mobby_6kl posted:We had a Pioneer stereo that had similar design vibes, but it used CDs and would be about 20 years old now That's what got me thinking about it. I got my first car in '08 and put aftermarket decks in all my cars, I always thought the 90's "ultra rad" design aesthetic was a product of the time and manufacturers catering to the market of second hand cars but clearly that trend predates my experience lol. My memory is a bit hazy but I think even back in '08 cassette decks weren't a very common option if at all.

Will go well in my car from 1990. I would've have preferred a Pioneer KEH-9000 RDS or Alpine 7279, they have a bit more restrained look, but this one was cheap and it works so I jumped on it. I wanna get rid of the modern pioneer player in my car, it stands out like a sore thumb, and red display in a car with greenish lighting to the dash and controls.

The oven that came with the house decided to stop heating above 280, so that gives me a really good excuse to upgrade: But then, much to my frustration, the garbage disposal (that also came with the house) developed a stupid leak, so I get to swap this thing in now

I have a standalone induction hob and I really like it, especially in the summer because it doesn't throw off as much heat. It does have its drawbacks. Cast iron works but I can't use it above 3 or 4 for long because the heat stays closer to the element and makes it overheat and stop. Thinner pans can use more of the power range.

Some lady living near me was wholesaling her all clad apparently because she got an induction cooktop. That’s how I got a $500 stockpot for $50. Although apparently D5 works on induction just fine, so…

TotalLossBrain posted:Weird, my GE induction range handles cast iron fine. It has other problems, though A standalone unit is going to have less room internally for cooling, in addition to having to work off a normal outlet versus a beefier installed range setup. That probably accounts for the difference here.

I honestly offered to fix it but my wife prefers the path of least resistance, and since we are expecting a baby in the next 5 weeks, I'd rather just get them to haul the old one away. I don't have anywhere to stash a range while I fix it up.

withak posted:So I guess now I'm one of those assholes in a goofy hat. That's not a goofy hat. A goofy hat is waaay taller, has a crown that looks like the end of a cartoon bone, a brim that's completely upturned, and a wide black band. Normally it's blue but in the US it may be green for some satanic reason, so I guess the colour is fine.

Paid the final installment of half a cow's worth of meat. My friend's father-in-law raises 2-3 every year and I try to get on the list for a half cow's worth of meat... I don't always get it (they have more than a few family friends who want in, so it's typically a lottery) but lucked out this year. I should end up with maybe 300 pounds of meat, mix of good steak cuts, roasts, and a LOT of ground beef (the "butcher" is primarily a game butcher so he's not as versed in cow anatomy and makes some miscuts and such so lots of off cuts into the grinder.) Total cost is only about $800, though, so the price can't be beat. Edit: removed a pic because I know some people might not want to see a living cow that's destined to not be soon.

Since my last post... 80s or 90s Palmer PH8TTG semi hollow, made in Korea by Samick, sold under Samick and Epiphone brands as well. Bought for about 1/3 of what the other versions sell for.  Squier Bullet Tele from the pawnshop that needed strings and an output jack, but otherwise like new. All fixed, under $100 spent.   1979 Hondo Professional H-1120, made in Japan by Tokai, and basically a rebadged version of the Tokai Hard Puncher just much cheaper. Upgraded bridge and pickups, but has a few issues to fix.

namlosh posted:I’d like some more info on this… how do you like it? I’m assuming you’ll be living in it while replacing the transmission? It's great! I've been lucky enough to get out with it the past few weekends. I don't have as many photos as I should, but here's a few for reference:   The awning and side tent are pretty easy to set up and creates a nice outdoor living room:  Interior is just a bed on wheels, but the storage is quite handy and it works great with a small pico projector and screen (unfortunately no pictures yet since I still need to make a few mounting tweaks). Lighting is great, and the fan is just a godsend vs being in a tent. The 140w solar panel seems to do a pretty good job running fridge, fan, and lights with a LiFePO4 battery, and even survived a hailstorm fully intact:  Kitchen for reference:   Having a sink and powered fridge is about the greatest thing. Plus the quick setup/teardown--even with setting up the jacks and connecting the propane, it's still faster than trying to pack away an instant tent. I can roll out of bed and be hitched and ready to go in under 10-15 minutes Technically I did live in a motel 6 for about a day while trying to call around to various shops before learning that nobody touches CVTs. But it worked out, and I was able to arrange a multi-state tow back home along with a uhaul pickup rental. I wound up just having the local dealer put in a reman transmission (which was only about a third of the price of a brand new vehicle, but damned if I didn't, damned if I do). Afterwards I did some more digging and realized I probably coulda fixed the actual problem fairly easily myself for a fraction of that, but poo poo happens and it all worked out all right. I'm just geeked to be getting back outside again!
