What I find disturbing is that I knew what I was looking at right away and didn't even flinch.

I just want to know why a fork was being used? Is that proper medical equipment?

Yep.

Btw, Slayer >> All the people in you'r recently posted pics are highly disturbing.
Achilles tendon surgery not so much, even though it's ortho ;)

Aw I see its shape now. At first I thought it was a table fork. Thats why I was a little concerned.

the bossest rc airplane ever

:bowdown:

If only one could squeeze an HD camera in there with some higher quality transceivers. That thing is still awesome!

When you go to a restaurant and order wings, do you get the weaksauce?

The only thing boss about that EDF plane is the camera.

This is kinda boss:


This is HOLY FUCK:

That was a cool jet which probably cost over $10,000 bux... But that video was fucking garbage. "Camera man fainted?" Right..

What was wrong with it, and if nothing was wrong... HOW DO YOU PEOPLE GET THESE? They're selling for 3k average on Craigs here in Charlotte, NC, and thats with at least 100k miles.

Is 100k miles on a MIATA bad? (assuming car was kept in average - not flawless - condition)?

You have to see these on craiglist within an hour of them being put up, or else you lose. I used to check craigslist like 6 times/day. This is how I ended up with a very nice black 99 with a pretty kickass set of konigs and a hardtop for $3500

I missed a 97 M edition one day, it had like 60k miles, factory green hard top, spectacular condition from the pictures, guy had it listed as a "millenium edition". I had check CL like 30 minutes prior and so it couldn't have been on there that long. Another guy beat me to it. Price was $3500, I was LIVID.

Cheapest Miata's I've seen are around 800, though they're usually crap. The cheapest that I've scored was a 93 C-package with 120k on the clock. The guy was driving it and "it just stopped driving about a block away from home, engine was still running, not making any funny noises, etc, but couldn't get it into any gears." I instantly knew the driveshaft had failed, and when I looked under the car, low and behold, the front yoke was laying on the ground under the car. That was $1250, and after I looked at it, I learned the guy bought the car brand new with a hardtop, which I scored for another $450. It had been sitting in his basement since he bought the car and was absolutely flawless.

A $70 used driveshaft later, and it runs like a champ!

(I'm at work, YouTube doesnt work here)

Are you talking about Pablo Francisco? I think he's funny, and the way he meshes in his great sound effect skills with his comedy makes it epic.

That reminds me of when I saw a slammed, almost hellaflush (tasteful THO!) all black Miata that practically looked like a Porsche at some angles. It was selling for like 4-5k and was perfect, but I thought something was horridly wrong with it bc of price. Can't find that listing anymore. .. lol


Great idea tho, i'm gonna start checking Craigs meticulously, maybe I'll find a cheap Miata, thank you for the tip fooger03!



...I wanted to post a thankyou smiley but apparently Miata Turbo.net has a shortage of those, lol.

This will do, :werd:

What are you selling?

I'd guess well over $10k. I'd imagine that one is large enough to fly over residential areas and have some people actually think it was a full size fighter plane flying over. Probably get 911 calls about fighter jets flying at low altitude over houses.

I never stated I was selling anything, but that I saw a sick black Miata on Craigslist one day and gone the next time I checked.

If anything, I'm selling my 2003 automatic Mazda 6i. Who wants it so I can buy myself a Miata?

Donate to the fund! :skid:

Don't say no to the Panda

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1315494850

I draw the line at 200k, and even then I've seen some amazing Miatas with 220k on the clock.

Nothing wrong with the car. Story is here - https://www.miataturbo.net/showpost....postcount=3934

Not always true. This particular car (the $500 one) I contacted the seller on Monday and didn't give him a dime until I saw the car on Saturday. Frankly I didn't feel like getting another Miata so I figured if no one picks it up till Saturday it must be a sign :laugh:

Here's why mine was so cheap:

• It was in bumfuck nowhere and listed in "southern MD" craigslist sub-site (smd.craigslist.org) instead the hugely more popular "washington" site (washingtondc.craigslist.org)
• Not running with description of "whole electrical system needs replacing". I called BS on that because I know the Miata electrical system pretty well and that shit is hard to "kill".
• Without pictures
• Advertised at 250k miles (179k, actually)
• Hurricane was coming

Even better RC action.

Cat is a total puss.

BUT So FLUFFY!!!!

My cat would have enslaved that thing and had it working for him.

PS brain you should get on vent

im still at work homey. 4:30 ET ill be on vent.

Dman i'll be heading to work then :(

get a real job.

I bought my DD miata with 300k on it. So far I have about $700 into the car including the cost of it. I have since put 20k on it and it runs pretty good.

Some local flavor.

Apparently there is only one other person in my neighborhood who has a UPS:

Attachment 240587

Who has a What??




Trying to see if I can break 100gb downloaded in a single 24 hour period. 4 hours and 45 minutes to go.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-y.../s800/goal.jpg

The power is out over all of San Diego county, plus Tijuana, some areas to the north of us, and part of Arizona. Went down two hours ago- pretty major blackout. At the moment, they're blaming the Zonies. It's probably their fault anyway- everything else bad that happens here is.

I have my whole network on a UPS (battery backup aka Uninterruptable Power Supply) and the cable system is still online as well, so I'm able to access teh interwebz from home, and apparently, only one of my neighbors does as well. Normally, the screen I posted is filled with several dozen WiFi networks, but right now it's just me and whoever 2WIRE175 is. (My internet access is really fast right now.)

