All they have are a bunch of statements taken out of context. The more they scream "RACIST! BIGOT! YOU HATE ALL PEOPLE OF X ORIGIN", the more it becomes a joke.
Kinda like sensationalists calling everyone they don't like Hitler.
Modern turbines automatically self-furl as required, in much the same way that modern helicopter blades will auto-gyro in the event of an engine failure, and the mechanisms that do this work better if they are bigger.
Just looked this up. That is fucking COOL. Really neat engineering. Not the most complicated thing but still, really neat.
No diagrams, the other guy working with me on this/was/ doing the diagrams since we're pretty much making most of this up on the fly depending on what fits in with what the carpenters are doing and have figured out what most of the stuff goes to.
Owner said he didn't want to pay him to make wiring diagrams, wasted of money/time we could spend on the boat. At least we have most of it labeled now.
Dealing with this right now. Wiring an 80 foot carbon fiber sailboat, I think I'm about the 6th electrician that has worked on this.
Bundles of wires about half a foot in diameter, all unlabeled, all white until you cut the outer insulation off. I see why the last several quit after a few weeks.
None of this makes any sense. One of them somehow thought 4 gauge cable would be enough to run 500 amps over 60 feet. The wire chases are under the deck which has already been glued on years ago, there is no access to put new stuff in, no chase or anything, unreachable by hand.
It's boring for a lot of spectators because going in a circle for eternity isn't very interesting, high speed or not. It gives the illusion that no skill is required because "They're just driving in a circle".
Too bad they killed off Group B. That was pretty exciting.
Banking websites require 1 capital, 1 symbol, and 1 number in the password, doesn't allow you to use the back button and logs you out after 5 minutes but then allows you to reset your password by knowing your pet's name, your birthday, or some other ridiculously easy to find information.
This is exactly how I won a number of bets with friends of mine.
"$5 says I can break into your Email account!"
The best one (Worst?) was Myway Email. A small number of questions (Birthday, where do you live, pets name) and it gave me, in cleartext on the website, the password. That friend of mine admitted that password went to a LOT more than his Email.
This was years ago and I would think things are more secure now, but perhaps not.
I can recall several years ago a story about two young girls, not even in middle school becoming registered sex offenders for sending pictures of themselves to each other. Under current laws, they were "producing child pornography".
Sure, there are a lot of sick fucks out there, but the current method is completely broken.
Reliability issues aside, why would I want to make a simple mechanical device a complex electromechanical device that is possibly internet connected (Because you damn well know police and three letter agencies are jizzing in their pants at the thought of remotely disabling guns).
Neat idea if it can be made reliable, but no thanks. Especially when particular states such as NJ have already passed laws that would effectively make smart guns the only guns for sale.
My safety involves locks, trigger discipline and never pointing it at something I care about. At the moment it has a flawless track record.
Ironically mine doesn't even have a safety, just a decocker.
What volvo did you drive? I've always been pretty happy with their handling, though I've only driven 1997 models and older. Not as good as my classic Saab, but that's to be expected with macpherson struts.
Do I think other automakers are cheating on emissions tests right now? Yes, yes I do, and I have said as much. I also think we'll see more of them get dinged for it.
If this is confined to newer drones, I'd bet that a bean counter somewhere decided they could cut costs by putting in a 90 amp alternator instead of a 130 amp alternator.
We need to get an unmolested ECU (Junkyard from totaled car?) and an ECU from a car that went in for this supposed update, then find a way to dump the firmware.
I bet the folks over at ECUproject.com could help out with this.
It would be pretty interesting to compare the two.
Even just getting a 'scope and see how the injector pulses compare at idle and different engine loads, assuming it doesn't use mechanical "jerkbox" injection.

Check out the sheer number of chain and chain guides in newer Audi's.

And this is the end facing the firewall, so to service any of this shit you will be removing the engine.
I would love to see how they stand up to studded or chained snow tires.
Why the goddamn road?
Why not above the road? The side of the road? Parking lots as a sun shade for drivers? Roofs of public buildings?
he wants to throw out all the Muslims.
Not even a Trump supporter, but [CITATION NEEDED].
He said he wants to put a temporary ban on middle-eastern immigrants, not "Throw out all the Muslims".
This is something that our current administration already did back in 2011 for 6 months:

As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News
That is a great example as well.
That's a lot of sweeping generalizations Mr. DewDude, if that is your real name.
Some people are more equal than others.

Your rights end where their feelings begin.
Can we stop calling opposing political opinions "trolling" and "hate speech"?
The word has lost all meaning at this point.
Unless people actually think Trump is doing what he is doing for the lulz and purely to bother people.

When I put a hitch on my car (e46 BMW) my neighbors thought I was nuts.
I love seeing BMWs with hitches and the reaction from people. Something about it is really amusing.
"It can't tow things, it isn't a truck!"
I'm assuming it was the glorious |6 engine?
Holy shit. Reproduction Hemicuda when?

But don't you know that supporting [Candidate x] means you are literally Hitler or are voting for literally Hitler?
It's like you don't even know it's [THE CURRENT YEAR].
Don't forget that there are many young, underage kids that are now sex offenders in the glorious United States.
"Throughout the United States, children as young as nine years old who are adjudicated delinquent may be subject to sex offender registration laws"

I'll trust what you have to say after you tell me how many Rockwell Turbo encabulators you have worked on.

That second link is pretty interesting, thanks. Seems like something people never really hear about.
