Black tea is a southern staple. If you ask for "tea" at any southern owned establishment, you will receive the following: (if you don't, you are in a yankee venture)
Boil Orange pekoe (generic black tea) in water, strain into 1 gal. glass jar, fill short of neck with cold water, add sugar to taste, shake it up, serve over ice.

Yeah, and I hate sweet tea.

It used to be, in OK at least, if you went into a restaurant and asked for iced tea.........you got normal, delicious tasty UNSWEET iced tea. And because of you sugar foot loving southerners I have to specifically ask for UNSWEET tea.

You look like a man who has so few shits to give that you'd have the same expression on your face as you killed a man with a blade as when you're standing in line at the department of motor vehicles.

Correction: with a dull blade.

hahahah yes! I pulled it down b/c I jumped on the deal on the fly, then digging into the reviews, it appears that this camera may be totally out of this world awesome, or just a victim of fake 5 star reviews. I actually attempted to back out of the order, but it arrives today with free 1 day shipping, so I'll get a better idea of whether I was duped or actually got a great deal.

So, apparently Fidel Castro is dead.

On the one hand, good riddance.

On the other hand, were it not for the Communist revolution in Cuba, I would never have been born.

¡Salud!

So i'm trying to find a momentary button that sticks on to an item. A button that goes through the item is not an option unless its very shallow (8mm tops).

Its for a computer power switch so minimal current will be going through.

Also the mobo will need some sort of itty bitty connector that is likely impossible to find unless you cut it off a PC case

Edit: I'm a god, but have no clue on retailer's veracity

Joe Perez 11-26-2016 03:08 PM

Protip: The Tyco / Amp Mod IV connector series is a perfect match for the headers on PC motherboards and similar devices. They are cheaply available from Digikey, so you can make your own cables.

Damn Joe I didn' know you like to get freaky, I'ma use this info to wire tuck my tower.

So this shit just popped up on my instagram.

https://ecoblockspacer.com/

Made by crawford performance which is a pretty reputable (EDIT: "well known" is definitely a better term) company in the subaru world, but this just seems like some snake oil bullshit. It seems to have been marketed first in indonesia and they're making it for a bunch of makes and models I think.

I'm not crazy right? This seems like a complete fucking scam for a multitude of reasons, especially when their main focus is subarus, which all run dangerously lean from the factory already.

aidandj 11-26-2016 06:54 PM

Sounds scammy to me.

Joe Perez 11-26-2016 06:59 PM

This thing presupposes that the prospective purchaser is not acquainted with the idea of long term fuel trim, and the fundamental concept of closed-loop operation.

Snake oil salesmen have been at it since the 1960s. The technology changes, but the pitch doesn't. Fuel line magnets, gas tank pills, Browns-gas generators, "mod chips" that are nothing but a resistor in a black plastic case...

That was my first thought but I don't like to dismiss things so quickly.
It just seems like anyone who understands engine management would see the issues this would cause but I had to double check and make sure I'm not crazy.

It reminds me of that tornado intake thing they used to sell in the 90's.

Yeah I'm just kind of shocked that such a "reputable/well known" company would try something like this.
It'd be like flyin miata trying to sell it.
