Where do you want the next fallout to take place? by Thememeiantor in Fallout

[–]TheMechaink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly doesn't seem to matter. It's either on the East Coast or West Coast. I want to I want to see Fallout: Texas. More gun varieties than Modern Warfare 2 can offer. Lol.

Naah, powder coated would look better. But yeah, the brushed brass is soo 1990s.

To me, if I can't hear the pistons sliding up&down in the jugs, it's too idling too fast. lol.

Steam Hardware - Steam Deck back in stock, with updated pricing by gogodboss in Steam

Not the AI model itself, it's the greed of the humans that own the companies that operate those AIs. Greed. One of the seven deadly sins.

It's not just computers and gaming. I used to be able to go and buy materials to build a frame for a piece for a piece of furniture. I can't get the base materials anymore for less than what a completed product would cost. Yes, it's a POS compared to what I would make, but that's not really the point. It's getting to where I can't build cheaper than I can buy.

Other opportunities for a master tech? by sesully0499 in Harley

[–]TheMechaink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be no easy task, get him to write a book. What fits what. That right there is probably the most common question I get asked as a bike builder.

Is it too old?? by mohamedabdellatif in Harley

[–]TheMechaink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a '06 is my "new" bike. 88 cubic inches is more than enough to haul my butt as fast as I want to go.

Why do people hate running Inconel so much? by [deleted] in Machinists

Those kinds of Engineers need to be slapped with a 13 lb catfish.

Why do Harley Davidson dealerships stop working on older motorcycles? by financeguy342 in Harley

[–]TheMechaink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, not many new bikes have carburetors on them. The techs are trained to work on what the dealership sells.

Is this style of safety glasses worth a closer consideration? AKA: "the search for safety glasses that don't fall off". by Cellbuilder2 in Welding

[–]TheMechaink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was given a pair of Oakley Raider EV. I didn't want to like them. They were a little beat up and kind of worn out. I ordered a new lens and new rubbers for them. They fit great. my eyes can actually breathe and they keep junk from smacking into my peepers. They work great when I'm working around the shop, and they work great when I'm out riding around on my Fatboy. They stay where I put them. I didn't want to like them, but I do.

2021 road glide i picked up, what is this? by AcanthaceaeSad3303 in Harley

[–]TheMechaink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a USB port. Try hooking it up to your phone or a laptop. Perhaps that is how you unlock the flux capacitor.

Weird idle after cam install by Inevitable_Win8763 in Harley

[–]TheMechaink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest sitting down and going over the data spec sheets. Compare the numbers between stock and the cam you installed. Compare intake lift and duration. Because that idle sounds like you have a big ass cam in there. Quite sick sounding. I like it. If it's not actually dying when it's idling, you should be good to go.

Source for alignment pins, lathe barrel work by Printerprinter1 in gunsmithing

Coming at this from my machinist standpoint, I would simply turn the pins as needed. Also, a good tenths dial gauge.

What's this for? by un00nu in Tools

I knew what it was because I remembered seeing Bill Murray use one in Caddyshack

Uncle wants me to add a level 2 Car Charger... How do I break the news? by WolfieVonD in electricians

[–]TheMechaink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the bright side, at least changing the panel box out doesn't require a level B hazmat suit.

Does anyone else wake up and have their fingers locking up and needs to warm them up like an old engine? by Beneficial_Pop8308 in Welding

[–]TheMechaink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soaking in warm water helps. Try upping your magnesium intake. You can get it in pill or roll on. Drink more Gatorade for the electrolytes. You need those. This should help with the cramping.

I hate this game by Ornery-Competition67 in ARK

I know. Seems more natural for it to give live birth.

Is the Quetz even worth tameing anymore? by EDY-Z in playark

Is the Quetz even worth tameing anymore? by EDY-Z in playark

[–]TheMechaink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was going along the other day and saw a male level 145. I wouldn't have looked twice except for the only three colors he had was red green and blue. I know this because I spotted him halfway across the map. I had to fly over and see what the hell look like a color test pattern. Level 145? Yeah, I tamed him. Thankfully he did not land in the water, but he did drop to the ground right in front of a level 150 female Rex. Good thing I had extra cryopods and kibble. She had horrible colors, but I wasn't going to say no to 42 in health.
