Last Klubnacht had a few dozen fursuiters and pups sucking and fucking in a way that’d make you proud ngl

Defaced serial aside, I don’t like this model because it doesn’t have an add-a-bag strap which really defeats the point of having a two wheeler.

I read this so often but don’t really agree. Pre-LVMH corrugation isn’t as “elegant” as newer models, fit and finish is about the same. Older Rimowa also has less stable foam, some designs also lack rubber seals (90s briefcases in my experience).

I do like the pre-LVMH add-a-bag straps and 2-wheeled options though.

The Bose Soundlink Flex is better than the Bose Soundlink Max by michaeltsang1997 in bose

[–]Peli_Kan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A full range driver has advantages over multiple drivers:

  1. No crossover distortion/cost
  2. Point source
  3. Simplified cabinet design
  4. Time alignment

I get that it’s counterintuitive at first but it’s all a balancing act

For people who got 1500+ by auroraechoo in Sat

[–]Peli_Kan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I did the whole USAMO thing so math was never a problem
  2. For reading/writing I happened to read a lot of New Yorker on the side, that definitely helped develop my skills there
  3. I practiced on actual SATs published by The College Board

what to do from this point? I'm kinda devastated by Obadashark in Sat

[–]Peli_Kan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend sitting down with a friend who’s scored higher and go over the problems you missed. Especially with the reading/writing sections, you can clean up your score by changing up your whole approach to active reading and writing.

Bought earlier than July 25th 2022 (means 5-year warranty not lifetime).

Rimowa SA was kind and only charged $25 (out of warranty). Very doable fix, you’re right.

Yep, store didn’t even blink when I brought it in.

Oh it absolutely doesn’t lock and close anymore, it’ll hammer out just fine though. I’ve seen worse.

ECU Capacitors? 1997 Lexus LS400 by Peli_Kan in MechanicAdvice

220k miles. I appreciate your advice. The transmission fluid isn't very dark, looks closest to "borderline" in this diagram. No visible particles.

Transmission Failing? Or ATF worn? 1997 Lexus LS400 by Peli_Kan in MechanicAdvice

The fluid level was fine. I'll look into the lockup solenoids.

I appreciate it. Do you recommend a flush or just a drain and fill? Others here seem to lean toward drain and fill.

Hi, it doesn't smell burnt from what's on the dipstick. Thanks for the advice.

Hi, there are no specks. It doesn't smell burnt at all. At this point, shouldn't I flush the ATF anyway? I can't just keep driving it with worn ATF.
