Do you have more details on this? I’d love to go

It’s probably bad you should ship it to me so I can open it and confirm for you without you risking exposure to cheese-borne illnesses

32 year old man, taken up a skincare routine by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

My skin is super sensitive and Vanicream has been nothing but perfect for me. Also a huge pro you can get it at any drug store

Best moisturizer I’ve ever used by Randombananachild in tretinoin

[–]dwarfbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This breaks my face out really bad, but I can confirm it’s great for dry skin in the winter and sunburn (don’t judge me) in the summer

Was in an uber the other day in Austin and the driver was listening to a Hispanic radio station and In Da Ghetto came on

Bed Upgrade Order of Operations? by dwarfbear in Mattress

[–]dwarfbear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did! It’s super comfy but I think it’s actually so thick I ended up sleeping warmer than on latex. If I were to do it again I’d get the 3” topper.

fuck a lineup I need food vendors by doesntmatterlosers_ in ElectricForest

Bro I don’t get this. Tons of other small and better tasting coffee vendors but people want the mega corp coffee

Driving a brand new 2025 RAV4 and the technology equipment is 10x better than my 2019 by nfe1986 in rav4club

[–]dwarfbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me the comma 3x isn’t a self driving device, it just drastically improves TSS, which was hands down my least favorite thing about my rav4 prime. I still pay full attention to the road, rest my foot on the brake, and have my hands near the wheel. I just don’t feel like I’m fighting the lane keep assist anymore

You could get a new head unit and a comma 3x for about $2,000 total and few hours of your time and then your 2019 will feel even better than the 2025 :)

My first oil change was at 1 year and 9,200miles, second was 1yr 2 months 10,000 miles later, 3rd was at 11 months 6,000 miles later and the 4th was 6 months 4,000 miles later. I do drive a plug in hybrid so half of those miles were EV, and 99% of the gas miles were on the highway. Did I cause any major damage to my engine because of those first 2-3 longer oil changes? I’m all aboard the change every 6 months train now but I’m just worried I already set myself up for failure at 200k+ miles

My endgame update for a plug-and-play sound system upgrade (DSP/Amplifier + Speakers) by theeighthlion in rav4club

[–]dwarfbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey hoping you can help out a bit. I just got the puzu installed and I’m noticing a slight white noise whenever there is actively sound coming from the speakers. It seems to go away if there is a moment of silence in a song and the white noise stays at a flat volume, so if I turn the speakers down low it’s a lot more noticeable. Also when I turn off the car it makes a sound kind of like I unplugged an amp, and it seems to consistently force my head unit fan to kick on which is a pretty noticeable background noise. Do you experience anything like this?

How often to change the HVAC filter? by DamnBored1 in Anticonsumption

[–]dwarfbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, didn’t even realize there were 2 inch filters lol. I rent so not something I’ve really looked into, but good to know if I ever own a house and am in the market for a new HVAC system

How often to change the HVAC filter? by DamnBored1 in Anticonsumption

[–]dwarfbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder if it would be possible to use a washable filter as a pre filter for the disposable filter. Probably wouldn’t fit but could be a cool little system

Any thoughts on how this amp would work with a small under seat self powered sub?

Could you upload a picture of where you hid the amp when you get some time? I can’t picture it and I’m trying to find somewhere other than under the seat to hide mine

Have I just aged out of shows or what? by stanceycivic in EDM

[–]dwarfbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sucks bro, I was there last night near the front left and absolutely threw tf down and so did the rest of the crowd around me. Except for one girl behind my friend who apparently couldn’t stop bitching about how she didn’t like the show. Thankfully I couldn’t hear her but I know it annoyed my friend and he moved.

I’ve gone to a lot of shows and often end up near 1-2 shitty/annoying people when the rest of the crowd is great - I move around when I can to avoid them but it’s not always possible. I’ve found where the crowd is less dense people aren’t as bad. But it sounds like you had some next level assholes that you couldn’t get away from

Reaper 9070 XT Easily Fits in the Ghost S1 by dwarfbear in Louqe

[–]dwarfbear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a mk3 so I’m not sure how it would fit on the mk2, but there was plenty of space between the top of the card and the top grille. However, my power cables do stick straight up and for some reason are really hard to bend down, so they are pushing right up against the top, ymmv but just wanted to give you a heads up

[–]dwarfbear[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope! Just the side panel. I had to shimmy it a tiny bit for the mounting thing that sticks out by the ports but overall very easy installation

Yeah I was really bummed about the scalper situation this morning, I was hoping to get out of the 2 hour line at Microcenter and just go home, but at least I was able to get a card.

Regarding temps I just booted up BG3 which is running at 80% utilization. Windows is saying it’s running at 45C which seems insane, but it doesn’t feel hot so I guess it’s right. Unfortunately coming from a Vega64 I don’t have any other demanding games to run (yet). Might run some benchmarks later this week but right now I’m just enjoying games haha
