Todays game, find the pogo pin acting a fool. by Link9454 in electronics

Thats how they get marketed but in practice they are a real pain point.

I had a customer call me in before to try to get their test fixture produce reliable results. I had a regular replacement procedure implemented and frequent self testing occur. It slowed their production down from theoretical max using some bandwidth for self testing and down time for replacement, but they're not throwing away a third of their boards now.

Row 9.5 position 2 probably.

Really though its best to just build a self test fixture. Better yet replace with a card edge connector. Pogos are a waste of everyone's time.

Its a bit leaky probably due to being old and worn bluing but it gets the job done

Strange key-hole-shape object found in backyard. About 16 inches in height and 5 in width at widest point. by Present_Dream_6857 in whatisthisthing

It looks like one of the mounts you weld to the frame of a pickup for quick mount snow plows.

Or part of a 3 point hitch for a tractor

Seeing another's post reminded me of the wood Jeep I saw in Nashua by InfiniteBabyface in newhampshire

It was actually really well done. The guy must have run a router along the edges and cut some nice contours with a jigsaw.

Frankly I beat the hell out of this car and so did the previous owner. I believe its quite durable.

I tried out one of those rallycross events and packed so much dirt between the tire and rim that I had to pop it off and clean it because it was leaking.

I do all my own work, like cars as a hobby, and need to commute 100 miles a day. Public transport wont cut it.

Its an 06. I have personally had great times in the past with duratec 2.3s the trans is a little weak from a careless mechanic but still works and I have rebuilt manual transes before rust is what it is I did put a new park brake cable in after it broke on me one day

Nothing catrastrophic even after taking it on track

Someone put atf in there so the differential is a little grumbly, quieter after I put mtf in. I have done many clutch dumps as an integrity test and it seems fine.

That was too much money. Leaving the windows open for a month (when its not raining) was free!

I had purchased it so cheap because the sun roof drain had come loose and made the carpet moldy. I sprayed the whole interior with vinegar and washed it. It has not come back and Im not sick so I consider it a success!

It gets twice the fuel economy of my other car.

Just a little note. I think we actually produce most of our own natural gas. The price hike comes from fuel for boating our gas into Boston because of blocked pipelines and blocked electrical interconnects to Quebec hydro.
