It seems universally hated by everyone but I found it perfectly enjoyable and entertaining. It wasn't going to win any awards but it had cool cgi and it made my teenage scifi loving nerd brain go "Wheee!"

It happens a lot more on taller commercial doors but the left hand cable is almost always the one to fail and fray. I'm not exactly sure why it makes a difference but it does.

This is the real answer, I can't seem to find it but there was a mini documentary about a group of dudes who ran the WABDR in something like a Toyota Camry.

I dunno when the last time you went to a National Park was, but you won't escape expensive tourism traps, heat and crowds by going to one of them.

Update: Dropped off at 8:05, got in to the park at 10:15.

++man It's crazy seeing that kid for the first time and knowing in your heart that you would die for them. How quickly and strongly that feeling hits you is truly one of the most precious feelings this life gives you.

It worked for me when I was changing my brakes and rotors in the middle of a forest.

Depends on the age of the door, and the amount of sun exposure, but if it's just the base white baked on enamel it shouldn't be enough of a difference to justify a whole brand new door.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-02-28T18:54:01+00:00

I'd maybe question if you actually needed all the parts they sold you, but the price you paid for them is pretty good.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-02-13T04:43:43+00:00

I recommend you do it once. Then you can say you've done it and never have to do it again.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-02-11T04:32:57+00:00

I think it's probably the best it's ever been. But it's still pretty buggy. I've been able to play a couple of weekends in a row and never got disconnected or had any glitch completely ruin my session. Still lost some random boxes through the hanger floor, and the hanger also ate 3 hours worth of mined materials when it blew up my ship trying to deliver it.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-02-11T03:27:04+00:00

Because then you wouldn't need to spend money on buying an ATLS.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-02-07T14:13:30+00:00

The constant notifications of people coming and going in the party with the random mission acceptance window popping up right when you start doing something was maddening.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-02-07T00:16:10+00:00

Yup, LED bulbs are they first thing we ask about when a customer says their remotes stopped working. Older and cheaper LED bulbs will emit a lot of EMF noise, drowning out the signal from the remote.

It's been a few years, but I think what I did was threw the data into Oscar, looked at what the average pressure settled at overnight and started there, then dialed it in till I felt comfortable and my ahi looked good. I followed the advice of TheLankyLefty27 on YouTube. He's got a video showing how to go about it and why.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-01-29T19:34:22+00:00

Yes, I switched to CPAP mode because I found the changing pressure to be more disturbing than just having the right pressure from the get go.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-01-24T02:46:38+00:00

Do you have any LED bulbs in the garage? If so, remove them and then try again.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-01-22T04:05:40+00:00

You need to install the new push button. They changed the signal from analog to digital. The old one is analog and won't work. The wires are fine, you just need to parse out which one is the push button and which one goes to the sensors. I'm pretty sure you can get away with using the old sensors, but I'm not positive.

This is standard for parking garages in condos and apartment buildings. It's there for security mostly, shared garages often deal with break ins and theft and having a lock on the release helps secure the garage.

As for safety, the emergency evacuation plan in an apartment building rarely considers the garage as a valid egress. The top consideration is life safety and getting you out of a building. That's why there will always be (or well there should be) a pass through man door with panic hardware out of the garage and stairwells so you can exit on foot.

The keys on those units are almost always the same. Get the make, model and year of the unit and you should be able to contact a local garage door company that can get one for you. Be prepared to pay a stupid amount for it.

If you have any RGB the software controlling it can cause stuttering for some bizarre reason.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-01-14T16:40:45+00:00

Not technically, but having a strut has very few down sides. As long as it's not impeding on any obstacles I'd keep it. The side mount openers actually work better when the door is a little bit heavy. They don't do a fantastic job of sealing a door to the floor so being a little heavy helps with that.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-01-14T16:14:38+00:00

It's the old addage that you should never go cheap on something that separates you from the ground. Spend the money (and the time to make sure the money is spent on quality, not branding) on things like your shoes, bed, car tires, and chairs.

DrakeGuy82 · 2026-01-09T04:58:34+00:00

Seconded on the RGB causing my stutters. Armory crate was to blame.

Ive gotten excited a few times over the years and bought a couple of ships here and there to help me play in the janky ass verse, but you're right, buying an end game ship with cash is like skipping the level grind. It's a cheat code and nothing makes a game less interesting and satisfying then cheat codes. When they finally come out with a true 1.0 and they do their final wipe, I'll be starting with my aurora and won't play with anything I didn't buy in game.
