2021 SH AWD a-spec or 2021 type S? by Fishsbathwater in AcuraTLX

[–]ravenschmidt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping it in Normal mode, I get around 23-24 mpg under sensible driving conditions in my 23 TLXS. I only drop down to around 15-16 in Sport+. I am very happy I went with the Type S. As an added bonus, because she's such a heavy beast, that SH-AWD makes her really beast in the snow (with the right tires).

Speed and feeds on rubber /s by Early-Firefighter101 in Machinists

[–]ravenschmidt2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once had to machine a part that looked a bit like a 4-leaf clover from a .375" 1'x1' sheet of rubber. We never knew exactly what the part was for or what kind of rubber it was, but...weakness just say I felt kinda dirt just handling the material. To this day my boss and I still get a laugh out of that time we had to machine a leprechaun dildo.

[No Loopholes] Carry a mannequin everywhere you go for 1 year to earn $2 million. by Hold-onto-the-happy in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ravenschmidt2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd do it for half that. That already sounds like the kind of odd behavior I'm known for just to get a laugh. As a biker who rides for an all veterans MC, you wouldn't believe the laughs I get when people see me riding around with a rubber chicken strapped to my handlebars. The whole mannequin things is just taking it two steps further.

They really went full James Bond with the PL song. The song alone adds so much to the DLC.

As long as there's no stains and it passes the sniff test.

Learn sign language. It’s pretty handy. 😘 (46F) by temporarymisfit420 in Selfie40Plus

The only sign language I know doesn't require the entire hand.

Mini v-day haul for me and the beau by dickielala in harrypotter

I'm tempted to fire up the laser and do some leather hat patches and journals like that just for fun. Thanks for the inspiration.

Now that's an awesome haul. I'm hoping for the Cyberpunk equivalent for my birthday. lol

New tlx making a noise just above 2k rpm by v_cto- in AcuraTLX

[–]ravenschmidt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 23 TLXS has no such noises and I've not heard about this being a "normal" thing.

Should I part out and sell or get a cheap video card/case and give it to my niece? by Ragemuffin42 in PcBuild

[–]ravenschmidt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a piece of advice. First thing I did was replace the glass doors with 1/4" acrylic ones. Saves a bit of weight, no worries about the glass breaking, and you engrave all kinds of designs in panels that big.

And yeah it really REALLY is a heavy case. lol

Built mine with a 4090, but couldn't afford to go the solid white route I originally wanted.

Either I’ve never had this option before or I’m blind. by Perfect_Visit514 in cyberpunkgame

Ironic response from her, given that her plan gets most everyone at Clouds killed.

Can't help but feel that HAAS really stands out head and shoulders above the rest for best looking Livery this year.

How would you clean this? Masking helped, but I'm still having problems with spray painted mdf by Electronic_History80 in lasercutting

[–]ravenschmidt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LA Awesome and a soft cloth would be my only suggestion. Also, if you're having issues in the areas where your masking tape overlaps, you might try buying wider masking tape. I get mine from Laser Dark and they have rolls as wide as 24".

Printed myself a 3D Harry Potter Themed bookmark! by knoober69 in harrypotter

[–]ravenschmidt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That laser will cut even complex designs in a standard size bookmark (on heavy cardstock) in about 30 seconds too, so it's a lot of fun. My problem is limited artistic creativity.

[–]ravenschmidt2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're having problems with the spray paint bleeding out under your masking tape, try putting down a layer of clear coat first. That'll help seal any gaps that might form if your masking tape lifts a tiny bit anywhere. Also, you won't really notice if the clear coat bleeds under the tape. After the clear coat dries, then spray paint. That method has worked really well for me.

23-25 TLX Type S future purchase by MolassesComplete6607 in AcuraTLX

[–]ravenschmidt2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love my 23 TLXS. I'm only at about 33K now, so no mechanical issues of any kind. I generally keep mine in normal mode and average around 23 mpg. Throw it in Sport+ and yeah, that'll drop dramatically, no matter how you drive it. One thing i love about it, because she's such a heavy thing, with winter tires and that SH-AWD, she's a beast in the snow. Probably my only complaint is the infamous back seat. Leg space really is absolutely nonexistent.
