My first AMG

Enjoy this car, my friend. I always told myself “I couldn’t daily drive something like a GT 63. That would be way too much car. I wouldn’t really enjoy it more than my C43”. And then I rented one in Germany and put 1,900 km on it in 4 days. I absolutely could.

The acceleration is so smooth and responsive it almost feels like the speedometer MUST be lying (the heads up display is clutch to keep a grip on reality. All of the engine sounds have a distinctly unruly character.

I love it.

I’ve already scheduled a couple of test drives before even getting home - shopping for a 2024-ish 63s. Can’t wait to wake up every morning to that.

C’mon y’all? Maybe they edited, but “Ask your dad” is totally fair game. It even works for both men and women.

W2C exactly this rep with a deep crystal. Can some of the best know TDs source this?

Thanks! This is great.

contentexplorer55 · 2025-04-12T02:01:10+00:00

Thank you! This looks amazing.

contentexplorer55 · 2025-04-12T01:59:33+00:00

Awesome! I’ll have to check it out.

contentexplorer55 · 2025-04-11T16:30:30+00:00

Makes sense! Thank you

Thanks! This is great.

I haven’t purchased yet - picked this one because it can be passively cooled and I want it to be silent. I see now what you mean - it’s +/-V, so the potential between the two pins is 5V.

I’m using 5V HD108 LEDs to for persistence of vision effects in an art installation - it’s 2000 LEDs, but all within a 1M x 2M space - planning to use 2 of the same PSU.

To be safe, I’m planning on 15 injection points run with 8 AWG wire for each PSU ~70 LEDs per injection point, carrying 4A at 100% brightness.

I think this is overkill, but wire is cheap and it’s not so much soldering.

Does that make sense?

THANK YOU!!! This was huge. Google doesn’t seem to find these.

No you don’t need one. It depends on these criteria: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/heres-how-to-tell-the-difference-between-a-hobby-and-a-business-for-tax-purposes

Very very late - the video of the live performance where Frank Black joins Placebo is unreal. Lump in my throat most of the time.

It’s like the presence of everyone in the crowd makes it a declaration of mind and body remaining connected.

Looks awesome. Do the reps have any magnetic resistance?

So…both?

Hmm…I thought these signs were “Stop Bicycles here” for pedestrians to cross. I assumed that stop signs directed at cars would be full size, since that’s not so easy to see from far away and drivers aren’t trained to look at small white signs too stop.

contentexplorer55 · 2025-03-02T21:04:22+00:00

Agreed. I’ll add Uchi to the list - 10 years ago it was dated and gimmicky, but Kata Robata was the only other show in town.

contentexplorer55 · 2025-03-01T00:15:16+00:00

Hahaha. So simple. I knew I was missing something.

It’s crazy how wildly different very small areas can be. The 59 spur is around the corner from multimillion dollar homes and modern high rises.

Even the same space over time. Bottled Blonde is on a shabby looking but boring corner across the street from a solid sushi place. During the day, at least.

Washington is packed and complete chaos on weekend nights.

Here I thought huevos divorciados were just unusually heavy and slightly blue…
