Hey, what does everyone use for automated Craiglist/eBay searches these days?
I'm going to try and corral my auto ADD and focus on one dream car and use the time saved from not obsessively checking CL to actually making that dream happen.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Makes me want to get back into BEAM robotics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEAM_robotics

I built a few BEAM robots back in middle school and high school. Looked into it again about a year back and it has not really advanced much. It doesn't help that Tilden was always very close-mouthed about his advanced designs, and for most people it was a goddamn miracle if they could get a simple bicore soldered up properly--there were very few people involved who had proper education in electronics design, so I and most others were basically just cargo-culting. Now I've got a computer engineering degree but BEAM circuits are still a little weird because they tend to use components in a different way than most normal circuits.

I still think a 4-motor (or 8-motor) walker with a microcontroller as a rider/brain would be interesting but these days I'd just as soon play with cars instead.

So far as I can tell, bunch of offsite poo poo over Lowtax having once employed Shmorky, who has turned out to be a terrible crazy person in his private life apparently. Offsite people assdamaged because SA's not really cool with hating on trans people and openly trying to troll them off the site. They started doxxing mods and trans thread posters in the lamest, least actually effective 'doxxing' possible, and the screamy bits since have caused some drama among the staff that I don't know poo poo about and don't want to.

Jesus.
I've never really understood the gay/trans hate. I seriously don't car who fucks whom. Just don't make a big deal out of it either way.

As an aside from forums drama...

While delivering some furniture to a friend last weekend I noticed a nice S10 parked off to the side. The engine is toast (over heated) and she either wants to sell it or have someone fix it depending on the price. Any idea what this would be worth based on this description? No rust, southern truck, automatic.

quote:

2001 4X4 Chevy s10 ZR2 package. It has a third door and third seat. Windows and door locks are electronic. it has a bed liner and sliding rear window. Miles are less than 130,000. Rebuilt transmission, new transfer case, radiator, water pump, and tires. It needs work on the engine, brakes and drivers door needs new door hinges. Dent in rear fender/bumper. Very few other dents or scratches. Still sharp looking inside and out just needs some serious TLC and know how on vehicles ( which I do not have). If you have any other questions just let me know! Thanks so much again!!


Think she said if she sold it as is she wanted $1k and a new engine is available for $800 from advance auto

It's hard to say without seeing it, but it's probably worth $3500-4K repaired. If it was mine, I would fix it. S10's with no rust are getting hard to come by.

Kinda strange that it overheated with a new radiator and water pump. It may have just popped a manifold gasket. I would look closer before tossing an engine in it.

I have no idea. The only things I've posted are how I'm not dealing with her death well. I was told that her husband loving hates me so maybe he's throwing out accusations.

Edit: today was the first time I'd felt sort of good too. So much for that.
