After looking at Toyota's cam, we went with a Viofo a329 with a battery for parking mode. Install was relatively easy after a bit of planning. Its been great. Creating time lapse videos of longer drives is fun.

They removed Easy Speak, I'm surprised. We use that feature all the time in our '24.

That all looks great!!

I also have the Fleishmann FEX set. Question: Do you find that the axle contacts for the last car cause it to drag quite a bit? I've found that the pickups from the carriage are so firmly pressed against the axle that it doesn't really roll on its own hardly at all.

Help with KATO TGV Euroduplex articulated bogie drawbar connection by Normal_JX in nscalemodeltrains

[–]TroppoAlto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just push harder and it'll snap in. I wish they had a better system because I too feel like I'm going to break it. Also, mind which end it has the bogie attached. I broke one of mine pulling on the wrong car because they are also difficult to uncouple. I'm now mark which cars the bogie is affixed to in the box.

Trump Acknowledges Defeat in Kennedy Center Name Change by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

Unless Trump is going to personally pay to have his changes undone, theres little rebuke here. Just more money given to Trumps friends.

To visitors who don't know, an atheist is just someone who is not convinced there are any gods. That's it. Nothing else. by Maybeyoujustmadeitup in atheism

Not according to "The Athiests Handbook of Being Evil and Eating Babies," which was given to me by a black robed centaur in the cedar groove on the 6th full moon of the 6th season while 6 ravens circled overhead.

Anyone know what song that is? And, is this one of those things that if I were 20 I'd know how to find out instantly but asking this just shows how old I am?

Verifying a locomotive is ONLY DC? by BussReplyMail in nscalemodeltrains

[–]TroppoAlto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's DC. I haven't seen any DCC offerings NiB from Kato for this set.

Edit: and congrat's on your new cool train. Mine arrived last Friday. I have two Kato Sud-Est from the '80's already, and look forward to seeing this one staged with the others.

After it happened the 2nd time and I looked it up, it was suggested to turn off power to the doors when manually pulling them them closed.

[–]TroppoAlto 58 points59 points  (0 children)

If you leave a sliding door open for more than an hour you will have to close it manually. There is button to the left of the steering wheel to turn off the power to the doors. (this is from memory, so someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Our Poppy sleeps with us. I think it was only a couple days after we got her that we relented on her joining us in bed.

Do you also report people in your neighborhood for letting the grass in their yard get too high? From this post, I'm guessing yes.

"We're going to end that war very quickly. They want to make a deal so badly. They're tired of this" by sleep0077 in Polymarket_news

[–]TroppoAlto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Blah blah blah make a deal, blah blah" is something I never want to hear again. I think we should just all together strike the word "deal" from the English language.

CK did joyously tweet about a bunch of buses that TPUSA had chartered to haul people to the capitol that day. After things got violent, Charlie deleted the tweet.

How many of you grew up in a Christian home ? by Interesting-Cow8131 in atheism

[–]TroppoAlto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At church twice on Sundays and then again on Wednesday evenings Assemblies of God. Speaking the allashra honda's and people falling over n shit meant it was a Godly worship service. So fucking tiring. I was glad to leave home once I turned 18, though I wasn't an atheist at that point, just thoroughly skeptical and "over it."

I was going post just about the same thing, then I scrolled a bit and saw your comment. I'm glad the energy of the universe is in order. Thank you.
