I'm still going to be checking in here, but Bluesky is my preferred platform now. If you're there, let me know your username. I'm https://t.co/lxtfOfGF0g there.

I'm also salguod on Instagram and Threads, but don't use them as much.

@BethMooreLPM You are one of the people I come back here to read. I mostly hang out on Bluesky these days, but few people of faith I followed are there.

I do two things to make this place tolerable.

1 - only visit the following tab.
2 - only read the replies occasionally.

@Thecarhoarder Either 35 or 25.

@Neondancer @AutoPap Chauffeured in the back seat of a friend's Ford Tempo.

@PluginHyBrad McMaster is the gold standard for parts ordering. Fantastic, easy to navigate site, just not car parts. Nothing else comes close.

[Doug Schaefer @salguod]

@CarGuyDad Can confirm, 986 ownership is a joy. Surprisingly reliable, but the Porsche parts tax is real.

@JeffMG68 I love 'em. They should have been hatchbacks, though. And came with T-Tops.

@JeffMG68 First time I've seen an on vehicle rotor turning in action.

@jcorriv35 My 2001 Tundra has 346K and is still on engine, transmission and transfer case #1.

It is on frame #2, though. 😄

Then you go to the HP support site and there are 3 different versions of the driver (+ HP Smart) with no explanation of why you would choose one over the other. Terrible and has been for years.

[Doug Schaefer @salguod]

I will never buy another @HP printer. Not only does mine repeatedly lose scan to PC functionality, my parents just bought one. Windows failed to install it, but the HP "Smart" app can't figure that out and won't help install it. It shows it, but it's not actually installed.

WHAT CAR DID YOU LEARN TO DRIVE STICK IN?

[Doug Schaefer @salguod]

@boring_cars I've already seen on Bluesky, but I won't spoil it for the Twitterites. 😂

@CoreyLewis86 Your Eldorado series is 75 posts now? That's commitment!

[Ameen @Ameen_HGA]

What I see from some of these extreme Christian Nationalists is the pursuit of the way of empire NOT the way of Christ/Kingdom. I don’t see Jesus seeking to advance The Gospel by overthrowing the empire in order to install a Xian emperor. We saw The Gospel working in its midst..

@_baldtires I've done a lot of consumer products with flowing surfaces in Creo and it's hard to get right. And that's not auto Class A work, which is another level. Kudos to you for taking this on.

[Doug Schaefer @salguod]

@_baldtires I've used Creo/ProE, Solidworks and Catia. Catia is probably the best for surfacing, especially Class A, but I've got much more experience with Creo and would much prefer it. Better surfacing and more robust parametric relationships than Solidworks, in my view.

[Doug Schaefer @salguod]

@MazdaUSA Meh. How about bringing back the bright color palette of the NA?

[Doug Schaefer @salguod]

@CoreyLewis86 Why does it have a drawer in the back?

[Uppity Hobbit: Maker of Things @uppityhobbit]

Comment and retweet for a chance to win a free Hobbit Day shirt. I will pick a winner Friday by random drawing and mail out the shirt on Saturday. (United States only, sorry)

[Doug Schaefer @salguod]

@uppityhobbit Possible free hobit shirt, yes please.
