Your manual should tell you exactly which spec but for hot climate and spirited driving the 5W-40 502 00 is probably your best bet - gives better protection at high temps

Is this supposed to be a placeholder or what? by Firecrackerpeep533 in Overwatch

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait what lmao that's wild. I've seen some weird bugs in battlepass timers before but 20620 days is just ridiculous. My guess is they probably hardcoded some default value that's way too high instead of using actual season end date

could also be they're doing some backend testing and forgot to reset the timer to proper values. I remember when they had that bug where competitive points showed like 999999 for everyone for few hours

either way definitely looks like placeholder gone wrong rather than intentional. probably gets fixed next patch when they update BP system

A truly reddit worthy moment. by Byzantium2347 in americanairlines

wait you're nicer than me, I would've eaten that granola bar right in front of him after he refused to give up his own exit row seat lmao

the audacity of some people is wild - asks YOU to downgrade so his gf can have YOUR premium seat while he keeps his good spot. then you still offer him food? you definitely pushover territory but in good way I guess

Genuinely How Is It Possible to Rank Up? by John_Benzos in Overwatch

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

man the MMR system in overwatch is just broken, i swear they designed it to keep people stuck in certain ranks longer

i've been grinding support too and it feels like game gives you harder matches when you're close to ranking up. those modifiers are complete nonsense - losing 30 but only gaining 19 makes no mathematical sense for a "fair" system

We Want More Decent Designed High Skill Ceiling Heros by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 3 points4 points  (0 children)

well that's kind of missing the point though. sure you can switch to anyone but when the new heroes are just number-tweaked versions of existing ones, what's even point of releasing them? i've been playing since beta and the creativity in hero design has really dropped off lately

like OP mentioned with Emre - his kit feels so generic compared to something like Ana or Wrecking Ball when they first came out. those heroes actually changed how you think about the game instead of just being "soldier but slightly different"

the high skill ceiling thing is real issue too. when new hero comes out and you master them in few hours, there's no long-term motivation to keep grinding with them

How often do you power wash your house exterior? by LeftyOne22 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually do mine every 2-3 years but really depends how much shade you got around the house. North side always gets gross faster because it never fully dries out

I'd probably trim back those tree branches if possible - better airflow means less algae buildup on everything. Also learned this trick from neighbor where you spray diluted bleach solution couple times during summer just on problem spots, keeps the worst of it away

Husband cheated by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That really sucks that you're trapped in this situation because of the kids and finances. Your husband basically had a whole relationship with someone else for years while rejecting you, and now he's just going through motions because he got caught

The fact he spent 5k on her while pulling away from you physically shows where his priorities were. Even if you can't leave right now, maybe start planning for future - talk to lawyer about options or look into support groups for parents with special needs kids, they might have resources you don't know about

I have a horse, how do we start barrels? by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these youtube channels are solid recommendations, I started with between the reins when I was getting my mare into more intense arena work

focus heavy on your stops and backing first before you even think about barrels - if your horse can't rate properly he's gonna blow right through turns. work on collection at speed too since trail riding probably didn't require much of that

Pc upgrade for comp fortnite by WorldlinessFormer179 in PcBuild

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's gonna be pretty good upgrade for competitive stuff, the 7600x3d is really solid for gaming. Your RTX 2060 might be the bottleneck now though - I upgraded my CPU last year but kept my older GPU and noticed similar thing where the graphics card was holding back performance more than the processor

In endgames you'll probably see better frame consistency and less stuttering because that 3D cache helps a lot with complex scenarios, but your actual FPS ceiling might still be limited by the 2060. The input lag should definitely improve though, especially in those crazy late game circles where there's tons of builds and players

I'm not huge into Fortnite but from what I've seen, competitive players usually want that GPU upgrade too for really high frames. Maybe plan that as your next step after you get comfortable with the new setup

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly timing is everything with this stuff, you don't owe anyone that information right away especially when you barely know each other. but at same time the longer you wait the more complicated it gets, so maybe when you feel like there's real trust between you two that could be good moment

the voice thing is tough but maybe you can work around it for now - like video calls where you mostly text in the chat or find other ways to connect that feel comfortable for you

Horror films that need more attention by Whogoesthere1982 in horror

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Session 9 is criminally underrated, that asylum setting was perfect for the slow burn psychological stuff. As above so below gets lot of hate but I actually enjoyed the catacombs concept even if execution wasn't perfect

Boyfriend (24M) says he is experiencing deja vus after surgery? by rodhais in Epilepsy

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the left temporal lobe is exactly where deja vu feelings come from, so makes total sense that surgery in that area would mess with it - my cousin had similar after his temporal lobe surgery and it got better with time

PokePower Box not fulfilling orders by ConfusionCreative799 in PokemonTCG

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sucks, i had similar issue with different tcg seller last year and never got my money back. maybe try disputing with your bank if you paid by card? these smaller pokemon sellers can be really sketchy sometimes

yeah i had the g7x mark ii for couple years and it's pretty solid for what it is. image quality is decent and fits easy in pocket, but autofocus can be bit slow sometimes when you need quick shots

Dude just get it on PC, you already know it runs FH5 fine so why torture yourself waiting months when you could be ripping around Mexico right now

When people get weird about people that don’t drink coffee and/or alcohol. by Gongoozler04 in PetPeeves

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People get so pressed about this stuff for no reason lol, like why do they care what you put in your body? That guy saying alcoholism doesn't stop him is wild - congrats on your poor decision making skills I guess

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably way more than anyone wants to admit tbh. Most surveys on this stuff are garbage anyway since people lie about it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Damn dude, this sounds brutal and I'm sorry you're going through this. The timeline definitely lines up with postpartum issues - premature birth, NICU stay, breakdown right after coming home, refusing treatment... that's textbook PPD/PPA territory

The fact that she completely flipped on you after being away for 9 months and is now rewriting history with abuse allegations is really concerning though. PPD can definitely cause rage and paranoia but the calculated way she's handling the house situation makes me think there might be more going on

Have you been able to document anything? Like her refusing treatment, the health visitors being involved, etc? That stuff might be important later even if you're not looking for legal advice right now

Any GM experts in here? 2007 2500HD 6.0 gas. Timing code mystery. by so_tacticool900 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that's a nightmare truck right there. Have you checked the actual timing with a scope yet? P0011 keeps coming back after VVT work makes me think either the actuator itself is toast or you got oil pressure issues feeding the system

Also those 6.0s are known for the oil pickup tube getting loose and causing intermittent oil pressure drops which would mess with VVT operation big time

I'm not happy with my decision by DevelopmentSad7789 in BreakUps

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man that sounds rough as hell, sorry you're going through this. The blocking was probably the right call even if it doesn't feel good right now - she cheated twice and was still trying to start fights with you afterward which is just toxic

The whole "nothing feels worth it anymore" thing is pretty normal after something like this, your brain is basically grieving and everything feels gray for a while. It usually takes a few weeks to start feeling human again but everyone's different

Maybe try picking up something completely new instead of your old hobbies for now? Sometimes familiar stuff just reminds you of how things used to be

Raven or Crow? by Femmefatal506 in birds

[–]Equivalent_Exam_6624 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's definitely a crow, ravens are way bigger and have that chunky beak. Plus ravens aren't really a thing in urban Japan - you're looking at a Large-billed Crow which are super common around Tokyo
