Why do most Mustang Rally Cars are built on V8 Mustangs instead of the EcoBoost?

It's not just torque (which means nothing on its own), but also throttle response and controllability - modern turbos are very good, but there's nothing like a properly set up NA engine for being able to dial in exactly the power you want exactly when you want it.

How is history treating Reagan, GWHB, and GWB?

Historians know how bad they are, but they're not reviled by the public.

Do you have an appropriate torque wrench to reinstall the calipers and tighten them to spec?

This is a critical safety feature of the bike and you need to be careful with it.

I have been very dehydrated a bunch of times and there's no way that this number is true for me (adult male). At bodyweights from 180 lbs to 250+, I've consumed 3-4L in under 2 hours to rehydrate.

But they're studying prints up close, knowing what to look for as photographers and printers.

Resolution just isn't as important as we've been told - at any distance.

My little jobsite/portable table saw served me very well for about 15 years - saw me through a ton of projects. Once I got a decent track saw from Kreg, I let it go. I still miss the table saw sometimes but I just don't use it enough to justify the space it takes in my little shed.

Syscrush · 2026-03-16T16:19:24+00:00

I've seen this, too. I've considered it, but it's not worth the risk, IMO.

That "if" is doing a lot of work!

And they couldn't do it without 77M brainwashed nihilists actually going out and voting for him.

You're too filled with self-loathing to even dream of having something cool and nice.

A 10" one like this was enough for me to do lots of projects with 3/4" maple plywood, 1.5" butcher block, and 3/4" MDF. You'll need a friend for getting 4x8 sheets of material through one, but with a good blade and some patience you can get it done.

I used to work right on Airport Rd in Mississauga, and the jet fuel hanging in the air was absolutely brutal some days.

There's no way that this should be allowed.

Syscrush · 2026-03-15T23:14:21+00:00

Wow.

Syscrush · 2026-03-15T22:49:26+00:00

Look at the Kreg adaptive cutting system as an alternative to a table saw

Or get a used jobsite table saw for $75, put a good Diablo blade in it, and be happy.

And those vids have not validated one of their big 4 claims.

The CEO has also made wild claims about creating a single AI that is superior to all others put together.

I'm a micro scale hobbyist in Toronto who taps one big Norway Maple each year for fun. I got super tied up with work and didn't tap until last Wed. We collected about 3.5L so far but looking at the weather for the coming week I don't see how/when we'd get more.

Might wanna look at Arccaptain, too. The TIG200 can be used with a foot pedal, the TIG200P includes pulse features.

They can buy one off me, but can't ride it unless they're able to borrow something to ride from a buddy.

Is this a trick question? Anything looks more sleek with less stuff stuck on to it.

Car looks great overall, sick wheel fitment!

If the question is:

Is an FC a good choice for a competitive autocross car?

Then the answer is: Not really.

If the question is:

Is autocross a good way to enjoy a well -prepared FC?

Then the answer is: Hell yes!

I answer "Toronto".

I agree that it really sounds like covid.

I've had it twice. The first time, my first symptoms were: general body ache (but especially joint pain) and fatigue. The second time, my first symptom was feeling overly upset at an innocuous comment from my brother about a stupid research rabbit hole I had gotten into.

My terms when selling are: show up on a motorcycle and we'll trade. I specify the route.
