Nice little project, I inputted the dimensions of a engine I've been building (b20-vtec) and it estimated 160whp which sounds low but I also can't set up my cams properly because it looks like this was designed for SOHC engines. V

Can confirm, we used to play it in the high school I went to around 2012 because it was one of the few games that the network filters didn't block.

Niche forums are still alive and well. I run a blog and like to write about projects but it's hard to get feedback there unless you're willing to moderate comments. As a work around I started sharing build threads on places like g

> Cool - you mean like the CNC I have sitting next to the printers? Which this legislation doesn't cover? Other states like Colorado have similar bills that define a "3d printer" as a computer aided machine that uses addit

I'm a big fan of FreeCAD and have been using it to design and sell 3d printed parts. The learning curve was kinda steep because FreeCAD really wants you to things the "FreeCAD way" but once I got past that I started to enjoy

> Can you even make a firearm in plastic? Yes but most designs still require metal bits. Typically the frame will be 3d printed and then you rely on machined components for things like slides and rails.

That won't work. Windows won't let you finish the installation process unless you connect to the internet so you can't get the PC to a point where you could install the drivers.

Hopefully it settles down soon. DDR4 prices are climbing now as well since more people are sticking with it. I'd love to build a new desktop soon but I couldn't justify the cost and am instead building out a used desktop that&#x27

My sample size is small but the usual reason I hear from non-technical individuals is that they want the best camera possible.

You can make lithophanes with 3d prints. I don't know about anyone else but that's what I thought this post would be about.

Typically ICE cars will offer variants of the "same" motor with different cams or pistons or even cylinder heads for the higher hp models alongside that better tune though.

Car phones weren't common place and were typically only available in some higher end luxury cars. I wouldn't exactly call that lots of cars.

I'm not the one blaming consumers here. Sorry to hear about your Grandmother but just because someone has an Iphone doesn't mean the scammers will give up. They'll just pick another attack vector.

I know every dealer is different but I've worked at several and never heard of gps trackers for inventory purposes. Dealers don't usually kept track of where the cars are very well. On the flip side smaller questionable used car d

Why can't it be both? You can work hard and the business can still flop due to things outside of your control. I started a business a year before Covid hit. I worked hard and did multiple weeks of working 6 - 7 days. Then Covid popped

Personally I just write about things I'm interested in talking about. I do a lot of in-depth car project posts and since I like to hang out on car specific subreddits I'll drop a link once in awhile if it relevant. It's bette

Articles like these are my favorite. Some of the design decisions about the web feel so absurd until you follow the trail. It's like a slow descent into madness.

I do this too and also sometimes substitute "reddit" with "forum" if I'm researching DIY projects. Niche forums are still incredibly valuable resources and somehow their solutions don't revolve around me buying
