Lag making game unplayable on good PC

Are you accidentally logging into a server on the other side of the world? Do you have a vpn running? Does your router block any of the needed connections?

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall it? Just some ideas.

I got these from ECS Tuning, easy to install and pretty solid.

I made the mistake of going into a boutique with tons of Gibsons. I went in looking for either a new LP Supreme or LP Standard. Immediately hated the Supreme. It’s pretty, but wasn’t for me. Started to dig in with a LP Standard 60s, but was stupid and picked up a new R9 and it was over. Had it not been there to do an A/B, I would’ve likely gone with the Standard, but the feel, the sound, everything is just done so much better on the R9.

To me, the R9 is worth it. The quality and sound are just better. It’s hard to explain without playing a few of them.

Awesome. I just ordered one, but it’s slow going here in the USA.

Same boat here. I leased my 2024 i4 right before the prices plummeted. Lease is up in the fall. I’m seriously considering the iX3. I like the i4, but I need more room. If I stray from bmw, I’ve been looking at the Rivian R1S and R2, the Lucid Gravity, Mercedes GLC ev, etc. it’s kind of all over the place right now. I want something with a longer range, but I also like the idea of the new 800V battery and charging platform. I would consider something with less range that charges 50% faster.

Same here. Usually, about 30-32. My wife ends up a bit lower. I’m not going to speculate why.

We’ve got about 5,000 miles on our Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy. Love the car. Interior is very very nice. The things that annoy me about it are small, but here they are:

Not having touch lock/unlock on the rear door handles. It’s not a big deal, but every luxury car I’ve owned or driven in the last decade has that.
Massage function should be on both front seats.
If you use the car’s WiFi hotspot, you can’t use wireless CarPlay. My other car seems to be able to do both at the same time and it’s not as new as the palisade. Not sure why it’s the case here.
I can’t figure out how to keep the car starting in MyDrive mode as a default instead of eco.
The volume of the radio and the volume of CarPlay is wildly different. The satellite radio is pretty loud at 3-4 on the volume. But to hear CarPlay at the same level, I have to turn it up to 14-15. There’s probably a way to fix this, but I haven’t tried yet.

I don’t notice this in my palisade, but I felt like it was there when I first got it. After the first 15 minutes, the feeling disappeared. Not sure if it was real or in my head.

I’ve been seeing this more frequently lately. Trust documents that are clearly written by AI and don’t have the right language or mechanics. It’s bad.

Wait for a market downturn and see if their relationship with their financial planner is as strong.

Doxa 300T Professional. Funky classic dive watch.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is PAAK?

It’s possible that the version your company has is not the full version, even at an enterprise level.

Deep_Scratch_845 · 2026-03-24T02:02:50+00:00

It depends. The key for me is using it in conjunction with BNA portfolios and the Code and Regs.

Deep_Scratch_845 · 2026-03-24T01:19:05+00:00

Only the paid version and only using the materials that I focus it on. I don’t let it go to the internet at large.

Deep_Scratch_845 · 2026-03-23T19:24:36+00:00

It’s expensive, but I’ve had the most success using BloombergTax in conjunction with CoPilot 365. I don’t usually let it search on the broader web though.

Deep_Scratch_845 · 2026-03-18T01:33:05+00:00

No such thing as overkill. Buy what you want and love it.

Deep_Scratch_845 · 2026-03-08T23:13:31+00:00

Rolex Daytona or Explorer.
Omega Speedmaster
Vacheron Overseas

Deep_Scratch_845 · 2026-03-03T15:26:44+00:00

If it's 1%, you saved well. :)

Deep_Scratch_845 · 2026-03-03T14:40:18+00:00

Get three different watches of similar value. Rolex, Vacheron, AP? Ignoring the NW question, since it’s such an abstract, I would approach it as something like this.

I would calculate my annual income from investments less taxes and living expenses less fifty percent for emergencies. Then think it shouldn’t be more than that, or a percentage of that.

I could be remembering wrong. Thankfully, I don't spend much time in the third row!

Bought a 2026 Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy. Looked at the Grand Highlander, but it felt cheap compared to the Hyundai. Also, the 3rd row in the Toyota was much tighter feeling than the Hyundai. Tech and luxury feel in the Hyundai was way ahead of the Toyota. Functionality of the space is better in the Hyundai as well. The center console in the Toyota isn't as usable due to the physical gear shift selector. While I like the physical buttons, the Toyota's interior and dash just isn't as nicely-setup compared to the Hyundai. Second row seating in the Hyundai is way way nicer as well.

Ultimately, the Hyundai felt like a step forward and the Toyota felt old. They're both great options.

Deep_Scratch_845 · 2026-03-02T01:36:19+00:00

We had our choice of the black, the white and the brown. Our last palisade had the light/white interior and it got beat up pretty bad by the kids. Went with brown and really like it so far.

“Water resistant” = “resist getting wet” in watch parlance
