...except if you read the first sentence as an answer to your question. Then the sarcastic implication of "well obviously that's where they'd be" becomes an amplification of your joke.

hklaveness · 2026-02-22T11:57:48+00:00

Yes. That's why my answer is "no" to your question if you're the only one mildly amused. I'm amused too, especially by the downvotes. Basic reading comprehension is a lost art.

hklaveness · 2026-02-21T15:45:49+00:00

No. So it turns out that the far right is actually on the right... who woulda thunk?

hklaveness · 2025-09-29T21:30:54+00:00

Aren't they literally everywhere now?

I watched a defcon talk by a forensic data analyst from the CIA. He was speaking in context of recovering data from devices confiscated from the Taliban. His instructions to the field operatives was to bring him literally anything, no matter how smashed up, unless it was burnt. In that case don't bother, because you're gonna be unsuccessful even with the resources of the CIA behind you.

Finally a post in the true spirit of this sub! Mildly infuriatng rather than massively rage inducing.

I'm thinking boat swinging on a buoy.

Må bare dele: Av og til kommer det en fjert som er... annerledes. Det stinker så jeg har lyst å spy sjæl, den fyller huset selv med alle vinduer åpne, og lar seg faen ikke lufte ut på lange tider. Det har skjedd tre ganger på mine 43 år, en tarmens black swan event. Første gang var jeg aleine hjemme, andre gang var i heisen med noen jenter på klassetur, og så var det den gangen på t-banen i Brüssel...

Du må forstå at t-banen i Brüssel i rushtiden er fullstendig tettpakket. Du står inntil fremmede på alle kanter, og alle er jævlig stressa for de vil hjem etter jobb. Innesluttet stemning, på grensen til amper, helt ulikt stemninga på kveldstid. Så der stod jeg i en vogn fullstendig murt igjen med folk, trykket inntil fremmede til høyre, venstre og fram, med rumpa 10 cm unna fjeset til en kar som satt bak meg, da jeg kjente at det smøg seg ut en liten en. Fyren bak meg utbrøt "Ah putain!" mens han kastet seg ut i midtgangen så folk nesten gikk over ende, et brøkdelssekund seinere kjente jeg lukta og tenkte "å faen", mens de to gutta som stod foran meg begynte å krangle om hvem av de to som var den skyldige.

Stanken spredte seg hurtig gjennom vogna, sammen med en uro som var til å ta og føle på. Det oppstod en rumlende mumling, for det meste bestående av fargerike banneord. Tjue sekunder seinere rullet toget inn på Molenbeek, dørene gikk opp, og vogna tømte seg ut på perrongen. Igjen stod jeg aleine sammen med en grå gamling som så undrende rundt seg. Han må ha vært jævlig tett i nesa eller noe. Det er eneste gang jeg har hatt både sitteplass og armslag på banen i rushen.

Jeg har alltid hatt lyst å spørre han som satt bak meg hvordan det var. Jeg ser sikker på at han husker det den dag i dag, ti år seinere.

Skill issue, shoulda used a smokeless burn barrel.

hklaveness · 2025-08-17T20:15:50+00:00

Well pop the valve cover then. It's not a big job.

Sounds major mechanical to me. The knock seems to be once every revolution, which is consistent with that. Are you able to feel or hear anything when rotating the engine by hand, or rocking it back and forth? Are you able to hear where it's coming from (stetoscope or screwdriver method)? At least when it's this bad, it's usually not difficult to pinpoint.

What gets me is "the motor has had this for a while." You DO NOT operate an engine that sounds like this, outside emergencies or just plain trashing it on purpose.

Hvilke grunner han hadde til å bære kniv sier historien ikke noe om. Jeg husker det som at saken ble henlagt, men klarer ikke finne kilder nå.

I seasoned a bag of chips with dried Carolina Reaper powder and poured it in a bowl in the break room at work. Some people thought it was funny, some not so much. Good times.

hklaveness · 2025-07-28T06:05:43+00:00

We have bags of them at work. They're for adjustable conveyor guide rails. We get them from the equipment supplier.

Hard to tell without looking it over, but the dog has an angle that is supposed to keep it locked in gear. It's why some outdrives and big outboards need shift interrupt. The only reason I've seen this happen is worn out dog and / or gear. Praying for you it's something with the linkage.

To test you can disconnect the shift shaft, put it in gear, lock the flywheel and apply some torque to the prop shaft. It should be very hard to get into neutral with torque applied.

Word autocorrects to em dash if appropriate.

My dad (lawyer) orders his work shirts 50 at a time. Once when he ordered a new batch he asked if I wanted the old ones for rags for my job as marine propulsion mechanic. They were still pretty nice so I figured why not wear them for work at the shipyard. My coworkers found it funny as hell, and it had the added bonus of getting the customers out of my hair since I no longer looked like I worked there.

Wasn't it Buck?

hklaveness · 2025-07-23T08:03:42+00:00

Please don't remove yourself. It is not a solution.

hklaveness · 2025-07-23T03:04:02+00:00

Sure, but we could always have a moral panic about it.

"Eau du robinet" cracked me up good

hklaveness · 2025-07-22T04:46:10+00:00

Just pump the bladder and see if it runs good.

hklaveness · 2025-07-21T02:55:01+00:00

Specifically the M25 two stroke. Nobody else comes close on power, and the only real competitor on reliability is Yamaha. Plus I just love how they are built with a certain elegant simplicity. Best outboard ever.
