As an actual Liberal, rather than the poseurs currently calling themselves Democrats, he's so far left of them, he's almost over the horizon, despite actually only being a bit left of center maybe more than a little bit. *Everyone* is so far right now that "center" is to the left. Or at least according to what I've seen, which was on the internet, so to be taken with a grain of salt, but it definitely feels like Dems are close to where the GOP was, say, 30 years ago, and the GOP is starting to infringe upon Stalin's territory. Or whatever is over there at the farthest right. Kim Jung Il?

I just need to play the best Tetris game of my life to get it removed from the chassis. All the other hard parts are done. I have told myself I was putting it off because I am waiting for a couple of rubber air hoses that are cracked and dry rotted. If I left them in place they have a 100% chance of sucking air. Once this is done I will pressurize the coolant system and see where my leak is coming from and then off road adventures!

Other than Warren, none of the other candidates even moves the needle with anyone but white dudes over 40. Warren, on the other hand, just seems to have decided to own-goal herself out of support.

Hey on a similar subject, I need to decide on what to build out as a replacement for my FreeNAS box that survived the house fire but is probably on borrowed time due to soot etc. corroding traces. It’s a dual Xeon E5-2670 (8 cores/16 threads each, 16/32 total I think?) with 64GB ECC RAM and 6x6TB HGSTs in a ZFS zraid2 config. It runs some jails/VMs (Plex etc) and I also built it out with enough horsepower to be an NVR. With all that said IDK what to replace it with that supports ECC, has more or less as much or more processing power, and preferably at a lower TDP. I already bought another bigass tower case and some Noctua fans but that’s as far as I have gotten.

Tremek , why ecc ram? I don’t think it would be strictly necessary for a home system use... but you do you. For what it’s worth, all ryzen processors support ecc. Just make sure the board handles it appropriately. If you want a budget build, 3950x probably would get you there. Tr3960x is a decent jump in cost, but if you want pcie lanes, it’s probably the way to go. If you want ecc on intel, you’re back into xeon, which I don’t keep up on. Each manufacturers definition of tdp is different too, so be wary there. GN did a good explanation of how it can be a worthless metric.

ECC is recommended when using ZFS. You don't actually need to but if you care enough to bother with ZFS you might as well go all the way with data integrity.

This guy has already sold one server, and he's still digging through everything he managed to get. Might watch that thread? And if you don't trust those drives anymore, I'll be up for buying one or two of them once you've migrated to a new setup. I know they're on borrowed time, but my movie collection is kinda out of control. None of it would be difficult to replace if a drive died. I mean, two of my drives are 10+ year old HGSTs...

Anyone know much about the Jeep 2.0 4cyl Turbo motor? I know it's basically a Fiat motor (Multiair?) made in Italy, it's only been available in the Wrangler for two years now and everyone in the Jeep forums seem to love it but I'm not sold on it's reliability short term or long term. Going to be test driving a new Wrangler with a V6 and the turbo 4.

Going to be test driving a new Wrangler with a V6 and the turbo 4. The Multiairs have generally been pretty solid engines. The 2.0L isn't as smooth as the 1.4L, but they've been quite reliable as a family. I can't say how it would compare to a V6, but I wouldn't let the engine itself scare you off.

I can't say how it would compare to a V6, but I wouldn't let the engine itself scare you off. From what I've read so far Wrangler owners love it, especially for the driveability on the street. I was more worried about the hybrid part of it (E-torque) but Jeep discontinued it for the 2020 year which is nice, and apparently there's barely any noticeable difference in performance so that's good. I'd rather not have the complexity of a cooled (expensive) battery system that seemed to be the only issue so far. There were reports of the cooling system leaking onto electric components which is not good and replacements are not cheap.

