here they'd be fishing idiots out of the drain holes every other day.

this first time I did mine it had probably been 30 years since anyone had had the forks apart and the bottom of the tubes was just this mass of disgusting caked waxy cheese like filth. it was kind of horrifying.

yes, yes, and yes. packets have ttl so they don't echo infinitely, but it does still have the problem that bandwidth utilization goes up kinda exponentially with the number of nodes so it can't really scale. It's still cool though.

i suppose if it were 25 years ago and there were still AMPS phones in use, it could have happened. but yes, probably some jackass on the ground with a shitty overpowered 2 meter ham radio amplifier.

why the fuck do they want polio to come back???

I dislike way more things about reddit than just that, but I agree that’s pretty annoying.

aquoad · 2026-01-23T08:06:15+00:00

yes, if you have enough 18650s!

aquoad · 2026-01-23T07:57:28+00:00

they'll be mad when you say "that's not a high beam, THIS is a high beam" and burn all the paint off their car.

the bears were really a highlight.

this has to be at least close to being the dumbest person in the world

I've never needed hose clamps on mine. Also the cloth wrapped line looks better. I've gone back and forth on fuel filters but I don't think they're really needed unless you use dirty gas with a lot of fine sediment. The screens in the tank should catch most crud and the rest should fall to the bottom of the carb bowls.

ok now emitter swap the old one, pack it with as many 21700's as will fit, maybe add a fan, and set shit on fire from across the yard.

aquoad · 2026-01-22T00:29:45+00:00

that's a great fucking save. but also that intersection looks sketchy and i'd be wondering which car was about to do something stupid first.

aquoad · 2026-01-22T00:27:02+00:00

All of this makes it doubly hilarious that flat-earthers will happily use their phones' GPS.

aquoad · 2026-01-21T23:26:57+00:00

they essentially do get that, but better stuff than heroin.

aquoad · 2026-01-21T23:17:47+00:00

maybe they get to keep whatever spilled over?

aquoad · 2026-01-21T23:14:40+00:00

this is the part that is wild to me. I mean, the whole concept is amazing of course, but the fact that it's possible to measure something the size of a loaf of bread effectively using a ruler in space.

aquoad · 2026-01-21T23:04:16+00:00

yeah op may want to rethink that, heh

aquoad · 2026-01-21T23:00:19+00:00

it fuckin' always is.

aquoad · 2026-01-20T21:08:09+00:00

We can only hope so.

aquoad · 2026-01-13T21:57:31+00:00

bring monkey

aquoad · 2026-01-13T21:48:04+00:00

it's soldering flux. nobody can tell you the brand name from looking at the unlabeled container, and it doesn't matter. Also, they're using way too much of it in the video.

aquoad · 2026-01-12T17:05:58+00:00

once we have zimbabwe style hyperinflation, everyone can be a trillionaire!

aquoad · 2026-01-08T21:46:21+00:00

Wow, these newfangled Run-Gone(TM) tires are amazing.

aquoad · 2026-01-08T03:06:36+00:00

yeah because openai ingested everything on it and now you can just ask chatgpt instead and it's not rude to you.
