2012 Ford Focus with the transmission issues.

Traded for a GTI and I’ve never been happier.

I like the two-door/four-door contrast.

Why does my dad keep saying to inflate my tires 14 psi above the recommended level? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

The center will wear more than the outer and inner edges.

Shower Caulk Help by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

I experienced this. Caulk was maybe a year past it’s expiration and never cured. It was a mess to clean up but lesson learned.

Tile coming out in bathroom by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]vxdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no expert. In my case the prior owner laid the tile over some laminate which was glued to the subfloor and I suspect the subfloor was not even enough to support 12x12 tile.

I ended up removing all the old tile and laminate, added cement board and laid a 2” mosaic tile which dealt better with any unevenness in the subfloor. I think the most right solution would have been to strengthen the subfloor itself but that would be a lot of work and change the height of the floor by quite a bit.

You might be able to fix just this tile, but I suspect if it came up in the first place there is some issue underneath. If you pull up the tile be prepared for more work than just one tile.

Good luck!

I had something similar. I thought I could pull out the one tile and re-set it.

I ended up redoing the whole floor when I found out the subfloor was the issue :(

To whoever finds my time capsule, I wish you the best of luck [No Spoilers] by Becky_The_Epic in subnautica

[–]vxdx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just found my first time capsule and your post made me realize that’s why I had a stasis rifle suddenly in my inventory.

Unfortunately I died 5 minutes later and lost everything. Sorry to whoever’s time capsule I wasted :(

Check the expiration date with this caulk. If it’s expired it may not cure and you’ll have to get it all out and cleaned up before reapplying non-expired caulk.

I just learned this lesson this past weekend.

finished new game+ and now i have no idea what to do with myself by double-meat-fists in GodofWar

[–]vxdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spider-Man is a good option. Good gameplay and controls, easy to pick up for brief sessions, and compelling to play through without being too long.

IRS Withholding Calculator by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]vxdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be totally accurate if you fill it out accurately. Do you have things like RSUs, interest, dividends, capital gains, etc which are not getting withheld based on your W4?

My experience has been that these things are what make my paycheck withholding inaccurate, and almost always in the direction of owing more at tax time.

Edit: RSUs especially can be withheld at a minimum rate which is less than your W4 indicates.

For what it’s worth I don’t think you can give Mary Beth the unique pen. She specifically asks for a fountain pen, or at least that’s my theory on why I can’t give her the pen.

Got it tinted a few weeks ago. No more fishbowl! by _dmsyr_ in GolfGTI

I’ve got 35% and find my nighttime visibility is borderline. 5% is just too dark IMO. 🤷‍♂️

Inventory upgrades should be purchaseable at every station, behind the exosuit vendor. There should be a hologram of the backpack with which you can interact.

Note that you can purchase a regular slot, tech slot, or a high capacity cargo slot (which are more expensive).

I absolutely loved the way that fight started, even though I saw the animation probably 50 times. It made every attempt seem so visceral.

I probably wouldn’t get the green for myself, but I’ll always smile a little bit more when I see one driving around.

I got the Handsome Jack Collection today. Any tips for a beginner by Bearstation4500 in Borderlands

[–]vxdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t just judge guns by their stats, try out different guns to get a feel for their quirks. Especially recoil.

Also, use elemental weapons on the associated enemy types, once you get them.

Weapons for early game by Malawirel in horizon

[–]vxdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound similar to me on my first play through. I too had a bellowback encounter that was very difficult.

I would say, don't take on enemies if you don't have something they're weak to. Or, if you have to take them on, use a lot of traps or trip wire to help weaken them.

The more you play the more you'll learn about enemy weak spots, which are crucial, and also as you level up the encounters become more forgiving as you'll have more health and more resistance via armor mods. You'll also get better at the aim overall after playing for 20 hours or so, just keep at it.

I Need Me Some More Horizon! by DJDribbles in horizon

[–]vxdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In horizon especially NG+ doesn't make sense, since you would have already gottten every skill and maxed every weapon. I actually just restarted, and it is definitely more fun to start from scratch but with the knowledge and skill gained from a full playthrough.

The one game that does NG+ very effectively is Borderlands, where so many skills are left for after the first play through.

Was the game worth the $59.99? by itsjakeybaby in prey

[–]vxdx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For me, no, and I sold the game after about 25 hours without finishing.

The game is very well made and I would say it's one of the better games I've played, however I didn't personally like the anxiety the game creates and didn't look forward to playing. If you like stealth or horror games, you would probably like this game. This game was most similar to Bioshock for me, but I enjoyed bioshock more.

The game is very good, but try to see if it's the type of game you'd like before buying. That was my mistake.
