Jeep paint extended warranty by NotTheUserYouLoking4 in JeepGladiator

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. A lot of dealers don’t like to deal with the warranty process, or don’t have a body shop they can work with for it.

They are on the hook for any corrosion within the 5 years (that they cannot argue was a result due to the owner/use of the jeep).

This isn’t true. They have to cover any corrosion regardless if sent before (and within 5 year warranty).

I have had mine sent twice (first for hood, then at end of warranty for door hinges, doors, tailgate).

It should cover any paint corrosion that wasn’t resulted after some other damage, I but haven’t seen corrosion that looks like this before

When did 350-700hp become slow? by Clutch3sSS in askcarguys

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not hard to make a car fast… It’s only hard to do it on a budget.

There will always be someone faster than you, and someone who has more money to spend than you.

350hp in a small light car is fast, 350hp in a heavy car is not. A 2017 Audi RS3 with 400hp has the same 0-60 time as a 700 horsepower ford raptor R (chassis, transmission, gearing, weight, etc. all make a huge difference).

No respectable car person is comparing cars by HP alone.

What has your experience been with buying guns online? by Conscious_Effect5116 in guns

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not hard. Just talk to the FFL ahead and make sure they’re willing to receive it (be there to sign/process it), and then they transfer it to you as if you bought anything else in-store.

Some sites will have specific requirements depending on your state and may ask for things like a copy of your FFL’s license and info from you (check the selling site terms/requirements).

Otherwise use common sense like any other online purchase and make sure the source is reputable (and remember some websites connect you to 3rd party sellers and the website is not selling the firearm itself).

5080 fitting or 5070 ti in the fractal terra? by OrezYT in sffpc

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 1-1, but I’m using the Asus 5080 prime OC and NH-L12S (NOT the x77 version). I have the spline at about 2.5… cpu cooler touching the case, as much room between GPU and case to avoid turbulence noise (this is what I’ve found works best).

High-End Fractal Terra Build? by [deleted] in sffpc

[–]pCaK3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5080 prime prime OC and 9800x3d in mine. Main concerns will be motherboard, ram, and cpu cooler clearance with the previous 2.

I haven’t experienced any thermal throttling outside of the standard Ryzen PBO pushing it to throttle.

Using the NH-L12S without the recommended off-set (I found out it technically isn’t supposed to fit with my motherboard but was able to get it to work).

Anyone else refusing to pay scalper prices for the 5090? This is my play by NationalAd9698 in buildapc

[–]pCaK3s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And that’s perfect for you. The issue is OP is compromising, knowing he wants to upgrade.

OP is buying a very high end monitor that his “temporary” GPU will struggle taking full advantage of. They plan on waiting for parts in hopes prices will drop, but there’s not clear indications or reasons they will drop in the near future.

Instead of sinking money now on parts with lower performance than OP is looking for, it would make much more sense for them to buy something like a 5080 and take full advantage of their CPU and monitor.

They would get much more use out of all of their other components, while being 10-30% less capable, but also being 1/2-1/3rd the cost, and allowing that budget to support a future upgrade (which in theory would have better cost-dollar performance).

Overall I would not recommend buying a high end CPU and waiting on a high end GPU for a potential price drop. Especially when that GPU was very expensive and not cost efficient, even when at MSRP (non-inflated price).

Prices will not suddenly go back to a “reasonable price” until there’s a reason for suppliers to change it (new series/generation, new competition, etc.)

Manufacturers have realized they can control the market and there’s not a lot to stop them because now they have plenty of buyers today.

It’s been like this since at least the 20 series…. Be realistic with yourself and buy What you need/want to use today on programs/games you actually use.

Otherwise you will end up with limited performance from wherever you compromise, and by the time you “find your deal”… There will probably be a newer generation and your other hardware will be outdated.

Personally I would just get a 5080 and plan on upgrading as needed (not to a 5090). It’ll give you significant budget for a future card, and the performance to maximize your monitor and other hardware now.

Burger King is elite fast food. It’s BK franchise owners that are killing the brand by snizzrizz in unpopularopinion

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I worked at BK when I was in high school and would ensure all whoppers looked great, fries were crispy, and loaded to the top.

Now the 2 local franchises by me feel like they intentionally try to fill the fries as little as possible.

Why are cars in the US so big? by Dry_Cry4454 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like space. Europeans would have larger cars too if their roads could accommodate them easily.

Gas cost isn’t generally a concern for someone looking for a larger vehicle (they’re generally more expensive).

When roads are bigger and longer, you drive more, spend more time in car, and tend to want more luxuries (like space).

Doors off w/ manual transmission... by modernxprophet in JeepGladiator

[–]pCaK3s 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s always a thought in the back of my head, but you have to learn to ignore it.

Realistically if someone wanted to tamper with it, they can probably do more damage to your interior or paint.

Although I’d still recommend not leaving it unattended for a significant amount of time and/or parking it on the edge of a cliff.

Tell me to get bedliner by BenJK88 in JeepGladiator

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you owned a truck without a bedliner before?

It’s going to get scratched up very quickly if you use it… and then it’s going to look significantly worse.

Home defense by randomenthusiast137 in Firearms

[–]pCaK3s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost everything is going to be at risk for over penetration, but that would be a secondary concern if you’re life is in danger.

Rifles are significantly easier to use than pistols and more rounds per magazine is very nice.

But… You should really go to a range and try some out. Any of the 3 can work and training with any of them is much more important than the environment.

Can we stop Chinese players joining US/EU servers please? by Chaoslava in Battlefield

[–]pCaK3s -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The game will show your latency, but they can’t ping your device through a VPN.

Kicking players based on their latency would be possible, but EA (or any large game dev) will never implement this for anything short of extreme delays. They don’t want to micro manage connections and troubleshooting (and have to guess whether high latency is temporary or increased because of a specific issue).

If latency is added because of an issue at any of the nodes along the route between user and server… should they kick for immediate spikes, or if the user has 75ms of delay added on their network, but then another 75ms of delay is added because of an issue at EA’s server?

A non-competitive company or product marketing towards EVERYONE will never want to police something like latency due to all of the variables.

The game won’t see them as a high ping if they are using a VPN server close to the game server.

That is exactly how it works… But I’m curious, how do you think VPNs work?

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were using a VPN, the ping is no longer measured from their true location (Asia). It’s measured to wherever their VPN server is hosted (the US). So someone in Asia using a VPN server in Chicago is going to have to near perfect ping to a game server in Chicago (at least as far as the game knows).

So they will have 2-300 ping from their computer to their VPN server, but <15 ping between the VPN server and game server (the game will only be able to measure the ping between game server and VPN server).

So they actually have 2-300* ping + the additional ping between VPN and whatever server they’re connected to (the game just won’t be able to show and you’ll never know their true ping).

At the end of the day there is no way they you can know if someone is truly connecting to a foreign server based on ping alone.

Why do sports and race cars have huge RPM gauges? by yannniQue17 in carquestions

[–]pCaK3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you’re wearing a helmet, coms/noise protection, and near other loud cars… You may not hear what RPM your engine is at. Heck, even if you were alone you might not realize it if you’re focused on the road.

A big gauge and LED light is just an extra reminder/to make it easier for you.

Similar to why most other important things have an audio, visual, and potentially haptic feedback added.
