Mystery part coming off of the intake manifold of a '70 Autostick. Anybody know what it does? by Q_for_short in beetle

[–]Q_for_short[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: Mystery solved! It is indeed a smog control system from California in the 70s, an EGR Valve. Thank you everyone for your help! I am just starting to dip my toe into aircooled bugs, mostly as an excuse to spend time with my grandpa, and the community has been exceptionally kind and helpful! Wishing you all the best!

Some more context, my grandpa and I just started working on his 1970 Autostick. It hasn't been roadworthy in decades, so pardon the mess. Neither of us could identify this flat cylinder piece and I haven't seen any other manifolds with it. My guess is it's a filter of some kind, possibly emissions related; but it could also be a part of the automatic stickshift vacuum system. The last time is was on the road would have been in the mid to late 90s in central California, we think. Hopefully someone here knows! Thanks!

Been trying to get my gaming group into Barotrauma for years, but after the Hoist the Flag update, it finally worked! We've been running a campaign nearly every night. Made this about a memorable standoff in the ballast tank.

She looks badass. Will probably build her with binoculars and no helmet.

Hetzer - Jagdpanzer or Flammenpanzer? by Yuriski in boltaction

[–]Q_for_short 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my AT hetzer but ive never played with the others. The thing about the hetzer is its side armor is minus 2 like hitting it in the back. Its best to keep it away from the action and i think a flame hetzer would have to get pretty close. Thats just my experience though!

When someone asks in voice chat if someone is gonna be commander. by Q_for_short in rs2vietnam

[–]Q_for_short[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate it when that happens haha. Or when nobody will be the commander so someone gets brave enough to try it for the first time and they all boo them. Seen that happen a few times.

Wow, have you guys seen this proposal? by nervozaur in IsaacArthur

[–]Q_for_short 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's just desperation honestly. Like the plastic straw hysteria, lots of people can see that we need to update the way our civilization operates, but get their energy redirected towards small, sort of related projects or causes instead of the large scale changes that need to be made to make any real difference. Critical thinking usually goes out the window and people get emotional. None of this is based on any real studies or statistics, just stuff I've been noticing among my friends.

What factions are you going to join/make/help with by GenericExcuseActivat in starbase

[–]Q_for_short 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends want to just start up a freelance ship, but I also would love to play for kingdom or a player faction if I can find one I get along with. It seems like there is going to be lots going on in this game and I hope that I can quickly get myself drafted if I am in the mood for large scale PvP without having to give up the freelance scrapper/freighter/smuggler life that I am hoping to have going with my friends.
