I'll have to do that moving forward. Thanks. They do make replacement heat tent/spreader things. "Universal, meaning they don't really fit, but better than broken/missing. The one on my grilled burned up within a year. Replacement is OK-ish. I've also already replaced the burner from Amazon. Replacement burners at Lowe's/Home Despot were 2/3 the price I paid for the grill ($109 - it was the least expensive grill with an aluminum body, now discontinued, of course.) Replacement burner is better (thicker, stainless steel) but judging by the flames the holes are starting to open up on it, too. Eventually, I'll need to throw down on an actually good grill, I guess. May try making my own burners out of Schedule 40 stainless pipe or something first.

Sorry about the triple post, but my company took Monday off (instead of Good Friday) so I went to the nearly-deserted theater and saw Ready Player One and Pacific Rim 2. I knew Ready Player One was aiming to mine my nostalgia, and I was OK with that. I am absolutely square in the target demographic age group for what they were dishing out. I loved it. Story was nothing world shaking, but it was gorgeous, and I had a ball noting all the references. Still missed a pile, like where the outfit Parcival was wearing in the nightclub scene came from, though I think that was mainly because I had to go pee when they apparently did the costume change scene. I was gratified to note not only the Delorean, Akira's bike, and Bigfoot in the initial race, but also the '66 Batmobile, and the Mad Max Interceptor. I missed that there was also Christine, the A-Team van, and a variation on the Mach 5 in there as well. Also, the Delorean has a KITT scanner on the front. SO MANY movie and video game characters, weapons, and vehicles in the climactic battle. Others just wandering around in the lobby areas of the world. I won't lie - I want to live in Oasis. They are absolutely correct in how it will go down if such a thing ever actually exists. The hosed up thing is that, logically, he should have hit the big red button and shut it all down, to force people to address problems in the real world. I will, in all likelihood, buy a Blu-Ray of this. Pacific Rim 2 was a solid sequel. Again, fairly standard story. Absolutely beautiful. Some nice twists on the bad guys, and, of course, giant robots fighting. No real complaints. I got exactly what I expected out of both - action, adventure, eye candy hung on a fairly simple/conventional story. Definitely worth the matinee price. Still need to see Black Panther, and I think I'll actually see Wrinkle In Time on matinee as well. InitialDave posted:Huh. Tried to leave work, Zoe is stone dead. Won't even light the dash up.

I mean, how could you make a Giant Robot Movie without doing so, even inadvertently?  quote:Yeah, it's annoying. Though I'm not sure having a key switch would do anything in this instance. My suspicion is the 12v battery has died. OK, but what about in the case of the car being fine, but your fob being poo? Metal Geir Skogul posted:I watched a video a few years ago by the Applied Science, he talked about this adhesives and polypropylene Oo, thanks for that. Also, zip tie guns are v. handy. I have a cheap one that works fine. No tension adjustment, though. edit: actually, the application instructions for Devcon specifically state that "does not bond to Polyethylene or Polypropylene Plastics." He says the 3M Scotchweld 8005 is for polyethylene, though. One of the comments says "you can buy a super glue activator/etch product that enables normal cyanoacrylate to bond to polyolefins like polyethylene and polypropylene, much more cost effective." ilkhan posted:I saw RP1 on Saturday and also quite liked it. I know a lot of the references I missed, being a smidge too young for it, but loved the ones I did get. Oh, I know, but a YT vid made the case he really should have done it the other way, and logically, was not wrong. quote:Also I like how they changed the challenges from the books. The new ones made sense and saved a lot of tedium time wasting that existed in the books that would not have translated well. Haven't read the book. It's on my list. IOwnCalculus posted:Black Panther loving owns. Wrinkle In Time... ehhhh. It's not bad but it's also not all that good either. So I hear. My brother in law is a WIT fanatic, and really wouldn't be happy if the script wasn't exactly like the book, but he... didn't hate it.

At a certain point, for example, I'm going to have to decide if I will ever build the unbuilt model kits I have, or if I should just sell them. The good news is that a lot of them are OOP and/or vintage now, and therefore worth at least what I paid for them adjusted, if not more (a lot more, in some cases, it looks like.)

Somebody did an awful job welding, and apparently just shrugged and left it there when it fell off. From the grinding marks on the pipe, it had been dragging for some time). Sunday. I pulled the engine out of my '79 RX-7 to sell to a friend, along with another broke 12A I have. He's trying to cobble up enough 12A bits to make one good engine. This after mowing the lawn and edging, and pulling said RX-7 out of the side yard with the AE86. I hurt. Not a lot, but enough, and we didn't get finished pulling the engine until after midnight, when I have to get up at 6:30 for work. So, I hurt and I'm tired. And old. I'm old. (ouch)

Don't think I've mentioned it here yet, but the 20+ year old JL Audio 10" sub I put in the Crown Vic now has a rattle at low volumes (and probably at high volumes, too - you just can't hear it then). Foam surround looks OK, so I bet the suspension at the bottom of the cone took a dump. I'm hoping it just came unglued and I can fix it. If not,  I bought the thing used from a customer when I worked at a stereo shop in the late '90s, and it lived, unused, in my garage pretty much from then until I put it in the Vic, because I didn't have anything with a trunk, and it needs a 1.5 cu. ft. box. I am completely amazed that the foam didn't disintegrate immediately on firing it up.Ah, well. I want to step up to 2 10s or 12s anyway.

