  1. I wanted to say it was overpriced, but then I started doing the inventory. Might be worth it to someone.
  2. Zeners are kind of like voltage gates, and the four-way array means they can handle any polarity or AC.
  3. I always carried a spare filter in my diesel. Needed it once after some muddy fuel in East Texas. Middle of nowhere, truck can't go over 45. The spare bag should be a big zip loc with the filter, gloves, and paper towels. This worked great to minimize mess and provide a place to put the bad filter without making a mess.
  4. Those are zener switching diodes on the board, I assume there are two on the other side also? If so they basically built a full wave bridge that has voltage control. So they could run on AC or any DC polarity. If not, I'm not sure how they could be polarity-insensitive.
  5. For this thread, or the NWS thread?
  6. Now that sounds like a steal. Anything wrong with it? Maybe this is one of the people caught up by a scam dealer where they end up literally paying double by the time fees and interest are added. AKA, RideNow AZ.
  7. I didn't want to be the first asshole to say it, so I slept on it. Yeah, it's nearly double-priced.
  8. You could always just carry a few stingrays with you. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/stingrays-could-be-used-to-map-earths-ocean-floors Subsequent experiments will revolve around electric rays using their own electrical juice to power the sensitive ultrasonic pingers, something Tanaka's team indicates it has demonstrated in previous tests. Wearable battery packs will also be deployed for the stingrays, with the sleek creatures assigned to map irregular seabeds over extended deep-sea missions.
  9. Of course you can, what makes you think you can't?

    What is this?

    If the video weren't taken with a potato over the lens, it might be easier to see...
  11. Yeah, I can't decide. It's not like $3k will change my life. Insurance is about $100/year.
  12. Prices on motorcycles are crazy high right now, at least dirt-oriented bikes. Not sure if it's also affecting street. There's a thread on the adv forum right now bitching about high bike prices.
  13. Sarcasm. Gouging almost never applies as its used by people who simply don't like the price.
  14. Never thought about it, so not sure. I tend to bring a piece in from the front, and when doing multiple cuts, the piece is still on the saw. Well fuck, waiting for something to copy, let's go check. No but the center plate on my saw is lower than the table by a tiny bit. If yours is perfectly flat, dunno.
  15. Clearly gouging I guess?
  16. Crooks? I've got some Palladium coins in 100% mint condition for sale at way over spot right now, am I a crook?
  17. I use these on a 12" SCMS with high end, high tooth count blades. It's nice to have, and has made some difference in tear-out on some woods. Easy stuff like maple isn't improved because the better blades and larger diameter already prevent any issues. But on Wenge and other splintery things, these definitely do help. I often forget to change them, and should just set a permanent reminder.
  18. Nope. Every kind of connectivity possible including its own cell connection, but no physical media. It is 2020.
  19. Huh, now I wonder if there's even a CD player in the Gladiator? I see no slot, never thought of looking to see if there's one hidden.
  20. I suppose it says something that these are what's left after others went through and took some.
  21. I have no idea why some of those are in there, and I'd never even heard that name until you mentioned it. WTF.
  22. My user on there is calvarez, though most of the stuff closed the last few days. Mostly tech stuff, and CL for a lot of non-tech.
  23. I've just been informed that a bunch were already given away, she didn't tell me. So will update the current list and would like to package them up as bundles to 2-3 people max.
