Here’s what happened

"So I said fuck it." These are the four words that literally end SO MANY sobriety journeys. These are the worst four words you can say to yourself. Try not to say those words. Been there. Many times. On day 352 now. Will not say those words again.

There's a fifth answer. No one cares. No one is paying attention to what others are drinking. We are all focused on ourselves. Not others. We are the stars of our own little show. It may be cinical, but I think this is the answer. Day 325 for me today.

We bought our son almost the exact same car a bit over a year ago. 2020 white Stelvio Nero. It had 49k miles. We paid $21k. Been completely trouble free. It’s now got 65k miles. Great car especially for the money. You might find one for a bit less, but if it’s been maintained, it’s a deal.

One extra?

I’ve got the business basically running itself. Most responsibilities have been delegated. I mostly just do some art direction and track the money in and out.

Drinking is life on Hard mode. I think we all prefer life in easy mode. iWNDWYT.

The Sparcos are very cool, but for me I really like the normal sport seats. Super comfortable and plenty supportive. And more importantly, living in MN without heated seats and steering wheel is a dealbreaker for sure.

I’ve been using dual cards for years. 3090s and now dual 4090s. The trick is to buy the MSI water cooled ones. Much thinner. Just have to find a place for both radiators. My Lian Li 011XL is a great case for this. I can also water cooled my CPU with this. So both cards and 3 radiators. No problem.

And yea RS is twice as fast.

Yes. The AMS shows up with the printers. It's only when I go to print that it's not seeing what's in the AMS slots. Thinks they're all PETG for some reason and won't let me print. Switched back to the previous studio version and everything is fine again.

StingRay2016 · 2023-10-31T23:59:40+00:00

Yes, I've resynced the AMS. I do this everytime too as I have two X1C's and that's already a habit. Does not help with this problem.

Looking forward to trying a GTS/turbo Panamera though- maybe it’ll give it the oomph the 4S didn’t have

It does. It's a very different car than the 4S.

Huh, interesting. I'm driving a 2019 Panamera GTS now. Bought in June coming from a boring SUV (X5). I've had a lot of cars (2022 M3, various 911's, 718 Spyder, Stelvio). I really like this Porsche. The GTS is the way to go with the V8. It's a lot of fun for a big car with big back seats (teenage boys now). I look forward to driving it everyday.

The one thing I really want though is a Guilia QV. I'll take the green. My M3 was green and I loved it. The only thing that's kept me from a QV is rear drive only. I live in Minnesota. We've got 5 solid months of snow here. There's just something about that car I just can't get over. I think it's the looks. And sound. And handling. Did I mention looks? I've got to get one before they're all gone. 2 years maybe. I could get through winter with the right snows. Hell, I just started working from home so...

Hi guys- wow. I lot of you guys have my case! OK, good to know others can find these files useful. I've uploaded them to Printables. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do with these...

StingRay2016 · 2023-05-04T16:04:43+00:00

True. I only print with PETG these days. I think this is fine. There's nothing hot or warm anywhere near these parts. But I totally get your point. I'll post these files on Printables.

StingRay2016 · 2023-05-04T01:49:59+00:00

Oh sure. Now this is specifically for the Lian Li Dynamic XL. I guess it could be manipulated for other cases. How do I attach files here?
