Our water system's well is down from 200k gallons of water used per day to 113k per day. Holy poo poo that feels good, we've managed to patch and fix enough of the lines to cut our usage almost in half. gently caress yeah, 2015, you're already better than 2014!

Things I never thought I'd say: These new tires have way too much grip. 40mph down a gravel / dirt / mud road, and I couldn't get my Crown Vic to slide at all. For 225/65/16's they have ridiculous amounts of traction.

Trivia time! You are on a 4 lane highway. There is a semi with a trailer in the left lane, an open right lane, and the road ahead is straight. The semi has remained in the left lane for the past couple of miles, and is showing no signs of merging into the right lane. You have a clear shot to pass him, however, like the good driver you are, you know how unwise it is to pass on the right, especially in the case of a tractor trailer. What do you do? Bonus points for most creative and well written answer.

T-Square posted:So Elite: Dangerous looks like a pretty awesome game. Except that it's also hilariously confusing with all of the different controls and poo poo you can do and also I don't have a joystick  Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS. Relatively cheap, solid, and it's been working great for me. Also, the Flight Sim Megathread can probably recommend you a decent stick setup too if you give them a price range.

 So, it's been raining nonstop since Friday. It only just stopped a couple of hours ago, actually. This is all spillway runoff from one lake. One. It's kind of a miracle I haven't had to go do any water rescues yet

Reallyyy wish my ISP would get their loving poo poo together. $60/month for 20 Megabit / 2 Megabyte / whatever the gently caress you want to call it down, and it's so loving spotty and prone to cutting out at random that it's gone past the point of absurd and is now into full on "Why are we even giving you people money" territory.

Holdbrooks posted:Random question for AI. I bought new tired for the cop car today since the fiat won't be fixed by next week and I'm planning a road trip. Should I mount them on the gold STi BBS wheels I have and toss the poo poo tires and wheels back on and sell it when I get back or just put them on the cop steelies and hope I can get $500 more when I sell it? Cop car on gold STi BBS'es would be baller as gently caress. DO IT.

Hell, I've got an i5 3570K, 8GB of RAM, and a 2.5GB GDDR5 GTX 570 HD, and it handles drat near everything I throw at it. It slows down at 1080p with VSync on with some newer games, but it handles drat near everything on Ultra if it's even decently optimized. No issues on Borderlands 2 or Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, for example. And man, DiRT 3 just looks gorgeous on everything Ultra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSXNOOW_CbQ So yeah, midrange is still pretty awesome. I think I paid $1,200 for this setup.

Just throw another alternator belt in the case and use it to packet the fbi while filesharing I don't overclock any of my setup because I heard that makes the trans wear out faster and then you could grenade your rear end from all of the gigahertz.

My current case has a high flow 120mm rear fan for exhaust, 200mm side panel intake, 2 120mm intakes on the front, and a 120mm intake up top. It stays decently cool, and the high flow 120mm keeps the air moving relatively quickly.

Cage posted:I wish the crew had a demo of some sort. I would love to bomb around in a offroad style mustang but the feel of the physics in games like that can be hit or miss for me. The driving model in this game is really polarizing, I won't lie. I personally love it, it's easy to drift and rally down dirt roads once you get the hang of things. That being said, I know quite a few people absolutely despise it because the cars are somewhat quirky when it comes to cornering. It's... interesting. It takes some getting used to.

I can't speak for the 'Bone version, but it's not really very buggy on PC from what i've found. 55 hours in, and the only crash / freeze i've had is because of some weird, obscure issue in the Collection screen where if you scroll back and forth too fast it locks the game up. Still haven't figured that one out.

Galler posted:I started out playing it with a wheel and absolutely hated it. I could barely get past the first couple missions and it was just extremely unfun. I tried a controller out of frustration and it got a ton easier and more fun. Still a couple bullshit missions in there (why do they put a couple of the hardest missions in the game right near the start?) I've only played it with a 360 controller, but I've heard it's not super amazing with a wheel. I just really don't get what causes the Collection screen lockup. It's such a strange bug

kastein posted:gently caress if it is for a 3.0 vulcan tell me where I am sending the starter that I got with the new engine for my dad's 2000 ranger. I bet it fits in a 15 dollar flatrate, how's 35 bucks shipped sound? I paid like 20 for it including core and taxes. Pretty sure it's the Vulcan, 3.0 V6. Don't worry about it though, we already got the new starter on and the old one boxed up. Just shocked me, that's crazy expensive for a starter. Hell, my new radiator was only $100, i'm amazed a starter could be that insane
