So I passed a Ford Ranger in traffic. As I went by, the passenger side window came down and a huge billow of smoke came out. Cigarette, Cigar, 420, Vape, or meltdown? I'll never know for sure, but it was definitely

I don't know what a "normal" amount of vaping is, but I know she's taking 5-8 long pulls about every 8-10 minutes at this point. i know for me using 6mg/ml juice i would take one to three big hits every minute for 10-15 minutes at a time. i vaped the equivalent of 2 - 3 packs of cigs a day

Nicotine is regarded by some as carcinogenic i just gave my brother my ecig so here's to hoping that helps the temptation go away. Even though i woke up feeling better today now that I'm stressed out studying for finals all i can think about is pulling out my vape and hitting it for a very long time

I should probably try and quit again this week. I usually end up failing when the missus starts in about being a grumpy prick though, which amazes me since she quit last year. Still, not her fault I can't manage it, I think i'll take the vapor genie and disappear into the bush for 8 hours a day, might help avoiding people.

Bentley is now in country, and should be here in a weeks time.  I went straight from radiation to hiking for three hours with the dog, i think i have actually overdid it. came home and slept for 3 hours. the weekends rc racing went pretty good considering i have not testet the car since january, and never on astro for this chassis. I even got to wreck the day (and buggy) of a idiot who ignored blue flag rules

So, Freiburger has kinda been hinting a lot about the possibility of them doing a Hellcat swap on the Roadkill Charger, and they uploaded this about half an hour ago: That's the old 440 from the Charger on that pallet. This is gonna be awesome

Modification should be strictly illegal without justification and a notary stamp.

Yup brother's timing belt is snapped. There's loose belt teeth floating around the engine bay and in the street. That's three cars out of action since Friday afternoon. That's enough, things can stop breaking now. I know we have a few midwest people in this thread. Any of those have experience in power distribution, liquid/air cooling or high power density computing? Dad's been trying to fill a position for a while and has asked me to mention it to people I know. Position is in Chippewa Falls, WI. Thought I'd toss it out here. Anyone interested PM me.

KozmoNaut posted:http://www.autoblog.com/2015/04/20/automakers-gearheads-car-repairs/ Sadly after the experience with my loving "Commodore", the manufacturers are going to get to that point anyway. I've bought the last new car I will ever have, I can see where this is all going wether we like it or not. Well gently caress em, no more money from me. Like they will care anyway, people that want to work on cars are already an endangered species, selling an appliance to the vast majority who only want appliances makes much more money.

Cat Terrist posted:Like they will care anyway, people that want to work on cars are already an endangered species Seriously. Spent a few hours blasting down the freeway with my old man in his C63, and as our conversations invariably do, it turned to whatever poo poo we've been doing on our cars. I mentioned doing a fairly straightforward ATF change on my WJ, and he comes back with what he had to do to change the ATF in the C63:   That's right, instead of a funnel you now need a special tool to fill the loving transmission. At least it's one you can fabricate since it's basically the same principle as a DIY pressure bleeder for brakes, but this is still the way things are going.

Land Rover did one better and you actually need to vacuum out the old oil in order to do an oil change on the latest LR4 and Range Rover.

Not essentially true, if you change the infill and shells properly, they are perfectly usable. Not to mention, add a heated bed and you can print with Nylon or ABS as well: http://www.matterhackers.com/3d-printer-filament-compare I'm actually printing the Belt Gears right now, and the extruder feed gears are also printed.

I was thinking more along the lines of making small interior trim pieces, gauge holders, replacing broken plastic pieces. Solutions to small problems, and applications where they're unlikely to be under much stress. Even around the house it would come in handy. The other applications you mentioned (proto, and molds) would be pretty useful. Plus there's probably quite a few more problems that become that much easier if you have a 3D printer handy. Once we get 3D printers that can make more robust products, that's going to be truly revolutionary.

It's really a cost barrier more than anything. Laser sintered parts can robust, but the process and materials are not cheap. FDM/FFF works pretty well when you design the part for the process as opposed to trying to print a part that was designed for injection molded.
