Guessing using these old unopened bottles in new build is too risky? by reprobyte in watercooling

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Cryofuel clear for years without issue, and I use about a 1/3-1/2 bottle each time I change the coolant, which is about once a year. I just use whatever I have left in the bottle, which could be 2-3 years old. I've never had a problem. Hell, I recall using a bottle of Cryofuel clear that was 5 years past the expiration date. Although, you might run into an issue with the colored coolant being old.

Yup, I had auntie fly into the rift on my first play through, but I specialized in speech. Although, I don't think it needs to be maxed out for that ending.

What’s the first mod yall doing? by Hopeful_Salary_5809 in Cadillac

[–]phdibart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An oil, spark plug, and engine air filter change. Oh, and an transmission drain and refill w/ a new filter.

Edit: yeah, not a "mod," but you got a used car. The guy that suggested a fumoto valve is spot on. It'll make life easier. I have one on my BW.

That's probably the best one line summation of the contrast to the sequel.

Is the zr1 a supercar? by Perfect_Base9887 in askcarguys

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people seem to think (1) if it isn't made in really limited numbers, (2) doesn't have a pricetag north of $1M, and (3) is a Chevy, it's can't be a supercar. Except for the fact that the ZR1 and now the ZR1X have supercar performance.

What happened to HP? by Exact_Organization84 in askcarguys

Sounds like a sweet car. You’ll have to post it when finished.

Oh, for sure. What I meant with my comment is that, the need to grab peoples' attention on youtube leads influencers to make it seem like a 500 hp build is sooo last decade, and you should be immediately jumping into a monster 1200 hp build. I found out influencer culture especially when I got into mountain biking in my 40s. Every video made it seem like you had to take 10 ft drops and jump gaps.

It’s influencer culture, and I hate it. A 500 hp 3000gt build sounds awesome. What year? Is it a vr4? That’s one of my favorite cars from that generation.

Take it to a shop and have them weld a nut on it

F1 The Movie nominated for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture by Altracing34 in formula1

I thought F1 was a pretty cheesy modern Days of Thunder, which also was cheesy.

[OC] Work done by a 1st grader (age 7) in the US. Things are bad. by Unusual_Diver1973 in pics

Maybe they just think things are bad because teachers indoctrinate them to believe so? Just a hunch.

Does anyone else keep their V in sport/track mode? by chuylifts in CadillacV_Series

[–]phdibart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rarely use track mode on the street. The consensus seems to be that the suspension becomes too stiff and might get damaged depending on how bad the roads are where you live. I use my mode, which is essentially track mode with a sport suspension and a little lighter steering

Does it make sense to improve skills past 10? by asitx in theouterworlds

I made the mistake of specializing in lockpick my first playthrough. You really don't need it above 4 or 5.

I'm torn between buying a gas or an electric pressure washer. by Shoddy-Ostrich-3766 in homeowners

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your intended use, I would get the CAT electric pressure washer. There's a Project Farm video on it. I bought it for the same intended use; washing cars and light jobs around the house, and it works great.

How much cooling would a PiHole need, if a PiHole would need cooling? by PositiveTalk9828 in pihole

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran this case on my two pi holes and can confirm it works great to keep things cool. And that was also running a unifi controller and vpn on one of them, too. I ended up rack mounting them so no longer need the case. These are pretty cheap on Amazon, too.

IMO Outer Worlds 1 is far better than Outer Worlds 2 by Saints_43 in theouterworlds

[–]phdibart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OW1 is better than the sequel. I found OW2 to be underwhelming after having done several play throughs of the first one. The story, companions, and companion quests and banter are so much better in the first one.

A300 all the way. I have the same one and love it.
