Why do people NEED paid time off? Why do these companies and corporations pay you guys to take the time off? Say you want to take a 2 week vacation somewhere nice, why should Joe Blow Corp. pay you to? You feel sick and need to stay home for a day or two, why should you get paid for that? Not trying to dog anyone really, I just think its part of the "lazy American" persona that Remind me how much of the US lives paycheck to paycheck? It's a ridiculously large amount that I forgot offhand. "Paid" vacation is the same as unpaid, "paid" merely uses accounting tricks to help out people who can't budget well. This is also why so many places allow you to "cash in" unused "paid" vacation, btw. "Paid" vacation is merely part of your compensation package, the same as your salary or health care or whatever. |
You were raised differently.
I was raised to believe that happy employees perform better and work harder than disgruntled employees that are whipped and told they cannot take time off. Shit, look at all the people who outright rejected public sector offers to take voluntary furlough days. What do you get when you refuse to let people have a paid day off? Labor strikes. |
Paid vacation is teh win.
But seriously, as mentioned it's part of that balance of keeping your employees happy. And most anyone who gets paid vacation also doesn't get paid paid when they have to stay late. Obviously the method works. Yeah, 30 days per year is pretty nice. |
Anybody ever dealt with large power inverters for car/truck use? I'm speaking 2000W+, hard wire in, not shitty cigarette lighter plug in ones. I'm needing one, and am currently looking at this Tripp-Lite model, 3000W continuous.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812120291 I've always had good luck with that brand for other things power supply related. Anybody have a better suggestion, maybe for less? Also, any advice for connecting one of those beasts to the battery? I guess just a terminal with an accessory stud and nut would be enough to handle that draw? This side of electrical always leaves me second guessing myself. |

So wait do you now have 3 different MS? You have the mspnp in your track car, your Reverent built built MS2, and now this one? I say you put the new one on the bench, then slowly acquire the parts to make it work with ms3x.

We have really documented the MS3x because it's so simple and we are the 1%.
and I'm really lazy. I can hold your hand when you buy your ms3 cpu, ms3x card, and new case. |

Are there any simple, short books you recommend that will teach me the basics? I have a very rough understanding of how sensors work, but I don't understand some very simple things. Here is a list that will demonstrate my extreme ignorance:
Tuning stuff I need to learn fast for MS2 on Jeff's car:
I'm pretty excited about learning this stuff, maybe more excited about building something than tracking my car this year. |
^^Why is this in the ramble thread? I will probably use it when I go MS3, but I don't want to search for ever in this thread for it.

$500 to up-convert to MS3x...that will have to wait a little while.

We have to change it because the position of things like the TPS, tach out, fuel pump are in different locations between the two model years 90-93 and 94-95, but for the most part are the same. I have a diagram for each that shows the pinouts and where the changes need to be made for each. The MS [should] controls the fuel pump in both instances, but the 90-93 required trickery in order to make it work correctly. I'm assuming the harness you picked up has a dangling pink wire. This will simply get moved onto the harness and will trigger the fuel pump on without anything special to be done. Unknown unknowns |

This is outlined in the maunal as well, stupid easy on the MS3x card where the input circuits are ready and able to input signals: http://msextra.com/doc/ms3/speedgear.html It can also input vairous Generic sensors: http://msextra.com/doc/ms3/genericsensors.html They amplify a signal and provide tons of electricity respectively. 2 + 2 sometimes = 5 Storks Only a few wires need to move around.

yeah, the Ms3 maunal: http://msextra.com/doc/index.html#ms3 is full of pretty pictures. |

oh. yeah those extra things.
depending on how much is going in/out of the ms3x, the pigtail might be over kill. You can get the $5 colder cup and some wire and save a good chunk of change if you dont care about labeled/color coded wires. jimstim I guess is needed, I forgot you dont have one. |

I would start with the Jimstim and power adapter. This way you can learn to solder on something. Then you can hook it to your spare MS and play around with it all off the car and make sure everything works.

^ I dont get it.
