Just bought 2 gallons of valvoline and an oil filter for $110. It’s almost worth taking it somewhere for a change at this rate

Seems like it used to cost $50-$60 a few years ago

Edit: seems I’ve been misunderstood. The $110 was for the oil and filter for me to do this myself. I’m not taking it to a shop, never have.

For more info, this is for a 2015 Silverado. Takes 8 quarts. I bought 2 gallons because 1 gallon and 3 quarts was only $5 less. Valvoline and Wix

Lesson learned. Will order online next time

I’m in the process of finding a place I want to live within an hour of my work, with certain places out of the question.

Came across a couple interesting places, but didn’t have enough info in the listing for me to want to pursue.
A couple really interesting places, but needed some work so I wasn’t sure if it would qualify for conventional financing.

The way I’ve been approaching it is to look until I find a property I absolutely want. Find an agent, find a lender, make an offer.
I didn’t want to go to an agent earlier, and have them recommend me 10 houses, I don’t like any of them, and I’m wasting their time.

Am I doing it the best way?

Btw I am “preapproved”, but they didn’t take my credit score or anything. Literally just asked what my estimated purchase price would be and immediately sent back an approval, like its computer generated

Been off zyn for between 7-8 weeks (don’t remember the date)
I feel a lot more tired, even though I’m well past withdrawals and it’s out of my system. Constantly knowing that if I had a zyn in, I’d be much more alert and capable.
I sleep a lot worse. I feel better when I wake, but I can’t sleep as long.

The only benefit I can see is that my cardio has greatly improved, which is why I am staying off. But the thought crosses my mind every couple of days

I always tell myself I’ll come back to em, even though I want to explore. I just dont want to spoil any quests that might be there

However, it seems like I might be missing a lot. It’s hard to find side quests.

For reference. I have beaten this game multiple times, but it was so long ago I hardly remember much about the game. So this almost feels like the first time again

I have a 2015 Silverado 1500. I’m a single guy in my 20s for reference.
I work for a traveling company. I may go somewhere for 6-12 months at a time.

Looking for a camper to live in while I’m out of town for extended periods, and I have a motorcycle I’d like to bring with me. Right now I have an enclosed trailer for it, but I’d probably sell it off. Seems like most toy haulers are either meant for larger trucks, or don’t offer much living space. Maybe I just haven’t looked hard enough.

Kind of thinking about buying some land, building a garage, and living in this camper in the garage too. So consider it full time living

Anyone have suggestions please?

I’m looking at houses in my area - cheap older 2 bed 1 baths are about $150,000-$170,000 on 1/4 acre.

I have a construction background, designed myself the simplest house I could. 24x48 rectangle, no fancy finishes, laminate floors, etc. Figure I could do the framing, grading, running water/plumbing, flooring, etc. I just wouldn’t do the block foundation.

If I could get 3-4 acres for 50,000, get well, septic, power for $25,000, that would leave 75,000-95,000 to even out with the cheaper 2 bed 1 bath.

It seems like building is riskier, but possibly the better product for a similar amount of money. But I’ve never done it before. Would like some opinions.

For reference, most of the construction I’ve done is horizontal, not vertical.

Started gaining weight back after initially losing water the first week.

I’m eating 1 meal a day. 1lb beef, 6 eggs, 4oz cream cheese. It’s about 2000 calories. Eat it around 4-5pm.

I feel satiated until the next day. Get a few hunger pings in the morning. Around 11-12 I spend the last few hours just thinking about how hungry I am, makes it hard to concentrate on work. But obviously if I eat more than I burn, I will gain weight.

Also just wondering if it’s a period where you have to adapt to being hungry and you get used to it? - just knowing you are getting the proper amount of calories

I don’t want to be held to progress reports and certain time constraints to get a house built (because I’m going to build most of it myself, and it’s going to take a while.

Could you use a PLOC for something like this?

Also, I imagine it’s better to get loans for garage apartments, so I’m leaning simple budget house. (Cheap finishing, rectangle, two story)

I mainly run archers.

However, I want infantry protecting my flanks.
In a battle with ideal terrain, not a problem. I situate all my guys and they don’t move.

But in an area that isn’t great terrain, I normally engage my archers in loose formation, so they can fall back on their own and keep firing, not letting anyone (other than cavalry) reach them.
However, if I engage the archers, the only way to have the flanks continue protecting is to manually move them each time the archers move (which is frequent)

I can make it work, but I would spend most of the battle doing that instead of looking for new opportunities, or killing

Pretty much brand new.
I’m not sure how to tell which heroes are worth investing in.

I have Kael, Pelops, Hope. I’ve neglected Hope because everything I see says invest everything into Kael. So I’ve split all my leveling resources between Kael and Pelops.

My lvl 6 Hope still has better stats than my lvl 25 Kael. So why does HellHades rank a rare Kael higher than an epic Hope?

I besiege with a tiny party, because I see an army of 1700 nearby.

However, for the last 15 in-game days, this army has switched between traveling to a friendly castle, and traveling to this castle to besiege at least 3x an in-game day. It’s just back and forth in the same spot.

I wish they would come and help, or at least go do something. But they are in the same spot, switching between the same two commands

I will say, this game has been playable for my last 300 hours of playtime.

But as of late, anytime I’m in a battle for more than 5 minutes, the game becomes unplayable. It drops to less than 1FPS. It is literally, a frame moves every few seconds.

Close the game, reload. The game runs amazingly until about 5 minutes into battle. It’s like the snap of a finger, and unplayable.

GPU temp upon closing: 63 degrees

No idea what’s causing it
