Dig this, even if you’d sell a pound for a pound, you’d still have 17 million pounds.

I really wish emissions/efficiency/reliability restomods became more common. Fuel injection and a modern cat can really improve an old car.

I’m kind of worried what I’ll drive in 20 years time. There aren’t a lot of cars I like that came out after 2005 and I need to find a way to keep stuff running.

You could indeed do that. My uncle did something similar back in the day when he had no display.

What about Odysee? I don’t frequent it too much these days but it seemed like a good alternative a few years ago.

Do you like cumin? I can’t stand the stuff, but I love mint. The reason I ask, is that the molecule responsible for the taste is the same in both, just mirrored.

So far I like this version the best. However, someone put up the human rights logo and I think it would do quite well here, since it’s a dove (as requested), but also looks a bit like a hand. Another request was the color black. Maybe make the pupil black? Pretty sure that covers the commitee’s requests.

Edit: something like this

Damn, nice catch. Probably similar stump-like family tree.

I’m over thirty and I’m proud to stay that I can outrun a yellowjacket anytime. In fact, I’ve done it several times last week, much to the pleasure of my spectating colleagues.

She was a caffiend

Just short it mate.

The radiator hoses are as old as the car bar a few that have been changed in the last 24 years. The radiator looks pretty good, the hoses look alright as well, I just had some problems before out of the blue so that’s why I’m a bit worried. I also had slight ovearheating last year during searing summer days under either very high load (slow and steep climb with 4 heavy dudes and luggage) or inching in traffic with the AC on. Nothing a short stop at idle with the AC off wouldn’t fix

I have some nice grippy summer tires that I used for a single season, so that should be okay. The spares will come from the winter set which are a bit older but they are good enough as spares (I wouldn’t drive on them for another season, but I tend get new tires after two seasons max).

Maintenence under my watch was pretty consistent. The car is at the shop to take care of anything I neglected. They’re changing the cambelt, waterpump, rocker cover gasket, a few bushings, pretty much the entire exhaust system and a few bits here and there. Pads are brand new, haven’t had the chance to bed them in yet.

Last year I went on a similar trip (roughly 2000km but only 1-2 passes in mild weather) and things went great. Now there will be a LOT of climbing and descending and it’s the height of summer.

Honestly I trust the car, but I like to be prepared. It’s an old hile milage hero (about 470k on the clock) with the venerable VAG 1.8T (and a cheeky map). On paper it has no business running, much less doing this sort of stuff, but it never let me down regardless of not being easy on it. If I had the time and money until the trip I would jury rig a sprinkler above the intercooler to cool the charge air a little further, but I don’t see how it would go well at this stage.

A few years ago I subscribed for a few months, but didn’t dive too deep. Is there still a social aspect to usenet these days or is it just file sharing? It would be great to find forums and such.

Pretty sure an SM57/58 could stand up to a Sherman

I got a request from hetzner to upload my id and selfies. Is that something that is normal in this day and age? I remember back in the day it wasn’t needed. At most, a declaration of my residence and such.

A few years ago, I went out and brought myself a nice pair of perscription sunglasses, trouble was I didn’t have any spare cash to buy regular glasses. So, for about 2-3 years I had shades on everywhere I went, day or night. What I noticed is that if you’re confident enough people don’t really mind or act any different. Now that I have both, I easily keep the sunglasses on without noticing and there is no fuss usually unless I go into a bank or something.

Cumjar …jfc. On the other hand, cool band name.

This was the first album that I “borrowed” from my brother without his knowledge. From last grade in kindergarten to high school whenever there was a “bring your favorite cd” assignment I brought this. By the end of high school the cd was so beat up it was barely listenable. Maybe I should by him a new copy now that a few decades passed…

You say data and I say data…

Does Christ and the Antichrist work a bit like matter? Could I just summon Jesus and put him next to Trump, would they annihilate each other
