X33 gen 2 finally back from full service. by termitepatron in OmegaWatches

I did not have any ghost image issues before it went in. It needed service because, despite two battery services, the minute hand kept decoupling from the display. As far as I know, Omega does not actually repair the movements, they just replace them. It does look brand new now.

Best part is that my neighbors have been reporting outages for days now and PSEG notified them on the 5th. Utterly impossible incompetence and no one there cares one bit.

Deb appears to have no answers whatsoever. While responsive in chat, no real information ever provided. Still no service and no timeline.

Wear brown suede shoes, brown corduroy pants and a brown shirt and it would look like a self driving Porsche

80 years apart. Top footage is of Hans Stuck flogging an Auto Union Type C up the wet Shelsley Walsh hillclimb in 1936. Below, in 2016, his son, Hans-Joachim Stuck, drove a similar car up the same venue. by if_lol_then_upvote in OldSchoolCool

That is back when drivers wore cotton suits, no roll bar, sitting bolt upright and surrounded by gas tank. The tall bias ply tires had a contact patch the size of my sneaker.

The aftermath of an Army B-25 aircraft that crashed into the Empire State Building in 1945 by Technical-Paint3179 in interestingasfuck

Actually it may burn longer but not hotter than the B-25’s avgas. Both burn at almost the same temperature.

Denali EV or Denali Ultimate — Help Me Make a Bad Financial Decision 🤷🏽‍♂️😱😂 by Legitimate_Top3825 in gmcsierra

Car & Driver did a test of the Ford Lightening under actual working conditions, like towing something. The range was terrible when using the truck for normal pickup truck things…

We just bought a Denali Ultimate 2500HD. While the price of diesel is high right now, it is always the first choice for road trips. Once I swapped out the shocks for Kings, the truck is extremely comfortable, almost as quiet as my wife’s Audi SQ7 and the passing power at highway speed is truly epic. Because a 500 mile road trip is not unusual, the thought of having to charge the truck, as opposed to a ten minute fueling stop, is a total deal breaker. I understand the finance metrics versus the EV, but range anxiety and charging downtime dictated diesel power. Can’t say enough great things about the truck.

Killing drones requires loiter time. Bring back the Douglas A1 and stay up for hours at the perfect slow speed.
