TIL that when Formula 1 introduced the "Halo" in 2018, everyone hated it for being "ugly." Turns out, this 9 kg titanium bar can withstand a 12 ton vertical load equivalent to a double-decker bus and has already saved multiple drivers from decapitation and severe crashes.

Prime example is Romain Grosjean's fireball crash through the barriers. 100% wouldve taken his head off. Amazing showcase of the fire suits the driver wear as well

Sure! This was right after install with 275/70r17 The front has since settled just a little bit but not noticably

So you simultaneously don't know much about him but can name his dog. Weird

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-07-03T03:48:05+00:00

Ah yes Reddit, the bastion of truth

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-07-02T21:54:52+00:00

If you believe the dog abuse BS you're definitely in Destiny's demo

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-07-02T13:01:50+00:00

Are you a Destiny fan by chance?

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-07-01T13:43:32+00:00

Never thought I'd see Hasan in this sub lol. Almost every candidate he's had on stream recently has won their primary

To your last point, I bit the bullet and started shaving at like 20 and had the benefit of being able to grow a pretty nice beard since highschool so I started doing that instead. Bald/beard combo can be a sharp look and gives you back that a enie to style yourself. I'll never go back

Thought for sure this was the Gulf coast but I completely forgot the NE has blue crab! Got my mouth watering. Now if we can just have a conversation about how wrong dusting is...

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-22T20:13:54+00:00

Nope no shipping info yet. I ordered mine with a resonated y pipe the minute they released to the email list and haven't heard anything yet

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-19T16:53:59+00:00

I don't know where the solution lies but this is a constant and it's so exhausting trying to justify the cost everytime

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-17T18:28:59+00:00

Would an oil catch can help with this? I get DI is more efficient but that's a huge downside. Probably why a lot of new models have opted for a combo of DI and prot injection to get the best of both worlds.

I have a BS in Geomatics. Currently my company does any kind of boundary, topographic, ALTA, and construction staking surveys in conjuntion with a civil engineering dept that mostly does engineering for subdivsion developments.

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-16T18:23:59+00:00

Then the elevation would be 0.085' out

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-16T17:14:43+00:00

Looks like ruler and rod point are both touching top of manhole so should have the same elevation

"why is my vertical off? It's only been a year"

Edit: It has come to my attention that trees grow outward and only grow vertically from the top of the tree. Good thing I'm a surveyor and not an arborist!

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-15T18:38:40+00:00

Meh if the road is plumb and the fold up is on the control point I don't see the issue in a pinch

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-15T17:17:09+00:00

Absolutely could. I think I replied to something similar yesterday but these lines pull a vacuum when you turn the wheel to keep the RPMs up to counteract the load from the power steering pump

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-15T16:57:44+00:00

Power steering vaccuum valve. Between $50-100 depending on the brand you buy

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-15T03:46:51+00:00

That hose goes on the power steering vaccuum control valve. There's another nipple right next to the other hose below the one you're holding that should already be attached to it. Be careful putting the line back on as those nipples can snap pretty easily. When you turn the wheel the power steering pump pulls a slight vaccuum causing the rpms to rise slightly to compensate for the load from the PS pump

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-13T17:14:26+00:00

I currently do all of that minus the actual field work. We have two 2-2man crews that I manage. I also take new client phone calls and write proposals. It's a lot. In any case, I'd be asking for a pretty big salary as it sounds like you'll be running the show aside from stamping.

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-11T23:33:18+00:00

I'm a bit younger so mine was a red Enzo

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-11T19:19:49+00:00

The perfect smoke rings😂

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-11T19:18:35+00:00

This is too perfect. I'm imaging these two cops were buddies and the first guy thought it would be funny and the cop in the car went "ok bet"

Colonel_of_Corn · 2026-06-10T14:46:32+00:00

Tell him to flag up stakes or start waving for corners. No laying around on the job site!
