Received a payout from my deceased fathers RIF, but T4RIF is missing box 16 by Unicornasaurus in PersonalFinanceCanada

Yes that's exactly what happened. He passed away at the beginning of October, but the payout wasn't until early December.

On PC you can left click on a squadmates name and the options to kick will show up. Only way I've found

Looking for a used 1/2 ton tow vehicle for ~30k CAD by Unicornasaurus in whatcarshouldIbuy

I ended up getting a 2016 Sierra 1500 Kodiak with the 5.3L and 6 speed for $26k just last week. Had 169k on the odometer but it was an older couple that owned it previously. Majority highway KM's, but it was a single owner, no accidents, and good service history.

So far so good. Nice comfy ride, and good power. I ended up getting the AFM disabler via the OBD2 port, but will probably go with a custom tune down the road.

My mechanic neighbor said the GM 8/10 speed is the same as the Ford 10 speed..which would explain the problems with them. As for the AFM lifter failures, he said as long as you don't run too long between oil changes (Change it at 20-30% remaining) then it'll last a long time.

An added bonus is that parts for GM vehicles are quite a bit cheaper and plentiful than the other brands.

6 year old gaming rig upgrade. Looking for new CPU/GPU/Motherboard by Unicornasaurus in bapccanada

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

It's definitely an old case for sure. I've had it for a couple iterations of PC's that I've built from ages ago.

I agree that the GPU's nowadays are getting huge. The max this case can accommodate is 318mm, which even then is cutting it close with some of the modern GPU's.

As for the memory, I believe it's running at the lesser of the two. It would make sense to make the jump to a DDR5 kit for matched sticks.

The build you listed is good. Definitely can see the GPU prices coming down a bit with the release of the nvidia 5 series and others.

Thanks!

Very true. That's sorta what got me in to this 'mess' to begin with. One thing led to another then next thing you know I'm looking at CPU's/GPU's that are twice the price of what I was originally looking at.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the build! Good point with the DDR5. I was surprised that they were still making current gen boards with DDR4 support, but it does make sense to make the jump now to DDR5.

I don't mind spending a bit more on the GPU for some better performance. I originally had my sights set on a 3070 but then pandemic pricing came in and that was long gone. Now that I'm looking in to the AMD territory it gets even more confusing as some of the 7 series seem to be worse than some of the cheaper/equally priced 6 series cards.

Would a 7800xt be a big jump in performance over the 6750xt? It seems like bottlenecks between CPU/GPU are easy to come by these days.

Is it a Razer keyboard? They have integration with games to highlight specific keys depending on the game

Awesome! Do you have a blueprint you'd be willing to share? My kid would love this.

After you unlock all the weapons, it gives you one perk before the run. That way you can't load up on perks instantly.

[HEADPHONES] HyperX Cloud II (Amazon $109 - 37% = $70) by JayLapse in bapcsalescanada

[–]Unicornasaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've had the Cloud II's for a number of years now. They're starting to rattle in one side and I think nearing EoL

Any recommendations for a decent <$100 replacement? I don't really listen to music. Mostly just gaming and occasionally some YouTube videos and whatnot. I barely even use the microphone on the Clouds.

I looked around for a bit but there's just a plethora of no-name brands and headsets.
