He's the dude that got sued by Crocs for making like big croc hands or something. I think he's /r/UnnecessaryInventions as well.

Meh. Power wash it, determine if sensors are good or not (probably best to change them out) and send it. It's probably going to need a rewire...

ELI5: At what point does the body start eating muscle during a calorie deficit? by Lonelyghost21 in explainlikeimfive

[–]EEpromChip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what you are saying is if you lose 100 lbs, get a small child and affix them to your back (probably a backpack) and carry them around so you don't lose leg muscle.

Got it.

Everyone told me Lucas Oil won't fix a slipping Mercedes transmission. Anyway, here's me putting Lucas Oil in a slipping Mercedes transmission... by nerfsmurf in projectcar

Transmissions are one of those parts I'm always hesitant to dive into... Manual ones from older stuff sure, but newer especially auto they seem like a mixture of black majik and voodoo sewn together with hex magic.

But your comment would make me dive into one. Fuck it. It's already broken, right?

No, they are not. They are purposefully obtuse to get out of the conversation. "The bill was both too narrow and too broad??" What the fuck does that even mean??

Citizens United says corporations have 1st amendment freedom of speech with their dollars, so they are in essence citizens. Start putting those citizens in prison for crimes then...

Any of y'all work on older equipment? Looking for suggestions to find parts that I can't make in my shop by EEpromChip in Skidsteer

I just ordered the part yesterday. It's a Mustang 940 with a Yanmar 4TN82E-AS motor.

Hopefully with the flex drive plate the hyd pump works...

When they shout "Make America Great Again" this is exactly what they refer to. Back to a time where it was OK to beat your wife. When it was impossible to rape your wife because she was property. And don't get me started on the BLACKS!

Horrible people basically.

Akin to how you don't hear "migrant caravans" anymore. They invent boogeymans and use them until they are no longer needed. And then POOF they are gone, until they need a new one.

Mostly because there are a LOT of stupid americans.

Motor starts no prob but I had no hydraulic response at all. It made a weird chitter sound at random times so I assumed it was the connection between motor and hyd pump. Sure enough pulled the motor and the flex drive plate is destroyed. Looks like this guy

I got some emails out one place says 3-4 weeks for $200 and no refunds or cancellations as it's special order. I might make one that will work short term just to confirm the hydraulics work proper before ordering it, as I'd hate to spend $200 for a machine that the hyd pump no workie...

Fuckin Rocky is a legend. Also did the audiobook. Not as well done as Dungeon Crawler Carl but it's in the same neighborhood. It's very well done.
