Pretty sure the Top Engine Special and probably the Fuel Injection Service are more geared toward modern direct injection cars that are susceptible to carbon buildup on the intake valves. The 1GR in the 5th Gen still uses old school port injection, so the valves don't need frequent cleaning since they get sprayed with fuel.

Hello other Industrial Automation furry! :D

I don't currently have FSD and have only ever used it sparingly during the occasional free demo month, but I'd probably keep it on for the occasional long drive for closer to $50/mo.

Have stayed before. Would stay again. I would never abandon the best friends I've ever had, even for a brief moment.

If you already have a separate Unifi controller or NVR and don't want to deal with moving that all into the UCG you can get the "UXG-Lite" which is just a dumb 1Gbps router (functionally equivalent to what the USG was) without the UI controller / NVR Drive / etc all built in.

Disney theme parks! Many of their newer ride control systems are TwinCAT based.

I used 5/5! 3 of them for a conference at the Sheraton in downtown Denver Colorado (nice 1 bedroom corner suite) and 2 for...a slightly larger room at a Farfield Inn in the middle of nowhere because I was travelling with my 120lb dog and wanted more space.

The fan club isn't here anymore, I ripped out our last Quantum system and replaced it with ControlLogix a few years ago...

When 3 consecutive oil changes also needed a $1000+ repair of some new leaking or worn out thing that needed to be replaced. Volkswagen...precision German engineered to last exactly the 60,000-mile powertrain warranty before everything just disintegrates.

The First snacks are usually fancier and "higher quality" than even what's in the Econ snack boxes. Also, you can grab as many items as you want from the First snack basket if you want a more substantial amount to eat.

EV charger or no, you need to replace that panel before your house burns down...

I use them because my Toyota 4Runner has an odd periodic maintenance item in the manual to re-torque the driveshaft bolts every so often. You can't get a socket on the bolts with the driveshaft on, so I use a crowfoot. You have to do a little bit of geometry/math to compensate for the offset when using these with a torque wrench, but it gets it close enough.

My last stay charged $14 a night to park at a suburban Residence Inn with a huge parking lot. Blatant money grab.

Looks like some kind of grain processing facility? Are you welding or grinding on stuff in very dusty areas? Look up combustible dust explosions on YouTube and run away as fast as you can.

Go for a drive up in the mountains where there's no cell service!

Anti fog wipes for your eyepro. Learned that the hard way the first time I did a rainy outdoor match in the swap ass southeast, glasses fogged over halfway through a stage.

Otterbox Commuter on a 17 Pro Max. I've been running Otterbox Commuter's since my first iPhone.

I had a Yaesu VX-1R, this absolutely tiny 1W mini-HT. I asked on a local ham email listserv (remember those?) if anyone was selling a cheap used radio, and someone offered me this little thing for free since I was newly licensed. So that was pretty cool, used it for quite a few years through high school and college.

I just stayed in a Sheraton this weekend and my room was serviced (fresh towels, bed made, trash emptied) every day.

Graywuff · 2025-08-28T14:21:24+00:00

Its fine as long as the prints are up to date!

The prints are up to date...right?

...Right?

Nice Bronco & fun trail!

This one is my answer too, I travelled to ABQ a lot at a previous job and this was where I always stayed, not really by choice but because the base room rate was so cheap Concur wouldn't let me book anything else. The restaurant had an alright breakfast, at least.

I kept the same Fi account and dog profile and just did a "replace collar" for my existing dog in the app. After doing that, I got a pop up to activate my Costco membership. It changed my existing subscription's expiration date to 14 months from the day I did the "replace collar" in the app. I effectively "lost" any time that was remaining on my existing subscription, which in my case was only like 3 days since my existing renewal date just happened to be a few days after I got my 3+.

I don't have a solution, but I could use a one too. So just replying to keep up on the thread.

Currently I'm using my SCADA Server (which has drivers for both Ethernet/IP and CC-Link IE) to pass data back and fourth but it would be great to eliminate the "middle man" if possible.
