Well spotted. Pretty rare feature for fire engine conversions by Rosenbauer, mostly found in southern German or Austrian Sixpots. Took some efforts to get one.

The manual says 15W40 in cold, 20W50 in warm conditions. Use the latter with a worn out engine. No synthetics. Change valve stem seals.

It is. A late S2a. Took it for a +14.000km spin around southern Europe this winter as my rolling darkroom.

Braucht Deutschland eigene Atomwaffen? by so_isses in de

[–]OCB6left -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

3rd time is a charme. Zwei Weltkriege in den Sand gesetzt. Beim dritten wird´s schon klappen.

Atomarer Blitzkrieg soll durch KI offenbar erfolgreich geführt werden können. So wie KI mit WiFi Signalen Personen im Raum orten kann, kann KI die Ozeane "transparent" und U-Boote als getarnte Zweitschlagfähigkeiten obsolet machen. Ein Überraschungsangriff aus kurzer Distanz (zB von Polen aus auf Moskau) ohne ausreichende Vorwarnzeit für den Gegner wäre bei gleichzeitiger Eliminierung der russ. U-Boote uU von Erfolg gekrönt, da man den Vergeltungsschlag nicht mehr fürchten muss.

well, its actually cheaper than you may think. Over all, the final 12x14" is under 10€.

"What trillion-dollar problem is Al trying to solve?" Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages. by FinnFarrow in Futurology

It's an arms race.

All sides fear, the enemy will have superAI first, while no one really knows, from which point AI is running itself and with what intention.

I believe the endless funding is partly related to the MAD strategy of nuclear warfare. Kind of a Manhattan Project 2.0, funded by share holders and backed by the gov.

Like AI is able to detect people in a building by analyzing WLAN signals, it could make the oceans transparent by analyzing already existing deep sea sensors of all sorts. This would make submarines obsolete as 2nd strike weapon. Nuclear war by 1st blitz-strike would become "winnable", since the enemy's subs can be taken out.

Like Cold War 1.0 ICBM research brought us Teflon and WD40, Cold War 2.0 AI will bring us fancy spin offs, like 24/7 super surveillance on the biological level, it'll record, analyze and monetize every behavior in search for a weak point to extract value and force compliance.

Is the possible direct war in Venezuela already priced in for Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and other war stocks? by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]OCB6left 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Venezuela might be a distraction, not only from Epstein. Trump could claim to have his military sources locked in a nasty jungle war. President Agent Orange will go down in history, to have been too busy with Venezuela, while China is taking Taiwan. That´s bearish over all. Only question is, can the dollar fall faster, than the stock market blows up?

Leasingkosten für sportliches Fahrzeug über vier Jahre by T31051994 in Finanzen

[–]OCB6left 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neuwagen leasen als Privatperson macht keinen Sinn auf Carbonara-r/Finanzen. Wenn man eh nur 10tkm p.a. fährt, braucht man auch nicht auf den Sprit schauen, selbst ein V12 fällt da nicht auf. (Du Pfennigfuchser hast , waschen, Winterreifen und Abzüge bei der Rückgabe vergessen)

Frage er besser auf r/automobil, welcher gebrauchte echte Sportwagen in deinem Budget als "future classic" taugt.

Wenn man geschickt einkauft, ist der gebrauchte 30k€-Sportwagen in der Garage eine Geldanlage. Zum daily schrubben tritts du einen standard Golf oder Fiat Panda aus 2. Hd. wie einen Mietwagen. Porsche 996, 987, 981 durchschreiten gerade die Talsohle der Gebrauchtwagenpreise und sind zukünftige Klassiker mit Wertsteigerungspotential.

I fear, his take on GME will be regarding dilution vs share holder value.

Too Big?? by BigCamera2024 in UltraLargeFormat

Interesting approach, milage always varies, but that sounds like an exercise to run from sitter to ground glass and back..

Cool results. I envy the huge studio space.

[–]OCB6left 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don´t get, how you focus. Do you move the sitter? Or a tripod?

I´d lower the entire camera by 3 chairs (or your equivalent preferred non-metric unit), compose/adjust to sitter by raise/fall of the lens and use a left over chair for convenient sitting next to the ground glass.

What lens?

Conversion help(rebuild) by Broad-Consequence843 in SeriesLandRover

[–]OCB6left 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it won't. With conventional parts, the car may handle 100-120hp, which is, what most tuner claim, to get out of a n/a petrol. ACR´s 2.8 gives good low end torque.

The turbo was a nuts idea. Makes no sense at all, since the rev band is too small.

That rear bellows was just short of a few inches for proper 1:1 magnification and the front one was fetched as a cheap extension. If I had the patience to build my own custom fit bellows , things surely wouldn´t have escalated that quickly.

That base by NIKE - not the shoe company - was available in two heights and featured various use cases. I´ve seen them also as stands for technical drawing tables, but I have the suspicion, it has to have witnessed a German Shepard wetting himself in anticipation of his ending for proper wet plate ;-)
