You'll be fine. You store for winter months only. Just gently use up the first tank after you take it out from storage.

They're good for doing internal tire patches for free too!

People in general are too lazy to monitor their tire pressure. Even with TPMS people will still ignore the numbers until it becomes an actual warning lol. Worse tire pressure means shitty fuel mileage which means you buy more gas without even knowing it. I can see exactly why (other than upkeep costs) they would remove it as a free service. It's still a dick move of course. I ended up buying a little electronic pump from Temu which is serving my cars well.

Made a stop at Vegas Donuts this morning and I'm back with a report...

It's pretty meh. The glazed donut is only glazed on one side and it's just not enough glaze while the dough is too crispy on the outside and not yeasty enough on the inside. The cinnamon sugar cake donut was not bad - proper cake donut texture that goes well with a cup of coffee. The sprinkle donut was ok but my daughter had no interest in eating it which never happens when she sees a sprinkle donut.

thanks for taking one for the team ...

That sprinkle donut looks kinda sus. Purple icing? Sparse sprinkles? If I were your daughter, I wouldn't wanna touch it either LOL~

Ha, yeah and my daughter's the kinda kid that would climb into a white panel van if the driver told her there were unlimited sprinkles on the inside.

How much?

I’m all over cheap. As in, cheap enough to overlook quality, ijbol.

$3 a pop. Their fancy donuts are $4. They have a donut and coffee deal for $5 as well.

Cream Pony is $3.45 a pop while Lucky's is $5 for a glazed. I'd say Cream Pony is a bargain among the fancier shops (and apparently their fried chicken is great too).

Thanks....... let's hope Cream Pony comes out to Vancouver sooner than later.

Almost as news worthy as the opening of Costco Business Centre out in New West (Queensborough).

I hope cream pony does well. I’ve seen way too many instances where one restaurant is killing it then they open a second one and either their quality goes to shit cause the brains behind the operation is stretched too thin, or the build goes way over budget and sinks the whole operation.
They are good people and have a really good thing going in north van.

For those of you who are curious about the effectiveness of fuel stabilizers, check out Project Farm's experiment that took place over five (5) years!


Note 1: He tests using E10 fuel, so not E15 in case any of you are going to cry about it.
Note 2: If you haven't followed any of his videos, they are not in any way 100% scientific, but there is a method to his madness, and if anything, practical in most situations. This was an interesting watch.
Note 3: I won't spoil it for you but Project Farm's title already did - There really was only one fuel stabilizer that worked. Everything else is as good as Toyota trash.

Sta-Bil ftw

Guangdong spoiler! :mad:

So my last beefy comp was purchased in 2020 during the pandemic. I got it just for Flight Sim 2020. RTX 2080 super, i7 9800k etc. It was alienware, it was relatively cheap considering at that time, the comp market was exploading and all GPU's were harvested for crypto. I paid around 4k for it.

Fast forward to me sitting at home the other day, wondering hmmmm i could use more power. I went online to newegg and canadian computer to build my new gaming rig. Came out to ~$4500.. :heckno:

Then i went to costco and found this beast for almost 800 bucks cheaper

It came on friday... and by saturday, i was already returning it to costco. WAY TOO LOUD.
Ugh, i forgot how friggin loud all these fans are. Im using a mac mini as a daily driver, and i cant stand the sound of these stupid fans.

^results are good... i mean its a 145% higher benchmark than my 2080 super. On my 48inch odyssey g9, its pretty epic. VR performance was good as well but my quest 2 was holding it back.

Then upon researching what the hell to do now, i found this Cloud computing thing called Geforce Now. You basically pay money (or you can try the free version) to rent a computer, they host your games and then stream it to you. You can even put it on a amazon firestick and connect a bluetooth controller/keyboard mouse and game via a firestick!! (you can basically put it on anything, ipad, your TV with a firestick, any old computer as long as it has decent internet connection). It uses your steam library and majority of the titles are supported. So instead of paying 4500 bucks for a new gaming PC, ive transitioned to cloud gaming and able to keep my office absolutely silent while still using my mac mini

Generally works great when latency isn't critical.
FPS Games or stuff like Assassin's creed doesn't work well.

Yeah I've always used Stabil in my yard tool fuel, but It's still a good idea to drain the carbs over winter.

I tried Counter Strike 2 and its been working quite well. Not competitive gaming for sure, but for yerr average geezer, its pretty decent.

That's more than my car cost me lol. I'm glad the only gaming I do is on my phone. Freemium games have barely taken $100 from me over nearly a decade now :lol

Asian win!

I mean if nothing was actually wrong with your old tower and you're fine with streaming you *probably* don't need a $4500 tower.

But if the fans are annoying you Steam in home streaming is pretty handy, you can stick the tower elsewhere and play on basically anything. Or just run long cables lol.

Just upgrade the fans to noctua and make a custom fan curve or just put the computer in another room. Linus has all his computers in his basement and uses fiber for all the connections.

Well this GeForce now shit is even better. No need to keep the hardware at home. Can take it anywhere and just plug in a firestick to start gaming. Hell I can literally play from the tv at work… just plug in fire stick to hdmi, load up internet and go. Spent an hour today playing team fortress 2 at work

Ah shit, you wanna be our 4th?

$4k gaming machines!?
i feel like i'm in the watch thread with the amount of ballin' going on here.

thats actually not expensive. They used to be way more money during the pandemic and/crypto craze. 3090s and 4090's were sometimes 2-3k for just the graphics card.

man i remember the days where i used to build a fairly decent 'budget' pc for $1000 and it could play AAA games on medium settings. for $1500 you could get fairly close to top of the line. Some components got more expensive others got cheaper, but video cards have shot through the roof now. i blame displays for being too high res before video cards could catch up.
