That, and the fact that Weather Underground shows a lot of personal weather station data so someone probably has theirs sitting in the sun.

Its superior German engineering. GM did a water cooled alternator on the Northstar motors, went over like a lead balloon, switched back to a heavy duty cooling model. Water cooling an alternator seems like a great idea in terms of keeping poo poo cool, but it just makes poo poo 20 times more complicated.

Hit 91F at 62% humidity today, calculated heat index of 104. Of course, that's outside; inside my car with a black interior? My A/C works great, but it's somewhat ineffective when my armrest is still noticably radiating heat after a 15-minute drive. My loving sunglasses steamed up when I got in to go to school.

I was literally sprint across a parking lot trying to get it out of the hail which had been falling for about 15s. 85 dents. She was never the same. I post in memoriam:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLfCnGVeL4 This is the song that plays in my brain when I realize that my evo is now the shitbox import being driven by a 17 year old who doesn't change the oil.

Geirskogul posted:I have no clue how many people I've inadvertently thrown into eventual bankruptcy with my transports in the last week alone, but I do know it's more than one. There's a hospital in-town that has two "campuses" that share the same parking lot, It probably helped that I wasn't yet admitted and wasn't a threat to myself, hadn't even finished the paperwork - they wanted to get my vitals first, then saw the BP.. so they just had an employee escort me and get me checked in to the big hospital. About a 200 ft walk. Going to be in one hell of a benzo haze for a few days, so don't expect too much from me. Also went back on my metformin, which has absolutely wrecked my bowels. Anyone got some hemorrhoid wipes?

Windshield on the Corolla got loving destroyed on the way home tonight, I have no idea what I hit but it sounded big, guessing a bird of some kind. No chip, just a big loving impact spot with lots of fun spiderweb cracks.

I'd rather drink a bottle of snap-on water. It may be $8 for a bottle that size, but ask any professional, they wouldn't trust anything less for their hydration.

Snapon water is just rebadged evian these days. At least it isn't HF water, pretty sure they just brokered a disposal deal with the fracking companies.

But the quality of the snap on water is only part of it, the support behind it is worth the added cost. edit: i got some about 1 square foot flat icepacks with some medication that was shipped to me. I keep them in the fridge, and before i got to bed throw one inside the pillowcase of one of my pillows. Keeps the pillow cool for a good hour. I might actually survive the summer. I also keep some in the freezer, and lay it in my chest or lay on it after i'm out doin hot stuff. Best thing ever. Looking it up, a case of 12 is only $16, seems like it would be a good investment in that heat. https://us.vwr.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?product_id=4597650 Powershift fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Apparently I just won a GoPro Hero3+ Silver Edition. I'm not really sure what I'm going to be doing with it, but it does 720p120 and 1080p60, which is nice. I think I might use it for some nice 120fps car racing footage if I get it before the Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix kicks off in 1½ week's time. I'll have to think up further ways to embarrass myself on hi-speed video.

About a year and a half ago, I left a scathing review of a local car wash. Not because of the wash, but that they round up to the next dollar when running my card (and didn't tell me). When calling to discuss it a few days later, they said management told them to do that. Asked for a manager, got hung up on twice, then the phone was left off the hook. Just got an email on Yelp from "one of the managers" offering me a free wash and detail. They've changed their name (again), but the reviews still pop up for the old name. Drove by the other day, nice big "FREE WINDSHIELD REPAIR" banner on the building. Why no, this doesn't sound scammy at all, nor does it sound like they want me to pull my bad review down. Yelp first world problems.  I might give them a shot for a basic wash, but I'm not going to mention the email. They seem to change their name every year or two anyway.

going to buy a new sluice (http://www.goldsearchaustralia.com/index.php/our-products/accessories/sluices-dredges-concentrators/au-trap-recon-sluice.html) today, my old ones starting to bow on the bottom and i got to watch a nice little nugget shoot out from under the mat into the waste pile. I wonder how much ended up in the waste pile before i realised the loving thing was letting it out.

I wonder how much ended up in the waste pile before i realised the loving thing was letting it out. $100 for what looks like a piece of molded plastic? Clearly we're back to the thing that happened in the west coast US gold rush where you're better off selling picks than operating them.

Motronic posted:$100 for what looks like a piece of molded plastic? yeah pretty much, but upgrading my current setup (homebuilt dodgy) will end up running about the same if I want to keep it reasonably portable. I'm accumulating supplies to build an eight foot long high banker for the fixed side of the operation, in the meantime I'll run this in the recirculating setup and I can take it out and drop it in a stream without having to worry about bending the bloody thing either.
