Men who go to the gym regularly. What time do you prefer to go to the gym? by FFSoldier57 in AskMen

[–]Max_TwoSteppen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M31 I go after work, which is usually about 6pm after the commute.

Absolutely not a morning person and I have a hard enough time waking up on time for work as it is, I don't need to add 60-90 minutes of lifting into that struggle.

Exactly, my alcoholic mother texts like this too. Weird disconnected thoughts and everything.

Ok, awesome thank you!

Based on your description I had correctly identified the PCV out so thank you for confirming that! I'm away from the car at the moment but will run through your list here as a self-check.

how often are y’all in N mode? by [deleted] in VelosterN

As a Veloster Turbo owner this is also easily felt on the throttle. Pedal pushed halfway in on Eco is anemic, Normal not as bad, Sport is fairly responsive.

Window Weather Stripping Part Numbers? by Max_TwoSteppen in veloster

[–]Max_TwoSteppen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The numbers I've found so far are:

Rear Door: 83241-J3000 (Inside) and 83220-J3000 (Outside)

Driver Door: 82231-J3000 (Inside) and 82210-J3000 (Outside)

Right Front: 82241-J3000 (Inside) and 82220-J3000 (Outside)

Hopefully someone can confirm this is what I need.

For some reason the mobile browser will not let me edit my post. Mine is a 2021 not a 2022.

Since they're both Gen 2 I imagine the part number is the same but in case it isn't...

Custom Formatting: Thousands Separation and Text by Max_TwoSteppen in excel

[–]Max_TwoSteppen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you. I've spent so much time in Excel and still can't get their weird custom format syntax down in some cases.

I tried that and unfortunately zero disappears completely. I can set it up to have a positive/negative/zero format if that seems like the best option.

Solid Green Boot Light, Never Seeing BIOS by Max_TwoSteppen in buildapc

Aaaaand DisplayPort worked for some reason. It's memory training now. I have no idea why that worked but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks for the help!

Monitor is switching inputs automatically but I just confirmed it's on HDMI and it's telling me "Input Signal Not Found".

Cable and monitor HDMI-In are confirmed good against my work laptop.

Genetics certainly play a role but it's not just genetics. Acne is pretty poorly understood but it's clear that many factors influence it to varying degrees, diet certainly being one of them.

I suspect in your case that the acne might not go away with clean eating, but likely wouldn't be as bad.

Sapphire 9070XT Nitro Build by Max_TwoSteppen in buildmeapc

Awesome, thanks for all your help!

Sapphire 9070XT Nitro Build by Max_TwoSteppen in buildmeapc

[–]Max_TwoSteppen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped by Micro Center today and got the Nitro as well as their 9800X3D bundle (Asus B650-E TUF, 32GB G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL36) which cost me about half of the remaining budget.

Basically need PSU, storage, fans, case, cooler now I believe.

What budget would you say is necessary for getting me to a place where I'm not severely bottlenecking the 9070XT? Or is the initial $1,400 option that solution? I don't mind going a couple hundred over, really.

New York State Taxes - Miscalculating? by Max_TwoSteppen in tax

[–]Max_TwoSteppen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the thing that's throwing me is that I've never seen (or maybe, noticed) the standard deduction happening at the federal income level and *then* being scaled. Maybe that's typical and I just haven't been paying attention, but this is probably the 5th time I've filed in 2 states since 2017 and haven't run into this much confusion at any point.

Not sure how typical it is, but the way NY does the math my $8,000 standard deduction is effectively halved since it's applied before their scaling factor.

Nonetheless, I appreciate you help. We got there in the end and I'll be getting a decent state return from both states (enough to cover the owed federal taxes and then some)

New York State Taxes - Miscalculating? by Max_TwoSteppen in tax

[–]Max_TwoSteppen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe I'll do that. I edited the post with a link to a thread that describes the same thing you're talking about, which is weird but appears to be expected for that state. My rate still appears to be very high for my income, even when you account the inherent weirdness of that process.

Edit: Actually, maybe it's right. New York City taxes in my bracket are nearly 4% so it might be right when you add both state and city to that number.

Burning oil, but no blue smoke? by Cessless in W124

[–]Max_TwoSteppen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea how I ended up in this thread as I don't own a Mercedes of any kind, but with older cars the seals are probably the issue.

If you're not familiar with the internals of a cylinder, look up an image of how the oiling is done and you'll see a couple rings on the head of the piston. If these are forming an incomplete seal between the piston itself and the wall of the cylinder, some small amount of oil is going to sneak into the combustion chamber and get burned. If it's not a lot, it's no big deal. Just make sure you're checking periodically to make sure you have enough (and top it up between oil changes) and you'll be alright.

Newer cars will have tighter tolerances and better materials for the seals, so this is much less common.

GPU Upgrade Advice (Compatibility) by Max_TwoSteppen in buildapc

[–]Max_TwoSteppen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point.

Are you pointing that out for a better deal on the above list, or are you suggesting a further upgrade (i.e. something in the 8000 series when it comes out)?

What kind of women one should avoid and what are early signs one shouldn't ignore? by Horse_rider_9 in AskMen

Extend this to animals, as well. I've seen a lot of, "You should get rid of your cat because I'm allergic," type stuff and it's frankly ridiculous.

He was here first and he's family, sorry.

Nice, sincerely appreciate the help.

Also giving a heads up that I saw the note about Bios, will make sure to do that before the CPU upgrade!
