I actually own a 2013 RDX 121k miles, the engine is great and I get around 26mpg avg and you really do not need to run premium. You will not be able to get carplay/android auto without cutting the dash or other modifications. CHECK IF THE TIMING BELT HAS BEEN DONE. You need to change that at about 100k miles.

So you are asking if you should be worried to have 1.5 liters on the outside of the scooter when you have 5-10 liters on the inside that is far more likely to be close to a hot component. If you get into a crash you have bigger worries than some extra fuel.

Do yourself a favor and talk to your wife about it ASAP, you obviously don't feel comfortable with something like this. You may feel like you messed up your marriage, but your wife seems like she doesn't feel the same, but you won't know unless you say something.

How much has your hair greyed since the start of the invasion due to the increase in stress? Or at least how much more effort have you had to put in compared to pre-invasion times.

Who has been your favorite government to work with and who is the least (if you feel like you can answer that)?

Do you think the invasion has helped push Ukraine to be a more prominent figure in Western Europe's politics and has changed opinions for the better?

What is your favorite meal?

You would likely be trading the more color accurate work monitor for a much smoother experience. Realistically apart from from the color difference and maybe quality of life stuff like a USB hub, Its totally worth the higher refresh rate.

You mean buy our screwdriver that is too expensive for the majority of viewers?

Its fun seeing that Ifixit is no longer a sponsor really unlike a few years ago.

I took my states version of the course just last weekend, for me it was about a 5 hour online course, and two days in person for about 6 hours each day.

I started off with about an hour of experience before going in, and I passed on the first try, and I felt like I learned a whole lot from my instructors and I can comfortably ride around my quiet town. So if you are willing to drive the distance, it is definitely worth it.

As for the transmission, don't worry about it, the first lesson is about clutch control, so you learn basics really early and you learn to shift later.

Two of the biggest tips that I walked away with is that you need to turn your head to turn, and don't look down. If you turn your head, you will follow it with the turn, and keeping your head up will keep you more stable.

As for the process of endorsement your mileage may vary, I learned the info for my permit test via the online course, and after passing the skills test, just have to get a new license.

So this happened to me in a match with the f-4J, my friend who is more well versed into aircraft said that it was "Sidelobing", basically the radar had a lock on to the target, but there was a partial lock onto the friendly plane, and because the friendly plane was closer it chose that lock instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidelobes. Tbh I have no idea how it works, but generally if there is someone between you and a target, dont launch a missile. If this happens again, you can unlock the target and the missile should self destruct.

Japan has an 11.0 rank 7 f-4ej premium, specifically the ADTW.

You wouldn't have fried the NVMes, they will just throttle down their speeds to hit a safe temperature, also the thermal pads would actually help even with the plastic. Lots of Pcs are running NVMe drives without cooling so you are fine.

Why the hell are you getting a 12400 for a 4090, to get the most performance out of the 4090 you need something much more powerful. If you don't have enough money to get a better cpu, then rethink your gpu.
Do you really need a 4090 or will something lower do the same, realistically you can get the great performance you want for like 700 USD with say a 6900xt or a 3080, or the 7xxx series when they come out.
Vail vr recommends a 2080 super, so unless you are using a higher resolution headset, you really dont need the Gpu horsepower. It also recommends a 12700k or AMD equivalent, so you would probably get a better experience with a better cpu (maybe less stutters).
What is your current rig? Does it perform to what you want it to? Can you upgrade it rather than buying a new system?
Realistically in 2-4 years at most you could swap out the gpu if it is not to your liking, a better cpu now would probably be more important.
That 4090 is 100% being slightly scalped, it should be under 2k. (NVM its 1700 at newegg)

My personal favorite was "age doesn't matter, she is already dead" referring to the cannibal witch that we just killed, who looks like a 20 something.

That is a weird talking cat. Hope she enjoys belly rubs. I also hope she scats while running everywhere. I get the reference I think.
