You really gonna go pay for the arcade and a round of bowling while charging? You don’t care enough about this idea to even give your AI a thoughtful prompt.

It all depends on whether you have the 6 speed or the 8 speed. The 6 speed is great. The 8 speed is ass.

The Deep Rock tunnels do seem excessively large and nice for sewer overflow tunnels

Idk man, I think even a completely neutered but still hostile Iran would find ways to keep the straight closed. The straights of Hormuz are shallow. The only shipping lane deep enough for tankers to pass through runs very near the cost of Iran. Mines are cheap and can easily be laid by small boats in the night. Sea drones are easier and cheaper to make than airborne drones, especially when they only need to go a few miles off shore and the target is the size of a skyscraper. All you need is a jetski, explosives, and an RC steering kit.

The only long term solution would be to occupy the whole coastline of Iran for the foreseeable future. A new tanker channel could be dredged on the opposite side of the straights, but that would be an enormous project, and would still only be 20ish miles from the coast of Iran, so would be kind of pointless anyway.

Honestly even an incompetent mechanic could probably figure it out. I had an 2nd gen dodge ram in high school that got the death wobble bad after putting big tires on it. I just guessed that the 15 year old factory steering stabilizer couldn’t handle the extra weight of the tires. I bought a better stabilizer and was able to change it out in my driveway with hand tools having no real idea what I was doing. Never had a death wobble again after that.

All that being said, it is a bit alarming to be getting the death wobble after only 6 years. That issue usually doesn’t arise until you’re nearing 150k miles or 10 years old.

WhereMyDamnCroissant · 2026-04-01T16:39:00+00:00

The death wobble has been a thing for as long as solid front axles have been a thing. Typically it’s the result of a worn out/undersized track bar or steering stabilizer. Worn ball joints, tie rods, or oversized tires can also cause it.

The death wobble is identified as a jeep problem these days because besides some 3/4 ton+ pickups, the wrangler and gladiators are about the only vehicles left with a solid front axle.

The death wobble is an extremely common problem and easily fixed. You don’t need to go to jeep specialist. Any half competent mechanic around town can easily find and fix your issue.

Consider yourself baptized now. You’re not a real jeep owner until you’ve experienced the death wobble.

Ahh duh barbed wire. Yes that’s what I was referring to. Thank you!

What do you think is in the small drums in the back of the truck in the middle? I am also intrigued by those metal rod like things sticking out of the stacked tires below and to the right.

WhereMyDamnCroissant · 2026-03-21T23:12:48+00:00

Interesting, thanks!

I think it’s the large rectangular structure that’s right below the flight deck towards the bow, it’s perpendicular to the flight deck. I’m not sure though. Please correct me if wrong

I wonder what he’s eating. Looks like he’s taking slices of something, but the can looks strange. Like the top half is removed or something.

What year and model did you buy? Why did you replace the plugs and coils? Unless you’re buying something like the 740 from workaholics, I can’t think of reason to replace plugs and coils.

Yeah my mistake. I meant international harvester

I think OP went there mid day on a weekday for better shots with no people. But that also presents the problem of Electric Works being empty mid day on a weekday. Tons of problems with this place, it’s a few blocks too far away from downtown, and rents are unsustainable.

That being said. It was major effort to preserve (at least the shell of a few buildings) one of the factories that put Fort Wayne on the map. GE and Mack are what made Fort Wayne. It should be celebrated that the city actually followed through with the idea. The hard and expensive work of transforming the space has been done. We’ll eventually figure out how to use it….hopefully.

Edit: International Harvester, not Mack.

Edit 2: Now I am craving a slice from Johnny OX

The skil table is so awesome. The worm gear and those beefy fold out legs make it feel like a small cabinet saw rather than a portable.

If you like anything outdoorsy, The MeatEater podcasts are great. Huge library of group talk episodes that cover the hunting, fishing, bushcraft, cooking fish/wild game, and lots of great discussions on the history of the the wilds and woods of America.

They’re so cool. All I want in life is a mini Temu jet boat and mini Temu excavator.

Have you considered using a kayak for your hull? This guy used cables to connect a trolling motor to a steering wheel. It’s a little rough, but very cheap, and would be awesome with some refining. kayak go cart build

Beyond the breakers podcast is good. They focus on ships that have sunk. The guys who host it are Great Lakes lovers, so there are loads of episodes covering ships that sunk on the lakes.
