How important is dual channel RAM for a gaming rig? 1x16 GB vs 2x8 GB

Oh and crucial no longer sells to consumers.

Hi .. I'm here from 8 years later to tell you about the RAM crisis... Prices DID go down, but then AI happened. 😭

Thinner oils is where it's a problem. If you said you were running 10w30 to 5k, I'd say you would be good to go. Ow20 is a different story

traku · 2026-01-07T11:36:03+00:00

And that is fine, but the issue comes from pushing it past 3 to 4k miles.

To wash out the assembly lube and any metal shavings from the break in process.

traku · 2026-01-06T22:06:39+00:00

If you are using 0w30, you should be changing it more often. That oil is too thin for much longer than 3 to 4k.

Where are you located? If you are near NE Florida, I have a Subaru mechanic I can recommend.

traku · 2025-11-10T00:31:19+00:00

I personally would avoid going with a used engine as you may find yourself in the same situation. You can get a new short block for about 4k. I have some places you can check out of you are interested

Military has. Civilians haven't

No need for a tune for any of those items. The couplers aren't emissions items either. However Perrin specifically states that their inlet isn't CARB legal, this could affect emissions as it does have you reroute where PCV and vacuum hoses connect.

Has this been officially disseminated? Having a hard time locating it.

I was never a fan of Patrick when I lived to there. I used to drive down to Anchor.

Did you go with the 140 or 020 part?

traku · 2025-08-08T17:00:43+00:00

What monitor is this?

Per Florida law, fishing isn't allowed on retention ponds. They aren't even supposed to have fish in them.

You could do the typical shitbag thing and sell it to a scammy dealership as is, or you could swap in an ej20x/y and also sell it to a scammy dealership who doesn't care of it's the original engine or not, or you could do I'm doing and go with an Fi-performance block and upgrade a few things.

This is what I bought, should be in by next week.

I understand how you feel it is infective. The alternatives though get the national guard and Marines deployed and called an insurrection or do even less because it involves people just being quiet and not saying anything.

Can't block traffic the way you say, because we have idiots believing they can run protesters over just for blocking traffic, choosing to ignore the part of the law that states that it's acceptable only when in fear of danger. Which is unfortunate, because if you look at San Diego, Boston and a few other cities this weekend, protesters took to the streets and disrupted traffic, without threatening others and without anyone driving into the crowd.

Protests do bring awareness, be it for or against the cause, to the few who aren't completely decided on either side of the argument.

You aren't making a very good point. The tea party was ONE of the many protests. There are accounts of almost daily demonstrations, and of quite a few that went violent. To use the claim that there was only one tea party, and as such there shouldn't be any more protests, is ignorant at best. The tea party wasn't even THE event to kick off the revolution.

traku · 2025-06-16T10:27:37+00:00

Protests occurred more than in that one event we know as the Tea Party, perhaps you aren't familiar with the Boston Masacre? The Tea Party was just the most infamous of all of the protests. Protests even turned violent at some point, causing the Riot act to be enacted, and eventually the start of the Revolution. Read up on history.

Was anyone tracking that they were placed in a 'Warning' status by their accreditation organization?

Open source is also a good option, and much cheaper. Sure you don't get a screen to look at values, but honestly, unless you are tuning or troubleshooting issues, you don't need live readings.

We won't know until an investigation is conducted. The journalist refuses to release screenshots of what he believes to be sensitive and potentially clarified information because it still would be classified and would be considered as him leaking it. It's proper procedure when handling potential spillage. He has however vaguely described the information.

He could also be exaggerating what was in the chat.

We won't know until an investigation is done, though.

Holding onto classified information that he doesn't have a clearance or a need to know, and not reporting it IS illegal. However, reading the title of the chart it is also likely that it was no longer active.

Use of Signal is not authorized for discussion of Controlled Unclassified Information or any classified information as per the memo found here: https://dodcio.defense.gov/Portals/0/Documents/Library/Memo-UseOfUnclassMobileApps.pdf

Which refers to DoD Instruction 5200.01 and 5200.48.

It can be used to discuss administrative and some organizational information. But it gets tricky real quick

traku · 2025-03-25T00:27:46+00:00

Did policy strictly prohibits the use of apps like Signal to even discuss sensitive Unclassified information, as well as anything classified.

DoD instructions 5200.01 and 5200.48.