The Door Frame posted:I love tow capacity conspiracy theories, I even kind of believe them when looking at the numbers. The 1.5L Toyota Yaris with its weak rear end engine is rated for 1500lbs in the UK, but isn't rated for any weight at all in the US. Most tiny econoboxes are rated for about 1000-1500lbs in the UK, but even small trucks and SUV's are barely rated for 2000lbs in the US I think the prevailing theory on that is partially due to the prevalence of high speed highways in the US versus the UK, and possibly the litigious environment in the US. As far as small pickup availability, a young friend of mine was talking about this. His '80s B2000 got wiped out by an inattentive driver, so he was looking at getting a replacement. His dad was being a dick about him buying a used car, so he was looking for a new Toyota Tacoma 4 cylinder single cab 4x4. He was having difficulty finding anything. They all seemed to V6 4-doors, with prices approaching a full-sized Tundra, enough so that you would be stupid to not just step up to a Tundra. A coworker had the same issue with Chevy's Colorado. Sort of a chicken and egg problem. Dealers don't order base model 4-bangers because people don't buy them, but they can't buy them because no one has them. Cheap gas doesn't help. I definitely don't want to pay $35K for a "small" pickup, not even getting into the fact that the Tacoma and Colorado aren't really that much smaller than their full-sized equivalent.

My Dad was down a year or so ago and used the Courier for running around while he was in town. The second he heard I was thinking about selling it he asked how much then wrote a check for it. That stupid little thing is a beast. I have a class 3 on my Crown Vic. It's V8 and perimeter frame. As long as I don't overload the rear springs, it'll be fine. Not going to be towing a 17' car trailer with a car on it or anything. Funnily enough, my 2.5L Jeep Cherokee was rated for higher loads, despite being unibody and 2.5L, thanks to leaf springs. That thing once towed a HF 4x8 trailer full of 3 layers of pavers. It towed it just fine. Stopping was... well, it required pre-planning, because that little poo poo just flat out didn't weigh enough, and the trailer would shove the thing across an intersection with the brakes locked.

Maybe I wrapped it on counter clockwise? Again, no idea if that would really matter. It does matter which way you wind Teflon tape - you wind it the same direction your screw the fitting on, so it doesn't unwind as you screw on said fitting. Pipe dope is basically liquid Teflon tape, or a substitute therefore.

Theres some seriously interesting PO fuckery with wiring done to it that I need to check out with time. You forgot the most important part.    ...is it a V8? Adiabatic posted:How's everyone doing this fine Tuesday morning? Everybody get their taxes done? Not bad. Taxes were done a month ago, and the $3K we got back went into savings. Going to need a roof in a few years now. Job would be better if the company I'm at would get off the pot and actually *hire* me. They don't know it yet, but "permanent contractor" is not a role I'm going to fill for long. My contracting company's medical is too expensive, and no holiday, sick, or vacation pay blows goats, especially when the host company takes 12 holidays a year. That's about $2500 a year just gone.

Gingerbread House Music posted:305, so.....technically? Ah, right. Forgot he'd said it was an L03 earlier. Plus I wanted to post V8 hand signs. Real question, because I know you guys know everything, or at least someone knows something: How do I edit my thread's title, or is that just something only mods can do? I'm not seeing anything obvious, and the internet is being surprisingly unhelpful in SA-related things.

spog posted:Mods only. OK. I thought maybe the thread owner might be able to change it, NBD, Adiabatic posted:Hit me up babygirl. You got it, daddy. Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Well that explains why the old motor was seized, it was doubling as the evaporator drain. Could be worse, but I need to find a right hand drill (Darchangel, you got one I might be able to use in your driveway sometime in the next few days? Should take less than an hour). Nope, but I got a right-angle attachment for a standard drill. Awkward as hell to use, but i should work in this application. Also have a Dremel. Rhyno posted:Always be nice and polite to people who are being drunken assholes in the bar you work at 10 years in the past. Because you never know when the dude who slapped a waitress and has to be tazed out on the sidewalk will end up being the head of the service department where you think you're going to start working and vetoes your hiring with a smile on his face. ...seriously? They're going to let a personal vendetta from this guy be the deciding factor? I mean, I guess it would be awkward, but, man, that's unprofessional.

Devyl posted:Had another heading tech get fired/quit last night. Guy worked on 3rd shift; so now that leaves only 5 of us to run all the M-5 & M-6 lines on two shifts. We were already running 5 10s; so now it's looking like we'll be doing 5 12s to make up for him. Overtime pay at least, I hope? Also, what is a "heading tech"?

Maker Of Shoes posted:bought me one of them new fangled fitbit versa's. I quite like it. Android or iPhone ecosystem? I've got an iPhone, but considering the Versa against the Apple Watch Series 1. I actually like the Garmins, but the ones that actually look like watches start at about $300.

Maker Of Shoes posted:See, the thing is that it shouldn't be more. in practice no one normal wants to do all that poo poo on a postage stamp sized thing on their wrist when they have a thousand dollar smart phone with a much bigger screen in their pocket. its just like tesla jamming everything into that stupid ipad thing. It's neat until you try to actually use it in real life. Yes, this, exactly. There's only so much you can do on a watch.
