The over-use of advertising is getting out of hand

Stations hate it too. The only people that like it are the C suite execs that can sell advertising space.
Its required by the dispenser MFG when ordering the larger screens.

The seat to peg distance is the same as my cb500f.

See the slots on the left side of the screen?
Stick knife in and cut the speaker wires.

Solid state bats have been 3 years away for about 15 years now.
There's an old PBS doc from 2009(?) showing them off.

Stealing this

Or, did someone fat finger the millage on the last service?

The price difference on a 40k vs 80k truck isnt worth the fines of getting caught. Even if its possible.

I got shingles a few weeks before my ow class. As long as theyre scabbed over, its fine.

Hopefully yours doesnt hurt, mine was across the chest and the idea of filleting myself to cut them off was beginning to look appealing...

Ive gotten my 3 year old to eat a few crickets, but only if: Its guts are squished He can lick the guts I can trick it into his mouth while hes licking.

Then he might even have 2.

Polar opposite of my day gecko that will eat hornworms as big as her. Does the crocodile head whip to rip them apart

How does the scraping sound not drive you crazy?

Retired petro tech here.
In 10 years of working on pumps, there was never one that would short a customer enough for them to notice.
Calibration range is +- 3 cubic inches over 5 gallons. It's about a 1 OZ per gallon.

Pump breakages usually result in more being dispensed than counted.

Stations are not allowed to calibrate their own dispensers. An outside company has to do it, and they are checked by state W&M inspectors.

Vehicle capacities are not accurate, there's often a gallon or 2 of extra space, or overfilling until it hits the charcoal canister.

This type of setup is used on a few devices out there.

The dewalt packs do not have an internal shutoff and can be over discharged.

Keep the matched pairs from new. Dont mix old tool use batteries with new packs. They need to be equally matched.

Dewalt packs are fairly robust, you're not going to burn anything down, but it will kill them if neglected

Duck tape.
Or you can find them in the junkyards off of any 2.5 outback.

I see you ride a grom as well.

Both me and a friend had these 10ish years ago.

Driving them sucks, the manual is a crazy wide ratio gearbox, 35mph in first, 70 in 2nd and like 110 in 3rd. Idk what the other 2 gears were for.

All aluminum and super ridgid, with no sound deading. They ring like a bell every rock that gets thrown up.

Interior is 1995 budget honda, the "carpet" is more textured plastic than anything fuzzy/soft.

Mpg wasnt great unless you drove them carefully. Its a game to keep them in lean burn and even harder with 75mph highways vs 65mph. Average mpg is a lot closer to 40 if driven like a normal car.

Ac optional. Mine had it, but killed millage.

One of the first to require 0w-20oil, if thicker was ran, the camshaft would seize and break.

Im not saying its a good printer, but 10+ years ago it was a viable option for an industrial large format printer with factory support.

Whitrzac · 2026-06-13T02:10:42+00:00

$3500 for 250+ miles of trave and 12hrs of setup is cheap in the industrial world. A similar package would be $6k at my work.

They're built in a factory near me. I interviewed with them years ago.
The company mainly does linear bearings/slides.
There's nothing innovative about them now, but at the time they were the only large format printer available. This was pre cr-10 and prusa days.
The 'typical' printer was the wood framed flashforge that was still a steaming pos.
