No, ViperorMiata is riding out the storm at an airport in the keys.

:noes: Yikes, finger crossed for him.

Did anyone hear how viperormiata fared in the hurricane? Reports out of the Keys aren't sounding so good.

I have not heard from him in days.

I find myself annoyed by magic acts which rely upon large, complex props.

Each vertical stack of logic modules in the Cray-2 supercomputer sat atop a power supply which delivered 5 volts at 2,200 amps.

The total power consumption of a fully-configured system was between 150–200 kW.

When running at full power, it was found that, to a limited extent, the perfluorinated polyether used to cool the machine would break down to form the extremely toxic gas perfluoroisobutylene.

I wonder what the engineering reasoning was behind the 400 Hz power supply.

czubaka 09-18-2017 03:05 PM

That is interesting. Most aerospace stuff is also 400Hz.

I feel oddly / selfishly grateful that this hurricane probably isn't going to fuck up my place this coming week.

Don't really know what to say here...

And now you're back in chicago? Back at the same TV station as before? Starting in the mail room again, or did you get the VP corner office they offered you to stay a two months ago?

For some reason, I have a strong urge to post a really bizarre warning sign, such as:
NOTICE:

  • FLAMMABLE METALS
  • VOGON POETRY

ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN THE MACHINE ROOM

I'll get this done.

I wonder how long it will last though, that's the thing to bet on.


I don't recall whether I ever posted an image of the finished product:

Stanislav Petrov died. He saved the world in 1983. Seriously, he saved the world.

Joe Perez 09-20-2017 08:20 PM

Thank you, Comrade Petrov.

My wife just came in to inform me that she backed the Expy into the Miata. I was calm. I will go and see it now.

EDIT: Seems to be mostly a deformed bumper cover, and a very slight dimple in the hood. Nothing is cracked on either headlight.

cats for being calms

Thx. Drove last night. Headlight aim did not change. I just have to be on the lookout at the LKQ sight for a 1999 Green.

Protip: Do not age.

We just finished a 36 hour episode and my knees hurt. A lot.
A new and unwelcome unpleasanteryness.

You have to admit though, it beats the alternative. ;)


Sorry about the knees.


BTW, Your 36 hr project looks amazing. Can't wait to see it in action!

Trying to get my nb2 thru emissions. We are a plug in state and if all is well and no cels and the obd2 diagnostic tests are complete, you pass. I have 3 tests that haven't completed yet. Oxygen sensor monitor, catalyst monitor and egr system. It has been months and many miles of varying conditions and no go. Any advice?

Have any tests completed? How good of a scanner do you have?
