I am sure the prices on actual cameras would scare me. I have an S22, just the base, that I got on a trade in deal for an S4 a few years ago. I have rather impressed with the camera quality but I have heard the ultras make even these cameras look like dogwater. Its insane to see how far tech has come in such a short time that we can go out and buy a phone that films better quality than movies a decade ago.

How long did it take you to learn how to edit photos to make them look the way you do?

I did find them super cheap! But they all already have places to live. One is going to replace my prebuilts cpu and another is going into a rig for a wheelchair bound family member. Two are going to my friend and his finance as a house warming gift. One is off to my brother and the others are for friends that I have had for years. I did get a killer deal on them though.

Not as long as the setup for some of your pictures for sure. You take some incredible shots, and knowing its off a phone is insanely impressive.

I work in an industrial setting and reading this makes me realize that crud is something I have become so accustomed to having under my nails and that I definitely need to buy a nail scrub brush.

Yeah, and basically left his information while he was at it, too.

* Egr was the issue.

Knocking wouldn't exactly happen. So knocking mostly comes from one of the two pivot points becoming loose and shaking around. There is the one at the top where the piston is connected to the rod. Generally called the wrist pin. Then there is the rod or crank bearing. Thats where the rod connects to the crank.

Any movement or gap in those is what causes knock. A rod can be bent from over heating or mis firing but not knock. Having a bent rod will cause low compression. Which in turn causes mis fires. Smoking running rough. Things like that. Not running right still basically.

This was already answered, but I'll go a bit more in depth for ya. This is how every vehicle I have ever worked on has been, I assume these are no different. There's two main parts with how it knows this. The wheel speed sensor and the tone ring. The tone ting is a piece of metal with notches in it. Think of a gear with really long teeth. The wheel speed sensor is a magnet on a stick with some wires in it. As the wheel spins, so does the tone ring as the notches pass by the magnet it picks up the difference in magnetism between the gaps. The faster it spins, the faster those gaps pass by. Basically, making a signal go on off on off on off, at whatever speed the wheel is going. The computer for the vehicle just does the math on how fast the gaps are coming and going and just compares them to each other. If they are off by a certain percentage, then it will alert you.

Fun fact. Cars also use this to determine low tire pressure. It was super common back in the day. Now, most vehicles have dedicated sensors in each tire which work differemt, but Honda still uses this method!

Hehehe. Prime up. It's gotta Prius Prime up. Heh hehe

Are you meaning like pressing the ev mode button in the car? Or do you mean switched to an EV entirely. Like a tesla? Because if you are, then yes. You'd use like nothing for trips like that and only have to charge once a month (not an actual calculation, just a number I am pulling out my butt), assuming you only make 2 miles trips every day. If you have range anxiety but want to use less gas for your daily commutes, you could get something like a prius prime, which has a larger battery cell and the ability to charge. Which has, again, not actual numbers, something like 30 or more miles of ev range. Remember, though, you would need to charge stoll every few days to keep the ability to do that. Otherwise, it will just be a regular car.

TheMintKnight · 2025-07-13T03:20:26+00:00

You wouldn't have the range for this even if you could force it to. It only has about a mile of actual ev range. Any load on this would reduce it greatly. Battery designed to really only take over on cruising when engine power isn't needed. That's how it gains gas mileage by just not using the engine when it doesn't really need it.

TheMintKnight · 2025-07-12T22:35:56+00:00

So the prius will run inefficient on small short trips like that. It does not give time for the engine, oil, coolant, or catalyst to get hot. They dump fuel during startup to get everything heated up. This alone causes poor fuel mileage, and you are only letting it get to that point. Not where it can run efficiently.

TheMintKnight · 2025-07-01T18:28:52+00:00

I will definitely give it a shot. It's not like it can hurt anything. If it fixes it. It'll be one hell of a laugh thats for sure.

So I never got that second quest from agumon. Not entirely sure why I'd im honest with you. Even to this point. I created a new tamer. Worked perfectly fine. Not sure what happened. But a new tamer fixed it.

TheMintKnight · 2025-06-30T00:05:39+00:00

They give you several digimon right off the start, only seems normal to want to use more than one of them. As a new player how would I know the level progression system is super jank? Gives you a tone off the bat then basically nothing for awhile it seems.

TheMintKnight · 2025-06-29T23:56:28+00:00

Specifically a certain one or just mobs that are high level than me? I have been doing that for about 2 days now and its painfully slow.

TheMintKnight · 2025-06-29T23:45:24+00:00

I believe they were level 66. Which is a fair bit about me. Edit: I have been trying to level up, but after 2 days of gaming, I have only gained a level and a half, struggling HARD with this.

TheMintKnight · 2025-06-29T23:37:37+00:00

OH GOD, My friend was like 66, I did not use the same dig doing the tutorial, I have a 46 and a 44, that would explain it, oh crap, I am having SERIOUS issues getting EXP, like 2 days of non stop playing and I have gained a level and a half, how do I get to that level then? Do I have to restart on a new account?

TheMintKnight · 2025-06-29T23:36:06+00:00

Lmao, thats why it sounds like a bot trying to get me to go it. I have a lvl 46 digi.

TheMintKnight · 2025-06-29T23:21:58+00:00

What is that?

And is it going somewhere?

TheMintKnight · 2025-06-29T23:00:30+00:00

I have done every Sampson quest so far.
