I've got a friend from Arizona visiting me in Minnesota this weekend. I think we did this wrong.

Fall/winter/spring is incredible in FL, and the summers really aren't that bad on the coast. I made a mistake buying a scooter because now I want a Supermoto even worse now, the weather has been perfect for riding  Still have a Miata for that too though

But you're a mod, can't you find out for sure?

rscott posted:What? Yes you can. It takes far less labor hours to fix poo poo like that because of useful time saving devices and technological advancement that makes replacing water mains and grading roads and other things way way easier. Like seriously, the entire history of technological advancement thus far has been to do poo poo with less labor time, which either means that the same number of people do the same amount of work in less hours, or less people do the same amount of work with the same amount of hours. I still disagree. You still need people to go in and hand dig a line out after the labor saving device has excavated the pipe. You can grade a road with one person with a road grader (but road grading was done by a team of horses and 2 people) but I think your views are skilled. Robots can only do so much until human skills take over. Perfect example is on the railroad. We use remote control locomotives to switch cars with 2 people (2 switchman) on one end of the yard and the other end uses a 3 man crew (1 engineer 2 switchmen), and they consistently out switch the remote control units on a daily basis. So much in fact that right we are so backed up on cars they run both ends of the yard with 3 man crews. But the company keeps throwing money at a failed technology because they are going to make it look good on paper. Technology is only as good as the person programing it.

Nah, the purchasing system has next to fuckall to do with the forums, and mods have no access to it. It would basically take Lowtax sifting through purchase histories to try and figure out who.

You can grade a road with one person with a road grader (but road grading was done by a team of horses and 2 people) but I think your views are skilled. Robots can only do so much until human skills take over. You're missing the point of what I'm saying. Eliminating human labor entirely is not going to happen until the singularity or w/e but so far in human history technology mainly exists and is developed so that one person can do the work of many others. That is fine when economies are rapidly expanding as during industrialization, but when an economy reaches the point where most people have enough material things to live comfortably and population growth slows down, the increased productivity that technological progress brings simply does not result in as many new jobs being created as ones that are eliminated through increases in efficiency. Ask some greybeard at your work how many people it took to move the same amount of tonnage through the yard 30 or 40 years ago, or how many engineers it took to run a train. Or to run a freight ship, or an airplane, or a ton of other traditionally blue collar jobs. The average American worker is over twice as productive as they were in 1970 but there isn't twice as much poo poo in America as there was 20 years ago. This isn't inherently a bad thing except when you combine it with the weird flavor of protestant work ethic and fygm mentality that makes up American Exceptionalism. That leads to the imho perverse situation where you have some people working 3 jobs to put food on the table while someone else can't find work at all when there is more than enough work and wealth to go around that most everyone can work a reasonable amount of hours for a comfortable lifestyle which makes everyone happier and better off in the end. Now cue all the traditional liberal responses about personal responsibility and individualism and the freedom to starve and all that other poo poo

The real issue here is that our economy, our population, hell, our EVERYTHING is predicated on maintaining exponential growth. Which is a no-win game. Until the last few centuries, that was just how you kept humanity alive. Now? It will be our downfall, if we don't do something about it rather quickly. Note: there is no acceptable, good "something" to do. Eugenics is incredibly morally repulsive, you can see exactly how well "one child" worked out in China, etc.

That thing would be downright scary on the street. Also, you can get into trouble with a scooter if you try hard enough!

My dream bike right now is the Yamaha WR250X, I'll have one eventually but they are so rare I'll probably have to go out of state to get one  [e] Also yeah, already getting into trouble on the scoot

What the gently caress is all this? I don't even know which sub forum I am in any more. In other news, ran out of fuel, had a long walk to fill up a jerry can. Now the ute has no power, cuts out under load, probably fuel pump dying. I'll try the main filter first, but the pump has a fine strainer that may be blocked anyway, even if the pump isn't dying. Procedure to get to fuel pump/strainer in a falcon ute: Option 1. Put ute on hoist, disconnect prop shaft, handbrake, brakes etc and move rear axle back, remove fuel tank... Option 2 remove tray liner, remove whole complete tray bed (in my case means canopy too) Probably going for option 2 I guess as working under a car with no decent driveway is impossible.

Jamal, how long are you in town for? I'm going to be in the Phoenix area tomorrow night getting food and drinks with some car guys if you want to hang out. This is open to any of you Phoenix area guys as well. Just send me an email at my username at gmail. rscott posted:we have a bunch of mazak 5 axis and they are pretty nice, but I don't think the proprietary poo poo is that hard to learn I might be making some fixtures on it so it'd be nice to know...
