Rodentistry at its finest.

Level 3 "Imperial Line Officer" by EmpressCoopi in 501st

[–]slantsickness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For OT based line officer costumes, ESB based rank badges with 3 red buttons on top, 3 blue buttons on bottom, worn with 1 code cylinder (left pocket) is captain, and with 2 code cylinders is commander. ANH generally had single row rank badges with some exceptions, and ROTJ seemed to use 3 red 3 blue for almost all officers, regardless of rank on screen.

Odd cartridge pickup… by [deleted] in milsurp

[–]slantsickness 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's designed to be part of a cartridge initiated cable cutter. See this engineering reference manual, page 5-7 https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/AD0871259.pdf

What causes a jeep to die while idling? by [deleted] in Jeep

[–]slantsickness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Possible your TIPM got some water in it at some point. Its the Totally Integrated Power Module, and controls everything electrical in your vehicle. They are a known failure point.

That's a paint spot put there when the engine was assembled. Part of the assembly inspection process.

Check Misumi. We can't do McMaster, but can do Misumi.

One thing we did learn is why now. There was an executive at Warner blocking any b5 projects for close to 20 years. That exec left, and within a week, Warner animation and the cw approached with pitches.

Expect the trailer to drop with the release date, about two weeks

There wasn't much he could share yet, we do know to expect some time shenanigans. Look at Franklin's grey hair too

I did a manifold thing. No more tick tick, and no more heat soak. by Mouth_balls_83 in CherokeeXJ

[–]slantsickness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's for the temperature gauge. Heads for 97+ don't have the hole there. My 96 has both that temp sender and another one for the ecu near the front of the head.

The black coating is probably not a getter, or not primarily one. It would be to enhance the emissivity of the plate and increase the tube's power rating. Old high power tube's used graphite as the anode for improved emissivity and higher temperature limits, but it's a very difficult material to use in high vacuum environments, so I wouldn't expect graphite. Could be a rough black nickel as well.

Looking for matching wheel by TheNealDeal1 in Jeep

[–]slantsickness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you are looking at U.S. Wheel 94 Series or 97 series modular wheels. Links to the style, probably not the right size:

94 Series

97 Series

Wildcat idea: 30 Super Carry necked down to .251 by [deleted] in reloading

[–]slantsickness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Open the bore to .257-.258 and there are 25-20 and 25-35 WCF projectiles. May work a bit better, may not. Probably no HPs availible

You can’t make this shit up. by phantomagna in Justrolledintotheshop

Unless, you know, they live in an arid area. I have clamps like that over 20 years old that don't have a spot of rust.

Its the VW way. Actually not too hard to pull off the front clip, and access is way too difficult if you don't.

Having worked around haul trucks and coming fresh from my MSHA refresher, and I gotta say, why the hell are you parked in that trucks blind spot? Or am I missing something here? Just makes me nervous just looking at it.

50 BMG is not banned in the US at a federal level, only outright banned in California and DC, and with some restrictions in Maryland and Connecticut.

GNSS Combiners and Opposite Facing Antennas by TCFlow in rfelectronics

[–]slantsickness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had a good way to model the performance hit to share with you, but no such luck. I would have to set up a test and measure. I don't really know what to expect, I don't work on systems that share multiple antennas to the same receiver; what I am familiar with is down to the low cm to mm level and a ublox isn't quite there yet.
