I like your thinking and my wife and I are doing something similar. Just planting some things we almost always want on hand, potatoes and tomatoes, and then some things to add variety, shallots and peppers. Also, looking back at Victory Gardens is an easy way for most suburbanites to begin, as those were low… Read more

So weird that SKF says “CAUTION: When mounting a bearing, nevers trike it directly with any hard object such as a steel hammer or a chisel, and never apply the mounting force through the rolling elements.” Read more

It’s probably not that bad. If that mesh intake grate goes back behind it to a big airbox, that tube from the airbox to the throttle is about the same diameter as the throttle, and has the little nub for tuning the resonance. Read more

After just spending a week in Sequoia National park in a rented campervan (Travellers Autobarn has unlimited miles!). I can safely say that spending time, money and weight on subway tile, but not on an electric pump for the sink is one of the dumbest decisions a camper builder could make. Read more

Call around and get dry ice for your cooler. If you keep the cooler pretty full, and the dry ice wrapped in a couple paper shopping bags, 5lbs can keep a 30 can cooler cold for 3 days. Exposing the dry ice to directly to ambient air, and having too much dead air in the cooler will shorten that. The positives are… Read more

Well said, I agree. Read more

You are missing a large chunk of inventory management for manufacturers. Warranty claims. By keeping a close eye on these, you can keep stock on hand for the warranty period and shift some of the unused production stock for warranty stock. This of course still requires careful planning and consideration, and knowing… Read more

A street legal* car without a windshield. Bradley is hardly *that* crazy.

I clicked through three of the slides before coming down here to complain.
What a stupid way to format this. Read more

This, along with intra-city delivery are where manufacturers should be blitzing to develop and market BEVs. I can’t imagine how much gas a 20 ft box truck wastes idling every day.

Weather reports humidity in Relative Humidity, which is how much water vapor can the air hold at that temp. 47% RH at 50°F is a very different amount of water than 47% RH at 80°F.

I can’t wait to hear about all the shenanigans that this car will bring! The highs will be high, but the lows can be oh so low. Pretty much what to expect with air suspension!

My parents (early 60s) recall many stories of the vacations that they did growing up. It seems every summer had a week or two of some roadtrip or another or a couple smaller trips throughout. My brother and I were lucky enough to enjoy some trips too, but by plane or train, as my parents didn’t like to drive. Now I… Read more

Pictures are hard when you are the only one in the group. Then when you have a group, stops are usually so filled with chat and tasks that pictures get forgotten!

Bradley, now that you’ve gotten a taste of Wisconsin, I’d like to formally invite you to ride the Trans-Wisconsin Adventure Trail with me and a couple friends. I reccommend that you search more about it, but maybe not by its initialism in proper company! The mainly off road route will take you from the shores of… Read more

I love building wheels. I’ve done front and rear for my KE125 two stroke, and the rear for a XT350 dualsport. I spent probably two, two and a half hours on the first one. The next couple were much faster. I used a static balance stand, and got them true down to about 1mm in roundness and wobble. Then I looked at the… Read more

Everyone? No. More people? Yes.

I already trust walmart greeters more than I do the federal government, so I would welcome the upgrade!

In response to “all companies formed in China are actually State controlled puppets”. That may not directly be the case, but the board of almost every company has seats controlled by the CCP and the large decisions are made with unspoken approval of the regime.
