MPG chat, looks like I've been tracking for over 25k miles on the TDI - http://www.fuelly.com/car/volkswagen/golf/2000/nitrospazzz/240898 As long as the fucker continues to run I'm going to keep driving it.

There are no cunts in AI just cunty posts. Here is one now: I don't give a whoop about mpg because I am hip and have complicated shoes.

Phone posted:Brave soul. Weather was clear all weekend? Sprinkled morning of Saturday, enough to get the track fairly wet. We had two wrecks - a full-race E36 that lost the front driver's side on the first hot lap of the weekend on 1-2 , and a semi-prepped old square-headlight Integra that lost his front bumper and passenger fender on 4-5 - and one near-miss off on 10. Sunday (which was when the video was taken) was nice; clear and cool all day long. Track was a little crowded for my tastes (I think someone mentioned 35 cars on track at once and 4 run groups), but still a good time. I won't be making that run again, though. At least, not without taking Friday and/or Monday off. Worked more than a full day Friday, got home, waited on my girlfriend to pack and finish up doing her poo poo, etc. etc. Didn't really get moving until around 8:30. Stopped at 12:15 at a motel somewhere in VA about an hour and a half from the track, woke up at 5:00 to for S, S, & S and got to the track with about 15 minutes to spare for the driver's meeting. Missed the last session of the weekend to get an early start back, but thanks to traffic, weather, and a dinner stop we didn't arrive back here until about 9:30pm. On the upside, it was my first session with NASA and I got solo'd and recommended for movement up to DE2; which I can pursue next year.

PaintVagrant posted:Drove a buddies new (to him) AP1 s2000 the other day. Was surprised at how quiet the engine was at idle and low revs, very smooth and quiet compared to K-series engines. My FA5 is very clackity by comparison. I didn't get to cane it too badly, but I I snapped a couple of high rev shifts off and realized that its the best gearbox Ive ever used, and I want an s2000 now. Do it, you will not regret it ever

To be fair, this is pretty much why I can't handle any other groups/forums anymore. too much elitist/special snowflake bullshit.

Jeep/4x4 groups are by far the worst/most entertaining of anything. Our local Off Road Trading Post is seriously one long amazing stream of the craziest bullshit. Kastein admins the thing and eggs people on so bad. The internet tough guy threats of violence towards him are glorious.

mafoose posted:Also, anyone ever done PCB design?  I do PCB design drat near every day. Been doing it for ~15 years as a hobby and about 4 years professionally. Here's a 97-01 XJ auto transmission controller I did recently, actually:  Disregard the purple, the bargain basement PCB fab house I use for prototypes does everything in purple:  It's a 4 layer board, I probably could have avoided 4 layers by spreading the design out more, but I didn't have the enclosure I was designing for (it bolts directly into the stock TCU enclosure once you cut a second hole for the user interface port) on hand when I designed the board, so I just packed it as tightly as I could. If I end up producing them in quantity I'll probably do a serious redesign and spread things out so I can bring it down to two or maybe three layers to reduce PCB fab costs. I have been debating moonlighting/contracting (for a year or two, a couple friends have tried to get me to do stuff for them, and I wanted to...) but right now I'm just too drat busy with the house. Maybe when winter sets in for real.

I have no idea, I don't Arduino - yet. I've always just rolled my own board for everything. I also haven't got the time at the moment sadly. Bug me about when there should be snow on the ground, by then I should have cabin fever and the backlog of other stuff I've already said I might be up for done, and can start thinking about new stuff.

I'm sure the answer is Seriously, like in my experience, most companies won't do something that they don't absolutely have to do until the very last minute, which is why I was shocked that the company I was interning with was showing me how to virtualize servers and maintain their virtualized servers while the forums are probably hosted on an old dell in Richards basement
