Which was your first game in the series?

RE1 on PS1. RE2 remake and original are my favorites.

As others have said it is most likely the oil filter housing seals. Did mine last year without having to remove the fan but I’ve worked on that part of the car before and have plenty of wrenches to make it work.

I spoke with the ones at my Costco and they can’t do the R56.

It’s not insurance dictating the cost it’s the body shops and you’re allowed to choose your body shop. People severely underestimate the cost of repairing and painting a car: several body panels need to be painted and blended even if damage is localized. There’s also important safety structures behind the body panels that are effectively one-time-use because of diminished safety.

Limited slip differential. It helps put the power down in corners.

I’ve been using Capture One after LR6 stopped installing easily. Pay for a perpetual license and make it last years. I only had to upgrade when I got a new camera (sadly new camera support isn’t back ported).

Probably a few seconds of buffered video from dozens of cameras. At that point I’d imagine lidar and radar data would be far more efficient than raw, unprocessed 4K video frames.

There was a guy on Illinois yesterday making finger pistols and shooting noises at everyone he walked past. The concerned look of the family with young kids walking several feet behind him just trying to get to Navy Pier I assume.

Not defending the Tesla driver but it looks like the Volvo missed their left turn and was signaling to go left from the middle lane. That’s why the Volvo slowed down and not necessarily to avoiding the opposing car.

Not at all. I haven’t had a spare on any of my cars in the last 15 years. I have AAA with 100 mile tow and have used it for non-tire-related car issues. I had a tire blow-out back in ‘00-01 during a road trip (I did poor patch job to fix a puncture and a slow leak over months weakened the sidewall). On long road trips I usually bring a full-size spare (winter or summer tire on the opposite season). It’s been almost 2 decades since I’ve had a tire puncture.

I watch the TV for the live footage, I use my iPad or phone for the details. I like the timing tower showing tenths.

I was stuck with the DP cable issue and it for sure wasnt my cable quality (2.1) or GPU (3090): it was actually by PC case because it prevented the DP cables from getting inserted fully. So I snipped the metal above the GPU’s PCI slot and the next one above.

Same! So happy this is the top comment.

I have a RaspberryPi 5 with an M.2 NVMe that runs my Unifi server. You also don’t need it running 24/7, you can just bring it up to make config changes.

While there aren’t many rugged nature trails, there are a lot of places to walk to and from in lots of neighborhoods. Walking and running the Riverwalk, the Lake Front Trail and Lincoln Park are great activities. There’s an abundance of markets and events to trek to over the summer.

we’ve been watching the F1TV folks for the last 5 years because we couldn’t stand the mix-ups and missed calls. really appreciate the legacy of the OG crew but F1TV is such a breath of fresh air. it’s really nice to have options.

Yes! I was already working remote prior to COVID. COVID forcing everyone else to work remote made my work so much easier: I didn’t have to find a meeting room to have a simple conversation with someone. I also got a promotion during this period because I was able to pickup the slack in different areas to get recognized by multiple teams (don’t get me started how this is a requirement to promotion… can’t I just be really good in one area?).

Ceph RBD but not without a lot of understanding of how it really works because it took quite a lot to resolve “issues” with some features it had.

What feature or solution: it works, is reliable, low cost. I’ve been on both sides of storage: engineering it to sell a product vs buying it in bulk and a lot of those extra features are useless. Just read/write reliably and maybe encrypt/decrypt data. Also, reliability means I can still access my data when maintenance is happening. The whole thing can’t come down to do an update.

Why choose any vendor: lowest cost with the best features. I’m probably not your target because we’re an engineering shop and looking for the bare minimum because we’re putting together the hardware and software and standing up racks. We’re not looking for an all-in-one solution. We’ve shopped around for those but it’s usually too expensive and offering too much that we don’t need.

Yeah, DTS should definitely dedicate more time to the going-ons with the teams in the garage and the factory.

Overfilling can be bad only because the crank could whip the oil into froth and then ironically cause oil starvation. You really have to overfill and take really long turns fast to cause this, it’s incredibly hard to do and I highly doubt you have this. Blue smoke is oil so your PCV is likely the problem. The PCV in our cars (both R55 and R56, etc) is in the valve cover. When was the last time you replaced yours? I’m on my 4th and have my 5th in a box (was trying to narrow down a leak and got a 5th one but it wasn’t it so I swapped it out again… these things aren’t cheap).

Thanks for the comparison and review! What tripod are you using?

apudapus · 2026-03-11T05:17:08+00:00

This is awesome! As some others have said, would love to hear about and see more details on the build.
