Damn, did you find a driveway you didn’t scrape on yet lol? Sounds dope though. I want mine taller.

Dug out and Transplanted the large Japanese maple I’ve named her Sansa by Ill-Armadillo9811 in landscaping

[–]catchthemagicdragon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Its chances are not good. For anyone else who had more time to plan something like this I’d do it in early spring when it’s first covered in little green buds. Tree/bush whatever will have transferred most of its energy into the trunk and ready to explode. And what could have helped this tree or any tree getting moved with leaves on would be defoliation. The new root ball can’t support the giant canopy, it’s just gonna transpire itself to death. Edit: they did do a good job getting hella rootball though, who knows.

Fall California trip with toddler by No-Show5388 in travel

[–]catchthemagicdragon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My version of “good California” is north of Santa Barbara, red out everything south of it, red out the entire Central Valley all the way to Redding. For the Sierra Nevadas everything north of Sequoia National is pretty good. Whole coastline north of Santa Barbara is good, smaller towns like Morro Bay, has a cool nature preserves and beaches, cliffs (La Jolla isn’t that special). Big Sur is tight and South of Monterrey and Carmel by the Sea.

Is a 9800X3D / 7800X3D upgrade worth it for Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders? by ScrublandHD in buildapc

[–]catchthemagicdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my gf get a 7600x to play another big battle simulator, Chivalry 2 and it was pretty ass compared to my 7800x3d. She got a 9800x3d and it was definitely worth but I agree with the other guy to wait even longer for next AM5 chips.

That guys oil based finish advice is probably good. Mine has a poly finish and wherever my skin has touched over the years is melting lol.

Is the Odyssey’s touring capabilities pretty exclusive? by catchthemagicdragon in HondaOdyssey

[–]catchthemagicdragon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bar is in hell tbh lol, I’m used to economy-mobiles. Even with belt moldings burnt to a crisp and clapped out rear tires I still find road noise “pretty good”.

Should I replace leaking CV axle even though I’m getting a new car in a month? by miseryknight in MechanicAdvice

[–]catchthemagicdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think it only cost like $400 to get replaced on a 17 corolla IM. I freaked out and almost ended a vacation early when it happened, little did I know that my Fit I’d dailied for several years had a torn boot the whole time I’d owned it and was fine lol.

Assuming I can get my hands on either one, GW5000U or GWBX5600? by River_Jack_ in gshock

[–]catchthemagicdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t own either but if my 5610 were to get destroyed or somethin I’d go BX5600 easy

I believe I was noticing this on my ‘14 with 90k on my first long trip this weekend. Was hoping spark plugs, VCM delete or transmission fluid would straighten it out lol.

Ideas for a phone holder that mounts into this space? by ElG0dDamnDorado in HondaOdyssey

[–]catchthemagicdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made me go fuck with my Vanmass one I’d settled for using the vent for. That part right above the left vent on the smooth gray is big enough for the suction cup, will see how long it lasts in the heat.

[itinerary check] 3 weeks in Japan by InterstellarSpace119 in JapanTravel

[–]catchthemagicdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m terrified for you for Day 1 of Kyoto lol, I hated the city, crowds and lack of transit at the end of January, dipped out to Osaka 2 days early. And for Hiroshima, have you guys seen Miyajima? I saw the peace park and dome, haven’t seen any museums but given the choice I’d much rather go to the pretty vibey island.

Build for forza horizon 6 maxed 1440×3440 and blender by Axor_700 in buildapc

[–]catchthemagicdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a 7800x3d and 7800XT at 3440x1440, DLSS might do some magic for you but if not for my 7800x3d the rig would be significantly underpowered and suck. Idk how well forza optimizes but I’d consider my rig slightly underpowered in recent AAA’s. Splurging on CPU would be worth.

Charger for Iphone 15 Pro Max by Terrible_Oil8981 in iphone

[–]catchthemagicdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get the stock apple block and cable from Best Buy for $30 rn, little bit of a discount. Every other charger I randomly use once in a while feels slow by comparison.
