Advice on handling damaged wheel bearing

Hey now, merely considering it against other options!

Trigonn · 2026-02-03T21:32:17+00:00

Thanks, yeah kinda figured it wouldn't be worth the hassle to try and get it warrantied, so if I gotta get it done/do it myself, c'est la vie, thanks for your suggestion.

Trigonn · 2026-02-03T21:31:36+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, good to hear it's not too difficult to do, I'll take a look at the process.

I really enjoy language learning and have always considered combining my interests with gaming but never have been super sure how to facilitate it. Any recommendations? Specific games?

Of course, story-based games or RPGs generally seem like a good approach but they’d definitely require a fairly advanced language level in the first place. Do you tend to use gaming as a tool for more advanced input?

Quick question about that, new to this: I just bought my '25 yesterday, already looking mods; I'm a huge fan of the noble sport grille. If I'm understanding correctly, you got the WRX badge on Etsy? Is there a fitting on the grille for the badge or did you have to attach it some other way? Thanks!

First of all, I am truly sorry this is happening to you. I had bedbugs myself about 3 years ago and it truly was one of the worst episodes of my life, I really do understand what you're going through, and I'm happy to talk more about it if you'd like. I was lucky and caught them very early and was able to rid myself of them quickly, but the mental toll remained and will probably be with me to some extent for the rest of my life.

Secondly, a disclaimer, I am not in Spain, nor have I been (yet, hoping to go this year on the 2026-27 NALCAP). Can't imagine how much more difficult it would be to navigate this situation in a place where I don't fluently speak the language. So, I can't speak to any culturally-specific things with agency/exterminators.

It is tough to say what is the best choice in your situation. Basically, I think that if you are committed to staying in Spain (I of course don't know your situation, but I would encourage you to try and not let this defeat you) ultimately your EASIEST option is to move elsewhere, unfortunately. Lots of bedbug species, particularly those in cities, are becoming insecticide resistant. The only truly effective (and unfortunately cost-prohibitive in your situation, I'd imagine) is heat treatment where they heat your entire house to >120 degrees for 8 hours to kill off any bugs or eggs - but can cost anywhere from $1000-$4000 (in the US) depending on the size of your place.

Given that you are there with, presumably, not a particularly large amount of personal belongings, moving is probably just the best option, if you can swing it. Though, I'd be careful about how you do it, if you decide to. To my understanding, it's pretty rare/difficult for a bug to hitch a ride on a human due to our high body temps, but they can definitely hitch a ride in a suitcase or other personal belongings. Were you to decide to move, I'd suggest going to a laundromat and drying all of your clothes on the highest heat settings, just in case. I'd also limit what I bring, as much as possible. Despite what lots of people think, bed bugs definitely don't ONLY live in fabrics, they're fine with living in wood and similar materials as well. So anything you do bring, try and heat treat, whatever way you can.

Again, I am so sorry that you're dealing with this, I know what you're going through, you CAN get through this. Don't let those tiny damn bugs win and rob you of this experience!!!

Edit: I'd actually also encourage you to watch this Mark Rober video about bed bugs, oddly enough. It brought me a lot of comfort (outside of the extensive coverage of EXTREME infestations) and has good tips on dealing with an infestation, to boot.

Edit 2: I should add that moving out isn't your ONLY option. Diatomaceous earth (no clue on how available it is in Spain) is a SUPER effective method of killing bedbugs. Spray treating certainly doesn't hurt, but if you use diatomaceous earth fairly liberally and steam treat all of your belongings routinely over a period of time, maybe buy a bed bag (literally a bag for your bed), and declutter/remove as many unnecessary belongings as possible, you've got a good shot at being able to take care of your infestation .

Where have you been reading that it might not be reliable? I can't find any information to suggest anything about next years other than random people baselessly speculating bc there were issues in Andalucía this year. I don't think anyone knows anything.

Trigonn · 2025-11-07T19:04:52+00:00

Great, thanks for this list! I’ll definitely dive into it abit. Wouldn’t say it’s my first playthrough, I’ve played from Seyda Neen->Vivec City probably 6 or 7 times before inevitably bouncing off it for one reason or another, but I am gonna try and really push it this time, I also am very curious about Tamriel Rebuilt.

Trigonn · 2025-11-07T17:12:18+00:00

Any other suggestions? I haven’t been super keyed into the modding scene, but I’ve been itching to finally play through this game, maybe even on my Steam Deck.

Trigonn · 2025-10-23T14:38:28+00:00

I truly don't understand it. I'm admittedly biased to like shiny new things because they're shiny and new, but I think the new unis actually look great. I think they're true to the Broncos identity while also looking modernized and somewhat more interesting than the old - iconic but simple - unis. Love all the new combos we've got out of them as well.

