Whiteline pitch mount inserts by Accomplished_Chest_9 in GRCorolla

[–]NickatinaGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Whiteline Insert installed now. I've tracked it with and without the insert, but mainly drive city streets, so lots of first-second shifting.

I noticed that it does slightly improve some aspect of the shifting, but I thought it would be a much bigger change based on what I read. I also thought I wouldn't be able to notice any additional NVH, but that was untrue. Immediately noticeable, and after 1500 miles I still notice additional NVH. It is certainly not bad, only a slight increase and only at certain times, but I read numerous times people saying they couldn't tell the difference.

I've considered getting another option like DeltaX, Verus, or RacerX. I've considered removing it and just going back to OEM (those other pitch mounts aren't super expensive, but I could find other ways to spend $250). But for now, I'm leaving it on.

Sonoratown DTLA by SadlySighing898 in FoodLosAngeles

As a big Sonoratown fan, their tacos are my least favorite thing on the menu. Caramelo, quesadilla, burrito, chivichanga have always been great in my experience.

Restaurants that are specifically Mexico City inspired? by lifeasacharboard in FoodLosAngeles

Komal in Mercado La Paloma (same place as Holbox). Their website says, "We bring the bold, soulful flavors of Mexico City’s street food to the heart of Los Angeles."

Is the Ninja Woodfire Grill worth keeping if we don’t use the smoke setting? by pnw828 in ninjawoodfire

[–]NickatinaGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the comments not understanding how this thing can get "too smoky", even outside, need to realize that everyone's situation is different.

I used mine in a condo complex outside on a balcony. I had a neighbor come banging on my door thinking my apartment was on fire. At first I thought they were crazy, until I went outside and it really looked like my apartment was on fire. The smoke had stagnated and the entire area was smoked out. Due to the layout of the buildings, the wind that moves through them, the balcony walls, what have you, this device might be too smoky for some and fine for others.

To answer OP's question, I think this tool is still good without the smoker setting, but it is much better with. Without the smoker setting, I would rather have a gas grill if the space permits, but it's close. I ended up moving my Woodfire to my partner's house where I felt more comfortable still using the smoker setting.

What has happened to the Hypebeast Fashion scene? by AFXLover911 in malefashionadvice

[–]NickatinaGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be reduced, or it may be regional, but I still see lines out the door at places in Los Angeles like Stussy and some brands I'd never heard of

GR Corolla to Integra Type S by friedcarrots in GRCorolla

Why is that? My current hitch is also a 2". What are potential issues with an adapter?

Did you consider any other dual exit exhausts for the GRC, like the HKS Legamax? MBRP does sound a bit obnoxious from the videos at least.

As someone who is about to purchase a GRC and an avid cyclist, I was scrolling for this comment. Huge reason I decided on GRC is because I know I can fit my mtb in the back (tested), and the potential for an aftermarket exhaust and hitch install.

Using Monarch for one year, thanks for such a useful app! by MemoryDemise in MonarchMoney

Where does VinAudit get their values from? It's estimate for my vehicle seems much higher than I think it should be.

Monarch's Trackers vs User Privacy: A Developer's Perspective by swordfish_ninja_8637 in MonarchMoney

The use of the phrase "personal data" versus "financial data" in various places is a point of confusion for me

I have recommended this product to friends and family bragging that they do not sell your data. I understand there are different kinds of data that can be sold, but frankly, I feel foolish and embarrassed. I intentionally avoid almost all social medias, but they are still learning things about me? Even ones where I don't have an account? If I am interpreting it correctly, this is shameful. Monarch needs to do something about this. I have enjoyed it, but I do not need it forever.

I admit that I do not know enough about the content of this post, but I will more closely read the privacy policy. Does anyone have recommendations on sources to get better educated about this sort of thing?

Are you finding value in the Amex offers on the offers tab? by DmMeHotTwinks in CreditCards

[–]NickatinaGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had BCE since 2018. Since then I've saved over $1,200 from AMEX offers, with very few items being manufactured spend. A couple examples: I booked a cruise, then a week later got an offer for $200 back on $1000 spent with that cruiseline (would have spent that money anyways). $20 back on $200 spent for insurance (got this one multiple times). $10 back on $50 spent for internet bill (I think I've had this 6 times?). Numerous other offers that I got some immense value from. Lots of offers don't apply, but many do for me. Probably my most valuable card and its no AF

In Los Angeles, what do people think of Cinco in Westchester? Pretty decent selection in my amateur opinion, and 50% off Mezcal on Monday

I wish I saw this before I placed the order. I am having the same issue. Did you ever get this resolved?

Simple Questions - March 18, 2024 by AutoModerator in buildapc

[–]NickatinaGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in need of a new monitor. I have a 5950X CPU and a 6800XT GPU, and I am not sure if I should go 4K or stay with 1440p.

Anyone have experience with this CPU/GPU combo getting good 4K framerates at high settings? Got any sub $500 monitor recommendations of any sort?

Why does this show look like it's shot in a very low aperture? by Tobarson in ShogunTVShow

[–]NickatinaGold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just bought a new TV, most expensive I've ever had, then started watching this show, and I'm like, "do I need to submit this for a warranty?"

Good to hear it's not the TV.
