I gotta assume the hand sanitizer was a vengeful ex. Sometimes it's obviously just a mix-up (e.g. added washer fluid to the oil cap), sometimes it's something that makes sense if you don't know anything about cars (e.g. topped it up with cooking oil), but I can't come up with any scenario where you end up adding hand sanitizer to your engine in good faith

I've been fighting a mess of corroded parts store grade butt splices on our 1994 RV (allegedly from a mid to high end builder, even) because they thought putting unsealed ones inside loom tubing was perfectly fine protection from the elements when underneath an RV getting blasted by road grime, rain, and salt.

RV builders are basically Limo converters that install furniture instead of wet bars. Good god RVs are built poorly.

I don't like those solder seal things at all for anything but temp repairs and definitely not in engine bays, they're low temp solder. What I mean is something like raychem duraseal. The real deal is expensive AF, you can usually get away with the knockoff poo poo from Amazon and they'll be fine. These work, they're from one of those annoying autogenerated brand names that spam up Amazon and I hate buying from them, but I'm too broke not to: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07L29DLGN Only complaint: the heatshrink is a bit hard and stiff. Not a big deal, it works, I used these on most of my J10 builds EFI harness where they fit, including shortening most of the main engine to ECU wiring bundle. These also work, though I'm a bit displeased with how thin and soft the copper is on the terminals, I'm not sure I'd recommend them for a car engine bay. I have used them on some non critical stuff like aux lighting and dummy light wiring as well as fixed building wiring on a house with success though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B087QTK1Y2 You can get raychem duraseal legit stuff on digikey, mouser, and even at the parts store in small blister packs that will cost you a kidney or your soul per unit. I only buy there when I'm truly hosed and need it right goddamn now.

AirRaid posted:https://i.imgur.com/wudaCWI.mp4 That made a noise. Guess those cables on the wall are going to need to be replaced, too. Bit burn-y. As a former installer, not only am I offended, I am horrified. How can people stand poo poo like this? Just wires and junk everywhere? I'm totally with the cameraman on this one. Just a continuous string of "no". kastein posted:funny story, there's actually no screws at all. It's ball bearing and spring retained just like sockets on ratchet extensions. I love em, I can change dies in literally less time than it takes me to find the correct dies in the case. Which matters when I'm building a harness that uses an assortment of connectors and I need to use 3 or 4 sets of dies on it. Oh, nice!

Liiiiitle too tight on the inside of that curve. Geeze, what was that - four rolls? fake edit: read the description for the video. Brakes failed, and he tried to hook the ditch, InitialD-style. Real edit: thank God for quality safety gear and construction.

Delta flight to Charlotte had its nose landing gear decide it didn't like the pilot's attitude, and said no when they asked it to deploy. More of a boring mechanical failure thanks to the pilots - if you check youtube you'll find plenty of video from inside the plane as it landed, aside from hearing the nose scraping it looked like any other landing. No injuries. https://www.cnn.com/travel/delta-plane-lands-without-nose-gear/index.html randomidiot fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jun 30, 2023 |

For a long time I ran a model M keyboard with a string of adapters from AT -> PS/2 -> USB. Anything is possible especially if you have enough of each adapter to swap and try to find a working end-to-end solution.
