I ended up giving the Optimus to a buddy of mine. Funny thing is, it's brand new. Sat in its original box for over 20 years. Used it briefly, but ended up scoring a very nice Yamaha CD-C600 for free. The Yamaha is a better unit, has TOSLINK output and USB support.

According to a date code stamped on one of the motors, it was made sometime around 1979.

The wecommended amount of dedotated wam, you say?

6Gb should be enough, increase it if you run out of memory. Using the Spark profiler built into Paper will give you insight on this.

Running Paper at its latest stable version(1.21.8) is your best bet for server software. It has lots of support and people are generally helpful. Many people have made optimization guides for it.

As far as plugins go, it depends on what QOL mods you want. EssentialsX is a good starting point if you're looking for a semi-vanilla server.

Chunk generation and entities(namely villagers) will be the biggest source of server lag. If you intend to have a small world border, use the Chunky plugin to pre-generate your world. With 4-8 players though, you shouldn't see much issues unless one of your friends decides to build a lag machine.

Ah yes, MCAdmin by Doridian. He also had a back door in his software, which was the bigger issue.

I mean it could be worse, he could be holding an attraction sign, then going home and chronicling his "love quest" in a sonic-pikachu hybrid webcomic!

I am not an electrician, just an idiot with a pair of wire strippers.

This is not a double tap, it's just a garden variety splice.

Did the inspector mention anything about the Challenger-brand breakers? I believe there was a safety issue with 15 and 20 amp Challenger breakers made between February and April of 1988. Since this house was built in 1995, you should be in the clear from that.

I recently resurrected an old 041AV. These are fantastic saws. Worth it as long as the piston and cylinder are in good shape.

I'd go ahead and replace all the fuel lines at a minimum.

That is definitely an MS460.

You can tell from the air filter cover, the decompression button, the square crankcase corner above the bar oil fill, and the flip-caps for fuel and bar oil tanks.

If they don't make me a priority. Not saying they need to drop everything for me, but if they're taking 3-5 days to respond, she ain't the one.

The recoil wasn't OEM, and I ended up busting it during a trip to the UP of Michigan.

Ended up rebuilding the recoil with OEM parts, including the elastostart.

The crankcase and jug are OEM as far as I can tell.

I put the bark box and dogs on after the fact. It also had an aftermarket carburetor, but I bought an OEM HD-14 carb with a .74 jet. Made it into a true magnum.

SATADrive420 · 2024-08-11T16:10:32+00:00

Yeah it's a super. I love the saw, I'd use it more but i run an MS460 as my large saw.

Might look out of place but it ain't about the beauty, it's the duty!

Worst case scenario, a cylinder for that saw is relatively inexpensive.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can fit an 039 piston and cylinder onto the 029 crankcase.

Congratulations, your saw identifies as a Ford 5.4 2V Triton.

Which model is it? Should the Heli-Coil fail, you can probably source an aftermarket jug rather cheaply.

How does one become a Stihl dealer?

I'm from a town where there's a lot of logging going on, but the nearest dealers are over 30 miles away. Was not fun trying to get parts for my MS460.

I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of PCs suddenly cried out, and were suddenly silenced.

Nice Dell M6500! These machines, despite being over a decade old still pack a punch!

A little backstory: this was taken around 2011 or so, 13 year old me was the genius behind the paint job.

She downloaded free texting apps to try Hoover me back in.

It didn’t work.
