McTinkerson posted:Tremek, glad everyone is Okay. You let us know if there's anyway we can help! I've never considered putting one out there but I probably should. My current detectors are all hard-wired in the laziest way possible. Does any sort of 'wireless bridge' exist to make a battery-only detector also set off the ones in the house?

Having owned a Brother color laser, I went back to monochrome after the rollers on the color hardened up enough that it didn't print reliably. It's far better than a color inkjet but you're basically managing four laser printers shoved into one box, and if you care about color printing, a low end color laser is only barely going to tick that box. You're still going to come out way ahead having anyone print color for you on a far better machine. I have the monochrome printer because you never know when you're going to need to print something and it's cheap enough for that purpose. I'm not sure I'll ever run out of the original toner in it.

InitialDave posted:Right, here's a challenge for you. Suspect Kastein might get this one. Seems like you might be onto it with that, and that seems to be a pretty common part. Rockauto lists the USA Gear 33146 as compatible, and lists applications for it including the YJ, TJ, and JK Wranglers, the Liberty, and the XJ Cherokee. I'm fairly certain you guys got the Liberty and Cherokee in significant numbers. Edit: https://dirtyhookerdiesel.com/i-153...1-8-socket.html has some more detail to the applications, looks like a lot of Dana 30 front axles and Dana 35 rear axles. So WJ Grand Cherokees would also work, as long as it's the 4.0 and not the 4.7. IOwnCalculus fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Jul 8, 2019 |

InitialDave posted:Aha! Yes, I think I got a 44 rear axle pinion nut, then. The D44 (at least on the WJ) is a 7/8-14, instead of a 7/8-20. If 7/8-14 works for you, the pitman arm nut from just about any 70s-on US-made vehicle with a steering box is probably a good fit.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:I've never understood the desire for huge TVs. We have a little 40" at home that is still quite nice and works fine, but it seems like it's impossible to get something that size anymore. Costco and Target both have a shitload of sets at 50" and below. I'm in no rush to replace my main TV, it's an older-ish 60" 1080p. With the thinner bezels on modern sets I could probably do a 65" in its place, but at the viewing distance my living room is set up for, the jump to 4K wouldn't do anything but increase how much bandwidth I use on the internet. Maybe I should just reorient my living room by 90 degrees. My bedroom TV is an old 32" Roku and I mostly want to replace it because it's the equivalent of a very early Roku device in terms of hardware. Screen is fine but most modern streaming apps, Plex in particular, are really sluggish on it now.

The Door Frame posted:So I should I replace my spare? It's never been exposed to the elements, but it is from 1993 How long do you want to be able to drive on it? If the answer is "any further than getting off the road", yes. Data point: the original under-bed mounted spare on my '98 Ranger, when used in 2013, lasted about 15 miles of surface streets before catastrophic failure. In hindsight I should have just used it to get to the nearest tire store but it was already closed and I wanted to try and get it home.

I think the exhaust isn't as rough as it used to be, but yeah, when you see the pit crew putting on gas masks, it's for a good reason.

Preoptopus posted:poo poo rocked but the best part was the crews and the crowd. Everyone was super friendly super nice we talked to a few of the crews about their set ups they were more than happy to explain poo poo. The fans were dope too. Hung out with some new Zealanders who were touring with the circuit. They were a great time gave us some beers and shared pics of their hot rods. The all inviting atmosphere was very unexpected and very welcomed. Drag racing seems to be far and away the most accessible motorsport.

I run Supermicro, partly because it's generally cheap as hell used, partly because it's what we use at work (and I occasionally get cast-off hardware that way). I actually need to sell my old server, if anyone in AZ wants a 4U box with a couple of Xeon L5640s in it (I really don't want to have to ship that fucker).

Somewhat Heroic posted:So here is a topic for discussion I have been wondering about. The Lexus is a 1999, and the engine is the 2UZ-FE without VVT. It calls for premium, which is all I have used in it since I bought it until last fill up. The local gas station offers "clear" gas, which is ethanol free. I'd watch it with an OBD scanner and see if there's any difference in ignition timing / knock counts between the two fuels. You're a ways above sea level, right?
