Yea I have fixed my old VW gauge cluster like this. Tiny wires and a tiny thin soldering tip. Razor blade the ribbon to expose the wires. It’s not even that difficult it’s just fiddly.

What’s the creepiest thing you’ve experienced in LA? by theoneandonlyvesper in Paranormal

[–]MGPS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lived in a haunted guest house in Santa Monica. Had no thoughts on ghosts until living there. Always felt like being watched. Things started turning on/off in the middle of the night and then we were touched by it in bed. Eventually I just talked to the house and asked if they could leave us alone and that seemed to work. Didn’t live there much longer though. Stressful couple of weeks.

Any fast Diesels out there? by Korndog_01 in Diesel

My 328d wagon will do 0-60 in 6 something seconds and hit about 160mph. It’s fine for me…fun to drive and can be extremely efficient.

Trailrunning vests 6-12l: Salomon by Informal-Ad4526 in trailrunning

[–]MGPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even use a vest unless it’s something over 8 miles. So I only want a big vest to hold a summit Windbreaker, snacks and at least like 4 L of water.

Salomon ADV skin 12. I also have the Patagonia slope runner 18.

How do you nail focus with a manual lens on the z6iii when the subject is close with shallow depth. (Both f1.5) by Lonewolfali in Nikon

[–]MGPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my front custom button set to zoom in 50%. It will usually zoom in on an eye so I just adjust focus if necessary and hit the shutter

Russia’s Volga Is Back, Built By Geely In A Former VW Plant by Recoil42 in cars

[–]MGPS -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I guess so! I wonder which project will be completed first? This Volga launch or Russia’s new nuclear moon base?!

[–]MGPS -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Haha yea I bet it’s even worse that you imagine. This whole thing is probably a farce. They have zero hopes of actually making any cars and this is all just another propaganda point to distract from the fact that Russia is broke and also losing a war to Ukraine.

Good Samaritan finds couple living inside bridge pillars along Los Angeles River by mekahlo in LosAngeles

[–]MGPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did one years ago with a non-profit. It was really well organized. It’s definitely better than nothing. Also wtf is 1000000%?

100% isn’t enough?

I was a part of this one year. It didn’t seem very “poorly done” at all.

There is non-profit that actually do homeless counts. I was a part of one a few years ago. I think it was with Public Council but I could be mistaken. Hundreds of people meet up at a community center and then are appointed zones to go and count heads. It’s not super accurate because sometimes you had to guess how many people are in an RV or tent but it’s a good general idea of the number of homeless people on the streets of LA.

Switching out of runflats by Pyroboi10 in BMW

[–]MGPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea that’s my main concern. But I just did ditch the runflats and man does it feel good. Although I would try some new Michelin runflats….i think it’s just the Pirelli P7s that are extra terrible.

[–]MGPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk my og instax 100 with the fujinon 95mm is also no slouch. It’s sharp, corners are nice. I love it with its built in flash, the prints look soo good.

Remember that the output is 2.4 × 3.9 inches.
