Also, LOL at the gordon ramsey promo. I lost my kitchen and now living with family temporarily. I'm not allowed to use the oven or stove top (they're neat freaks) so I was looking into a air frier or small benchtop oven. I ended up with a benchtop oven as it's more useful for things like simple grilling (I keep my bread in a freezer and grill one side for to defrost it which also makes a better non soggy pro sandwich). Also easily fits the single aussie mans staple of a meat pie with a large tray of chips dinner, plus it goes a higher temp and fits larger things like full freshly homemade pizzas. When I move on I can use it for circuit board reflowing I guess? Fo3 fucked around with this message at 13:18 on Dec 4, 2017 |

They use the oven for cutting board storage! They weren't even going to keep the oven or get a new stove top for their bench when they replaced the bench top recently. They only got a new bech stove top because other family members chided them into it citing it will devalue the house. They were fully going to buy and use a cheap plug in induction plate. They rather use cheap appliances they can chuck out rather than maintain fixed kitchen equipment. They use a lovely electric frypan or microwave for most of their own cooking, so they bitch if I wanted to use the oven or use a saucepan on their new induction top - don't want to scratch the top or get a fry pans and saucepan dirty... So I use my pressure cooker as a pot (it's electric and has brown/simmer function as well as pressure cook), and the small benchtop oven/grill and just keep to myself.

Are they just treating it as ornamental? how do they cook anything? even if you live on takeaways and simple food you still need to use the oven and stove occasionally, if only to warm up your leftovers. Can you not just buy the cleaning equipment in advance of using it in order to appease them?

puberty worked me over posted:When will someone make a USDM car light as the Miata or MR-S that doesn't feel like a wobbly wet noodle? I bought a fully set up miata drove the piss out of it on track and felt like it just wasn't stiff enough even with good coilovers and a hard top. Spending several thousand on weight increasing bracing just seems silly. Trying to figure out a good sub 2500-lb track car and I feel like everyone screamed "miata is the answer" and I just felt underwhelmed. Power wasn't the issue either. Coilovers and hardtop do little to nothing for chassis rigidity; the NA is really floppy stock. A butterfly brace, fender braces and tower bars will do a lot for not a lot of money or weight. It's all pretty well documented.

Not sure what "fully set up" Miata is or exactly what you mean by wet noodle, but regardless. The reason Miata is the answer is that the weaknesses are solved problems and up to a pretty high build spec there's nothing you have to re-engineer to not have it holding you back. The geometry is basically right, you don't have to deal with the flaws inherent in struts, and you can buy bolt-on solutions to what issues there are, and you can't really buy anything similarly light and RWD. The BR-Z is always going to be held back somewhat by struts, ditto for almost everything else. Integra GSRs / the other wishbone Hondas are in a similar boat, just FWD.

I had a kind of similar problem in an explorer. It would shift with a lot of effort but when you put it in park it wouldnt engage all the way , causing the car to roll if you were on a hill. It ended up being two very loose screws where the shifter mounted underneath the dashboard. Tightened them up and everything was fixed.

Tomarse posted:Pick some certification on something that you don't know so well that your employer either uses/does, or should use/do and then get it done. I guess. Trust me, he's being vague. Earlier, he mention learning about IOT, like it's a small, defined little filed. Or like we do anything IOT internally. Never mind that I'm a contractor, where, while I'm included in, like company functions and such, it doesn't feel like their willing to give me anything decent because I'm not permanent, yet won't make me permanent because I'm only doing basic stuff, y'know? I'm willing to admit that I may just be a whiny sadbrains about it. Hell, I'd take more menial-work if it came to that. As a contractor, I get nervous when I'm not busy, because that starts to feel like they don't need me. It's desktop IT, though - it comes and goes in spurts. Right now I'm focusing on learning everything I can get my hands on about Zoom, our third party chat/audio-video conferencing system. there's a few hours of video tutorials and training available for that. I think I'd like to at least try for Network+, since I actually trained in it at tech school, just never took the CompTIA exam, and I'd like to move away from Desktop a little for compensation reasons. Tesla/Musk chat: At this point, I don't really care if Tesla is successful as a company - well, I mean, I would love for them to keep challenging everything and remain viable - but at this point, they are putting a boot to the rear end of everyone else, which, honestly, I think is Musk's intention. I'm sure he'd like to make money, but I fell like his primary goal is to light a fire on several industries that have been slow to advance certain areas due to real or perceived cost, or lack of perceived market. He's showing that people do want this stuff, and they will pay for it, and even more so if it's cost-effective. I can't afford a Model S, and probably can't afford a Model 3, but the more this stuff gets out there, the cheaper it gets. People are already hacking wrecked Teslas, Leafs, and Volts. Hyperloop may not pan out, but I bet it spawns some interesting, useful stuff. Space-X is literally taking off. Musk is driving poo poo forward, hopefully in a good direction.

That cash burn is just the cost of r&d for revolutionary technologies surely. It's only because it's a corporation that you get to watch it happen in real time. People are a lot less interested in say nasa's (limited) budget for certain. Makes a interesting comparison to a company like (modern day) apple which didn't r&d anything and just repackaged technologies already expensively developed by the US government 🤔 makes u think 🤔

Which revolutionary technologies did Tesla invent again? Inefficient production lines? Getting shareholders to sign on to your money burning vision? Seriously, I like Musk but the big innovations Tesla seems to be pushing is just *doing* things whether or not they actually make business sense.

while the idea may not be revolutionary, the implementation, control and packaging into a desirable package are the driving factors. He's really the Steve Jobs of the market he is tackling (vertical business integration, tight control of supply/demand, locked down access, etc).

It's not like smartphones didn't exist prior to the iPhone, but let's face it, the overall experience of Winmo or Palm was utter poo poo in comparison. Taking a concept that exists on the edge of a market and refining it to where the average person views it as a desirable product is sometimes the hardest part.

I like the Steve Jobs/Apple comparison. Tesla isn't using revolutionary technologies but Elon Musk is managing to run a car company like a technology company rather than like a typical car manufacturer. Even if it doesn't work out in the long run because it haemorrhages too much money, hopefully it will shake up the processes of the existing car manufacturers and cause them to work harder at innovation and bringing new stuff to market quickly.

Also you and I must consider struts to be two different things because the stock BRZ suspension doesn't look a whole lot different than the stock Miata suspension. Are you stating the fact that the bottom of the front struts are held in with two bolts vs the miata's one that makes a huge difference? So below:  vs  Is a huge deal? Does the miata's double control arm setup with the strut going through the upper make it handle light years better? puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Dec 5, 2017 |
