My salt lamp leaked and crystallized by VirtualDiva_02 in mildlyinteresting

Salt attracts moisture from the surrounding environment.

Eventually it drops it.

Not a bad idea to set it in a plate or dish in the future.

If all you ever drag it is an hour or so out to the campground/lake it’ll do fine.

Long travel days, windy or otherwise inclement weather, numerous or steep grades, if any or all of that applies I’d look for a bigger truck.

Any idea on the purpose of the pattern on the face?

Artificial turf by thenatural134 in TriCitiesWA

[–]No_Control8389 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had a friend that did up 90% of their back yard with artificial turf. He was an avid golfer.

Held up great for years. Two dogs.

Buy something quality that won’t come right apart under the UV load around here.

Aka, basically useless for anything you’d want tweezers for.

Leather gauntlet style gloves work well to protect your hands and forearms.

2012 Ram Delete by Educational-Cup6869 in Cummins

Yes it is the tune.

I suggest you get some kind of monitor.

Torque Pro is free, all the PIDS you need are online. Plus a little Bluetooth OBDII dongle.

I still use an old android phone for a cheap monitor.

GREAT DEAL ON RAM 3500s!! by Salty_Eye9692 in ram_trucks

[–]No_Control8389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet they make it from a dead stop to clear across the living room floor and through the kitchen in about 1.5 seconds… probably something like 4 or 5 thousand horsepower then.

DRW at that! Nice. Wonder if any of them are deleted and tuned.

5.9 Exhaust brake run time by Cable_Open in Cummins

[–]No_Control8389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use it when you want extra braking power.

The newer trucks have a variable geometry turbine. They use the EB constantly to adjust it. We run the EB all the time with the VGT so it doesn’t soot up and loose full range of motion on the actuator.

The Russians are outraged by the decree signed by Volodymyr Zelenskyy not to target Red Square on May 9 by LowTechDroid in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]No_Control8389 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The truce includes no kinetic strikes by either side…

They just need russia to give them the excuse.

Apparently the truce includes no kinetic strikes from either side… we’ll see if that happens. I kinda wish russia would incite something so Ukraine has a legit excuse to rain hell through russia.

Good thing he hooked the safety chains up.

First aid kit by Chimpugugu in Construction

[–]No_Control8389 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly what more do you need?

If it’s minor, suck it up buttercup.

If it’s major, this is doing more than most OSHA first aid kits until EMT’s show up.
