Yes indeed. When I bought my STi in 2004, it had a better 0-60mph time than supercars I had posters of up in my room as a kid from the 80's.

For the vid I was mentioning the guy almost being ran over. There's a few vids making me wonder what their point was, Truth or Dare? Dare? "rush to the car, bang the hood, run away before the driver drives off". Truth = this is dumb. Maybe that's just nearly 40 years of OSHA talking though

Doesn't look like you did the burning oil step. Looks delicious, though.

Not a fail! Looks delicious. I was just wondering if you tried the burning oil. If you do, be sure to video it and post it up here.

I don't even know how to attempt it lol. All I did was put a spoon full of oil into the bowl, then poured in my hot Shoyu vegetable based broth on top. Then laid the noodles in and tried to pick them up halfway and fold them over on lay them back down on themselves but failed at that too lol

Third glorious day in a row my letter mail has been back to the normal 1-3 pieces of mail instead of the 3-5 political ads we had been getting every single day.

First day back in office and had a shiny new Surface Pro waiting at my desk.
This replaces the shi*ty iPad I've had for a few years. It was worthless for pretty much everything except email. All the MS Office apps were clunky as hell. Zero native access to network drives, and every time I have to change my network password, it effed up nearly everything on the iPad. Surface Pro: powered on, logged in, took my 2FA with no setup required, and pretty much is like they took my giant 10lb "mobile workstation" and scaled it down to a 10" laptop that doubles as a tablet. So. Much. Better. We'd been badgering our IT folks for Surfaces since they came out. IT always responded "Nope, security concern"....for something that runs the same OS as our laptops...which apparently aren't a security concern. This was a nice way to start 2021. |

They tried the Surface thing a few years back at my company. Only problem was they issued 4GB/128GB configs which are barely adequate IMHO.
We're still convinced the move was part of some settlement with MS as we apparently were not licensing their software correctly. |

This one is 16GB RAM...not bad. I'm obviously not going to be running heavy sims on it or doing a bunch of 3D CAD work. But for general office apps stuff it's great. And its nice to remote into our cluster to check on big jobs like CFD or NASTRAN runs and review the results.
I'm still tied to my 10lb laptop with a pro grade GPU and 64GB of RAM for CAD work and simulation models. But I very rarely need that when I travel and I hate dragging around the 10lb laptop with its 5lb power brick just to pull up some slides or respond to emails. |

With a good GPU 16GB of RAM works for CAD. My Windows 8 backup laptop has 16GB and worked fine while my home workstation was down, but I did spec it as a CAD machine when I had it ordered. Hardware is much better now, and AutoCAD is less picky, than in the olden days It's more about that card and dem monitors.

I have one of the original SPros and found the screen to be very undersized. Now I run it on a 32" monitor, and it is great. Battery life on the tiny thing sucks, but I have it on docking station using it as desktop replacement. Oh... It was a128GB SSD, but I added a 400GB microSD card for storage. The only problem is it tends to turn off the card as external drive on occasion. |

My travel laptop is an Elitebook 830 G7..13" screen, 10th gen i5, 32GB RAM and 512 GB SSD. Sub 3lbs so that works for me. The laptop I use to work at home is a ZBook which runs great and while smaller than workstations of the past still not something I'd want to lug around.

I had been looking for a certain discontinued boost gauge for years. It was a Defi and it was like $225 new. Finally found one for fifty bucks on eBay, with no wiring. Got the wiring from a vendor here for another sixty bucks.

Per the recent purchase thread I got a set of different OEM wheels for our Accord. Amazingly the TPMS light did not come on after installing them. I drove around for over 30 minutes today so if there was a problem I'm sure it would have come on. Is this just dumb luck or...?

In fact, I recently asked some colleagues in Montreal how often they had TPMS sensors fail. I was curious if they failed more often in the far colder Canadian temps. I learned that they didn't fail very often because nearly everyone has a separate set of wheels & snow tires on their car 6 months out of the year. And the TPMS sensors are so expensive nobody gets them on the 2nd set of wheels and just drives around with the low tire pressure warning on all the time. |
