We purchased a new piece of art today for one of the flower beds. This is from a local artist who turns scrap metal into art.
We placed it next to the Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac
It looks like crabgrass to me. Try spot spraying a glyphosate based product with a pump sprayer to help keep it under control. Glyphosate can also harm other plants in the landscape so try spraying on a calm day when the wind isn't blowing.
I would steer clear of a house warming gift geared towards just one person in the family. Tools are a great idea but your friends wife may not appreciate them as much as him. I also think that a plant or a cat isn't the best idea either. It's just one more thing for them to worry about in an...
Your initial condescension toward others with a differing point of view seems to be waning. I was expecting a home run but is this all you got? Just more name calling......yawn.
Since I'm your editor now the swasticar is kind of clever but I think you need to step it up. I like this better...
I use Zoro when the parts I need aren't time sensitive. Their prices are usually better than Grainger but the shipping times are longer and their inventory isn't as good. The reason Grainger is my go to for certain parts is because of their ability to get it to me next day.
This is just one...
Probably depends on the use case. For most situations it is not worth the money but if you have a specialized situation where you work on equipment that this type of tool is required then what can you do.
FWIW I logged into my Grainger account and the price was a little cheaper but not by...
This is what happens when you half ass your first attempt at an EV. Slow charging, piss poor range, and mediocre performance lead to sluggish sales which in turn leads to some deals to be had. This is honestly not surprising considering how out spoken Toyota is against EVs.
This is the perfect prologue to your book. I'm so impressed that going forward I will take it upon myself to be your editor. As such I feal it is my obligation to point out that you need your condescension to be more broadly based.
For example, I like the part about white males with small...
Bro you need to put all your thoughts together on why Elon Musk and Tesla are the worst thing to happen to humanity since the Nazis and the Khmer Rouge regime. Since you are so passionate about it maybe you should write a book. If you decide to do this make sure you talk down to people who...
Yeah ok.....tell that to Bosh, Denso, and Magna. I'm sure they will agree with your assessment that automotive manufacturing isn't very complex. I'm sure Ford, Stellantis, Toyota, BYD, and a slew of others will also agree with you.:rolleyes:
I've watched to many Mr. Beast videos to know that most people don't even last a week and that is with tens of thousands of dollars on the line.
I'd last about an hour tops before I would leave. Life's to short to spend any more time then I have to inside a 7 Eleven.
I don't really see the connection between serving people food quickly and building out infrastructure for people to live in. It seems like those two things should never go together.
The latest issue of Car and Driver arrived and on the cover was the Cyberbeast. I'm surprised no one mentioned this since we have so many automotive enthusiasts of all ages in this thread......
Anyway, haven't had a chance to read the entire article but just skimming through it I picked up a...
You're not wrong. Honestly I got into it years before prices started spiking and the reason why was nostalgia. I wanted to recreate a tiny piece of my childhood not only for me but also for my sons so they could see how dad used to play.
When I was a kid my dad set up his Revell slot car...
Vintage computing has exploded over the past 5 years so maybe someone could buy these retest them to see if they work then resell them? That's the only thing I can think of but if the entire lot is only $40 there probably isn't even some money to be made doing that.
I know it says "For parts...
Your disdain for Elon Musk inhibits your ability to remain objective. You then resort to name calling and derogatory behavior toward others in an attempt to justify your position.
So wouldn't that be more impressive not less impressive. I also love how Tesla is somehow held to a higher standard than any other automotive manufacturer. I own two new Fords bro and Ford has been doing it a lot longer than Tesla has yet some how Ford gets a pass when they spent over $4.8...
Yeah like I said facilities of this size don't just snap themselves into existence the shit takes time and of course a fab is more complex than automotive manufacturing but automotive manufacturing is still one of the most complex forms in the world.
It ain't like making a goddamn toaster...
The Lightning used the already existing F-150 platform. A more fair comparison would be the Ford Mustang Mach-E since it is widely considered Fords first ever built from the ground up EV.
Even then the Mach-E still uses a highly modified version of the C2 platform.
Dropping hints about a future product it not the same as having an actual functioning prototype. In the automotive manufacturing space 10 years or more to bring a new vehicle to market can be considered normal.
The fact that Tesla did it so quickly on an all new platform not an existing one...
The manufacturing facility were the Cybertruck is assembled is still under construction. In 2023 Tesla spent $770 million on an expansion plan for the Austin based plant to fulfill existing orders.
As we all know facilities of this size just don't snap themselves into existence it takes time...
Automobile manufacturing is one of the most complex forms of manufacturing in the world. Especially in North America and Europe because of the regulations law makers and government agencies have put in place. To put it into perspective it rivals silicon wafer manufacturing.
I like to give...
The Tommy Bahama shirts I bought the other day came in and they were to big. I ordered larges which usually fit me but these didn't. Just way to big for my frame.
So now I have to package them back up and attach a shipping label to the box then leave the box on the porch so the FedEx driver...
I'm about 5 episodes in and this is exactly how I feel about it so far. I never played any of the games so I have no reference to relate to on that side of things. I also think the series is kind of weird but in a quirky way that I'm not opposed.
Anyway, I may or may not finish it but at...
I spotted a Japanese Kei truck on the parking lot today at work. Due to my location I NEVER thought I would ever get the chance to see one of these in person but I'm so glad I did.
Spoke with the owner for a minute and he said everything works even the AC and dump bed but it took him awhile to...
Purchased some new summer drip for going out. My wife and I decided that this year we don't want to spend the spring and summer sitting around the house or just working in the gardens. We want to go out and do things together so I needed to update.
I headed over to Tommy Bahama and picked out...
You might be thinking of cylinder deactivation or variable displacement not VVT. VVT is pretty much an industry standard now because of improved emissions, fuel economy, and performance.
While Honda didn't pioneer this technology they made it more mainstream by introducing their VTEC line of...
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I'm not really worried about it being to code and if the next buyer is a moron and wants to close off the opening with rails more power to them. It would totally ruin the look so my guess is that they won't.
They will probably ask for a discount like @Greenman...
We got a break from the rain and were able to get our onions planted. It's a little late but I think they will be fine. This year we just kept it simple and went with a intermediate day sampler pack and a long day sampler pack from Dixondale Farms.
I also noticed that some of the fruit...
I had not looked at it that way before but now that you mention it it kind of does. That's the beauty of art. You can have a hundred people look at the same piece and each one can see something different.
I won't go into details about what we paid for it but when speaking with the artist he...
We were driving back from Indiana today after going to see the eclipse and spotted my first Cybertruck. It looks good in person at least for the brief time I saw it on the interstate. Can't wait to get a closer look when they start becoming more common on the road.
Just made it back from middle of nowhere Indiana and what an amazing experience! We found a church parking lot right off I-74 and settled in. Totality was an experience like no other. The temp dropped from 75*(24C) to 69*(20C) and all the birds started nesting for the "evening". It felt like...
Its go time boys. Weather don't matter at this point it's all about me and my wife going on an adventure together......to rural Indiana:D. Truck is fueled up and we got a cornucopia of food and drink packed.
Yeah this is a Kroger bag full of food....don't judge me.
We don't either we just buy what looks nice to us. The first piece we bought was at a road side candle store along I-74 just over the Indiana/Illinois border and is was around $125. It's still hanging in the living room 6 years later.
We do tend to go for more modern styles but this one just spoke to both of us. It's hard to explain but when we are walking through a gallery or an art fair and we see something that both of us fall for and both of us can agree on a spot in the house were it would fit. We just know it when we...
