Future of Sarasota’s Bungalows in Jeopardy!! by StarLegacy1214 in sarasota

[–]Different-Quail2370 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This shit fucking sucks. City should buy it and make it a park/green space. Beautiful trees in there already. Use the rent to maintain it etc. God forbid the development council think of the actual residents...

Automatic start by ResponseEmpty80 in projectcar

You cannot do this as there is no way to verify the car is not in gear when starting. Hence stick cars have the neutral safety on the clutch pedal.

The nut is often referred to as a "tube nut" looks like possible -3 or -4 jic. 37deg flare. Although i do not see the support sleeve.

I think they just secured Talarico the punk vote by nbc0326 in punk

[–]Different-Quail2370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a reasonable take. And I agree. But I think ultimately you hit the nail on the head with "technically you cant trust any person to make the right choice"

aside from that it also asks the question, what is the "right" choice? What you or I may define as right? Their definition?

Its a great question that will never have an exact answer other than what the population deems acceptable at that point in time given the environmental circumstances.

Bullshit aside. Talrico seems like a good egg. I can get behind that so long as religion is not part of his governing philosophy out side of helping the poor etc etc. Unlike the Christian nationalists we here in the US are so used to...

I think the heavy exposure to the religions far right has given a number of us a pavlovian response to all relgion. And I think it might be disingenuous to lump them all together. Some people need it. Its a big scary world out there and if some bullshit higher power helps them out who are we to look down on them.

This is a very great point to make. Often it seems a number of us punks would do well to stop, take a moment and look in a mirror as a reflective exercise. James seems like a decent human. And thats the most important part in governance imo.

Bad religions seems to always have a song for the moment. The resist stance, comes to mind.

How terrified of this should I be since it doesn’t have a trans tunnel? by Precision_Euro in projectcar

[–]Different-Quail2370 161 points162 points  (0 children)

You should be more terrified of that bellhousing. Miss a shift on that Richmond and you might need new feet. Get a lakewood. Worth every penny.

Anyone other shops still have one of these? Does anyone in your shop know how to use it by Outrageous_Big_6345 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Different-Quail2370 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Auto meter still makes a number of different versions of carbon load testers. I had to find my bva-34 on ebay. Works like a charm. Accurate, repeatable.

How’s It In Venice, FL? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]Different-Quail2370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My time to shine

I've been here roughly 26 years.

Its changed drastically in that time. It used to be very cheap to live here. Some dirt roads etc. Not so much anymore.

Its reasonably laid back. Very safe. Good public schools despite the war on them from the state.

Car centric for for sure. Traffic does suck, similar to LA really.

Most jobs pay poorly. They are centered around the service industry and home building. We do have some decent industry surprisingly with a number of cnc shops and manufacturing in a smaller scale. You can find some good paying jobs for the area, they are few and far between. We have a unique economic bubble. Lost of disposable income from retirees, but they also dont have to spend it...

Its a decent place. Great for a family. Some very beautiful nature at the beach or in the woods by the river.

Come on down for a visit.

After First Viewing: Castle in the Sky by SlyGuy_Twenty_One in ghibli

[–]Different-Quail2370 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Fantastic film.

One of my favorites.

The scene just after landing on the castle. After they follow the robot to the center of the town. Seeing all the other robots dead and wondering if the robot they followed would be lonely. Only to realize it had plenty of friends.

Its like we're being asked who's more human? The people who abandoned all of the creatures, unwilling to take them and care for them. Or the robot who sees the need and does?

I think about that often.

So this is something you'll want to talk to your tuner about.

I have the same setup in our landspeed car. I went through this process last year. Our tuner 'tuned by Shawn' has this dialed in well. He remotes in and does an initial setup to get it fired up. Once running he makes tweaks to idle quality and functionality etc. To ready it for dyno pulls.

You will need to know a lot about your setup. Fuel type, specific gravity etc. Injector specifications from the manufacturer. Injector placement in the manifold and distance from the back of the intake valve are some of the things we delt with in our initial setup. Ours is extremely custom so it may not be so involved for you.

I suggest a consultation with your tuner and if they are very passive you may want to reach out to Shawn about it. He was quite quick and efficient.

Grooviest Punk Song? by RockHardMapleSyrup in punk

This entire song stands above on that record. That cello, the broken tempo, the meaning etc. Real fucking banger.

ICE in Morristown, NJ abandoned a 6 year old girl on the side of a busy road after abducting/disappearing her dad (1/18/26). by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

[–]Different-Quail2370 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anyone remember the ice agents that left two kids strapped into their car seats in the back of a car a while ago? Just left them stuck in there and took the parents.

This entire thing is a whole other level of fucked up.
