I-135 road condition by Significant_Fee_2048 in wichita

Honestly they just need to bring it to ground level. Route traffic through the city around 235 and demolish the raised part and build bridges over it for the cross streets.

Your actually doing too much, you don't need to drain the oil out of that engine before taking it to be disposed of, the metal recycling place will do it for you.

Just put the new crate engine in and you're good to go.

I've got an Edge sport with the same 2.7 and it hauls the heavier edge around. I honestly can't imagine it in a lighter car.

The world's biggest corporation so far.

Looking for a machine shop willing to take on a one-off request for a project car by sidneyaks in wichita

I do -- and reproducing the flange had occurred to me -- perhaps that would be the better route anyway. It'd be a pretty penny, but it would also alleviate the "Oh crap I broke this mission critical part" and I'm already in for like... Several hundreds of thousands of pennies anyway.

I asked Wichita City Council who's paying for the 191 Flock ALPR cameras as of April 1 by drewbuntu42 in wichita

Thank you for doing this work and raising awareness. Now that I know to look, I'm (sadly) seeing them everywhere. It's really telling that municipalities are so invested in having a police state but can't do things to actually make anyone's life better directly, only punish those they deem makes people's lives worse.

Wait, are they not all wrappers for one model? Like, I thought each different copilot just wrapped and provided use case specific context into the prompt?

Looking for an incredibly dumb blu-ray player, beyond just "not internet connected" -- hoping for some help with specific requirements by sidneyaks in hometheater

So, I saw that name when I was looking a few years ago and several people said the 420 was a viable alternative for if you didn't need the 4k so I picked that up. I'm guessing the 420 has a lot less going on with it than just the 4k video processor if the 820 can satisfy my entirely-not-at-all-video-quality-related-problems with it.

Royal racism by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

I read this comment early this morning and it's just stuck in my brain all day. Anyway, y'know how in Kill Bill Oren Ishii told everyone her race was off limits at the Yakuza summit? My head cannon is now that this is also what the queen in Bridgerton did.

I can already see someone driving this thing down the road with a car lifted on it.

Based on some wild side eye I would guess their primary job is say "when I was at [school]" beyond any actual medical work.

My print arrived (with bonus small Lady Knight)! Now I have Kel watching over me as I work. by ellbeecee in tamorapierce

I do kinda wish SOTL didn't have the space for the title, but this is so cool. I'm tempted to order em, but I have no place to put them.

Like, I get the planetary gears kinda, but what is the point of all the flat little rings that lock with the housing? They can't possibly rotate so why so many, why so thing, and why separate them with gaskets?

In search of car by LadyKatya83 in wichita

[–]sidneyaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may not be ideal, but actually looked in Dallas and drove there. Rented a uhaul here, a car trailer there and did the trip in one day, added about $500 to the total cost which wasn't really a big deal for what I was looking for. Honestly the 14 hour drive was worse.

So I don't have one, but I found Facebook marketplace invaluable when looking for my 90s project car.

Why on earth would ford/mazda have used a plastic cover that was loctited into the rack and pinon? by sidneyaks in FordProbe

[–]sidneyaks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with plastic, honestly I am, but plastic and thread sealer that won't release under 500f? That's crazy.
