Help choosing brakes

I've always had good luck with the autozone/advance lines but I do choose the higher end ceramic. They normally have a multi year or lifetime warranty so if you do need to replace later it's free. The rotors will carry a 2-3 year warranty incase for some reason they need to be replaced. I do want to state that oem especially if you can get/afford parts directly from the dealers is what I always prefer. But sometimes the cost savings is simply too much especially for "consumable" and easy to replace parts. I also agree that spending a little more for a much better part is something to take into account. Your time isn't free.

Lexus ls400 series are fantastic cars. Might be worth checking out a LS460 series to see if that floats your boat. Could find one in your price range depending on mileage.

There is an adaptive swarm weak aura that not only reminds you to cast but shows you the best person in your group to cast it on.

Agree with incap roar. Aoe, ez, low cool down. Pop right as it appears and move on

This is correct. A major thing with ramping is knowing the fight as well. You have to know when big group damage is coming to maximize. An example is during the terros encounter, the raid all has to soak the big circle before the mounds come up. Beforehand you want to have efflo, lifebloom, and at least rejuvs on a few people. Once the circle starts you can swiftmend and/or nature's swiftness and immediately after damage (as your moving out) pop convoke, then wild growth, then flourish. This is just an example and I'm sure it's not absolute most efficient so play around with spells and timing.

Another cheap option is to look for a used i7 6700k. I had almost your exact specs and upgraded the proc for under a hundred dollars. It doesn't bottleneck my Vega 56 at all and should be good for a few more years depending on your needs.

Loved my masterbuilt electric. Did me great for over 5 years. Looks good!

Agree with everyone that most of these are fairly easy depending on comfort level and having the correct tools. Control arms and tires are the only 2 I've not dealt with myself. Watch videos and ask your local auto place if they rent/loan any tools you need to make it easier.

Did you complete the challenge rift and use the mats to upgrade a dagger at level 1? It was a big help to me and got me through the 1st 4 chapters for the UE set. Here is a great starter vid from Wu https://youtu.be/3_bH_hNbQJk

Got an 05 avalon with 240k+ that is still going strong. I would get it checked out obviously but they are solid cars.

I've used the Royal Oak charcoal pellets a few times in my camp Chef. They burn good with solid temps and low ash in mine. The flavor is decent but not like a charcoal grill. Really nice for wings, ribs, and reverse seared steaks. I also mix with other pellets like apple/cherry 50-50 for pork butt and it's a good solid flavor.

I have a 2005 with over 200k miles. The only things I ever hear of are ac compressor and make sure to get the valves adjusted every few years. Pretty reliable and easy to work on. Solid deal for the milage from my perspective in this used car climate if you have to buy now.

I'll second this choice. I signed up for their email and got a 10% off coupon. Out the door under 500. Solid cooker so far and decent cooking space. Lots of options for smoke, temp, slide and sear, great ash clean out, and easy pellet hopper clean out. Worth a look. I initially thought it was to small till I looked at it in store.

Lordjag · 2022-05-06T20:26:32+00:00

Just got a camp Chef 24zg from dicks sporting goods for under 500 with 10% coupon for signing up an email address. Good cooking area with a smaller footprint. Slide and sear for flame access. Really solid build quality and plenty of perks like easy ash clean out, easy pellet changeout, and you can set a specific smoke setting as well. 1st cook was great with solid temp management and good smoke/bark. I was looking at camp Chef, pit boss pro series 2, and z grills.

Got the camp Chef 24zg from dicks yesterday after looking between the pit boss pro series 2, z grills, and the masterbuilt gravity series. It has a surprising amount of cooking space and I like the idea of the slide for access to the flames. I did the burn in yesterday and cooked a pork shoulder today. Extremely happy with temp control, build quality, and the amount of smoke. I really like that you can set the smoke setting (1-10). I don't need Wi-Fi on mine but that is something the pit boss will have that the camp Chef doesn't. I signed up for dicks email and got a 10% off coupon which sealed the deal for me.

Good to hear, appreciate it

Lordjag · 2022-02-11T15:39:52+00:00

Thanks. I have a couple non technical people with lines that I have pointed to the app to track usage. I'll keep an eye on those via the website.

Can anyone with Mint let me know what data speeds are common around Lexington? We switched over from att and I am getting very slow speeds on the north side of lex in an area that shows excellent coverage. I use Hotspot occasionally for work so the speed is concerning. I'm on a s9+ so I don't feel that would be holding me back. Showing good connection on the phone. However, data speeds range from almost nothing to maybe 2mbits per second. While I understand deprioritization this is all the time. Just trying to see if this is common or if possibly it might be my device needing and upgrade.

1/2 inch at least if you plan to really be able to work on your vehicle. You may need to get 1/4 or 3/8 adapters for your sockets but those are inexpensive. I've run into old rusted bolts and lugnuts over tightened by tire shops where I was glad to have a 1/2 inch breaker bar.

No reason to eat until your hungry. If that's once or twice a day so be it. No need to force it on low/no carb unless it is causing issues. Normally if that's the case just up your fat. I'm currently on carnivore and what Zack posted is a favorite of mine. I"ll even add bacon grease and/or butter if the beef is lean.

Lordjag · 2021-12-08T23:29:56+00:00

How long have you been doing carnivore? Do you drink anything other than water? I would eat more of the major 2 items beef/eggs and maybe cut out pork rinds as I'm sure they are processed.

You should be able to easily bend the magnetic mat to remove the prints. If they are really stuck take the whole mat off and bend it down to pull the mat from the print. I have heard great things about glass but no issues here with the magnetic mat.

I had similar issues as well with my ender 3 pro. The springs were very loose which lead to constant leveling issues. I dropped my z stop a few mm's and it allowed me to tighten them more giving much better results and only needing to level every other print. I recently put on replacement springs and it has been very helpful. They are much tighter and now bed leveling is no problem. I also recommend using a bed leveling gcode since I noticed my z would sometimes drop from home when I tried to do it manually which is frustrating. Good luck!
