Having been playing BattleGrounds more frequently... I found this pretty hilarious.



The channel also has a number of other short videos. More PUBG related, also NPC man which is pretty good too. :bigtu:

It's on Facebook. Can't figure out how to link from my phone so I'll have to try next time I'm on a computer. It's a cell video of the video being played back on a laptop so the quality is kinda crap. Looks like a red car spun in front of the firebird. The firebird braked hard and she ran straight into it

imma show this to my hoa and see if I can get them to remove our speed humps now. safety reasons.

The videos people are doing are hilarious. So much good content from one game

Been waiting on this sum bitch for the past 2 years. Finally happened.

Lost it on the Dolly-llama.

Had a hiccup today at the plant. Got called in on my day off 9am.
Things were running hard, full capacity. Sudden power outage, we lost everything. Some things came back online instantly, mostly LEDs and some other random things. But it was spotty, some things that were on the same transformer(we have 3 mains transformers) would be on while others would not. I go around checking power and find some strange stuff. Anywhere from 20v to 220v on 3 phase lines, single phased badly. Some step down transformers were working some weren't. The smell in the air, some of you know it, the burnt electrical smell. It was everywhere. Once i started seeing all the bad power i made the call to kill everything. Production was sent home and all the power turned off off.(cue $5,000 an hour downtime) Called our electric provider and get them en-route, (service tickets with DTE are a nightmare(and to think our electricity bill went up $30,000 last month, that should tell you how much power we use)).
I took this photo of one of my transformers. At one point it was 265F. Thank god it's iron core.

DTE finally shows up a few hours later. This is the 13200v main out by the street:

This explains the smell.

We ended up blowing about 30 3 phase fuses, 5 480v motors, few computers lost their lives. Everything else did okay. Our provider rigged up some type of fix. They will be out sunday to replace the smoked undersized transformer.

That's one of my biggest fears.

We have two separate distribution feeds coming into the station, from two providers. I don't want to talk about how much that costs.

The mains switching system is older than I am. So is the generator and its transfer switch. Actually, the mains switch is probably older than all but a few of the people who work here.

We take in 12.6 kV, slam it down to 480, and pass it through 3,000A fuses. The genny is 1.5 MW. I don't even know the rating of the UPS, but its batteries occupy a whole room on the 1st floor.

Attachment 237023
(This is about 2/3 of the batteries.)

The UPS and its wiring are pretty clean. The rest of it scares me.

Fix the flat tire.

That's some nice signage.

Here are a few photos of a Chihuahua furiously humping, well, I'm not sure what Calliope is, she's just a very large, very old dog.

Yes, Squeakers is wearing a diaper. He has issues.

No, Calliope does not care. She's resigned herself to this.

Diaper or a belly band? We use the belly bands a lot on male foster dogs who think our house is now theirs.

Impressive - illustrates how much air the larger turbos draw in, that turbo REALLY SUCKS!

Finally found a picture of the genny, with myself for scale.


https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1fc26b9d0c.png

Behold, cast thy gaze upon my turbos and thou wilt see that they are larger than thine own turbos. (Except possibly SixShooter.)

Maybe this should be in the political thread but this is exactly the way I look at it, like WTF?!?

This is like the 3rd or 14th time I've watched this.

The level of realism (accuracy, detail, precision) in how all of the body panels and mechanical parts deform and interact during the slow-motion sequences is impressive. I am kinda mind-blown just trying to imagine the amount of data that went into describing the properties of each individual material, its fastening points and fasteners, etc.

bro, you melted away!

This is the largest one I've actually handled recently.

I've actually put a few lbs back on since that photo. All this damn gourmet cuisine... And I've got reservations for this weekend at both Louisiana Purchase and The Artisan in Banner Elk NC.

C'est moi, translating equine upper respiratory tract surgery.

Took a couple a days off from the TV show to go back to horses.
I miss them horses.

Motion to nominate Commie as the offcial Miataturbo.net most interesting man in the World.

Second!

After two solid days of calibration and adjustment, this is one of the sexiest screenshots I have ever captured:

Matched TO THE MOTHERFUCKING WATT!

Looks photo shopped :rofl:

FTFY :giggle:

Haha. That transmitter was built in 2000, using an embedded controller of mid 90s vintage. The exciters have both been upgraded, but the main body of it is all original.


And because this is the random pictures thread, robocat:

Your instruments are probably broken.


Can a mechanical engineer explain to me why this AC compressor bracket needs 6 bolts to hold it into the block? And why they needed to put one of them directly between the compressor and the bracket?


https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a7eab1e1dc.jpg

The original design probably wasn't castable, so the manufacturing engineer made us redesign it to put the bolt in the middle.

Edit: Thought you meant the one pictured.

Because these damn engines vibrate like hell.

I just spent two days and $12k having them calibrated. This is the first time in years I've trusted what they're telling me.


I can tell you that if you don't install one of the front bolts, engine oil will start leaking out from the seam between the oil pump and the block.

My guess is the thing had issues with stiffness so they kept adding attachment points and mass to shift natural frequencies of the mounting structure to a point where resonance vibration responses wouldn't kill the compressor prematurely.

Disappointed reflected power not also equal.

^ LMFAO

Three 6.9 kilowatt amplifiers feeding a three-way combiner at 500Mhz. I ain't too upset about one watt difference in what's coming back, especially since the average reflection is about 0.1%. :giggle:

Someone's always a critic.:giggle:
