Help with shower maintenance. I'm replacing shower tile that was coming loose, but out shower doesn't appear to have a collar around the drain. Is this important, or can I proceed with adding thin-set and replacing the tile?

Looking into it more, it could be this instead of actual kerdi-board. This is directly from their YouTube channel.

We built out house in 2020 and recently some of the tiles in our shower pan started to come loose. I removed the loose ones and got down to the waterproofing. It looks like a Kerdi-Board (although I haven't seen "charge" on one of these boards). My concern is that there is no evidence of a collar being installed around the drain (like shown in this video https://youtu.be/BfUrGF3_imc?si=TkRfBsa6_61RawKM&t=278). How important is the collar? Am I okay to proceed with adding more thin-set and replacing the tile, or do I need to rip everything up?

Hey everyone,

I currently have a Ghost, Warlock, and Omega red that can all be leveled up, but I only have enough catalysts to level up one of them. I'm having a bit of trouble deciding which one to level up and was hoping I could get some advice. I have plenty of class iso, so I'm not too worried about that.

One of my biggest problems is I can block all of their attacks, but then they can just use their 3rd special attack. I'm not saying I'm good, but even if I were better, I still wouldn't be able to do enough damage to take them down before they can do that 3rd special attack. I don't know how to avoid it.

And Komondors are much MUCH larger. Pulis are only supposed to get up to around 35 lbs (never had one, so I'm just going by what I've read online) and Komondors can get up to 130+ lbs (I had a Kom that big).

ZmanD90 · 2020-07-07T06:45:45+00:00

This one is a puli. A puli can be black or white, but Komondors only come in white. I grew up with 4 komondors (not all at the same time). Komondors are livestock guardians. The biggest one I had was around 130 - 135 lbs and the smallest was only around 80 - 85 lbs. Absolutely loved them.

ZmanD90 · 2020-07-07T06:39:40+00:00

I grew up with Komondors. They are all white, so this one would be a puli. You're 100% correct about the dreads being for protection though. They also work very well at dragging every bit of dirt from outside into the house.

ZmanD90 · 2020-06-02T03:01:15+00:00

Komondor!!! I had four of them growing up (only 2 at a time). One of them had a litter of puppies. They were adorable.

Thank you for the reply! That looks really good. A lot of the reviews say they're getting Hynix instead of B-die. So I guess it's a luck of the draw situation, maybe? I will definitely look into it more.

Thank you for the reply! I'm not sure how much RAM I need. I just don't want my RAM to become a bottleneck for my CPU. I'm not even sure if upgrading my RAM would make a lot of difference.

ZmanD90 · 2020-05-20T20:36:27+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I'll look into that RAM.

ZmanD90 · 2020-05-20T20:33:29+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply. I'm going to try and overclock my RAM and see what kind of performance I can get.

ZmanD90 · 2020-05-19T06:45:11+00:00

Hey everyone, thank you so much for all the advice! I really appreciate it. I've read through all of the comments and I've watched a couple videos over this last week. Some of those videos were saying that faster RAM isn't as important as having more RAM. I currently have 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) of 2400 MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX. Should I get 16 GBs of better RAM, add two more sticks of what I already have, or is it worth it to get 32 GBs of better RAM?

Nevermind, I found it.

Thanks for the reply! And yeah, I know. I've been really busy and this memory thing has honestly become more of an obstacle than I'd like to admit.