The closest I've heard to a complaint about them is that with the mild hybrid setup they have, the aftermarket has been slow to come up with skid plates and whatnot to protect the dangly bits. Since I'm pretty sure your use case doesn't involve rock crawling I'd say you're fine. nonedit: Also I didn't know they already abandoned said mild hybrid.

trouser chili posted:Jeep owners are praising a turbocharged Italian motor, I’m not sure I understand the world anymore. Lol yeah that confused me at first too, when i started to look into it I expected lots of problems but people love it, the only people that were talking poo poo about it were the V6 owners of course, saying that the motor is too complex, we don't need turbos yadda yadda. Then it was pointed out that the Pentastar V6 isn't the pinnacle of reliability either with lots of previous V6 owners having issues....Casting sand in the cooling system being a big issue and other poo poo with those. So yeah, the turbo 4 is actually looking like a good option for a mainly street driven Wrangler. [e] although direct injection with no port injection for keeping things clean is a bit of a concern, but apparently there are already aftermarket catch cans available to alleviate the build up so that's good.

Most of the beef I've heard (and had) was with the transmission. I had a Cherokee a few weeks ago and they still don't have the shifting sorted out after all these years. The 2.0 felt great when the transmission was in the right gear, which was seemingly almost never.

That's what the Wrangler has and I haven't read any complaints, it's just the opposite, even savagegeese's review was very positive regarding the 8 speed transmission. It seems like people don't like the manual much either, something about the clutch being lovely. Guess i'll find out once i drive it, there's nothing I hate worse than an automatic trans constantly hunting around. I love the four speed auto in my Scion, it's simple and stays in the right gears.....I feel like the more gears that are put in autos the worse they get but I'll find out here soon I guess.

Yeah that seemed to be a big gripe, especially from the hardcore off roaders. The diesel is quite a big price hike as well, but probably worth it for off roading.

My build from December is a 9900K and carried over my 1080ti from when my 6700k mobo died. Chews through anything I throw at it. Wife is still running my multi year old hand me down of a 2500k and 780GTX which I just upgraded trouble free to Windows 10. Runs just fine and still has tons of life for what she uses it for. Hell, my old laptop is an i7-5700HQ and 970M which is still great. It's amazing how much life you can get out of hardware now compared to 10 years ago.

Not a unit so I did some pressin and pushin and lotsa swearing. gently caress non unit bearings Ok I gotta bitch again, sorry for being so close to my previous bitch. I planned on taking this car in yesterday and working on it today. I finished up some work on my 03 OB and pulled the Altima in to do a preliminary look at what the job was going to be like. This was about 5pm and right around the same time I get a text from the owner asking if it would be ready for 9am to go to the track meet. I said no probably Sat afternoon. There was a miscommunication about her wanting it done on Friday, I was annoyed but I felt bad and did the right thing and busted my rear end to get it done last night. It also needed the valve cover gasket done but at least she could go to the meet and I could do the cover when she got back. Well I texted her this morning to have her just let me know when she would be back so I could do the cover. She says "oh its still there my kid got a ride so I wont need it until later so you can do the cover now". I was loving PISSED, I said Im really not happy that I busted my rear end last night to get this done when I could have done it this morning like I had planned. I worked fast, left a mess in the shop and felt like I ran a marathon last night when I tried to get out of bed this morning. I wish she had at least took the car so it would have felt like busting my rear end was appreciated. You just dont do that, what the gently caress.

drat confusing HID color temps.  Figured the stock bulbs were 5k. Got a set of Osram Xenarcs in that color. Turns out the originals were 4300k. Well, started life there. One was purple and dim. Both wound up being german-made Phillips bulbs. This is a bit more blue than I wanted, but Osram and Phillips bulbs are expensive enough that I'll just live with it. They're both equally bright and the same color now, and I'll keep the non-color shifted bulb as an emergency spare. No mfg date that I can see, but one looks like it's been replaced (the non-dim one has writing on both sides of the base, the dim one has writing only on one side.. same part numbers tho).

And yet some tires are measured in that sane way, where it's just diameter x width x rim diameter, all in inches. Instead most of us get tires with width in mm, height as a percentage, and rim diameter in inches. loving nonsense.
