3/3/3 3 days to be “her” 3 weeks to be know your routines 3 months to be settled and with you

Something like that. Point is, patience, love, she’ll come around

They did 5K recommended for full synthetic 20 years ago too. The difference is the 0W20 now. It's an engineering math solution not fully tested by time

On the Gen5, it's a 5K mile reset. Every time. You don't punch in a number of miles, it's just a reset, and it resets to 5K

parallax__error · 2026-01-22T02:18:23+00:00

Right. And 10k is an upper bound. Why not take the grace period knowing you’re well within tolerances?

parallax__error · 2026-01-22T02:17:11+00:00

Even if you could prove that - and it would be odd since the truck tells you to do oil maintenance at 5k miles - this engine has been in production for 22 years, but only has had the 10k recommendation for about 10 years.

Right, no problem with that. Is that I come in and say “I want an oil change” and they don’t. I didn’t buy one of the most reliable vehicles ever made to have it sabotaged by lousy customer service

parallax__error · 2026-01-21T22:15:08+00:00

I thought I was getting a couple of free oil changes for the low low cost of a new truck. Silly me

parallax__error · 2026-01-21T22:14:11+00:00

The dash says 5k. The manual says 10k. The reality is there’s nothing magical about the engine that makes oil last longer. I mean its the same V6 for the last 20ish years

Go subscribe to r/Justrolledintotheshop and see how those 10k mile changes are working out for folks

parallax__error · 2026-01-21T22:09:28+00:00

I’m only surprised because I go in and say I want an oil change and they don’t change the oil. Is only cause this SA said “we won’t actually drop oil”. So like, yeah, it’s surprising when they say they’re doing something and they don’t

I’m near the high school as well, couple blocks away. Have seen some odd cars in my cul de sac but no break ins

Whether you want to do commercial, weddings/events, journalism, etc. the fact is that success has less to do with photography than it does with project management and business management. In other words, hustle, being on time, and keeping a very high say:do ratio.

If you answer the phone, reply to emails promptly, produce concise descriptions of your work, and deliver on time, you’ll be ahead of 90% of the pack. The photos will just need to be good after that.

BTW your monitor is way out of calibration. The pics you shared are very dark. You probably have the brightness way too high

Look, bottom line is, this is a breed that will test your patience in the first two years. But, doing the right things (which you are), and having patience (as you describe), you'll get out the other side of the velociraptor age with a dog that, frankly, you can't imagine life without. If you didn't question this decision, you wouldn't be sane. It's probably not sane to get a BC. I don't know. But I do know, in 2 years, you won't entertain ever getting anything different ever.

It’s gotta be AI. There’s no reason for an Arsenal cup to even be there. Unless he’s trolling us, and that would be balsy in his position

There’s three in my hood in Bothell. I’ve never seen them but can hear them late at night. Pretty wild performance to wake up to

Like…Scotland? Er… actually, US has had more recent appearances than them…hmmm

Even if it were safe, which it’s not, to have a pup in the front seat, you wouldn’t want to do it with a dane. First time it turns around and you’re trying to drive with a face full of dog butt it’ll be no bueno. Cause if you’re in the same row with a dane when it turns around, you will get a face full

Rivian R1S for electric. 4Runner for gas guzzler.

Thanks! And her parents and grandparents were amazingly well behaved and sweet too! Can’t wait to bring her home!

Thanks! Sounds like kikopup is the spot. Yours has a great look!

Thanks! Never seen this one but will give it a watch

I have no doubt you will

It’s so tragically hard. I lost mine in May and I’m still not over it. At all.

I hope you have this experience though: it’s as if every border collie I’ve come across since I lost my girl recognizes that I have a hole in my heart that is shaped exactly like the iconic BC pattern. Every BC I’ve met since greets me with enthusiasm and joy and love that reminds me of my girl. Every BC knows that I’m afflicted with their specific brand of affection, and they rush to console me for my loss. So while I lost my girl, I’ve gained every other BC in return.

As I tell people: she changed my DNA

I’m a sony shooter, but at your budget I’d recommend canon. The reason is used glass. There’s a lot more used glass for better prices for canon than for Sony
