@CrowMS Interesting. Haven't seen anything like this in my research, but it's all been more focused on sti swapping a wrx, so a little different.

[David Fleming @artriguing]

@CrowMS I didn't realize they never offered a manual xt in that gen. At least a wrx ECU shouldn't be too hard to come by, though you may need matching body control unit, cluster, keys and ignition cylinder for the immobilizer.

@dexcooldrinker 3D print (or design and have printed) something similar for the weird ass strikers?

@canadian_rust @cl0udybxtch Did you use any moly grease putting it together?

@suchnerve When I run the numbers for our EV I like to calculate (assuming charging at home) $ power per 100km. Easy to compare to the cost of gas per litre and approx l/100km economy of other cars.

When I worked at a cyber security company, anything like this would be at the least a quick way to a conversation with a very intense security exec.

@TracketPacer When we bought a house I just started running conduit. Cat5e now and real future proofing.

@CeliaBedelia I have Crohn's disease and first got really sick in high school. The teachers and principal were very helpful and accommodating. Made an otherwise very difficult time a bit easier. Nice to hear she's getting support and hope you can work out an effective treatment.

[David Fleming @artriguing]

@cljack This is awesome. Hoping she has some kind of sim rig / cockpit setup at home. If not, might be something to start planning for.

Why would so many people be interested in a young "actress" with no agency, labour controls, or rights?

As a Canadian none of the above for the near term future, and it's looking entirely possible for the rest of my life.

@DexcoolDrinker There's something to being able to wring every last bit of fun out of a car and never really getting into real danger.

[David Fleming @artriguing]

@DexcoolDrinker My family had a Suzuki Aerio (The original Reasonably Priced Car). I kind of hated it, but I could routinely spin the wheels in first and second and I think it's the only car I've ever bounced off the rev limiter.

@Samwitch222 @CantEverDie Oh no... and it gets better. "Ingredients you can actually pronounce" like Erythritol and Xanthan gum. (I mean I can pronounce these, but I'm pretty sure that's supposed to convince me things like that aren't in it.)

This to me is one of the most important images from the Apollo missions, and its something most people outside space circles don't know about, and may not get the significance of.

It shows Pete Conrad standing next to Surveyor 3, an unmanned spacecraft that landed on the Moon in 1967, and in the background can be seen the Apollo 12 lunar module he arrived in in late 1969. One of the objectives of this mission was to demonstrate high accuracy landing - and they managed to put the LM down a short walk from this probe. They recovered material samples from it to study how it had held up after 2 years on the surface.

What this meant was that, in 1969, NASA had the capability to do lunar surface rendezvous missions - i.e. sending multiple payloads to the same site - up to and including other lunar modules. An unmanned LM that removed its ascent engine and propellant could deliver an extra 3 tonnes of cargo - a manned mission landing near to it later would then have that available for a much longer duration mission. NASA indeed began planning this, with 14 day surface time, but the budget was cut before even the first lunar landing.

So this demonstration undermines claims that Apollo was a dead end. It wasn't - the decision to not continue after it was purely political.

I (6') have sat in the 3rd row seats of a Model Y. It feels a lot like this. Potentially useful for kids and dogs, but not much else.

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

Remember when Tesla short sellers said the 3 row Model Y was fake and “proved it” with this diagram?
