I think it was pretty similar to why I keep the AC on in my convertible with the top down, mostly to increase comfort at stop lights. It can be amazing how much difference some lower humidity air blowing on you can make.

Most are 3 or 4 pin cores without security pins. 5 or 6 pin cores are rare, and extra sliders or side cuts basically never exist. They are usually some of the easiest locks to pick or rake open. Almost always a “closed shackle” AKA traditional body padlock with the body extending up to...

It used to be that HP jet direct cards were the gaping hole that allowed malware to be installed in your network. More recently, to many peoples chagrin, network enabled security DVR’s popped up as even worse at having unpatched vulnerabilities and being internal pain points. Now HikVision is...

I volunteered on a light show project at a fire station for 10 years. (the park across the street has a long parking lot facing the station and adjacent park, so minimal traffic impact) We had 240v, 50A outlets with in use covers installed on both front corners of the building, and a pair of...

Generally the few places/conditions that have speed limits are handled by knowing the appropriate gear and RPM for pit row, etc. so no speedo.

Polish up some stainless steel tubes and mount them centered on fancy brackets down the center? Then shorter hoses at both ends?

There is a chance he thinks he is doing you a favor. Forcing you to double down on your resolve and your focus on learning, or wash out before you invest too much time if you won’t double down on your resolve. Those aren’t your only options, but it may be a good time to evaluate what you could...

In 87 I worked in the same office as someone who discovered it was possible to crash a Cray with FORTRAN code. The sysadmins insisted it wasn’t possible. But my recollection is that the bounds of an implied loop within a print statement were not correctly checked by the compiler or system. Oops.

I may have been looking at the wrong spec sheet, but I saw something calling for 425 CFM of airflow over the case @ 6 inches?

If I tried that, I’d be lucky if the lawn was all that got scalped.

How well does she shoot handgun? My wife can usually score right up with me on LTC qualification scores, and I think she maintains that skill with less effort. Please consider that maybe your trigger finger should be resting on the frame above the trigger? If you are startled by someone you...

At least one could be reprogrammed while locked using just a fork, and one could be opened with a spoon while locked.

The longer this goes, the more closely I will resemble an ideal shape: Spherical.

RE: Lawn mowing requiring a chain saw, one of my relatives has some acreage, and different parts are on different mowing schedules. There is probably at least 5 acres where the mowing frequency is around once every 8-16 months, and any pine tree less than 4 feet tall, that is not marked to be...

The other reason for liquor sales, is how many would wind up in hospitals for DTs if liquor stores closed?

More that it should be harder to jam, and you can physically protect the installations. GPS could in theory be taken out by launching a few loads of space trash into generally intersecting orbits, or other more targeted approaches.

Around here, far too many puddles come from the HOA, or even the city trying to grow new concrete. Or at least nobody has been able to document a better reason for all the sprinklers watering the roads.

Unfortunately, copper clad aluminum, masquerading as copper has become a thing. And a lot of wire is out there with very soft insulation as well. I’ve never really thought about suitability for under hood use, but I really like Ancor marine wire for a lot of low voltage applications...

A lot of it is likely water cooled and lots of thermal mass compared to air cooled, and minimal thermal mass. It affects the operable tolerances considerably. And unless you are rolling coal, the diesel is always running LOP. And the real world penalties for a failed tractor engine are nearly...

And sometimes they get downright lazy. Allegedly there is at least one case of a crime stoppers style post with video going somewhat viral. A lady comments, tagging her boyfriend, so he can see it. The posting jurisdiction decides it is a tip, and somehow gets an arrest warrant, never mind...