I've disconnected all non-essential loads from the UPS (down to just the modem and the router) and I've been switching it on only when needed, so I should have plenty of power to last me until tomorrow which, according to SDG&E's webpage, is when power is likely to be restored.

On the plus side, I had the shortest commute home of anyone at the office. The traffic lights are down, so traffic on the main streets is backed up literally from one intersection to the next. But I've been commuting by bicycle for the past few months, so I had a marvelous time riding right past all the gridlocked cars. :D

On the minus side, the reactors at San Onofre were nearing an up-time record, but of course they tripped off when the grid went down (standard operating procedure for any nuclear plant.)

I got a couple of UPS from work. So I will feel awesome like you. But since San Antonio is the farthest west I have ever been, what is a Zonie? Arizonian(ish)? Or some form of illegal hippie mexican immigrant that partakes in green terrorism to torture the man who relies on evil nuclear power? ( I googled the first and made up the second)

A person from Arizona who generally fucks things up for all of us here in SoCal. They invade this place every summer, and drive like Floridians.

Just cooked dinner with an oxy-acetylene torch. Burned my hand in the process.

Oooooooh... That makes sense. I was wondering what a wireless network had to do with UPS but knowing the power is out.... Sucks, hope it comes back up soon.


Ended up buying a large 2000 series APC at a hamfest with bad batteries a few months ago. The unit is large enough it has an external battery source connection on it, so I've replaced the shitty SLA pack with 4 standard 12 volt car batteries. Last power outage was just over 30 hours and only managed to get down to about 87% running my wireless router and cable modem full time, then partially my netbook and some CFLs at my desk.. I highly recommend..

The power goes out so much here I've been considering buying one of these:
http://www.builderconcepthome2010.co..._corepower.jpg

7kW on CNG, automatic startup, and can be had with an automatic transfer switch for right at $2000.00. That should run my HVAC and Fridge, along with a few small lights..

The funny thing is I used to have two UPSes when I lived in FL- a 1500VA unit for the "big" computer, and a 750VA unit for the network and the media server.

About two months ago, the big unit died. At the time, I said "well, the power never goes out here in CA, so fuck it." Still, the little one is doing fine, though with the Media Server powered down, I have no way to monitor its state-of-charge. I also kept the batteries out of the old UPS so I've got a few spares- they use the same connectors as the one in the small UPS and should still be fully charged, and I suppose I could recharge them on the Miata if worst comes to worst.

SDG&E is saying this is going to be a long one. Basically, the entire grid is down in the whole southern part of the state. They got the power back on in Yuma, AZ a little while ago, but SoCal is still completely offline. Apparently, a transmission line in AZ failed, which caused San Onofre to SCRAM. When that happened, the whole grid collapsed.

I live in an apartment, so a genny is out of the question. My family back in FL have several portable units which have served them well over the years. I have one rigged so they can plug it into the dryer outlet and back-feed the house to run the fridge, lights, ceiling fans, etc. Never did rig up a proper transfer switch, so they have to be sure to open the main breaker, but it worked well last year. There haven't been any serious outages so far this year.

And my hand is starting to seriously hurt and blister. After cooking a slice of SPAM, I shut off the torch and set it down while I went to slice a bagel. Intending to toast the now-sliced bagel, I then picked up the torch by the tip, failing to realize that it had been cherry-red just a few second ago.

And my one WiFi neighbor is still up. I feel like this is a contest- which of us will be the last to go offline? I think I'll probably win. :D (I feel like I should probably turn off WEP just to be a nice guy for all the unfortunate suckers who don't have battery backups. But I probably won't.)

Parents have one of those. Works amazing. Our basement floods if we don't have power since our sump pump goes out too. So with that no more floods. Sucks living at the bottom of a hill.

Now just imagine if everyone in CA had these stupid plug in cars... ;)

Can honestly say I've never had to cook anything with gas torches.. That's hard core :)

(CNN) -- It was a dark, windy and rainy night when Per Johansson returned from work to his home in Saro just south of Gothenburg, Sweden.

"It was raining really bad. In the wind I heard something screaming with a very dark voice," Johansson told CNN. "At first I wondered if it was the crazy neighbors, but then I heard it again and went and checked. I saw something really big up in a tree in my neighbors' yard and it was a moose. It must have been drunk after eating fermented apples and as it was reaching out for more fruit it must have slipped and fallen into the tree."

Johansson called the local fire and rescue department, which responded with a fire engine and a jeep with a winch.

"We got the alarm at 9.59 p.m. on September 6 that a moose was stuck in a tree," said Anders Gardhagen, spokesman at the Gothenburg Fire and Rescue Services.

"When we arrived we used the winch to bend down the apple tree so the moose could get himself out of the tree. Once free, the moose collapsed on the ground and fell asleep. So we let him sleep it off and went back home" Gardhagen told CNN.

"Moose are attracted by the apple trees, and in the autumn when the apples have fallen off the trees we normally have at least one of these cases of intoxication. These apples, which ferment in their bellies, aren't part of their natural food, so they can get quite angry from this drunkenness," Gardhagen said.

Johansson's son, Gustav, who is about to turn 11, made sure to take lots of pictures of the ordeal.

"He is saving up to buy a PlayStation so he thought he would take pictures that he could sell," Johansson said.

CNN purchased three of Gustav's pictures.

When dawn came the day after it was freed from the tree, the moose had not yet left.

"When I went out for the newspaper it was still laying there on the ground, sleeping. By the time I left for work it was walking around the neighbor's yard on very shaky legs." Johansson said.

"Today the moose came back and walked around the yard," he added. "I think it likes it here."
