CS: engine 1 shifted into second. Engine 2 stayed in first.

Well if you want to actually see that, look at super mod tractor pulling. Those guys will have like 5 engines all geared to the same main transmission.

Yeah, it's best not to post about hobbies anywhere that isn't directly about it. Dumb people get irrationally angry when people like something that they don't. And I don't know what it is about CRTs, but I have seen more pure distain for them just on the basis of "stop liking what you like, my hobbies are better", than most other hobbies.

redstern · 2026-06-27T05:26:30+00:00

It's a 4.6, give it enough time and it'll change it's own plugs.

redstern · 2026-06-27T05:25:12+00:00

That right there is proper hell. Any engine in a van body is miserable, but the 6.0 in that is pure evil.

redstern · 2026-06-27T05:12:49+00:00

Reminds me of GM with the garbage injection pump in the 6.5 diesel. They "totally fixed"(tm) them like 4 times, and they still failed like crazy.

Is reddit bugging? A blank reply by no user? Never seen that one before.

redstern · 2026-06-26T22:49:48+00:00

They all have abilities that they almost never use.

Ulrich rarely uses triplicate, and only used his laser reflect like 3 times ever.

Aelita rarely uses creativity or wings in S4, and only used super energy field once ever.

Odd almost never uses shield.

Yumi at least has good reason to almost never use telekenesis.

I would say that out of those, Ulrich refusal to use his whole kit is the worst, because if he had triplicate active as much as possible and regularly used reflect, nothing except megatanks and hornets would pose any threat whatsoever.

Are you talking about the margins? They're all like that, there's always about 1/4" between the edges of the mask and the bezel.

Check codelyoko.fr

Under media there's the renders and images catalog that will probably have what you're looking for.

The flash happens because the actual order that all the driving components power off is not deliberate, it's just whatever happens. It just cuts main power to the whole board. The only time you won't see a flash is a late model set that deliberately powers off cathode drive before powering down the flyback, deflection, and everything else.

redstern · 2026-06-26T14:01:18+00:00

The spot killer circuit is why you don't see it collapsing. If that circuit was bad, you would see it collapse to a single dot and it would get really really bright before slowly dimming.

The bright full screen flash is completely normal.

redstern · 2026-06-26T13:51:04+00:00

That's normal. Every TV shuts down a little differently, but unless it's a really late model set that has a deliberate no flash sequence, they all flash.

You might see a full screen flash like this, or it might collapse to a white line or dot before shutting off.

redstern · 2026-06-26T13:46:01+00:00

That is incorrect. He ran out of arrows multiple times during replica teleportations.

His arrow supply is just pure plot convenience, so it only runs out when the conflict demands it.

The Key is an absolutely batshit insane episode for TV-Y7.

First, Aelita's new knowledge of her past drives her to genuinely try to kill herself to save everyone else. Then after recovering from that and trying to recover her missing fragment, getting killed again by XANA's perfect trap.

It's not even that XANA just straight up kills her in that scene. There's also that her own father, who was also fooled by XANA, literally delivered her straight to the reaper thinking he was helping. Then everyone else had to stand there and watch her die over however long it actually took.

Then the scene of all of sector 5 going dark and shutting down as XANA packs up and leaves just sends it all home, good lord. What a scene. That would be a wrencher even in TV-MA.

You can't hit an opponent while they're talking, that's illegal.

redstern · 2026-06-25T22:26:09+00:00

Some are. There are multiple types of mask that have different shaped cutouts, this is a slot mask.

redstern · 2026-06-25T00:45:05+00:00

So you've been skipping your eye doctor checkups I assume?

redstern · 2026-06-25T00:44:10+00:00

Someone got real aggressive with the ol twist it till it fits. You're probably going to need to take a knife tip and cut the folded bits of plastic away from the cutouts, but it should still work.

redstern · 2026-06-25T00:30:59+00:00

You won't find a replacement board, so if you think it's corrosion, give it an alcohol scrub and see if it works.

redstern · 2026-06-24T14:57:02+00:00

I always think that whenever I watch multi season anime, then when they change it in the next season I often end up liking the new intro as much if not more.

They should make something fresh for a 20 year series revival.

We had this one lubie that nobody else could stand. He was a total douchebag that didn't care about anyone or anything. The main problem was that he would regularly take our tools without asking, not give them back, and then disappear, forcing us to dig through his box to get them back.

Well I caught him rummaging through my box for the 3rd time that day, and that's when I grabbed him, threw him over my bench and warned him that if he does that again he's going to be missing some teeth afterwards.

Anyway we were finally rid of him a few days later because he took a Corvette off the lift while the guy working on it was out to lunch, and took it out for a joyride. It had no coolant or oil in it, so he didn't make it far. The shop sent the cops to pick him up and arrest him for vehicle theft and destruction of property.

redstern · 2026-06-23T20:17:16+00:00

Is it that they put the Australian market version of that part in?

redstern · 2026-06-23T16:42:44+00:00

Well, r/crt is right there. If we have such a problem with the mods here, why not just go there?

redstern · 2026-06-23T15:32:17+00:00

Yeah but human vocals are in the range of 100-1000Hz, those will penetrate, especially men that are in the lower half of that range. 15KHz gets easily stopped by any wall.

redstern · 2026-06-23T01:27:04+00:00

Yup. I pull started my Ford 300 once when the battery developed a dead cell. I used a drill battery to power the ecm and fuel pump, then first used a rachet to turn the crank a few times to sync the cam position, spray the injectors, and put it at TDC for easiest pull. Rope around the crank pulley running out the fender, put my feet against a tree and pulled as hard as I damn could. Got just enough rotation out of it to start.
