"I'll take 'how to get random results in science' for $800 Alex!"

Probably watched a Youtube video.

How do you get an unregulated spike down a line with many regulators?

Outside of a controlled lab environment, no way to do this reliably. You'd have to factor in all sorts of other things like air movement, and reliably read one square meter. I think our insulation could use improvement for summer heat, so I'll rent/buy a FLIR to scan the whole house. Then put it on the quadcopter to scan the roof.

A wall of text to defend the indefensible. SMFH. You have an actual live mechanic right here with experience across many devices and hundreds of cars, but Youtube is always right. Unfuckingreal. Jesus fucking Christ that is so fucking retarded.

That is fucking phenomenal. I had an RD350, probably 75-ish.

This really helps explain all the "I saw it on YouTube" COVID lies.

That's awesome for you. I'm really happy.

Incorrect often has the appearance of cool, AKA, Fortnine.

I wonder if he also does anti-vaxx videos, bullshit begets bullshit.

The boots might be salvageable, but remember that the carb to airbox boot was just crumbles. The more I think about half-assed fast fixes, the less I want to do this half-assed, honestly.

The ones the sell frozen feel like eating a sponge, and I also don't like the flavor. I can overcome the latter with more chiles and Sichuan pepper. I have a feeling that the shitty texture is because frozen veggies are par-boiled first. I know the shitty flavor is because of that. If anything green touches steam or hot water, it tastes terrible to me. Anyone done this? Tips? Is there danger if I don't blanch it? I kinda figure it's done commercially just for extreme liability protection, but is there a real danger to just taking a bag of broccoli and tossing it in the freezer? And is my texture hate actually from the blanching and not the freezing? Yeah, I could YouTube it or just try it, but discussions here often lead to much greater ideas.

Bah, they have to be good, DON'T TRY TO UPSELL ME. But yeah, great point. Now to decide how to go about the engine running. I think carb cleaning, gaskets, and rubber boots on both ends are the only real must haves. See though, then I think...the brakes. But now the wheels are apart, and... Remember that this started with a loose mirror.

Oh, I know how to find his 30 second button. I program times with single buttons. 11, 22, 33, 44, etc. Why move your finger when 45 is the same as 44?

Oh, I didn't really mean to ride it, just to restore it. Call me Dave. On the other hand, "just make it work" speaks to my ADHD and instant gratification. Hmmm.

Tank is shockingly clean. The chrome thing is something to investigate, its one of those things that I can't guess whether it would be $50 or $2000. I do have some familiarity with the oilers, and having to just go premix. I haven't decided on that yet, but it will get a thorough test.

For mobility as parts come off, I'm thinking about building a wood cart to hold the center stand, and a rod up to the steering area or the frame just forward of the engine. I have lots of wood and woodworking tools, as well as a bunch of quite heavy duty casters in various sizes. (Originally for tools weighing more than the bike probably.)

I hope to really get into this before summer, but not sure where to start. So that's question one. I am 50/50 on just tearing it completely apart, which will eventually happen, or choosing areas to start. Such as starting off with the tail and headlight area, which are the most accessible/easy, work on them, and then continue. I guess I kinda lean towards that. I can work with some of the smaller parts to learn processes. Chrome is fucked up by rust. I've cleaned up lots of lightly pitted metals, this is more. So again not sure where I'd start with that part. Sandblasting with light media like walnut or corn? For small parts, use the ammo tumbler which has corn cob (I think) media? Any chemicals or other things to use? Electrical is oddly 100%, turn signals work, all that. Motor has compression, clicks through gears. I don't think I want to split the cases. I do think I want to pull the top end and do rings. Do I? Just such a standard move with two-strokes. But...compression feels normal-ish, working from very old memory of these bikes. Spark plugs are fucked. What should I clean them in? Just kidding. Tires...haven't googled it yet. Brakes are probably alright, but thoughts on that appreciated. OEM battery is on the restorer now, should be fine. I kid, I kid. The seat is remarkably fine. I'm thinking about putting vinyl protectant on it and bag it for storage until I'm done. I'd really like to restore the lettering on it, but have no idea how I would. Handlebars...replace? It seems like something that should be fairly generic to find others that fit the look? Oh yeah--my goal is "believable" not perfect restoration. Period appropriate but not even necessarily only parts from this one model. Bolts...into the tumbler?

Who is also sending a (functional) tool kit strap?

Goddammit, had just clicked quote on that. But I was gonna go with the original slogan.

Our Purple UFOs have had some red/plum colored ones also. I can't find the correlation between color and flavors on those. The jalapeños are currently ultra bright red, which a few years ago, correlated with both maximum flavor and heat. I had some off-red ones last week that were super bright in flavor with great citrus. I'm pushing them now to see how far they will go. The aji limon are producing a ton, and are super tasty, and way hotter than expected. Well north of a jalapeño.

I've told people that a lot recently as my friends and neighbors have also started up gardens, and asked why one of our plants has both green and red. For some, mind blown, for others it was an argument as they could not absorb something so shocking to their entire world view. Do you want to hear about green vs red Jalapeños? Green tea and black are the same tea, one is fermented. Black and green olives......WAIT FOR IT.............same. Avocados may never ripen if they get really cold, like being refrigerated. Most of them gain the magical ability to go from hard to mushy black nastiness without the extra step of being edible. Keep them on the counter until at or near ripe, THEN refrigerate and they will stay there for a long time. Bananas and apples give off a lot of ethylene gas, which is a plant hormone that causes ripening. So you can "push ripen" most other fruit by bagging them together. But that will also push the banana/apple itself too. Melons will ripen cold, but will produce very little of the anti-oxidants and other benefits. They should be left out until they are fully ripe, then go in the fridge. Because who doesn't prefer a cold melon over warm?? Oh, this guy does not care, he's a melon fiend.

I don't know where you got your apple slicer, Small World? The biggest apples we can get still fit in ours.
