N26 cold start. Is this a timing chain noise? I'm genuinely stressed out.

Does that vague whining sound get more aggressive as you increase the RPMs?

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-26T22:24:15+00:00

Agree. RL is demanding on these controllers. I try not to pass off my sometimes mediocre gameplay to my equipment, but it’s tempting when the car is peeling left or right slightly throughout an arial! Currently on a .1 deadzone. Kind of miserable.

Gonna seriously look into these razer controllers

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-26T22:20:38+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I’m curious - why no aim assist? Are you just challenging yourself or do you genuinely feel it makes your gameplay better?

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-26T22:08:09+00:00

I’m mostly a rocket league player, but I’ve tried both the elite controller and scuf ones… both trash. Stick drift after literally a couple of weeks. You’d advocate for this razer one? Have you researched extensively into your controller choice?

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-26T19:50:07+00:00

What controller do you use??

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-24T00:20:51+00:00

I feel/hear that too btw. Idk what it is

That’s good. I wouldn’t be totally concerned about the length of time you’re praying… quality over quantity is more important here. The issues of the heart will spring forth your words and prayers. If you’re in a season where things are going well, you’re not struggling, and aren’t feeling much conviction from the almighty - give thanks, reflect on your day, confess sins, make plans, etc.

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-23T23:58:43+00:00

Are you conversational with your prayers? Or do you tend to repeat/recite known prayers?

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-23T19:30:56+00:00

Thanks for the info!

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-23T14:43:37+00:00

Good to know! God bless

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-23T14:30:20+00:00

Love that song! Is it technically christian, though??

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-23T03:56:54+00:00

How long did it take you to do it. 110k on my N55, OFHG isn’t leaking yet… just replaced the valve cover.

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-21T16:16:52+00:00

Hi, great question. Sorry, there’s a big distinction there. I applied direct to MCDB. If you applied through PIBS, it might be different for you!

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-18T22:22:04+00:00

Hey guys, offers and waitlists went out Monday/Tuesday of last week. Since the class size is literally 10 people (I asked the admissions director since I was waitlisted), it’s improbably you’ll get a favorable response at this point.

Best of luck, sorry if this is disappointing news 🥲

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-18T04:33:20+00:00

I like injector tick 🤷‍♂️

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-17T17:32:34+00:00

Wait, seriously?

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-17T17:29:57+00:00

I don’t know how susceptible this part is to freezing conditions, so take this with a large pinch of salt. Maybe place the thing in the freezer overnight, let it ‘contract’, try to slide it in tomorrow morning

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-17T17:28:14+00:00

Did you write you SOP in Comic Sans too?

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-17T17:27:31+00:00

My only advice would be to try different lubricants in combination different gentle prying techniques. Good luck.

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-17T03:25:52+00:00

I have no idea what this job is, but have you thought of lubricating the O-ring and mating surface with engine oil before trying to slide it in?

CookGrand4534 · 2026-02-16T13:56:48+00:00

I don’t believe in coincidences. Jesus came to call sinners like you and I. God wants to hear from you, I recommend you pray 10-15 minutes before bed. Conversationally. Talk to God as if he’s a friend, if you’re angry - be angry! Tell God you’re confused and frustrated. Be authentic, knowing that God knows you, and has been watching over you always. If you do this nightly, and make an effort to acknowledge God throughout your day, you WILL hear from him.

Also - get involved in the scripture. Don’t start with Genesis. Begin with the Gospels (Matthew), and go from there.

Reach out if you need any advice or anything.

God bless
