On the Subaru turbos they have an upper coolant reservoir to feed the turbo with (both after shutdown and during normal function). There are some aftermarket ones that are less dominant of the engine bay but it's only really a problem if you start installing a rotated-mount turbocharger or something else that requires a bizarre intake path.

It makes filling coolant on a turbo a little complicated, since the upper reservoir becomes the highest point in the system, not the radiator. It also requires a pressurized rad cap which leads to people thinking their head gaskets have gone bad when in fact their ancient rad cap is bypassing off the top reservoir.

And on the left you have radical requirements of the right to completely change their behaviors immediately to the left's views, with calls to fascism and racism if they don't fall in line. I personally mostly agree with the left's rhetoric but their delivery is divisive.

e: I should definitely point out that I was doing it too before this election, but a significant portion of the population thinks differently than I do and I know they aren't all racist bigoted morons so I have since been making a genuine effort to understand.

But at the same time, a lot of people take "one side of things is blatantly racist" to mean "anyone who disagrees with me on any minor doctrinal issue is the same as the other side, and therefore blatantly a bigoted fascist". That's hosed up.

Congratulations for reading someone else's post I guess? I'm not exactly a Trump supporter.

I'm talking more about the 'Jill Stein 2020' types and the Chapo fans from the perspective of a merely center-left Democrat. It's really worrying, especially as someone who is basically not given any options in the current atmosphere, to be in a place where both parties are in the grips of their own extremist movements.

Yes. But that doesn't mean he follows that long haired homeless Palestinian that gave away free healthcare. Far, far from it.

Adiabatic posted:

Do you really think 100% of the people who voted for Trump are part of the Southern Strategy and are racists? You're doing the exact thing I said the left was doing.

Don't villify the other side carte-blanche.

I'm going out on a limb (ok, it's a really thick limb and pretty short) and going to say that a LOT of people that voted for Trump, were not voting for Trump nearly as much as they were holding their noses and voting against Hillary.

Seriously, if the Dems had chosen almost anyone else I think it would have been a landslide win for them, but nope... they had to have their chosen one because they loving *knew* that they couldn't lose... and they were wrong.

A lot of those same people probably wish (even if they won't admit it, although a lot of them are) that they had not voted the way they did.

The worst, the absolute worst, that we could have gotten out of Clinton was 4 more years of the same thing we had for the last 8.

Now we live in low-key terror because our President loses his poo poo over day to day office politics, if an actual international crisis occurs there is no way to tell what he will do, other then that it will probably be impulsive and terrible.

Joe Pesci. Yea that Joe Pesci is going to be reading Mooch's interview on Lawerence O'Donnell.

So you may want to tune into MSNBC.

The Locator posted:

I wasn't arguing that. I am simply saying that it's the way a lot of people voted. They had their hatred for Hillary established, and their vote was determined long before Trump won the Republican primary.

Is that stupid? Hell yes, but it's still true that a not insignificant number of people voted against Hillary and had blinders on to the fact that the other guy might actually be worse.

On another subject both my wife and I want to take a vacation but cant decide between Hawaii and Costa Rica. Normally I would be all about Costa Rica but the risk of zika has my wife really worried. Whats the real risk of contracting it? And whats fun to do/where to go in either place? I want to do beach stuff and get a sailfish or tuna charter. My wife likes nature stuff. I think we can reasonably afford $5-6k for the week, airfare excluded from the total.

Is there a thread somewhere else for this?

The day the Democrats stop the everyone is a racist deplorable if they do not support us is the day they may get support. Most want access to healthcare. Hell, if you don't frame it as Obamacare they support what we have.

Problem is they pass a Swiss cheese bullshit bill and now that it is starting to fail, and it is slowly but surely, Dems rather than bringing ideas to the table are just obstructing. Hell, even the ideas do not get traction now, the next election is coming.

Look it easy to say that UHC, climate change, immigration and LGBT rights need to be acted upon but if the call to actions is that if you do not do what I say you are a fascist, denier, racist or homophobe people are rightfully going to be offended.

By the way, I believe that we do need to have UHC, be more inclusive and work on climate change but no way in hell I would of ever voted for Hillary.

Rally, 1, 2, or 4 if you want simulation physics. 3 and Showdown are arcade physics.

For arcade racing games; I second Kozmos Flatout 2 rec, it's a blast especially in multiplayer. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (the... third? remake - 2010 version) is fun if you want the street racing arcade type of game. Shift 2 is alright for closed circuit arcade racing, the storyline is garbage but you don't play racing games for the story anyway. Burnout Paradise is still a great arcade racing game.

Dirt Rally is probably the best modern rally sim to pick up, Dirt 4 is newer but doesn't seem to be as well received. I think the gold standard for realistic simulation racers is still iRacing, there's a thread in games with more detail about the ideal controllers to use for that game. Be warned it operates on a subscription model, so be prepared to cough up your wallet if you get into it. Both of these games would benefit from a decent (ie $500) wheel, especially iRacing where you can be pitted against professionals who use it for training. On the cheaper end I picked up Xpand Rally Xtreme a while back when it was recommended and it's been a really solid rally sim as well. It probably plays much better with a wheel than a controller but it's a fairly old game so the peripheral support is pretty poor.

Talk to your supervisor, you'd be surprised at how flexible they are. I finished my bachelors while working ramping up to 24 units the final 2 semesters. Working 40 hours a week, hybrid program (online/face to face), and owning a side business. The last semester my wife was gone to Costa Rica getting hours in for her field and we had 2 kids.

keykey posted:

Working 40 hours a week is just exactly that, There are 168 hours in a week, you just need to work 40 of those for full time employment, you're left with 128. You need to sleep, I do 8 hours a night, that takes you down to 72 hours for school/commuting/family per week. Nobody said that it's fun, but it's definitely doable. Think of it as a numbers game.

God drat code composer studio is such a buggy piece of poo poo, my laptop with i7 and SSD is taking like 5 minutes to verify an update it just installed.

I hope whatever interface one used for arduinos is more streamlined.

Enourmo posted:

I'm not using an arduino for this project, I'm using the TI launchpad the class requires us to use, hence why I'm using the Ti software package. i could probably have used whatever IDE, but that's what the class instructions said to use so that's what I'm sticking with.

I do own an arduino uno (rev1 or whatever you would call it), so I'll keep that in mind for that.

That said.. I think I got this fucker doing what I want, finally.

Sinestro posted:

Don't use the Arduino software for anything. It's slow, terrible, ill-designed, and generally useless for anyone who has any knowledge or even interest in either hardware or software, beyond the people who just want to blink an LED so they can say that they did a computer.
