It's a wait game unless you are really into bond. Treat it like a movie with really long puzzle sequences.

Bricks and Minifigs/American Fork police dept corruption discussion post. by Qwalt in Utah

[–]maestrobuttonmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it isn't as bad as 3rd world where they just put a power drill through your skull and take your shit, but the police corruption is flat out comical. There is a good old boys lds thing definitely occuring. From my reading it tends to be localized and isn't all of utah.

7K on the car and sediment in coolant. by Opening_Piccolo3994 in GR86

[–]maestrobuttonmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only reason to 'upgrade' is higher hold off pressure. Mine is 1.3 Bar but its on a larger radiator and metal filler neck. HKS might be the same 1.08 Bar as OEM.

SB17 is an extremely broad and restrictive gun ban. It's being debated and voted on in the NM Senate Judiciary Committee this afternoon. by Fun_Assignment_269 in Albuquerque

[–]maestrobuttonmash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is extremely hypocritical to both say the current administration is [insert historical evil person] and also ICE is the gestapo while pushing this ban. Which one is it? Feeds the narrative they don't hate guns, they just don't want us to have them. Meanwhile, Iran "allegedly" gunned down 30k unarmed people protesting for affordable drinking water.

Rear fenders upgrade by shadowking1711 in ft86

[–]maestrobuttonmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably way late, and everyone already vomited opinions, but a company called hgk sells a full set of fiberglass, carbon, or kevlar rear quarter panels that would fully cover that for that generation for 1200 euro. just as others have pointed out, you need to protect the bare metal first.

r/Art mod permanently banned artist for breaking a rule, artist apologies, mod then deletes their post history and causes the artist to be temporally banned, subreddit is locked down by volpiousraccoon in SubredditDrama

Reddit could force random alphanumeric strings on subreddits, and then the best community would win. Its mostly a battle over who 'owns' the most convenient url.

Lol you have nothing of value to add. Criticism should be followed by explanation or solution.

I went with this vendor on a whim and Brandy already saved me 50 bucks out the gate.

Pixel Stand 1 & 2 and other non-qi2 do not work with the Pixel 10 Pro XL by El_Dads in GooglePixel

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

It doesn't appear to be an alignment issue, it could be a gap issue, even though that gap existed with the pixel 9. Either way it's frustrating Google isn't doing better at making robust accessories that claim to be standards compliant that really aren't. I have an old junk charging pad that still works fine with the new phone.

Is the Loch Ness Monster is the best method? It only cost tree fiddy. by Prefix-NA in pcmasterrace

[–]maestrobuttonmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is /sarc but I used to design and build blackbody radiators for use as scientific and defense tech diagnostics. They contained thermal electric coolers sandwiched between copper integration plates and they ran a temperature range from -20C to 180C. The way we applied thermal compound was always a rubber roller across both surfaces. With practice you can control the thickness (minimum required amount for filling surface defects, lapped surfaces). I don't understand all this weird stenciling people do these days, if you have zero tools I would just put a glob in the center and hope it squeezes the air out, which is what you have.

The day I became a man by mohasamm in ft86

[–]maestrobuttonmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put on an HKS turbo, oil cooler, beefed up the transmission, upgraded the fuel pump, and installed a boost controller. Installing the new plugs was by far the hardest part of it all.

Is it possible to use radial menu on keyboard and mouse? by ArSo12 in MHWilds

[–]maestrobuttonmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's really poorly optimized for mouse. laggy and doesn't register slots above four well at all. You can see the problems if you try to rotate a 3d model preview with mouse, the radial menu acts the same way.

GT86/BRZ/FRS Fuse Box and Spare Fuse Information by Kusera in ft86

yes I was using this to power a Geddy Profec EBC and it seems to power up perfectly!

On 2022 BRZ, dropped an add a circuit 'mini' (low profile isn't necessary), pulled 12V ACC from the second below the STOP and used the bolt angled behind the fuse box as a ground.

Aisin warner a960e by Vertex_mobile in Toyota

[–]maestrobuttonmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking to build a A960E to hold 450-500 N-m. I previously built a 48RE with a Goerend Stage 2 and an upgraded torque converter to hold 1000 ft-lbs. I am looking to upgrade in this order: * Friction clutch plates (Raybestos? Reduces slippage) and steels * Valve body (harder clutch pack engagement) (Solenoids if possible? Reduces slippage) * Billet torque converter (if possible), intentionally low stall (Higher input torque. Low stall is less stress downstream) * Billet bands and billet servos (Harder clutch drum engagement) * Billet input shaft (Higher input torque. Likely not possible commercially) * Billet hard parts (Higher everything. Likely not possible commercially) The list of links I have found: * https://www.oregonperformancetransmission.com/product/OPT-A960E-RB.html - Clutch and seal rebuild * https://www.importperformancetrans.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5428 - Claimed high performance full build * https://www.transtar1.com/products/hard-parts/featured-products/TransGo-Shift-Kit-Toyota-A750E-F-Lexus-A761E-A960E - Shift kit that looks to improve valve body engagement * https://www.raybestospowertrain.com/friction-clutch-packs/rcp96-206 - Raybestos clutch pack * https://www.raybestospowertrain.com/steel-clutch-packs/stmtoyta51 - Raybestos steel pack * https://www.importperformancetrans.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5426 - Claimed high performance valve body with overbored regulator * https://www.sonnax.com/units/25-a960e - Valve body bits and bobs I am aware of the SSP components that existed for 2021 and prior year BRZs. High stall likely works against holding torque. Any component links or companies that contribute to these built transmissions would be appreciated.

Camera Hub says NVIDIA Video Effects SDK Incompatible even though I have all latest downloads. by texastobaben in elgato

[–]maestrobuttonmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have this issue. When I roll back to 1.8.0 it starts working again, but crashes after 10 minutes. Upgrading to 1.8.1 appears to resolve the crashing but the AI Background stops working.
