I've been unable to find pics of the aftermath, but a friend had his moto battery explode when he jumped it from a car battery. Not like a nuke or anything, but the bike had acid everywhere and we had to pry the expanded plastic case from the bike. No human carnage at least. Do not recommend.

Held Touch Gloves: Size 8
SwampNut replied to SierraKLR's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
This is how to turn you on? I've never heard of numeric glove sizes. Down a rabbit hole I go. And great deal for great gloves. -
Finally.........the New Money Pit (a Garage for Topic Clarity)
SwampNut replied to rockmeupto125's topic in Handyman
Oh, shit, I think mine is still in the luggage from last year. Oops. -
Free, throw me $20 for shipping cost (fucker's heavy). No accessories, just bare board, and I'm not 100% certain all the original cables and screws are there. I know it works, was removed from a PC, intended to eBay it, got "lost" in the IT closet, and two years later here we are... I was really happy with the performance and specs when I was running it as a Hackintosh with an i9.

I have zero interest in guitars, and I'd be happy to spend an afternoon there with someone who can talk about them. <Looks up Tesla chargers from Phoenix to Bozeman>

I bet Joe has an engine laying around that we could test this on. I see a drinking game at NeXXt.

DJI Air2s Fly More kit with extra accessories
SwampNut replied to SwampNut's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
I missed this before. The term has become problematic due to consumers using it like "Kleenex" or "Xerox" with no meaning. Quadcopters always have four motors. Hexacopters six, etc. A single-engine fixed wing RC plane is also a drone. The definition of drone is an aircraft piloted remotely or flies autonomously. It seems like people now mean it as a quadcopter specifically. This quadcopter is a drone. It can fly under remote control or semi-autonomously. It is not capable of full autonomous flight without third party software to do so. The very cheap ones can't do any automation at all, but are still drones. -
Forum unread count/notice may be wrong after today's upgrade

I believe that was expunged during the DB cleanup. It cleaned the douchebags out. -

I also found a potential database issue, and ran a repair. I need feedback on issues from everyone. -
I had a terrible night of sleep, woke up with two neurons working, and read this while waiting for coffee. I read it as "New pool Tuesday." In my defense, you HAVE been doing things to the yard. "Shit, he dug and poured a pool while making the shop foundation? Will it be ready for NeXXt? At least he got a heater. Wait, that heater won't do shit." Anyway, cool idea.

I was retarded. Fixed. Mark it READ. -
Added point. I've had screw clamps get a kink or nick and "lock" in a certain place when re-used.

I thought it was one of those things I just don't understand about non-desert places, but I wonder the same. A vendor who I talk to a lot picked up an electric ZTM last week, and is completely in love. He got a smokin' deal as people seem to be worried about large purchases right now, he says they weren't selling a lot. He's got a couple acres to do and says the battery is enough, and no more maintenance or noise.

Yeah, it's safe, and is ready to use, no water.

Chasing down a coolant leak only requires some very basic tools to pop the fairings off, and some patience. Coolant leaks usually leave a trace even after they dry, unless you've washed the bike well. I agree about making sure it's not some hose leak, ESPECIALLY after a service since they could have left a loose clamp. As far as coolant choice, same as above, just be careful mixing types. Some cannot mix. Coolants need to be 50/50 water and coolant. Some come premixed, most don't. Check your bottle for instructions. There is an add-on product called Water Wetter that seems to help drop a couple degrees more. I have no real concern over the dark area, I've noticed that happen on some vehicles and never paid attention. I assume it's a place where road grime is concentrated.

Like a lock would help you there. Also. Racist.

DJI Air2s Fly More kit with extra accessories
SwampNut replied to SwampNut's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
Now I wonder what the perceived difference between a quad and a drone is... -
I haven't looked at pricing. Checking on interest here before putting it on eBay for top bid. As always with my stuff, it's immaculate, you'd never know it has left the box. Low flight hours, no crashes, no dirt landings, no issues. Covered by DJI Care and about seven months old. All the usual accessories like ND/PL filters, prop protectors, portable charger, etc. I bought a Mini 3 Pro and will probably stop using this one. And yes, I did just get this to replace a Mini 2. Shut up.

That's a lot. I have seen 4-5, but never that much. I wonder if there's more going on. I would expect to have a much wilder swing than you do. I'm talking nights in the 50s and then a daytime over 90 and the vehicle in the sun to where you can't touch the wheel without a burn. I've often joked about "rotating to the winter air" but it's true. When we get one of those quick swings from a hot average to a cool average, suddenly I get tire pressure warnings. The rolling average can drop 3-5 and the morning low pressure drops a solid 5.

Walking doesn't help with weight loss really. I mean, moving around is good to keep things moving, and not stagnant, but there's no real caloric benefit. In fact most exercise is irrelevant to weight loss. How many Oreos do you think you could eat to make up for a run up the Empire State Building? A little aerobic work here and there correlates with good health improvements, but not specifically weight loss. There may be psychological benefits; people who do *something* like that regularly correlate with happier people. Walking is pretty boring. If I do, it's for some reason like scouting or some excuse to give a purpose. I always walk in Vibram FiveFinger KSOs, which are meant for trekking. Otherwise, I'm just not going to be walking around the hood. I like mountain biking. That's interesting, more aerobic, and puts the whole body to work not just legs. A good solid ride can burn up a few hundred calories, but even a non-aggressive ride gives you a good all-body workout. Moriah has been doing road biking lately and can put down a shitload of power apparently, so two hours of that and she's killed 300+ calories. I don't get the road bike thing either. Yawn.
