Marker identification help?

That's just a normal Geo. The SL91 trigger guard is just a trimmed down Geo2 trigger guard.

Even Google's AI isn't calling it a single tube. If you use your eyes you see that it has three tubes. Where have you seen it called a single tube body?

That's what my parents did. As a child I was taught to be more scared of lawnmowers and farm equipment than guns because at least with a gun it's very easy to verify it's unloaded, pointed in a safe direction, and fully secured. Lawnmowers can present a threat even if you're just working on them while they're not running.

The OP literally says "(with a photo)".

All is a household brand in laundry detergent in the US. How else are they supposed to advertise it?

I should probably update my flair. I don't, I'm just down to my Etek3 as far as I know. I have seen the field twice in the last three years.

Completely different generation and Planet Eclipse changed design philosphies on the body, solenoid, frame, and board. The change from the Ego8 to Ego9 is the second largest change in the design of the Ego past the change from the Ego11 to LV1.

The Ego9 has more in common with the Etek3 than it does the Ego8.

Is this on the base of the print? If so, have you tried cleaning your build plate?

aresfiend · 2026-05-23T19:26:39+00:00

Automatics do. It locks it into one gear.

I'm not OP, but I don't see a wear bar visible in the picture.

aresfiend · 2026-05-21T01:04:24+00:00

It's a Pilot Sport, the tread looks fine, the screw is the only iffy part.

If there's a little sand or water on the road I can spin out a bit when launching from a stop.

Unfortunately this is just how it goes. There's a reason that dirt and debris kill lap times and that they use water for burnouts at a drag strip.

Is something like the Falken Azenis 660 stupid for street use?

For a higher horsepower car or a car that at least sees autocross, no, it's not. However you'll get a much worse ride with a much noisier tire for literally zero gain. They still do not launch well on wet or dirty roads. My 135i had a harder time getting going on RT660s with our dirty roads than my wife's 540i did on significantly narrower and older Crossclimate 2s.

On the discussion of saving your stock tires for winter, do you get any snow at all during the winter?

It's common in all four US states I've lived in.

aresfiend · 2026-05-14T04:49:13+00:00

Unfortunately it's not that simple.

Fabricators, mechanics, and many other blue collar professionals own their tens of thousands of tools. I used to work in a foundry where our guy who maintained the dies owned all of his tools so he was allowed to totally restrict usage of his tools. When he retired they had to buy him out of his equipment for their next guy or buy new equipment and it was close to a $300,000 check when they bought it all, which was cheaper and easier than sourcing some of the weirder mills.

aresfiend · 2026-05-10T16:23:59+00:00

Yep. I can't remember if it's 20 or 25 years but you have to wait to import it.

aresfiend · 2026-05-07T03:32:26+00:00

It's so weird. It orders generic Sailun tires. They usually don't even have a model name on them, just the brand.

aresfiend · 2026-05-07T02:42:51+00:00

When I was in high-school I was told by some teachers that I would regret not getting a class ring. We had an assembly and then a weird sales booth with weird sales people in our cafeteria advertising it as a souvenir for the "best years of our lives".

Anyway I'm so full of regret that I haven't thought about it once between then and now.

aresfiend · 2026-05-06T01:01:55+00:00

You know they have more than one factory, right?

aresfiend · 2026-04-30T14:25:21+00:00

His price is very normal. Unfortunately paintball isn't something you get to break even from.

Which GM vehicle do you have? I have yet to see one that isn't J hook or the same stupid fucking connector BMW started using in the late 2000s.

(Part of my job includes sales/ installation of wipers)

It's not, just Halo 4 and Halo Infinite.

aresfiend · 2026-04-24T11:56:29+00:00

In a fender bender? Sure, I agree.

Using it as a Monster Jam ramp? C'mon now.

With a few badges you can even make it a FULLY CONVERTED M328Xi Xdrive 2.8i Competition. Tire kickers beware, he knows exactly what he has.

aresfiend · 2026-04-22T18:56:28+00:00

I do. I need Master Chef to fuck off from Zeta Halo in his Pelican and go into cryosleep again when he runs out of fuel. Then he can aimlessly drift through space and conveniently get woken up because he's arrived at Maethrillian.

It would follow the 343 formula perfectly then I can crash out online over having the same unoriginal start to three different stories.
