1500quidporsche posted:Am I crazy or does that appear to be some ghetto attempt to convert a macpherson strut into a double wishbone design? It's already a double wishbone from what I could tell, but they're trying to compensate for excessive negative camber introduced by lowering the car. Instead of putting an adjustable upper control arm on, they've booger welded an extension block and a heim joint onto the end of the original arm and called it a day.

The 2006 r18 motors had a factory casting defect that caused the block to crack and all your coolant to evacuate. They can't seem to win with new platforms. On the r18 issue, they basically gave owners an infinity warranty for a new engine though. I assume this will have similar ramifications. ~earth dreams~ is a cooler name than R18

This is honda, and not a motorcycle. bet .3 hours warranty pay for inspection. engine probably has to be removed, head pulled, pan pulled, each rod unbolted and piston pulled from the top. expect minimum 15-20 hours labor.

This is my favourite Lowe quote, from Things I Won’t Work With: Chalcogen Polyazides.quote:Ranking my equipment in terms of its shrapneliferousness is not something that’s ever occurred to me, I have to say. It’s safe to assume that any procedure which involves considering which parts of the apparatus I’d prefer to have flying past me will not get much business in my lab, no matter how dashing I might look in a leather suit.

Everyone has a favourite from TIWWW. This passage is mine.quote:. . . today’s paper goes a step further and makes an N-oxide out of a nitrogen on a nitrotetrazole ring. This both adds more oxygen and tends to make the crystal packing tighter, which raises the all-important kapow/gram ratio. (There is, of course, little reason to do this unless you feel that life is empty without sudden loud noises).

I'm partial to the article on hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane, or CL-20.quote:There’s a recent report of a method to make a more stable form of it, by mixing it with TNT. Yes, this is an example of something that becomes less explosive as a one-to-one cocrystal with TNT. Although, as the authors point out, if you heat those crystals up the two components separate out, and you’re left with crystals of pure CL-20 soaking in liquid TNT, a situation that will heighten your awareness of the fleeting nature of life. E: quote:Moving on out, as you do in a systematic name, I see that this is a hexaaza variation, which makes the picture a bit fuzzier. That’s a lot of nitrogens substituted for carbons, and the first thought is that this must be some weirdo condensation product of ammonia, some aldehyde, and who knows what. You can get some pretty funny-looking structures that way, like hexamethylenetetramine (which I’ve actually used a couple of times). I don’t know where those nitrogens are, I think to myself, but I’ll bet that’s how they got there, because any other pattern would be a synthetic nightmare. So far, so good. But now comes the unexpected habanero. For reference, our good friend nitromethane (CH3NO2) has just one humble nitro group per molecule.

The phrase "heightened awareness of the fleeting nature of life" made its way into my vernacular a long time ago, and was especially useful when rewiring the horror story that was my flat.

I prefer Azidoazide Azidequote:Due to their behavior during the process of synthesis, it was obvious that the sensitivities (of these compounds) will be not less than extreme. . . quote:The compound exploded in solution, it exploded on any attempts to touch or move the solid, and (most interestingly) it exploded when they were trying to get an infrared spectrum of it. The papers mention several detonations inside the Raman spectrometer as soon as the laser source was turned on, which must have helped the time pass more quickly. This shows a really commendable level of persistence, when you think about it – I don’t know about you, but one exploding spectrometer is generally enough to make recognize a motion to adjourn for the day. But these folks are a different breed. They ended up having to use a much weaker light source, and consequently got a rather ugly Raman spectrum even after a lot of scanning, but if you think you can get better data, then step right up.

C2N14 sounds like 14 very ADHD children on a sugar high being chaperoned around by two very frazzled carbons. I want absolutely nothing to do with that. Who's up for making some hexaazahexanitroisowurtzitane for the next NEAI?

For some reason I thought the new R1 had a cassete gearbox so when I first read about it I thought it'd be a piece of piss. A guy at a local dealer told me they were panicking because they needed some special tool that Yamaha NZ had yet to even bring into the country despite already sending out the recall letters. This sounds plausible but if it's true, what is the tool for?

Isn't that the same guy who wrote about FOOF ?that guy posted:you run a mixture of oxygen and fluorine through a 700-degree-heating block. “Oh, no you don’t,” is the common reaction of most chemists to that proposal, “. . .not unless I’m at least a mile away, two miles if I’m downwind.”  Also, what the gently caress is going on at Honda?
