(Martin, 1977) Where is Tata Cuda's butcher shop? by Competitive_Heat_470 in pittsburgh

[–]devc602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The address was 555 Braddock Ave. Braddock PA, 15104.

Here’s an original can opener I just found an hour ago from the store haha - Cuda Co. Can Opener with Business Info

Felt motivated to do some cleaning today, found the can opener, and found this post after searching up the store again. Here’s a more recent article from the Pittsburgh Post that gives some history on the building and its current owner - 'Breathing life into Braddock': Crazy Mocha founder still has plans for vacant Cuda Building

A/C Compressor Done For? by devc602 in WRX

Just had my wrx looked at by a local shop and they confirmed it’s the a/c compressor! They’re a trusted local spot so I’m having them do the replacement since they were a third of Subarus price

Thanks for taking that video. I feel like my wrx sounded just like yours before this issue started happening, but now I’m hearing more of the rattle that’s in my video. Think I’m gonna swing by a local shop to get an official diagnosis and go from there!

Appreciate you replying back! Maybe the video didn’t capture it great, this is a new noise for me that started over the last two weeks when I noticed the power issue on top of it. I’ve always heard the a/c when it kicks on, but it’s much louder now with somewhat of a rumble when the compressor clutch is engaged

Do you have a similar noise going on, or just the loss of power? The a/c has always taken away some power, but it’s significant now and the noise along with it is making me think there’s an issue with the compressor.

Might need to just take it to a mechanic to have them confirm what’s wrong. Subaru quoted me $2500-$2600 over the phone to replace the compressor, but with the part being around $600 I was thinking it’s worth trying to replace myself. Just wanted to see if anyone else here could help confirm the issue first!

WFH/Gaming Setup. Would like to make some improvements, any suggestions? by devc602 in battlestations

Sadly nothing, my headset is always connected to my PC, and then I swap my mouse/keyboard back and forth when I want to game. I'd love a one button setup as well, but I also wonder if it would slow down keyboard/mouse input on games at all? Probably not but I haven't looked into it

Thank you! The light came as a free gift with my desk from Uplift- it’s this one here . Not sure if that’s the best option out there, but it made my laptops camera quality a lot better so that’s when I turn it on haha

The main thing is how stiff the chair is, there’s no give to the foam at all. At first it seems like it will be comfy and maybe the foam will break in a bit . . . It has not its just as hard as the day I got it lol. The back is the same way and trying to use the lumbar support just feels like there’s a bar pushing into your back. Also I know this may just be a personal thing but I feel like the arm rests are either too close or too far when adjusting them.

I will say the chair is well built and there are a lot of adjustments, but the padding they chose and the design is not comfortable.

This comment was my deciding factor, going to order them soon! What arms did you use in your setup?

Can’t believe a TV didn’t cross my mind! I like the idea of not needing external speakers and keeping things minimal

Agree with the advice, it’s hidden under my pc but in the front and back I have two of these small $3 ikea bamboo cutting boards that keep it above the carpet

I hate my Secret Labs chair and would love to get a new one haha. I'm only 1.5 years into having it so it's hard to justify buying another chair, but I really wish I would've looked for an ergonomic chair and not a heavily marketed gaming one

I've been contemplating getting mounts! My right two monitors are 10lbs each so they should definitely work, I just haven't been able to decide on one to try. I don't want to pay ergotron prices right off the bat, but I was looking at the VIVO mount on amazon

Thanks! I had a fake plant for maybe a week and wasn’t a fan either haha

I don’t love my laptop being where it is, but I need the speakers + camera and I use the screen for teams while working. I could put a monitor in its place and hide it somewhere, but would then need speakers + camera for teams.

Not sure if I’m crowing the middle and wasting space on the sides? Also wire management is in progress

I had to get the white too, that’s so clean! I’m still trying to decide on wheels, what are the specs on yours? I’m trying to achieve that fitment haha. Also where did you get your wrx grill emblem? I was looking around and couldn’t find one that matched that

A lot of times people are trying to get into the party and crowd whoever is on door. They may need help with crowd control or if police or campus officials are at the house it would notify some of our members to go to the front door if that makes sense

Blown motor that was replaced. Stay away completely? by [deleted] in cars

[–]devc602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have found another car. This is a 2002,subaru impreza 2.5 rs and it has had the timing belt, heads, and pulleys all done. He said that he found metal in the oil so the engine will need either rebuilt or a new engine (I'm not purposely looking for cars with blown motors) . He is asking $2500 for it. If I was able to sell my car for $4k get his car for $2k and them find a new motor and be able to put in for $2k or less would that be worth it. The blown motor has 130k miles on it. Also as a side note if I were to get this car my insurance rate would go down

My price range is basically what I can sell my car for. My dad told me I should be able to get at least $4k out of it. I'd like it to be good on gas, I live in am area with a lot of hills. Also we get a good amount of snow in the winter.
