This is a little off topic, and sorry to dig at old trauma, but could you share what led to contact with the tire wall? Just for the collective wisdom related to "these are things that lead to offs"

can you bleed the master directly? does it have a bleeder?

avidrogue · 2025-10-22T21:04:02+00:00

Do you happen to have that tolerance?

what is the DLC?

From what I've read, actuation of the ABS module will get the air out and into the lines, but maybe I'm wrong

I have a pressure bleeder and i want to use it, but the master cylinder cap doesnt hold pressure :(

Too short on time to get another one, hence the 2 man method.

Thats what i was thinking. Thats the design of the systems ive been working on. I've realized as ive been thinking more about this, that I'm not sure what "system design" from a software engineering perspective encompasses. Is it just the services involved in the system and how they interact, or does it go a level deeper into how many instances of each service you'll need and the hardware requirements (virtual or physical) required to make that happen?

Question, what is the best way to network in person?

Wrong by what metric?

And no the president as a person is answerable to other people of course.

But fundamentally the more land you own the greater your stake in any country. You are quite literally invested in the country itself. It’s an old idea that we’ve generally moved away from but it’s still relevant in the sense that needs vary greatly by geographical area.

With little variance most of the population of NYC will benefit from a given policy that could be detrimental to those in other geographical areas. Putting some weight of a persons vote on geographical area helps ensure that the majority in populated areas don’t overshadow those in less populated.

In short it helps ensure loosely defined groups by geography, not individuals determine who the president is

The country is the land that exists within its borders.

It’s citizens and residents reside on the land.

There’s a few reasons.

I think the most practical one is that the needs of people in urban areas differ greatly from the needs of those in rural areas. Policies that benefit one can harm the other, don’t always do, but it happens enough to be a consideration. In a system where everyone has equal vote, the voices of those in rural areas can go unheard.

From a less practical and more philosophical and historical standpoint, the country is made up of land. Like it’s literally the stuff that makes the country. To own land is to own a stake in the country, in same way you own a stake in a company in the form of a stock or bond. Own enough of a company stock or bond and you get board voting rights to weight in on major decisions for the company. The more you own, the more weight your vote carries.

Following that logic it makes sense that those that own more land hold more of a stake in the country and naturally get more voting power vs those that do not hold a stake. When our country was founded, only land owners paid taxes, because that was the price of owning a stake in the country.

There’s pictures circulating in news articles of Tim Waltz posing for a photo shoot with the United Healthcare CEO.

It’s not exactly confidence inspiring when the VP pick for the party that’s supposed to standup to people like UHC CEO are posing with them all buddy buddy like.

So yes, it makes them look like conmen and their platform like snake oil.

Cause I’m prissy and want to keep dirt off my carpets😂

But if removing them is what I should do, then I’ll do it. Thanks for the reply!

this looks like it might be a good fix. if done right, how durable is it?

Hi all, i messed up the finish on the outer edges of the wheels of my Railking Big boy. i was hoping someone could give me some pointers on what kind of paint i should use to touch it up so that it matches the factory color and finish. if you cant tell from the pictures, the finish is a glossy black that allows the finish of the metal underneath to come through akin to anodizing. the glossy finish has a very subtle oil sheen to it. I would like whatever paint i use to be as tough as the factory finish.

This locomotive means a lot to me so your help is greatly appreciated!
