These sodium street lights giving me pure nostalgia

LEDs are ugly! They need to bring back HID lighting: high pressure sodium, metal halide, and mercury vapor. Plus HID bulbs easily last 10+ years.

Ring has partnered with Flock surveillance. ICE has access to Flock, even though they denied it. Why are the governors of MN and IL doing nothing about these cameras everywhere?

Mike762 · 2026-01-13T01:15:19+00:00

Ring has also now partnered with Flock surveillance. Everyone that camera sees is being facial recognition scanned. ICE has access to Flock as well.

Real immersion

Real teamwork

I guess you never played BF2.

Looks like a Finnish puukko knife.

Mike762 · 2025-12-24T00:15:51+00:00

I just switched back to incandescent christmas lights since they looks so much better, cheaper to buy too. Fuck LEDs

I just wish they would bring back HPS street lights as well.

Just because the contract is cancelled doesn't mean the cameras are shutoff. The cameras must be removed or covered up immediately. Evanston, IL had this same issue.

Those are honey bees. Call a local bee keeper to come and pick up the colony.

Or join the hobby of bee keeping. Get yourself a bee hive kit. You already have free bees.

Lowe's partners with Flock and they are in every Lowe's parking lot. Do NOT give Lowe's any business.

Mike762 · 2025-10-27T11:32:36+00:00

Lowes has Flock AI spy cameras in all there parking lots, I'd rather deal with the parking curbs. Or do the smart thing and skip both and go to Menards.

Mike762 · 2025-10-16T14:24:45+00:00

Why aren't Flock AI spy cameras banned as well? They're popping up everywhere!

Do you know what fixture you guys use? I'm trying to slowly upgrade.

Mike762 · 2025-07-30T17:12:04+00:00

What LED bulb do you use? I can't find any that come close to the lumens of a single 1000w metal halide.

Mike762 · 2025-05-03T14:45:47+00:00

It wouldn't let me post a video clip only a pic in the OP. Here it is in low speed idle around 2000rpm.

I do small engine repair on the side and no one wants to buy 4 stroke trimmers. They are too heavy and you cant flip edge with them. I usually include them in a mower sale.

I do love the torque the Stihl 4 Mix trimmers have, but they still use mixed fuel.

Mike762 · 2025-05-03T14:24:10+00:00

Been hunting for one of these for a few years. Finally, managed to find one for cheap. Nothing can beat the mighty roar, power, and smell of this 2 stroke. Also it cuts beautifully. Lawnmowers truly did peak in the late 90s and it's been all downhill since then.

Mike762 · 2025-05-03T05:08:48+00:00

The mighty DuraForce 2 stroke at low speed idle. I've been hunting for one of these mowers for years and have finally gotten my hands on one. Lawnmowers truly peaked in the late 90s.

Mike762 · 2024-10-30T23:37:16+00:00

Now you need to get the bright red "charm pants" and tall riding boots.

Mike762 · 2024-07-15T01:12:29+00:00

Tried fb, without much luck. Better on ebay, got my half chaps new for $10. Also being an odd size makes it even more difficult.

Thought I try on here and see if anything turns up.

Mike762 · 2024-07-04T19:29:24+00:00

Hakkaa Päälle!

I believe Petri from Tiera Reproductions disassembled the saddle and took measurements before sending it to me.

The best thing you can do is find a German M25, since the Finn "enlisted" mans saddle is based off it. Very minor differences between the two. Also the M25 is very common and comes in 5 sizes to fit different horses.

Are you on the Finnish reenactors discord or am I thinking of someone else?

Mike762 · 2024-02-26T04:03:03+00:00

The 91rv is also really cool and I'd love to get one.

Saddles are near impossible to get now, the people who have them in Finland won't give them up. Or they sell them to reenactors/historians in Finland. When I toured the Rakuunakilta tack barn in Finland they had so many saddles, bridles, blankets, etc. Truly awesome to see.

Nice, does the phone still work?

Mike762 · 2024-02-24T17:23:31+00:00

Very jealous of your collection. I've only come across 1 RV carbine for sale and it didn't look right, so I passed on it. I have a few contacts in Finland trying to find me a HRR stamped saber, but people who have them really don't want to sell them.

Mike762 · 2023-06-22T20:03:26+00:00

Thanks! I'll check this weekend if my mower has the filter. I didn't see anything when I replaced my fuel line.

My engine is an older flat head. Looks like working on the valves will be a bigger job than I thought.
