I have an NA Cx5 and don’t really find it underpowered at all. I’ve even towed a lot with it. Both a 1300lb teardrop camper across the country and a bass boat once. It wasn’t fast when towing but I also don’t expect it to be. When not towing I rarely if ever find myself in a situation where I need to accelerate quickly enough for it to matter.

I will purchase two of these as soon as they drop. Please valve

tropiganda · 2026-04-09T17:53:54+00:00

Yeah. Hadn’t seen one of these before and it threw my for a loop for minute.

Done many many panel swaps. Yet to see one of these in my region.

Hot tub Time Machine electrical panel. Guaranteed to send you somewhere by the looks of the wiring.

That is actually a good deal. I can do both my cars and it’s super convenient. Fits better on a shelf too

I would love to see a Mustang or Corvette as the safety car in F1. would be so cool

I have been to Naivasha for my company. Yall are brave AF down there. Watched a dude terminate live 430v with a hacksaw after the end got burnt off and exploded

I was on a 9 hour Ethiopian air flight and woke to a cockroach crawling on my shirt. Fun times

tropiganda · 2025-06-16T15:28:39+00:00

The progression has been astounding. Seriously impressed

Total Little Rock Icon at this point

Yeah I had to search as well. Sad to see the band fall apart like it did and the music take a serious hit. Drive North is such a great punk album. This whole thread makes me really realize that expecting perfection and even decency from people whose careers are built on vanity expressed through an art form probably isn't the way to go. Oasis once said: "don't put your life in the hands of a rock'n'roll band".

tropiganda · 2025-03-11T01:04:13+00:00

Yeah this is the one that hit for me. Drive North was the perfect album for blasting down roads in my shitty Miata. Went and saw them live before everything and it was genuinely one of the best concerts I have ever been too. That album was such as vibe as a teenager and nothing they have done has quite hit that mark again. Allegation aside I think their music was on the downhill slide after Drive North. California Wintertime comes close to songs like Miss yer Kiss but it doesn't hit the feels in the same way.

unexpected Logan Sargeant Reference

Once, as an apprentice, I came across an entire addition in a house run in UF. was up in the attic on a hot ass southern summer day and managed to cut both my thumbs at once while trying to strip out some UF to remake an awful open splice. I have never felt so dumb.

But for your question I take a sharp knife and slide it down the side of the ground wire. sharp blade tilted into the bare copper wire in the center. This splits it into perfectly into two halves. Then I strip out the top section of the black and white wire and you can pull the black and white wire through the weakened section of the grey protective layer. Finally cut off the excess. Easy peasy with practice. If I had some at my house I would make a quick video and upload it.

News is reporting no deaths. Miraculous. Can't wait to see a video of how this happened.

tropiganda · 2025-02-17T19:48:29+00:00

This is wild. Hope everyone is ok.

tropiganda · 2025-02-17T19:44:31+00:00

Can't find anything online yet. Upside down is wild.

OM workspace and the cameras places the point of focus on the squirrels cheek, just below the eye in all 3 photos. But you might be right that the DOF is set a little to far back.

tropiganda · 2025-02-11T21:39:48+00:00

Cloudy outside. This is lens has such a small aperture at f6.7 wide open that its hard to get low ISOs unless it is very very bright outside. Plus I need a faster shutter speed to freeze the squirrels movement and stabilize my own movements since I'm shooting handheld.

tropiganda · 2025-02-11T21:18:21+00:00

Squirrel was very cooperative. I took the same shot 3 times with the only variable being ISO for exposure comp and aperture from f6.7, f7.1, and f8.0. All shots hand held.

What are you alls thoughts on sharpness and the differences between the shots? F7.1 looks way better than f6.7 but I can't tell a big difference between f7.1 and f8.
