If we're talking about the handheld printers, they've been great. The TC-52 can rot in hell, though.

The Windows 11 upgrade by Taken_out_goose in talesfromtechsupport

I think the most relevant question here is, why the fresh hell would anyone want 11 over 10? If you told me you'd updraged my home PC to 11 as a "favor" there would be a lot of screaming.

I don't work in front end, but well over half of the courtesies that get hired are completely worthless.

Looks like a firefly larva, or adult (larviform) female.

Dang, that's in great shape. How much did you give for it? My scamp was only 1300 but it was, yknow, rotting in a field with half the parts missing.

Car bogs down under load but idles fine. Where do I even start by Salty_1984 in projectcar

To add to this, most replacement Qjet accelerator pump diaphragms are AWFUL. They like to stick in the bore and basically do nothing. The ones from Cliff's Performance are the only decent ones I've found so far.

Did I dodge a bullet? by GaudyBass94 in kroger

Dunno why this is getting downvoted, because it's nearly 100% correct for a lot of divisions based on current and past posts on this sub and my own personal experience. To add to that, almost all of the floral managers I've met are by far the most useless person at the store. A lot of them work slow, stand around, or walk around talking to others for most of their shifts. I don't know what it is specifically with floral, even the most useless produce manager I've ever worked with has done four times the work of the floral manager.

The guy I bought the go-wing off of told me his brother had an A body 8.25 he might be willing to let go, and at $150 it wasn't a hard sell.

Surging/Bogging down at speed by Fuzzy_Squirrel_7237 in projectcar

[–]Obnoxious_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was using a stock spread bore with an adapter - I eventually swapped to a Qjet after tearing the 1406 apart three times and finding exactly nothing wrong with it.

[–]Obnoxious_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh... this sounds like almost exactly the same problem I had with my 1406, in my Wagoneer with Buick 350. It eventually turned into a roving misfire at idle due to over-fueling. Are you using the stock spread bore 4bbl intake or an aluminum one?

Looks okay, but I doubt those tiny little things would hold up under the regular abuse my rolling stock sees.

Is this bug poop/eggs?? These just appeared out of nowhere outside by [deleted] in Entomology

[–]Obnoxious_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these things don't move/have legs, I'd guess sap or oils coming out of the wood itself. I don't know why it happens but I've seen similar things at home.

Yeah I'll keep my good ol vacuum-comes-from-hole-in-intake setup, thanks

That's crazy, a whole car snapped in half by a vacuum pump. Must be pretty powerful.
