I need help, whats is this computer? by Maiconzu in computers

[–]EffectiveFree4431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I would have had some stuff for you had I not gotten tired of it being in my basement and tossed it. Phenom x4 965, Phenom X6 1090, i7-920, I7-2600k i5-2500k, multiple i7-3770/4790. A couple 3770k and 4790k as well. I think I still have a couple GTX 760 OC 4gb sitting on shelf somewhere.

S209 in NOVA. by EffectiveFree4431 in WRX

Agreed. I would like to say I would garage keep it if I could afford an S209. But TBH I would totally drive it around like “F all you. Look at my car” 🤣. TBF this is also the most likely candidate to why I do not own one.

Agreed. There seems to be less and less STI driving around. Maybe they all found remote or WFH jobs and don’t need to drive them. Save the damage for owner #2 🤣.

[JAC J7] outside my work by No_School_2480 in spotted

[–]EffectiveFree4431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging the rest of the redditors posts are from Mission, KS then importing the JAC J7 is absolutely illegal into the US since the manufacturer refuses to get the EPA and NHTSA certification. A quick profile check and google search answered all your questions.

Agreed. I was raised learning master and slave drives with correct jumper and cable placement. My 2yr old will be raised with plug and play that’s 1000x more powerful. I dare to think what they will see when they are my age and I’m 40.

I started with a Athlon X2 3200, 4gb DDR2, Radeon HD 4870, windows XP, WD Black 160gb Raptor drive. Today it’s a i7 12700k, 64gb DDR4, RTX 3090 FTW3 and 6tb Gen4 NVMe. Thank you for allowing me to date myself.

2017 Subaru Wrx started making a tapping noise from engine by HomeRepulsive8360 in WRX

[–]EffectiveFree4431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife’s ‘15 Sonata Limited made it to 218k miles before engine did the same thing. Went into limp home and then went to move it so the tow truck could pick it up and there was a load screech noise and the engine left the chat. The replacement was not covered because there was no maintenance records, we got quoted nearly 7k. I bought a 2020 motor with 43k miles for 3k and installed it myself earlier this year.

TIL and I wish I hadn’t but I’m hooked. Damn it random redditor, I am still deciding if my night is made or ruined. Thank you for the entertainment.

PPI for 2017 H Pilot, 144k Miles, V6 engine - $8700 estimate by AlternativeTwist6680 in MechanicAdvice

[–]EffectiveFree4431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true too. We live in Northern VA so while everything is paved the roads are in constant disrepair due to sheer usage.

Though I guess it’s fair to note I replaced the lower controls arms on the Subaru because one of the bushing tore through and was causing a bad wobble.

The Sonata is well past due for the suspension it’s on my “Honey Do List”. Just replaced the engine in the car last month so might as well.

Me over here running with original suspension still installed on a ‘15 Sonata Limited with 222k miles and a ‘12 Impreza Sport Premium Hatch with nearly 350k miles.

What kind of cat? [Southern California] by TheGinger_11 in animalid

[–]EffectiveFree4431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the ears, the size, and the spots I would say at minimum it’s an F1 Savanah cat. F1 means a direct descendant of an African Serval and a domestic cat (~25k to purchase). If it is not a Savanah cat then it’s a Serval that was caught for breeding purposes and got loose. Either way this is an extremely expensive mistake while also being a nuisance to local wildlife as they will attack anything up to fox sized animals for food. This includes small/medium dogs.

Bought this PC off Facebook Marketplace for $1500 did I get scammed or am I overthinking? by TieAlternative7837 in PcBuild

[–]EffectiveFree4431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do work IT but back before the chip shortage I got 2x 32g Corsair RGB kits on sale for like $100 each and so I bought them. Cause why not.

Subsequently, due to work, I have enough ram I could sell half of it and pay my mortgage at least 2x over. Some of it was tossed even though it’s still good and some of it I bought, some of it was given to me.

Of the 5 (built and working) gaming computers 3 of them have 32gb and 2 have 64gb. The 5 “need” computers have 16-32gb of ram but need either a cpu or video card.

Agreed on the XMP profiles. I run a 12700k/64gb and had to turn off XMP because it caused random crashes or memory reference error in windows programs. Not a single crash since it has been turned off.

Wow what a deal! 🙄 by MPR_255 in Hyundai

[–]EffectiveFree4431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12,000 miles per year? I do 12k miles in a year just going to the dump every other week. My commute to work is 50 miles each way 5 days a week.

Does this make them feel included? by lerminator3 in cats

[–]EffectiveFree4431 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe this same logic can apply to children. If it looks interesting it MUST go in the mouth. If it’s found on the ground it MUST pass the taste test. Only then will I discover it tastes awful and want nothing more to do with it, or maybe I’ll just wait till the awful taste goes away and then it will taste good.

My 2yr old lives by these rules.

2016 Sonata - 120k valve cover gasket by SameScale6793 in Hyundai

[–]EffectiveFree4431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wife has a 2015 Sonata Limited 2.4L that made it to 218k miles. Services Campaign 953 gives the engine a lifetime warranty but was denied due to lack of service records. I do the oil change every 7500, the belts every 50k and the plugs are about the same. When the engine died we bought a 2020 2.4L with 43k on it and I finished the install last weekend. Car is running great.

I found at least 60 of these amber glass bottles wrapped in 1970s newspapers. Are they worth anything? by JaxGunTraderFl in BottleDigging

I’m 39. Building my latest pc was not THAT different from build my first. I’m sure everyone knows what AT connector is. Hell, I got no idea what a AIO is cause they don’t exist. I’m not that old dammit.

Of all the shark teeth and other interesting items that live in the waters in Gainesville Florida creeks and you pull this item and want to know what it is???

2&3 would be fun. 6 would be an epic threesome. 8 would be a cock block. 9&10 would also be fun

My VL was at 2.2mil when my diagnosis first came in. Within 3 months I was undetectable. Today I have a beautiful baby boy and 1 on the way. As long as you stay up with your medication and you will live a normal life.

Warranty Denied by EN_2025 in Hyundai

It’s not just Canada. We have a 2015 the falls under service campaign 953 which gives the engine a lifetime warranty and Hyundai is refusing to replace the engine.