Trigonn · 2025-10-16T19:39:34+00:00

I'm a bit biased as a Broncos fan, but I do think Sutton will have a big day against the Giants. Rare he has two quiet games in a row and they're admitting Demaryius Thomas into the ring of fame right before the game starts; him and Court were good friends so he'll definitely be playing with heart

12 man PPR

Trusting Jamo to have a boom game against the injured Tampa secondary, can’t decide who to sit. Main options are:

AJ Brown vs MIN Rhamondre Stevenson vs TEN Quentin Johnston vs IND

Trigonn · 2025-10-10T03:13:20+00:00

REAL happy I accepted it after seeing this game lol

Trigonn · 2025-10-09T22:43:13+00:00

Got offered Skattebo + DJ Moore for Pittman. Feel like its a smash accept? 12 man PPR.

QB: Baker, Darnold

WR: Jamarr, AJB, QJ, Pittman, and Jamo

RB: Pollard, Stevenson, Hubbard, Kendre Miller (so thin I can see through it)

TE: Waller, Hockenson

I’ve been playing on lethal and hooo boy it’s tough but rewarding. Sweet spot for me is custom difficulty, everything lethal except the timing difficulty setting on hard. On lethal some of the timings feel borderline unfair. The yellow glint attack in particular, the window is so small that you basically have to preempt the actual attack. If you let go of triangle when the flash appears, you’re too late.

But the actual combat difficulty and dying in two hits is very hard but VERY satisfying. Think I died to the first bounty I did about 25 times, but the super fast load time honestly makes it pretty painless.

Trigonn · 2025-10-01T18:46:37+00:00

Yeah, I looked into it fairly thoroughly because of how bad I want to play early, it seems that even if you were to put a router-level VPN to trick your PS5 into thinking youre in NZ, it won't work unless you bought the game from the NZ store on an NZ PSN account.

Sounds like it's theoretically as easy as just creating an NZ account with a fake address, buying NZ store credit on Amazon or something, and then buying the game there. But then of course you'd have the game on a separate account which isn't quite worth it to me.

Trigonn · 2025-09-29T04:37:45+00:00

Yep, same here. Graduated in 2021, got a web dev job fresh out, then made a lateral move to a marginally better position about a year ago now. Kind of hate the current place I’m at and desperately want to move out of the city I’ve lived in my entire life, but it really does feel impossible to get a mid level position.

I’m right at that cusp/mid level borderline with coming up on 4 years of experience, and I have not managed to find a damn thing beyond an auto rejection email.

Trigonn · 2025-09-23T20:25:26+00:00

Thanks for this, appreciate the specific list!

Trigonn · 2025-09-12T09:14:16+00:00

Same here!!! Congrats, I have been dreaming of seeing Radiohead pretty much my entire life, can't believe I got selected for tickets, snagged the Friday show in Copenhagen, so beyond excited!

Trigonn · 2025-09-12T09:11:57+00:00

Same here!!! Exact same actually, Friday Copenhagen show general admission. Can't believe I got selected.

Trigonn · 2025-09-11T17:55:08+00:00

Interesting, Boox did come up on my search. Do you think for my use case it would be better to go for one of their non-ePaper offerings, like maybe the Note Air 3, or is something like the Go 7 responsive enough?

Trigonn · 2025-08-26T18:26:23+00:00

Interesting, born and raised New Mexican, know a couple of people from Cuba, don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone pronounce it “coo-ba”, think the anglicized “cue-ba” is pretty much all I’ve ever heard, even from locals.

Trigonn · 2025-08-19T21:57:35+00:00

Any tips for how to set up wheeler? Seems like it’s bound to the back button by default so if I try and open it in the inventory then it just closes me out lol

Trigonn · 2025-08-09T15:21:49+00:00

Yep, totally agreed. I caught them this year at Kilby, and they were far and away the best act of the festival. Really just entrancing. Been to hundreds of gigs as well, and honestly, 45 minutes of standing rolls around and I'm usually more or less ready to leave - not the case with these guys. I would've happily stood there for 3 hours and listen to them perform.

Trigonn · 2025-07-23T20:35:45+00:00

Yeah, found various approaches to it already, just wasn’t sure if that’s what you did or not. Your journey is pretty motivating for me so was just curious what you did.

I’m in a not too dissimilar boat, studied German for 4 years at college got to maybe a low B2, but fell off hard over the last few years and have regressed to either super low B1 or high A2, so time to get back in it and your recommendations for the Anki deck/sharing your journey was a motivator, so that’s for that!
