The wicks crust up badly and stop working though. Mine are soaking in vinegar right now.

These also produce lots of "dust" which is really all the minerals in the water.

This group does 2 fairly well advertised per year but the trophy seekers avoid them so its still pretty chill

there is a local group that does public meets but no awards. Show up if you want, they take donations to some charity, and leave when you want. No drama, no BS, and its not just the usual suspect vehicles that show up. Basically all the other ones are crap tho.

Probably proving its not just decoration like many are. Also the capacitors in these are universally terrible and can fail causing the magic smoke to escape. Most old radios need them changed, and often nothing else to make them work again

Yep, a product of Galvin Manufacturing

The correct path is to just endlessly accumulate vehicles that you will get to "soon"

If someone makes prosthetics for a living, does that make them an arms dealer?

I once mentioned this sounded like it was recorded in a basement with a cheap tape recorder. Guy got mad and told me where and how and who did it. I think he got madder when i said it takes talent to make good studio takes sound like a cheap tape in a basement .

thats the sort of thing I was aiming for, but I want real milsurp, and this isn't it.

subjectively the new one is cleaner and has more bass but the mids and highs are kind of flat. I have it set in mono to give a more honest comparison but I prefer the mono in this mode.

Lets try a twofer, an old mono copy of Revolver vs a modern remaster

Different kind of fear i think, theirs is the "be afraid of the other" which gets turned into anger at the other, even when there is no solid reasoning for it.

Brainwashing to be constantly afraid. Scared people are easily controlled.

The people most obsessed with masculinity are the last people anyone should use as a reference on what masculinity is.

Shame the light was failing, Fort Mott was a pretty good vantage point

Sure they break less, but "x never breaks" is unrealistic. Also some air suspension is just horrible trash. Luckily mine is simple enough that most issues are just O rings
comment in response to

Whenever i have some minor issue with my air suspension cars, some wit always tells me coil springs never break. I've personally replaced several broken ones and i don't even work on cars for a living.

I was at the AACA museum prob 8 years ago and it was just chilling out front.

I have discovered who that was for. My mom (70) mentioned it and said how cool it was. So it was performative nonsense meant to appeal to boomers, which is also to be expected.

shame we don't get enough snow and use so much salt here. Would be fun to see if my Continental would actually do this, but I suspect it would just be a lot of coal rolling and not much else.

I'd actually watch that.

258 or is that a 4.0 swap?

Isn't it fun that all of this nonsense claims to be "protecting" something that wasn't in danger while putting people who do actually need protection in danger? Gotta love lying with framing.

I recently spent a lot of effort but not a lot of money to fix an old faucet. Got far more enjoyment out of the less than $30 i put out than i ever would have if I spent the $200 a replacement costs.

its 100 years of assorted bad work tapping into various things and i just don't have the resources to rip it out and start over. Seems like everything i open is a WTF moment.

Hm, i wonder if that random splice thats just chilling is where the circuits meet. Don't have time for that today.
comment in response to

And of course that is fed out of this box, on the circuit that seems to run everything and has a splice somewhere bridging two fuses together

Well that explains why the light was randomly flickering whenever i bumped the cable. Wire is barely connected.
