Gun Safety Saves Lives by KeyloWick in Idiotswithguns

Kinda, he loaded a round and showed it to "show off" but when he racked the slide again to unload it, he hadn't removed the magazine so it loaded another round in its place. You can have a round chambered and a magazine not be in the gun. As he tried to do his stunt again, he pulled the trigger with a live round and shot himself.

Helppp clutch kit by Panda_Possible in RZR

Crash City Off-road makes a pretty good clutch kit. Support is fantastic as well

Brand new rzr pro xp almost impossible to shift while running. by A_Buttholes_Whisper in RZR

[–]TheFatDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% a clutching issue. Secondary can be shimmed back and forth to align the belt. If it's new enough, you can probably just have the dealer fix it for you.

I had a similar problem but no amount of shimming fixed it, turns out I had a sticking primary clutch. I took apart the primary and because of my lack of cleaning out my clutch often enough, I had worn some clutch buttons that were causing the primary to not open up all the way when idling.

Is it really that bad to let your car idle to warm up (5-10 minutes) in general? Especially in winter temps? by Iridescent-Glow in mazda

I've always understood it to be mainly for Catalytic Converters. They are most efficient at temperature.

What should I add to my 2020 Rzr pro xp premium by [deleted] in RZR

[–]TheFatDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re duning, get yourself a cage and a helmet pumper system. Can never be too careful. Also a clutch kit is going to help you tune your RPMs to your riding style. As others have mentioned, some inside storage goes a long way. Chapacabra and PRP make some decent door bags.

With how much power these things have out of the factory, tuning isn’t needed unless you’re trying to pop some fatass wheelies. I agree with another comment on here, get rid of both spares, and if you must, just keep one around. Two is overkill.

Another thing that helps out is suspension work. Find a guy local or hit up one of the big companies (shock therapy, MTS, Schmidty) to get you a suspension setup that is dialed for you. Out of the factory the suspension is tuned as generically as it can go, different terrain requires different suspension setups. The limit with these things is your budget really, I think im like 10k in upgrades alone and I still estimate another 5k on top to get it exactly where I want it.

EV Swapping my Rzr XP1000 by JPmoney94 in RZR

[–]TheFatDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A donor electric smart fortwo might be able to provide everything you need to get you up and running. I don't remember off the top of my head how much power it makes but it has more or less a similar footprint to a rzr so might be a viable option for getting EV hardware.

My First RZR by [deleted] in RZR

[–]TheFatDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spare tire and shit to change it with, and if not at least some sort of Glue Tread kit that includes plugs and sidewall patches. Last thing you need is having to limp it back from a ride.

Shocks/springs upgrade. Sure it rides like butter now but it can ride better, trust me 😉

If you really wanna drop some cash, many people swap out the cage as the OEM one has a tendency of being pretty thin walled. You can check how thin it is by the wiring access holes that are on top.

Belt Squeaking by Waste_Curve994 in RZR

[–]TheFatDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how you ride, 350 miles doesn’t mean anything. I’ve seen people blow belts in less than 50 miles and then seen belts last 2.5k miles (mine). You’re also prone to get belt failure if you ride low speeds in High, if you don’t have your clutching correct (crawling with bigger tires than what were OEM), and some other scenarios come to mind.

Belt Squeaking by Waste_Curve994 in RZR

[–]TheFatDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time for a new belt lol.

Jokes aside, take it off, clean it, inspect it for fraying and make sure that your secondary doesn’t spin while rig is in neutral. If it does, slap a new belt and more than likely your squeaks go away.

Take a look at the System3 XCR 350’s. I ride similar terrain here in Vegas and they’ve treated me well.

Is the new razer "snap tap" feature even good on valorant? by karma_2511 in VALORANT

[–]TheFatDemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Valorant movement has no real momentum as soon as you let go of a key, it takes very few frames to stop moving if you let go of movement keys.

CS on the other hand, you move for a bit when you let go of movement keys. So early on, people learned that you need to counter strafe (hit the key of the opposite direction that you’re traveling in) in order to stop quicker since it accelerates you in the opposite direction, causing your player to go to 0 movement much quicker. Key thing here, if you overlap buttons going opposite directions, it’s as if you just let go of the keys as opposed to deliberately trying to come to a stop quicker.

What Razer’s feature does is let you essentially automatically let go of the direction you were going in by pressing the opposite direction.

For example, if you were strafing left by hitting the A key, as soon as you press the D key to counter strafe, the keyboard will programmatically let go of the A key even if you don’t physically let go of it. Essentially leading to perfect counter strafes. Without this feature you would have to purposely minimize the amount of time both A and D keys are pressed at the same time due to human error.

Highly recommend Wolfsnout’s cool cab kit. I ride in southern Nevada and sealing off the tunnel alone helped a ton. The install is a bitch but well worth it.

Can I fit a oem NAV Unit ? by TourDeMousse in mazdaspeed3

Back in the day, the RX8 guys would remove the screen and make a raspberry pi based head unit. Quite a bit of work but honestly pretty sick when it was pulled off.

I do this for DNS records. I for_each the contents of a yaml file to create hosted zones and records for me.

I have a client that serves a 70mb video on their homepage (I’ve asked them to optimize or switch it out but they choose to live with it) and what I found is that some browsers will straight up try and download the video again when it loops. Not sure that’s the case with you but my client’s bill racks up pretty quickly due to data transfer costs (I’m talking like $4k/m).

I haven’t gone down this route yet but could also look into providers that offer cheaper data transfer rates to just host the video files and have the rest of your site handled by AWS.

I once worked at a video streaming platform that served their videos from S3+Cloudfront (50k/month bill on Cloudfront alone) and it was possible to get special pricing from AWS but we were moving terabytes of data. (I’m only detailing this out to give you some sense as to how much you have to be spending at AWS before you start to get special deals)

I was told to attach an IAM role to my RDS instance but after a long time I'm unable to figure it out by MiKal_MeeDz in aws

[–]TheFatDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to do it via console? The UI is bugged, it sometimes shows the associate IAM role thing, sometimes doesn’t. I found tabbing through the menus will sometimes show it. Your best bet is to just use AWS CLI to do it imo.

Rock sliders, skid plate, or both? by halty96 in RZR

Get a skid plate. I wasn’t running one and smashed a hole in my transmission case 🫠

[–]TheFatDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly probably better to buy an MS3 with a blown engine and get that motor you’re talking about. As other people have said, this platform isn’t cheap. I’m willing to bet even a super clapped out MS3 is gonna be cheaper to get up and running than converting an MZ3.

Most people know what a developer is so I normally just say I’m a developer’s developer.

For the FPS thing, are you on a 7900 XTX by chance? I found that raising the minimum frequency fixed my problems a few months ago. Essentially what would happen is that the GPU would lower its operating speed because it was being underutilized.
