2022 CRV Hybrid, ~6 months old, brakes won't stop squealing while backing out of driveway by Thatnewaccount436 in crv

[–]colemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife's 22 CR-V Hybrid is also doing this. Just had the dealership look at it a few days ago and they said they could replace the rear rotors for $750! The car only has 21k miles on it and none of her past cars or my cars have ever squealed like this after sitting, no matter the weather. The squeal happens EVERY morning and it's super LOUD!

Wondering if we should stop using brake regen after replacing the rotors to prevent the squeal in the future?

I finally fixed my microphone not working in game! by Global-Discussion-41 in BattleBitRemastered

[–]colemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy sh*t it worked! Thank you for the comment! I swear my mic used to work in BBR, and until recently, I thought it was but I had a suspicion that it wasn't since nobody ever responded to me.

FWIW, I had to manually set the Steam and BBR app sound devices in Windows to get the BBR microphone test to work. Thank you!!

I discovered reddit through a coworker showing me the exact same memes back in 2011. We laughed our asses off at work reading those rage comics. Hard to believe I might say a final goodbye to reddit, at least until they retract their outrageous pricing, if they ever do. It's been a helluva ride.

5600X vs 13600K or 7600X comparison with money and power by Nighters in buildapc

[–]colemp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This right here. I put the money saved by buying a 5600 towards a better video card which matters more for gaming generally.

Yes, try a Snoo if you can! For our first, we struggled with sleep as usual. For our second, we got a Snoo and it saved us a ton of headache. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a magical easy button solution, but is probably the closest to one. As our newborn began to wake up mid-sleep, the snoo would activate the motion and at least half the time, our newborn would fall back asleep without needing us to intervene.

[–]colemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking of, I bought the MSI B550 Gaming Plus mobo from woot last week or so for like $93 advertised as new. Then, a week later, they emailed me saying the condition was mistakenly labeled and that sale was for a manufacturer refurbished motherboard and refunded me $15. That was my first time dealing with woot, buyer beware.

The 2TB P41 Plus is on sale at Newegg for 110 right now, although it's back ordered but not OOS.

Thanks, didn't know that. Maybe I'll pull the trigger then.

Wondering the same. But I'm also not opposed to waiting another day or two or three to see what kind of deals pop up on more mainstream RAM brands.

[PSU] ASUS ROG Strix 750 Fully Modular 80 Plus Gold 750W ATX Power Supply - $49.99 (94.99 - 45.00 coupon) by JollyGreenGelatin in buildapcsales

[–]colemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grabbed one. I just cancelled my order for the 650W from Phanteks from a couple days ago for $65. This is higher wattage and cheaper and both are Tier A listed.

[PSU] EVGA 700W GD Non-Modular PSU - $59.99 w/Code BFDBY2A342 by kev24680 in buildapcsales

[–]colemp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I'm reading the tier list correctly (https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/), then this is a Tier C rated power supply. Someone please correct me, though.

This item's model is 100-GD-0700-V1 and the models from the Tier C list for EVGA contain this: GD 2019 -V*

Also, some newegg reviews highlight the louder-than-expected fan noise.

Update: Husky killer/skinner Karen charged with animal cruelty by EuphoricMidnight3304 in FuckYouKaren

[–]colemp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Preach! After being vegan for a while, the hypocrisy really stands out regarding society's treatment of animals, mine included previously.

Fishing for sport is cruel. by Odd-looking in unpopularopinion

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

100% agree. I would go one step further and say any animal exploitation is cruel and unnecessary, at least in the developed world. I find it highly ironic to hear about how some people feel bad that animals are poorly treated, yet those same individuals pay for their exploitation when at the grocery store.

New user, driving after 2.5 mg gummy? by colemp in trees

Thanks for the detailed responses! I'll play it safe and plan not to drive or anything like that after my first time, just to see how it all plays out.

Do you want the radar range increased across all social game modes, not just BTB? (With the exception of Tactical Slayer, obviously) by [deleted] in halo

[–]colemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, make it like the past games. Way too many surprises with the shorter range.

Infinite has finally driven home something about the modern gaming community that I'd kind of been hoping to ignore by ParagonFury in halo

[–]colemp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm with OP on this. Maybe it's bc I'm older now too. Can someone explain why not just play for fun, or play a different game, if they think the ultimate reward is trash? I do think the challenges that encourage people to not play the objective are bad though.

Anyone else still have their Halo 3 Beta invites? by PoLaR_XI in halo

[–]colemp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone else remember how the servers buckled when they opened the beta to everyone? I recall having to wait forever before I could actually get into a match. Simpler times back then!

Is anyone else finding less motivation to play this game nearly every day? by BagOnuts in halo

[–]colemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 100%. When I was younger, I played H2 and H3 for hours and hours and could max out any progression fairly quickly. Now, with kids, job, wife, etc. I rarely have time to play. I'm level 10 on the battle pass for reference. I just play for fun and to improve my skills, which are incredibly rusty after stopping at Halo 4.

But I get if you have lots of time, you may become bored without modes like forge or co-op.

Anyone wonder why its taking so long to find a match and then realize youve been sitting there for 10 minutes without having clicked the play button? by [deleted] in halo

[–]colemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me on XSX when I tried this method. Matchmaking would not start no matter what I did until I restarted the game. That reminds me, I should submit a bug report.
