God damn, that crap takes forever!

How about something that doesn't waist hour thyme?




PS sorry about everyone's jobs, hope our robot overlords are merciful...

Heat shielding temp measurements to share after fully hot (yes, in portrait mode because I wasn't thinking clearly).

Emissivity.
On the shiny parts you are effectively measuring the reflected temp of the surroundings, not the actual temp on the face of your heat shield. Shiny metal = IR mirror.

Found a ride for 2017. 5 liter class.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c695530c36.jpg

Needs engine rebuilt, body work, put back together and paint.

I did not know the rapper E-40 had a boat.

I know haha.
Lady Dragonmead, the boat is also named after a local brewery.

I cannot believe we missed this artwork from Skou's re-route spacer thread,

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...26c350e784.jpg

I am oddly aroused by that. I kinda reminds me of the Baja Beetles that were so common in the 70s and 80s, mostly because doing such a conversion was the cheapest way to repair a bug that was otherwise totaled from a front or rear collision.


It won't be long before someone combines this

Saw a new civic si hatchback today. Holy shit, if you think the Prius rear end is ugly, you gotta see this thing in person. I nearly barfed on my steering wheel. It looks like psychedelic robots designed it.

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e8de13b1d1.jpg

But your last statement makes it sound awesome... It's hideous though.

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...83f58992ea.jpg

Not nearly as ugly as the front end of it, assuming we're talking about the 2017 model. When I was buying a Camry a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't help but make a couple of wisecracks about the thing as it was sitting there in the showroom looking at me, within earshot of a young homosexual couple who were there looking at it.

Do you know how hard it is to visibly raise the ire of a car salesman while you're in the process of buying a car from him? I managed to pull it off.

Honestly, I assumed the damn thing was a Scion when I first saw it.

See what you made me do? You made me post ponies.

I hope you're happy with yourself now.

Not sure if want:

Yours truly would still use jackstands under it because it looks flimsy. If using jackstands then might as well use a jack. :2cents:

GC, that was an enjoyable read. Thanks

I'd love an actually decent scissor-jack in my garage.

To make lowering the tire pressure of your MB easier?

I have been thinking really hard about getting this for my rallyx Miata, just because!

I'd never heard of those, or seen that phenomenon. Pretty friggin' cool.



I ran across a refreshingly honest piece of software documentation earlier today:

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...4fa01dbf32.png

Haha.

*unhappy with Tieline tables*
*gives up, deletes Tieline tables*
*clicks "Create new table", enters "Tieline" in name field*

"A table with that name already exists. Please choose another name or cancel."

I don't care for the p.note style in their CSS.

EDIT: That laziness looks like straight text not a style. Some software guy wrote that not a TW.

It's from a PDF document which I doubt originated in HTML: Gate Keeper | Grass Valley, a Belden Brand


The town of Grass Valley, CA:

Dude, I'm just glad when someone, ANYONE bothers to write documentation. :facepalm:

I know someone who is from a place very near Grass Valley. He refers to it as "a good place to be from." His emphasis, not mine. ;)

I'm guessing he doesn't work for GV.

Not my favorite flavor, but quite enjoyable.

This is good too:

I can't get enough of this cover:

No, no want. What if your car isn't exactly that wide? What if there aren't good jack points under those areas where it does fall? What keeps that flimsy POS from dumping your car on its nose or tail or owner?

Until I can afford something that doesn't resemble that mess, I'm good with two floor jacks and four jack stands. It's probably faster this way anyway, and it's damn sure safer, princess!

Also, Chrome is being a pain in the ass lately and trying to put nearly everything I link to behind https. WTF Chrome?

Anyone else follow The Onion?
Me laughs at dis.

I wanna play this game...



and the original:

We all use XML/DITA based word publishing programs for real documentation. At my previous jobs using MadCap Flare, I could use one CSS to for multiple outputs to display the content in HTML5, PDF, Mobile, eBook, etc.

Now that I started with NetSuite (well we became Oracle NetSuite Jan 1), I'll be using LightCMS (to document.....LightCMS) and ArborText, Perforce as a CMS.

When I was at Harris, we used Word.

Well, that plus Illustrator and Acrobat.

Old school.

new prius looks good in gray.

The new Prius doesn't look good in anything.



Got a new air conditioner delivered today:

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...da87ab5ac0.png

Just a little standalone unit for two rooms we're building in what used to be garage-type space in the building. Been unused since we built the new garage a few years ago.

(this is my girlfriend's little blind dog, and me)

So I bought time-lapse camera and wanted to share the first pour we shot with you guys. I figured it's a different approach at typical construction marketing and our customer's love the idea and all want copies. Next I'll be recording the construction of a 9000sqft house we just started. Should be a good video showing the entire process of 16' high basement walls from start to finish.



HD setting should be turned on for best results.

Took us 2 weeks to prep the rebar and forms for this massive equipment pad and yesterday we covered it all up with concrete. 270 total yards put down and finished right before dark. The double rainbow was a sign that the chaotic day it may had been, went well. Everyone's happy and now we start forming up the 2nd half.

I may have been drinking this evening, but that is fucking cool. :likecat:. Thanks Vash! What are you using for a camera?

Also, I feel like someday I'm going to end up being James May.



Or maybe I just hope I'll end up being James May.

i think you missed the joke, my comment was in reply to sixshooter's pic.

The joke was that a Pontiac Vibe with a camper shell built out of bondo with a house door on it looks like a Prius?


https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...378c4d5a7e.png

pretty much yeah. i actually thought that was an Aztec...

the new Prius took over as worlds ugliest car, and 2nd and third place at the same time.

mmmm...Aztec...looks better than a vibe
