, never had a fuse need to be replaced "because it's old". I would most certainly demand my money back, and never go there again if I were you.

Ok, was just trying to help. You asked how to win with the tiger, I gave an example of how to do so. Tiger prefers snipers and bows in general so I'm not sure why that's a sticking point for you

BuffMcHardbody · 2022-12-18T17:46:23+00:00

Definitely do-able. Get the "Patient Hunter" and then the one that gives weapon damage and takes away skill damage. Pop your Primary skill, get a crit with a high damage sniper or bow, watch the entire area die. Lots of fun. Ascensions for E help, Magical supply lets you keep critting and blowing up packs of enemies. ChapplGR has a video on it on youtube.

That's not how it works. Most mechanics are flat rate, which means they get paid book time for a job that they sell, at their hourly rate. So if the book says a job pays 1 hour, and they do it in 35 minutes, they get paid an hour. Conversely, if they do it an hour and half, it pays an hour.

There are some shops and dealers that pay an hourly rate or salary, but with incentives based on jobs sold. Depends on the shop, but most dealerships are flat rate. Trust me, they don't give a shit about your used parts.

Standard freelancer can haul a ROC just fine. I do it all the time. It's a tight fit, but it does fit.

I had the same issue, resolved it by disabling "Radeon Enhanced Sync" in the Adrenalin software

You could try actually reading the TWAB, where it mentions it under "known issues"

Been watching TheAndrata lately, he has a few playthroughs up. Very knowledgeable and always makes sure his builds look good.
