@scanlime maybe they're looking to churn 'n' burn new grads?

when the Computer was created, heroes vowed to end its malevolent reign. the only thing powerful enough to destroy the Computer? a type of advanced weapon called Software. the battle has been ongoing for decades, with the Computer fending off all manner of assaults, and growing exponentially more powerful. but soon, the end is in sight. our heroes have the upper hand. we have mighty stacks of Software, tall as castles. soon the Computer will slow to a crawl, and its evil will be stopped forever

The secret to sealing fiberglass parts: cotton swabs, apparently!

I heard of this trick a year or two ago but this is the first part I've had the chance to use it on. Just put a small mount of CA glue on a cotton swab and use it to apply it to the edge. If you want a really nice finish, sand with some fine sandpaper between coats once it dries.

Even without sanding, the finish is quite smooth with only a few rough spots.

... and NeoCities

It would be awesome with a GeoCities archive too.

2022-09-29

Pretty much: 'browse the web like its <year>'

It would be nice if there was a proxy to archive.org conplete with a functional 'fake' search engine and you could limit how new the sites could be.

HOLLY SHIT - DASHARE.ZONE ADMIN

Have you heard off this shit called "The Library"
Everythings free there

a skeleton joyously holds up a book called "All Landlords Suck" with a picture on the cover of a house inhabited by a skeleton; Jeff Bezos's head sublimates into the clouds, labeled "Seeya Bezos"

@freakazoid yeah, I wonder what the numbers would have to be. I guess a heavier mass could make up for a lack of height.

@natalie maybe they were testing it with a wire with a female header on the end and decided to be lazy when they made it permanent

@MacLemon if you want to run sensored brushless, you have to get a very long sensor lead, though

@MacLemon F1 chassises (sic) being weird was the main draw for me. I'm not really into pan cars (and F1 by extension) because their suspension seems kinda sketchy. Like something that made sense in the '70s or early '80s when manufacturing was more primitive. Anyway, I figured the best kind to own would have scale appearance and use rubber tires.

I really like the JX PDI-4409MG as well. I've bought a bunch and there are some quality inconsistencies but the price still makes them a good value. Much cheaper than the Savox servos I'd be breaking otherwise. ;)

Glad to hear the XV-01 is working out for you! It has some of my favorite driving dynamics of any touring car I've driven. My front-mid motor TB-05 is pretty good too, though, so I expect the XV-02 to not be bad either. I run a used Speed Passion 13.5 (IIRC Speed Passion was the OEM for Tamiya TBLM motors and have their leads coming out the back which helps on some models) and that has been good on stock gearing.

@freakazoid every EV charging station needs to use a big ol' weight on a crane for power storage

@selfcare_gentle sucking at something is the first step towards being kinda good at something
