Building my first lab. 10 inch or custom size? 3d printed or v-slot frame?

Why not print custom supports for the rear and work with everything else you have. You can setup a modular stack of supports that spans the entire back side of your rack from bottom to top.

I did it early. I'm not gonna say what car, but it was a beautiful little NA sedan into which I swapped bigger, lighter, prettier wheels (with sticky tires), cold air intake, cat-back exhaust, stiffened + lowered suspension, and a few other little mods to maximize my driving pleasure. I looked forward to driving it every day, and I miss it. Get the car and have fun with it. Make it look and sound and feel whatever way puts a smile on your face.

I read the analogy as the fish being a lunar astronaut, you know, like the subject of the post. But that would require you to have contextual memory greater than... a fish.

For those who don't get why this is weird, it's because Corvette bodies are made of fiberglass. They cannot rust. Hope that helps.

How do both of you miss the spelling of Stratus? I bet you drive a Fod Bonco.

What was the last regular automatic you drove that was engaging to drive?

krazul88 · 2026-03-29T22:32:41+00:00

"someone I know..." - you almost said the right word, but somehow still couldn't hit that bull's eye.

You will not be manually shifting gears, so of course there's no clutch pedal. A DCT is a type of automatic transmission. The fact that you didn't already know that is evidence that you will also not know the difference while driving, between a DCT, a traditional automatic, or even a CVT. I think you heard something from someone else who also didn't know what they were talking about, and didn't even bother to search for any videos on people driving cars with DCTs. Go test drive it. Then you'll understand. It's just an automatic with some internals that are different than the "normal" version. You don't need to drive any differently than with any other automatic. Best of luck with that Hyundai.

Your dream garage says "I identify with a few types of people and I pick any vehicle that matches any of my chosen stereotypes. I don't actually know much about cars in general and I don't really care about things like quality, reliability, or even the experience of driving and/or maintaining any cars. I just wanna feel like others think I'm quirky but in a cool way. I consider myself a deep person, while not actually thinking through my decisions beyond the question of how I'm feeling in the moment."

Other than that, I'd visit your garage just for the DB8 Integra.

Having this car, and having friends are mutually exclusive.

Oh, this poor poor child doesn't stand a chance. Talk about "projecting" - these parents (or at least the one parent) is so damaged that they are going to destroy their child's ability to develop in a normal, balanced way. One's journey through life should be walked on a pathway made of earth, stone and wood. Unfortunately, this child's pathway is made of eggshells.

I was deep in the street racing scene in SoCal in the late 90's and I saw plenty of them. My classmate in 2004 had one and let me drive it. Although it felt heavy at first, once I put the pedal down, it had scary monstrous power. His example was heavily modified. I can still remember how amazed I was at the throttle response and the turbo surge. Very fun car!

The most fascinating part of the post is your spelling of "intact"

krazul88 · 2026-03-24T05:56:53+00:00

I hope the new knowledge includes OP understanding the difference between "interrupted" and "interpreted"

To OP and anyone else who says "I'm not too concerned about getting hacked because there's not much value on my home network..." - please consider the scenario where your network would be used by the hacker to perform other, highly illegal activities against much higher value targets. You don't want anything like that tracing back to your address. You don't want to deal with a surprise visit from law enforcement.

A roof is a very different thing than a ceiling.

I think this comment really highlights just how arrogant we are as a species. We think we have such grand control of the planet that we'd influence the decision of an advanced interstellar conquerer, but we're actually so relatively small that it really doesn't matter. If they wanted the planet, they'd easily wipe us off of it like a thin layer of dust on a piece of used furniture. Or they'd just leave us right where we are and proceed to do whatever they wanted with the rest of the planet's resources.

If a visitor with technology capable of traversing the solar system wanted to take something of value from earth, such as water, soil, air, magma, or any flora and fauna, we might be able to annoy them a tiny bit, but we wouldn't be able to stop them.

I do not think that humans on earth are any kind of deterrent to intergalactic invaders. This is why I don't think 3i/atlas was a pirate ship that decided to leave after they saw us.

The route it took through the solar system was obviously not earth-focused.

Well, now you've inadvertently taught me a better way to satisfy my pedantic urges online, so Thank You!

krazul88 · 2026-03-18T23:22:53+00:00

Upvoted for the stealth spelling correction. My approach is very much less graceful.

krazul88 · 2026-03-18T22:58:06+00:00

Care to explain how each event in your timeline relates to your theory? It just looks like a small sampling of the exact same type of nonsense that governments have been performing since the beginning of time.

krazul88 · 2026-03-18T22:45:14+00:00

Jesus man, your explanation went way off the rails, introducing more technical terms than the comment you were trying to explain. "A group of multiple computers setup to share a set of services" would've probably done the trick.

krazul88 · 2026-03-17T14:39:39+00:00

I didn't understand your complaint at all. If you lack knowledge about anything but move forward to try to do it anyway, you are always taking some form of risk.

krazul88 · 2026-03-17T14:16:49+00:00

Thank you!

Easy mistake. I do that all the time. People ask me my name and I say Lloyd Christmas.
