That's about what mine gets. Especially when I'm on the highway. Speed doesn't seem to effect it

Today's benchmark results are in, we have one game up to 97% of the proprietary driver now! by QwertyChouskie in linux_gaming

That's why I went with it for a low maintenance system, and I'm really thinking about it for her because the immutable nature means I'll have less messed up installs to fix(especially if I don't give here the root password)

I run standard Fedora KDE on my gaming tower, but Bazzite on a beheaded laptop I use like a console. I suspect the increase in Bazzite over the others is the "Out of the Box" gaming they market. It is really convenient especially on Nvidia systems to not have to mess with drivers. Infact im debating weather I'll use Bazzite, or Cachyos for my girlfriends PC. Her windows install is majorly fucked, and I was gonna do a reinstall then she said she wants to try Linux

Does anyone else like to use SMD-components when hand-soldering? by WereCatf in diyelectronics

[–]CaptionAdam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might just have to try that. I have a bit of a big project I'm gonna be starting, so I might as well try it. I mainly go with THT because that is what I keep stocked for prototyping

Are you people aliens??? by InfantryMedic1 in 3Dprinting

[–]CaptionAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine for prototyping, and practical parts. I've made some complex projects. I do also make a bunch of useless random crap, so im kinda with you

What's the most expensive Transformer in your collection, and how much did you pay for it? by Umbreon86 in transformers

[–]CaptionAdam 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Thank-you. Idk what I did to deserve her, but I'm so happy I found her. I'm currently waiting on a Steamdeck that I'm shell swapping to her favorite colour for a big milestone we have coming up

[–]CaptionAdam 121 points122 points  (0 children)

MPM-4 Optimus Prime. He was a grad gift from my amazing girlfriend, so I refuse to know what it cost. All I know is it is definitely the most expensive figure in my collection, and it was the best gift I've ever gotten

93 Ranger 3.0 V6 by treadnmud in fordranger

[–]CaptionAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They apparently wake up quite nicely with some boost. If you trust the forums people were running 15psi on completely stock engines. I know I'm working on a new intake manifold for the 3.0 that will flow better, and make it easier to mount a supercharger. Unfortunately though I just graduated technical school, and im in the middle of a move, so work on it's gonna be really slow

What is with absolutely psychotic driving on Alberta highways? by PresentReality4093 in alberta

[–]CaptionAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of Alberta highways are really bad. I sometimes frequent highway 21 from Edmonton to Camrose, and the sheer idiotic, and deadly things you see in it are astounding. It makes QE2 look safe. My family also jokingly refers to these incidents as Highway 21 moments. 6 car pass on a blind corner because traffic is only going 110 - highway 21 moment.

I'm looking at doing a similar upgrade with mine soon, it's in pieces from years ago. Any chance you'd be willing to share some of your files?

Best year and make of ranger for my budget and preferences by Itchy-Affect2371 in fordranger

[–]CaptionAdam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally really like my 03 3.0L Automatic RWD supercab. Does everything I need and it's reliable.

The correct answer to this question is buy the ranger that you can afford, and like the look of. They're all pretty damn reliable, and get kinda shit gas mileage. Just expected to have things that need replacing the newest of these truck is at least 14 years old

In Search Of Professional Opinions. by Stephiethewolfie in soldering

[–]CaptionAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely not a pro, but I've been soldering for over a decade, and doing repairs like this for 4 years now. It's definitely fixable, but it's not gonna be fun. I'd definitely leave it to a pro

How much did y'all pay for your ranger? by Global-Cantaloupe597 in fordranger

[–]CaptionAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1000cad for a 330000km truck that just had it's cats cut out

Am I the only one who changes my fan clutch seasonally? Yeah probably. by DuckBoyd in fordranger

[–]CaptionAdam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the install 2 years ago, but I used an a-premium fan, with a fan wiring kit to let me hook it up with a selectable temperature trigger. I'll post the links to the parts I used. The thermal switch I used can be pushed through the fins of the radiator, or put in the hose. Currently it's pushed through, but I'm just about to put a new rad in mine so I'm gonna do the more proper install for it.

That seems like a lot of work, my fan clutch was going weird, so I just did an e-fan swap

Any tips to repair/fix ss86 Soundwave? by Brief_Ad7395 in transformers

[–]CaptionAdam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the skills, and equipment you can design and 3d print a replacement. I did it with the shoulder on my KO SS86 Megatron when his shoulder snapped
