Re: Cooking and puttering about the finnish countryside

Oh yeah what about the trunk/boot? I'm glad I asked. Rolled on a layer of epoxy primer in the trunk. https://i.imgur.com/30D6j0dh.jpg Day after and keeping the garage at 20C so it's cured enough to be painted over. I then put a layer of stone chip protection. This is oil based with anti-corrosive pr...

Re: Cooking and puttering about the finnish countryside

I removed the front bumper again and modified the fog light brackets. They had been bugging me for a while, too far apart compared to factory ones. So I decided to move them 5cm further in on each side. Looks better this way IMO. https://i.imgur.com/tuo5UZSh.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/6uZKqTwh.jpeg (r...

TIL that VMWare is price gouging it's customers, example an 8 mill contract is now a 100 mill contract. Thanks VMWare for showing the inherent risks of cloud computing. This means returning to bare metal servers will be economical and probably a lot of customers are implementing this right now and g...

Re: Brexit and not very united kingdom politics II

Possibly it's just that easy, but the lack of information and posting pictures that are later retracted for supposed manipulation makes for some real juicy gossip and conspiracy theorizing

Apparently there's something up with Kate Middleton and the royals don't want to let anyone know. Dead, Coma, something else?

Some people have likened the earlier released photos akin to attempting a Weekend At Bernie's.

Re: Cooking and puttering about the finnish countryside

After looking for half a year it suddenly happened. A set of -431 injectors out of a Saab 9000. E85 conversion is a go! E85 last I looked was 60 cents cheaper per liter, which is almost 3 euros cheaper per gallon. https://i.imgur.com/iKYygO9h.jpg Filter baskets removed already https://i.imgur.com/cQ...

Re: Cooking and puttering about the finnish countryside

I washed the Saab last night when we had above freezing temps because it had a lot of grinding dust on it from being in the shop. Of course afterwards I find two pools of water in the trunk, that I'm about to repaint with epoxy primer. Leaks coming in same place as last time it appears, from the tai...

Back to the Aux port. It's now installed and it sounds really good. But I ran into a lot of problems with static and horrible noises... So I've been troubleshooting this setup for quite some time. In the end I came to the conclusion that the phone was the problem, something in the software in the ph...

Re: Brexit and not very united kingdom politics II

Labour gained 107 votes in Wellingborough and the Tories lost 24,869 compared to 2019. So it's not really people voting for Labour more than they did, just conservative vote collapse. I haven't seen how it went in Kingswood but not surprised if that too is more a result of cons not voting. However t...

Pie cuts are cool and easy to make with a bandsaw. But I don't have a bandsaw, just an angle grinder. So I have to do it the harder way. I made a 1:1 template in fusion 360, I needed to print this on two A4s , it's a 22.5 degree template. It's pretty cool, de https://i.imgur.com/BTcIQqj.png That fee...

Re: Brexit and not very united kingdom politics II

I guess taxes can't be raised anymore. Or anything done about all the faffing about with corrupt deals that cost the tax payers billions while benefiting mates of MPs and the like. Nothing. can. be. done.

Better things are simply not possible.

Re: UK and US forces launch 'targeted strikes' against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen

The prison example was in relation to "murder/maiming/poisioning of people or nature", naturally the level of consequence differs based on the severity of what has happened. I just think the general principle of responsibility flows upwards should be upheld.

Re: UK and US forces launch 'targeted strikes' against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen

I think bosses should be responsible for their employees actions. Or they don't deserve to earn one cent more than the employee does. Their pay increase is supposed to be from taking responsibility. I know it's actually not true IRL, just look at all those venal CEOs saying they'll take responsibili...

Re: UK and US forces launch 'targeted strikes' against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen

I remember the photos of all the starving children in Yemen a few years ago, sent some money to charities there. But things have not improved, they've kept killing children in Yemen as in Gaza with uncritical US support or much in the way of protest from other western countries. They all have a righ...

Re: UK and US forces launch 'targeted strikes' against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen

Can't really blame the houthis for doing this. Western support and contribution to the atrocities in Yemen have been ongoing for a long time, they have a right to strike back at us for that alone regardless of how weak they are. Our support of Israel also deserves punishment.
