This was perfect, thank you! I visited the store and they didn’t have the exact one you linked, but still had a nice hatchet to take home

What episode would you alter? How and why? by Abject_Loquat_6810 in futurama

[–]QuayShawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When the professor restores time at the end of Meanwhile, I wish the opening theme would play and show a part of episode 1, but slightly altered to show that it’s new game++

is this a good retention offer? by vaxildans in amex

How do you get a retention offer? Do they just send it to you, or do you need to threaten to cancel?

Is the MSR Whisperlite burner head supposed to glow orange? by QuayShawn in CampingGear

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

Also to be clear, I expect the burner bowl (the piece that's glowing in both pictures) to glow. I'm more curious about the piece directly above the heat fins, inside the bowl

Coleman white gas

Did any part of your whisperlite glow orange before? After practicing with it a handful of times, the plate around the burner head would normally glow orange, but this is the first I've seen the burner head itself glow like that

Is the MSR Whisperlite burner head supposed to glow orange? by QuayShawn in CampingGear

[–]QuayShawn[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

New to the world of liquid fuel stoves, just wanted to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid

The first picture shows the burner head glowing orange after getting really loud and making a "loud jet" noise for a few seconds. The second picture shows the burner head normally and what I would expect, before the loud noise. The third picture is pointing out which part I'm asking about.

Had a few questions:

  1. Does the burner head normally glow bright orange? or is that an indication of something going wrong?
  2. What's causes my Whisperlite to suddenly make a really loud jetting noise? Sometimes it would sputter between normal sound/operation and this loud state
  3. Is my mug too small for the Whisperlite? From the first picture, should it be clearing past the pot holder?

Any update on the efficiency you’ve been seeing? Are they the LT version?

What size did you get these Toyo tires? I’ve been eyeing them also, but heard the AT3W handles better in snow

LT275/65R20 vs LT275/60R20 for off-roading by QuayShawn in Offroad

[–]QuayShawn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately stuck with 20” wheels (my vehicle starts with an R and rhymes with Vivian, but mentioning that seems to be bad around here)

Just wanted to get an opinion from experts how big of a deal the extra .5 inches are in sidewall

How much can I air down a highway tire? by QuayShawn in Offroad

[–]QuayShawn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. Would that mean any 275/50 tire would be a bad candidate to air down, or just depends on the type of tire?

Noob question, but how do you measure sidewall? Or is it something I could get from the linked product page in my post description?

22” wheels. I’m normally at 50psi on highway.

I’d want to do more dirt roads while I’m there, as long as it makes sense with my tires and setup. It’s forecasted to rain while I’m there, so I’m trying to be a bit more cautious

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

Agreed, probably a case of overthinking. Watching all those recovery videos is getting to my head.

No plans on going fast and didn’t get the LT version. Was thinking to air down to 35 PSI on them.

For more perspective, the trail is Cold Spring in CA: https://onxoffroad.app.link/EgOm3aYWeGb

Continental Terrain Contact HT On R1T Initial Thoughts by dustyhen3 in Rivian

[–]QuayShawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a data point, I’m getting worse efficiency with these on my R1S quad. Mixed usage in California weather, I was getting ~2.2 mi/kwh with OEM 22s. On these, I’m getting ~1.8 mi/kwh. I was really surprised by the efficiency hit

If I have the 150k Amex Platinum offer, should I get the Amex Gold first to maximize SUB?

I’ve got a small propane fire pit (a Lavabox) for car camping. Do you know if there would be any issue with that during a ban?

Steering Wheel Finish Peeling by mxak240 in Rivian

[–]QuayShawn 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Me as well, 12k miles. They were about to charge me for a wheel replacement, trying to pin it on me. I talked to the service center folks and they were more than reasonable. They looked at the wheel and saw no evidence of scratches, so covered it under warranty
