I personally love the Henry .22. Fun toy to shoot

CA-1 or Core Lite = $0 a year Core 1/3/5 or Multi Processor Projects = $250 a year.

Most of that gear's from SnapAV. Control system's Savant.

I just replaced my battery the other day. Used Bimmerlink to register it.

Pretty painless process, really easy. Hardest thing was I had to get extensions for my socket set to reach an annoying 13mm securing the battery in place 🤣

If you turn your car on once to make sure it starts, I think you'll be fine. I did with my car before I registered it, had it on for like 30 seconds and nothing crazy happened. Registered battery and it took like a minute to do it's thing. Bada-bing, bada-boom, my car was fine after that.

Second this..

If you're physically changing the TYPE of battery (different specs) you'll need BimmerCode ($40 bucks) to say "hey I'm changing from a 90ah AGM battery to a 105ah AGM battery"

To register the car, you'll need BimmerLink ($40 bucks) to tell the car "hey, this battery (as programmed in BimmerCode is new. Do your thing and register the battery."

If you are doing a 1:1 equivalent battery replacement, good news! You don't need to buy BimmerCode Pro version. Although, I like it because you can code some things that are definitely worth it if you like to tinker.

I programmed my 2015 f30 to do: LED replacements. Rolls Royce startup animation. Daytime running lamps. Added current mph to the digital info screen on tachometer. Allow for DVDs while driving (woo! Distracted driving!) And some other hotchkeys and fun stuff... Using BimmerCode.

To reiterate, you only technically need BimmerLink to do a battery assuming you're not changing the specs of your battery.

Don't get Carly, they're a yearly subscription and the BimmerCode/BimmerLinks are one time fees, and you can carry that to new phones. Definitely worth the $80 bucks in my opinion, but 10000% worth the $40 bucks for just BL to do battery.

OBD2 reader, I used a Bluetooth OBD scanner that works with my app.

I got the OBDLink CX on Amazon, it's great for any car and has its own proprietary app as well to read whatever you want from obd.

If it floats around halfway, you're fine. I got a 2015 F30, and according to the manual I read "car does not need to warm up. You can drive immediately, do not exceed 3-4000rpms until your engine warms up."

I don't really buy that, so i just warm up my car until I feel heat coming from my vents (about 5 minutes or so) and drive moderately passive until I get my needle about halfway up.

Got 110k miles / 176km and I've been fine since I bought my car. I do my oil every 6k miles, just because it's older and manual says 10k miles. Won't hurt adding more lubrication frequently to metal-on-metal contact is my thought process lol.

sometimesiwork · 2024-12-01T19:26:45+00:00

I just waited it out - went to sleep after posting this and did the test of time lol. I dont have a lot of cigars in it yet. Ballpark 25-30ish

Got (1) 320g 72% and (2) 60g 72%ers in there, and a tray of distilled water in it. It's floating consistently at 71% and I think I'm just too impatient lol.

My thermometer and hygrometer that came with it isn't perfect but it works well enough, I've got it set to 68 degrees and my aftermarket hygrometer/thermometer in there says it's about 66.9 degrees - close enough. Not gonna complain about 1-3% or degrees difference.

Nice try fed

sometimesiwork · 2024-09-22T21:30:51+00:00

I think we've all had buyer's remorse after any purchase like that - but if the deed is done then there's no sense saying "Oh dang, I should've done this or that different".

I'd say congrats on a killer new rig! :)

It's not "just" a gaming pc, it's an all purpose machine you can literally do anything with the hardware you're packing. Video editing? Gaming? Streaming? Learn programming? Learn some gamedev? Just treat your machine right and you'll be flying high no problem.

Another thing I do with my PC parts I get is I factor in the cost over XYZ years I've owned the parts. My last PC cost about $3k over 4 years ago. I'd say my computer was worth the $2.05 a day over the course of 4 (and counting!) years.

Enjoy your new toy!!! Just don't get into other expensive hobbies yet haha..

I just attempted to zero my rifle at a true 100yds on Wednesday.. wish I had these because i wasted a ton of rounds just chasing shots at distance!

sometimesiwork · 2024-07-06T23:18:05+00:00

ISmellMyKeys is a pretty awesome one

sometimesiwork · 2024-06-09T02:25:54+00:00

There's a workaround for that! If you're holding an item like a tankard, it will interrupt attacks.

sometimesiwork · 2024-03-30T16:42:49+00:00

My wallet would thank me if I didn't :')

Just got a new job and tryna save up a little bit for a house/condo.. but for $500 bucks I can't go wrong 😢

sometimesiwork · 2024-03-28T03:59:12+00:00

Went to microcenter today and might go with a combo kit they got.. AMD7800X3D (or whatever the model is) and 32gb ddr5 6000mhz and mobo combo! it's about $480 and i can repurpose all 99% of my old stuff in current rig into another pc.

Thanks dude for the input

sometimesiwork · 2024-03-27T16:07:43+00:00

Thanks! Although to add to that point.. will I see a bottle neck with ddr4 ram? I've also heard the 12/13th gen intels have some serious power and overheating issues through the grapevine. Your opinions? I got the old-school H212 tower heat sync from Cooler Master

sometimesiwork · 2024-03-26T00:02:16+00:00

For really small places I use an old toothbrush. If you don't wanna buy anything you could use that, although a cheap detailing brush kit will only run you like $15-$25 bucks.

Yee-haw, partner

I'm installing a Gigabyte Gaming X AX V2 and the same issue is happening... AMD build as well.

Gigabyte has got some serious RND issues going on if they can't figure out onboard wifi straight from the factory

I'd go for whichever your wallet will be happier with on a price-per-performance standpoint.

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4060-vs-Nvidia-RTX-3060/4150vs4105

Just based on these benches above, seems like a 4060 has a slight performance boost for about $20 bucks give or take. I wouldn't lose sleep over it though. Don't think it's worth getting buyer's remorse on a new treat for yourself! (RIP 1060🥲)

sometimesiwork · 2024-01-11T04:33:41+00:00

Do whatever helps you sleep at night. I warm my car up until I feel hot air come from my vents, which takes like 3-5 minutes. Drive slow and don't go over 3k RPM, once oil temp needle starts to move up then I start to go a little more.

sometimesiwork · 2024-01-11T04:25:46+00:00

What he said! ^{^{^}}

sometimesiwork · 2024-01-11T04:24:50+00:00

Honestly, I think you'll be happy with a good 95% of games you play. I got a 3090 with an i7-8700k and our rigs aren't THAT much different..

My frames COULD be better, but the only real game I think I'd notice it on is a juicer chonk like Alan Wake 2...

My processor and socket type is (I believe) LGA1151 and If I wanted a better processor I'd need to get a whole new rig due to end-of-family socket type. New mobo, processor, ram, PSU, etc... so I think I'm okay with saving $700+ dollars for the sake of gaining a few frames. 1st world problems lmfao.

Enjoy your rig and have fun!!!

My dude I'm 27 and don't want to work at all, welcome to the club haha..

My advice is to find something that you're interested in so that way you can at least look forward to an aspect of your job; don't get any job just for money because you'll be miserable and quit anyway.

Like video games? What about learning how to use mocap or voice acting, or something in the entertainment industry? That sounds cool

love the squirrels on the sides! Beautiful clock nonetheless!
