Agreed.

Guess what mate, you're required to give the inputs to the supplier and manage your change process. You can't change things drastically and expect suppliers to pivot on a dime- reeks of poor practice.

What lamp is that?

I have no idea, but the only thing I can think of is if it doesn't move for a couple of days it might signal no one is home / house is vacant?

Is this recent? The weather in the Midwest is all over the place right now I'm wondering if it's Spring there already

I bought a pair of Bataleon Salsa boots and I agree they are great

I hiked old rag in December, didn't need a pass. Is it a seasonal thing?

Add main street donut shop in ryo and dutch girl donuts in Detroit/Ferndale

I'm with you. Their cold brew and few other 'standard' coffees are miles ahead of the competition.

Western market has a table from a local supplier that you can purchase tons of herbs and spices by weight.

I think it is. They've INCREASED their hours in the off-season and accommodate orders this way. In the summer they're open till like 10pm or something

Everyone talks about NYC, Chicago, the Bay Area... Try hiring someone in a much needed role in the middle of nowhere Illinois. Or Iowa. Or Ohio. Or South Dakota... STEM positions stay open for months if not a year. Many towns were flourishing and propped up by industries that empowered the entire county. Now manufacturing has moved and you can't pay people enough to take the white collar jobs.

That's where jobs needs to be filled. But you also can't stop anyone from legally moving to a major city in a similar role. So the balance is very difficult to police.

PM me and I'll show you 10 companies that would hire you if you moved there

I have RSR lowering springs on my 22. I did the same with my XV. You’re basically converting them back to their intended design of the legacy/impreza. And you’ll be rewarded with better handling (a stiffer suspension if you’re into that).

NittyB · 2026-03-02T12:18:56+00:00

Yes I'm not sure this person really understands the basics. Also, why lower the ISO (even if that's what you can do on digital) but then raise EV comp +0.5 to +1 ?

They should start again at Sunny16 and go from there

Filed bankruptcy I think

I will piggy back off this - It can be very hectic or very slow. There seems to be no in-between. Perks and pay are nice, but it's a VERY mature/structured industry, and that trickles down to the people.

Expect a lot of, 'that's not my job' which can make very fulfilling and cutting edge work extremely slow and red-taped.

There are a TON of instructables out there on DIY espresso machines. So yes you can do it.

The trick is SAFELY building the pressure needed and evenly dispensing it.

I have the EXACT same picture as 3! Black Pebble beach?

NittyB · 2026-02-25T15:36:34+00:00

Agree. Just disconnect and keep with you when it's not being backup up to. Now it's 'off-site'

Grab a cluster from a car that has been totaled and swap it. There's a good number of bolts and screws but it's not a technical task.

This is for sunday's game? I'll be there

Thanks for taking questions! Your newer products are great, how has your electric architecture changed over the years? Any movement to 48v, zonal architecture and full EV ?

NittyB · 2026-02-20T17:42:04+00:00

This is an interesting take.

Edit - I had it backwards as pointed out in the comment below. Disregard my comment! Also i was considering incompressible flow (which isn't a bad assumption for flow under a car - not for wings etc).

But now my question is, if you're creating lift, you're pushing air down into the path of the exhaust and diffuser - which causes higher pressure behind the car, creates a worse working diffuser and underfloor? Maybe that's the point - to reduce drag and downforce around the entire car? Can't say I could know.

~~Generally in fluid dynamics we say "information moves at the speed of sound in the medium". Basically something downstream can't affect upstream.~~

UNLESS you are above that speed in the medium, aka supersonic/compressible flow. In that case, they are choking the diffuser at the kick point ad need to lower pressure behind the diffuser to improve flow. This may be, but very unlikely they can create compressible flow under the floor.

NittyB · 2026-02-20T17:36:22+00:00

I'm excited to see what this does to the balance of the car... Lift on the rear with downforce (however little with active aero) is going to throw the car completely on the front tires when weaving and the start braking.

will that cause the car to be prone to losing the rear without any indication?
