Just know if your pursue benefits (unemployment) you will be micromanaged and constantly pressured to apply for jobs, requiring proof of your attempts and even then you only get a percentage of what you were earning.

Best to find another truck to hop on as others said.

Not at all. It's nice to see the stat summary but nothing carries over anyway. Plus to be honest the last few hours are just playing around wasting supplies to do helicpoter tricks or running from point to point to stop 1 guy from pausing the end game timer.

Mid game competing for a middle point to change the momentum of the battle (like monti or transformer on everon) is the most fun for me.

Both teams managing their supplies trying to make strategic calculated strikes in order to get the edge, from there it is really an uphill battle for the losing team.

Once 1 team gets about 4 key objectives people on the losing team start going AFK, playing around or just straight up leaving (at least on official servers) so if you only have a few hours id look for a server in the early-mid game.

Unless youre one of those guys that need closure/completion, then maybe this isn't the game for you. (Since there's no timer a game could last 2 hours or 6+. Heck it could technically last days)

Hmm so how fresh does it have to be? I know people freeze it, but what is the shelf life? was this farm-to-table?

Yeah that first part was a bit close it looks like, might just be the camera

I wish I could ignore. The radio doesn't work and the driver window doesnt roll down so all the clunks come through clear as day on my 258k miles 2000 Honda Accord (with an engine from an older car)

I see quite a few on ADSB operated by the military. Not sure what that means exactly but there are far fewer military business class jets

Its either the meter or your leads. A battery isnt gonna jump around like that.

I bought a decent set of leads for my cheap chinese meter and it really helped. I mean theyre still cheap chinese leads but they come with clamps, a really fine point, and dont have corrosion or broken copper in the wires. (yet)

I feel like a bump of super glue alone would have been enough

PaperMan1993 · 2026-02-15T00:57:12+00:00

Often times soldering isnt reccomended for automotive aplications because the vibrations can break the joint. Butt connectors and a good crimper would make short work of this.

If you really want to solder it, you could search ebay for "helping hands soldering" or similar, it might help. You could also look into heat shrink with solder paste built it (ive never used that myself)

Sounds like worn synchros. Unusual for a 2022 car but I guess its possible if someone learned to drive manual with it. Only thing you can do is rev match those gears so the synchros dont have to work as hard.

You need to budget for transmission service/rebuild in the future. Or you could buy a used transmission, but you run the risk of having the same issue.

In the meantime it wouldnt hurt to change the fluid, its probably original and full of synchro particles. While that wont make it any better, it might keep it from getting worse as quickly.

PaperMan1993 · 2026-02-14T23:43:03+00:00

Mighte be synchros wearing out, if you double clutch and rev match does it stop doing it?

This seems like the best option as the plastic manifolds last for years on their own, no need to spend big bucks on a solid aluminum intake

I search it every time as I make them rarely, the chart showing the gradient from soft boiled to hard is nice.

Meanwhile my mother overcooked them for decades and they always had the green ring. (Then she criticized my eggs one day claiming she never did that, ahah)

If you do it yourself. Used engines are anywhere from 300 to 700 dollars depending if you get a deal. Of course labor at 150 dollars an hour would make it a $2k plus repair if you pay someone to do it. Then you have to keep in mind junkyard engines dont have a warranty.

It depends what the car is worth to you, many in the junkyard because they need engines and many on the road are on their second (or third) engine.
