It’s clearly different because Mazda doesn’t want to call their new system “Knockers”. Because, yeah.

Honestly though, I’m curious of the same...it’s controlled knock, which can be designed for - you’re basically building a gasoline fuelled diesel engine. CR isn’t going to be an issue (my 2.8 Duramax runs 16.5:1), and…

Mazda3 was on the block for a vehicle purchase for us last month, but the interior technology was lacking - even compared to Ford, Hyundai, and Chevy. No Android Auto, no Apple Carplay, and the touchscreen turns off the touch functionality when you’re moving...forcing you to use the knob.

The engine’s a nice touch, but…

LAN was alive and well into 2007+... In high school (2004-2007 for me) We’d do LAN parties of STALKER or Mechwarrior3...either in class or the ‘graveyard’ lab I ran (crazy stuff like a POSIX cluster made of headless, (not properly) hot-swapped CD drives running on Dell Optiplex GX110's...

Most fun was those Gateway…

No offense, but this stuff sucks. I bought 5 pairs and a few pairs of Hanes midrange boxer briefs at the same time, and I wash them all on the same rotation... my Hanes cheapos are fine, but the exofficios are worn and falling apart...Not feeling like it was money well spent at all.

Also, I have a front load washer,…

Sorry, but my well-manicured lawn is one of my favorite features of my house. I don’t go overboard - I fertilize now twice yearly, at the same time I apply insect killers.

Tall grass is just room for snakes and animals to breed in, not to mention insects. Running 3 years now, with my lawn getting better each year (and…

Curiously...wouldn’t this be what one would expect in the months after a AAA title is released? The DLC is already made from what I’ve heard, EA can shill that for the next year or two while interest wanes, and then bring people back together to make a sequel...rinse and repeat. How did this go for Fallout 4 or Mass…

Not to be that guy, but LA? Granted I’ve never been to NYC, but I’ve been to LA. Being from MO - I’d prefer not to drive in either.

I’d happily take the shift tower assy out of a MK3. If I could find one...

Clearly you haven’t seen Peebee’s scene...either with FemRyder or BroRyder. Recycled anim same for both...

Where did I say I was using wire for the rectifier? The rectifier itself is capable of it, not the input and output leads - those are sized appropriately for the ~240A output load. The input load is distributed 6 ways on each of the positive and negative leads, leaving each diode to handle . The bus bars are 1/4"…

It’s a Copeland scroll compressor. Very, very low startup amperage needs compared to a standard recip compressor, and far more efficient running amps and lower noise levels as well. The entire unit maxes out at 18.6A @ 220v peak draw by the nameplate, I’ve measured a bit less even on hard-startup after a short cycle…

Hell I skimmed the manual for my brand new work truck that I got on Friday today. Did the same thing on my personal truck that I bought back in November. It’s a matter of responsibility.

1800 watts is its peak. Meaning 15A max inrush current. Anything recommended for a 20A circuit (I.e. fridge, microwave) would max out this generator on inrush current...might work for a short duration, but not a good health plan on the generator or the fridge.

Really, no. A quality built generator is going to have longer longevity PLUS better reliability even when stored. It’s also going to provide cleaner power, and run quieter and more efficiently.

I’ve been debating twinning some Honda (or similar) inverter generators for a while and putting in a transfer switch on my…

Hitting diesel alone sucks for the economy...

And my pocket. My diesel truck gets 30mpg (which was a large reason I chose the diesel) but 20% higher is still 20% higher. And you can bet diesel is going to get the brunt of it, not gasoline (or at least it always seems to!)

This sounds like a Deadpool bit...

Actually they *were* vented rotors... More cross-breeze, sure...but they still suck air in the middle and exhaust it around the edges (watch the smoke, there’s a lot of air motion going on!)

and that plastique...

A buttload of force.
