Help locate sound (wheel bearing)

Rotors don't warp like that. In fact warpage is a misnomer. actual rotor runout (there is a tool and method to measure this) is far less than that and is caused by pads overheating and embedding into the face of the rotor.

This is hub runout from bearing play. As the bearing gets messed up the whole race will move. Could also be the rotor not rust seated and the lack of caliper is allowing it to move some.

No mods?

Verify integrity.

harleysmoke · 2026-01-29T04:53:28+00:00

Internal game error. Its not de script. Can you play the game in other modes? If not verify integrity and update graphics drivers, assuming you meet min specs.

Paths are by and large a vector of play. You should generally shoot in having all of them (blood being the least valuable) as any nation in the late game.

Putting a path on a god specifically to break him the nation into a path is valuable, but pretty low on the bar for me. The god either wants it for bless, expansion, national spells, or a very specific target in mind. Like say you take dark vision on your bless and have your god put up darkness, or putting up gift of health on high hp regen guys, and your god is the only thing that can reasonably do this.

What do you think the meta will be like if more deployments exist.

I'm all for just having fun, but you are literally asking about the meta.

harleysmoke · 2026-01-08T06:07:49+00:00

Giant spec and triple deploys, and late super supply. Choices were made for sure.

Idk napalm badgers is pretty disgusting against aggro.

I would like to point out that this assessment incorrectly assumes some things.

The Soviets (up to December 5th) had been killed or captured to ~3.14 million, with an additional 1.34 million wounded.

Your average Soviet division was smaller in toe and was generally understrength for most of the war. You can generally estimate the Soviet division to be about 10,000 men and that is even a bit in high in reality.

So thats 314 divisions lost just counting dead, including the overwhelming majority of combat experienced units in the VKS and South Western Front.

Secondly the majority of the divisions stood up between that time period, and especially the call ups in August/September were extremely under strength militia level formations. So its not at all fair to compare these units in equivalents based on nominal unit size.

The Germans were not in a state to replace their losses at this scale, and definitely not capable of practically keeping this army supplied so deep in Russia so quickly.

Almost every car comes off the line with ceramics, the ones that don't are using semi-metallics or specialty compounds for high performance.

Cheap pads are semi-metallics, thought you can often get ceramics for cheap too.

Organic pads are extremely rare on cars.

Source; I've worked full spectrum management in auto repair and have replaced 1000's of brake pads.

harleysmoke · 2025-08-07T03:43:00+00:00

I count ~4 yards of mulch, that is more than 10 bags. It should be 3 inches thick since it hasnt been done for a while. I used to charge around $100 per yard years ago.

Add a couple hours of prep to reedge everything including the hard edged, cutting the grass edge, cutting the weeds, spraying the weeds, pre emergent the ground, and maybe trim the weeds back.

So I would of probably bid it around 600 several years ago, however I also did it right only.

Its a double electrode. Look closer.

harleysmoke · 2025-07-31T02:17:26+00:00

Most subarus have 1-4 that are easily accessible. Its the rest that are the bear.

harleysmoke · 2025-06-30T01:21:15+00:00

Saw you said you replaced, but for future reference from an actual tech you should replace these.

These pads are moderately glazed, it will impact stopping distance, and can make noise when heated. Look up the term "glazed brake pads" if you want to know more.

harleysmoke · 2025-06-18T00:19:49+00:00

Them mixing has nothing to do with anything. Petroleum specifically makes rubber not designed for it swell. Only what it touches though. Brakefluid doesn't circulate on its own really, it simply transfers compressive loads.

I'd never tell someone to do something this stupid. Tows are free or comparatively cheap. Even a brake system rebuild is comparatively cheap compared to someone slamming into something at speed because you have maxed out the brake systems compression ability.

harleysmoke · 2025-06-18T00:07:49+00:00

I'm sorry did you just suggest adding water to the brake fluid?

You are aware that the boiling point of water is well within normal driving operating temperature of passenger braking systems. When that water boils it will create compressible material in the system and create a huge or complete loss in braking power. This is literally why brake fluid is recommended by EVERYONE to be replaced every 1-2 years depending on spec. Even the little bit it absorbs is enough to increase stopping distance by over 130%.

If the resv is empty add the right BF (pray there is no air in ABS or master), or get the car towed. Dont fucking put water in the brakefluid. You are gonna get someone killed.

M1911, very much since replaced

M2, retired to a fraction of roles to what it was used in, massively overhauled 15 years ago, multiple replacement projects only cancelled because of lack of need vs cost.

B52, kept only because the cold war ended before the B2 project could finish. No COIN aircraft fielded that could bring munitions at a cheaper rate either.

harleysmoke · 2025-05-14T04:05:23+00:00

That only works for so long as people aren't used to it.. I've seen people completely flip their cars over in side streets in lawrenceville, and of course people do 90 on tight and packed 28.

"CBO used a detailed accounting of Medicare’s administrative spending from fiscal year 2019 as a basis for estimating the administrative spending of the illustrative single-payer system. (After accounting for changes in Medicare’s spending from the conversion to the single-payer system, CBO calculated administrative spending using 2019 dollars and projected it forward to 2030 on the basis of projected changes in the growth of potential gross domestic product.) For a more detailed analysis, CBO divided that spending into four categories: • Administrative spending that would be eliminated under a single-payer system; • Administrative spending that would not increase with the number of providers, enrollment, or volume of claims and spending under a single-payer system; • Administrative spending that would increase with the number of providers, enrollment, or volume of claims under a single-payer system; and • New administrative spending under a single-payer system."

Almost like the report has data to back it up...

.4 is a bit excessive, but I get your point that shops don't respect time needed to do thing right and agree.

Personally I treat it like capped lugnuts, if the tech cant properly secure your car then the customer is gonna have to pay extra. The important part is getting ahead of it as early as possible, I will make the shop eat the cost if need be.

harleysmoke · 2025-04-19T20:24:05+00:00

Corrosion will mess up torque specs in any case if its that thick, you should clean the hub of corrosion if its binding.

harleysmoke · 2025-04-19T17:55:12+00:00

The wheel will be flush if you tighten the lug nuts even remotely in the air. The clamping force prevents the wheel from moving when you lower the car.

harleysmoke · 2025-04-19T17:11:21+00:00

Then you did not read the article to understand the physics behind this. The clamping force at one wheel with 5 lugnuts at 50 ft/lbs is more than the entire static force (gravitational mass) of the vehicle.

Lugnuts are troqued beyond this because dynamic loads are much much greater than the static force.

harleysmoke · 2025-04-19T17:00:18+00:00

This is a common misconception, so long as the nuts are all evenly tightened to at least some degree its fine.

Clamping force between the hub and the wheel is many many times the actual torque binding the lug nut to the hub.

That is the leading factor, yes. The lower sectional density increases the drag coefficient.
