McAfee can't hold a candle to this man.
manual89··on 21 Firms that will convert your classic into an EV
While you would get a nice static balance that way, hanging heavy weights far from the center of a sports car would likely destroy its charm.
manual89··on Technique for 3D printing metals at the nanoscale reveals surprise benefit
I'd like to know how long it would take to print a benchy using this technique.
manual89··on All of the vehicle license plates available in America
Too bad the plate cost data wasn't presented. Was wondering which was the most expensive. In Oregon the cost varies pretty wildly, and some don't have a renewal surcharge.
manual89··on DIY Espresso (2020)
They come halfway close, but not enough pressure in the end.

They are also not going to last you very long especially if you use it a lot.

Q2 explosions were actual meshes which I thought was rather unique.

manual89··on America’s largest tool company couldn’t make a wrench in America

manual89··on Play Counter Strike 1.6, with full multiplayer, in the browser
My favorite thing to do in the earlier versions was to "gun-run" dropped weapons back to base, since they did not despawn at the end of the round. So much fun amassing a giant arsenal for your teammates to pick through.
manual89··on Play Counter Strike 1.6, with full multiplayer, in the browser
I remember the days when I tried to play Quake on my 28.8 modem over the net pre-Quakeworld.

Almost made me swear online multiplayer off for life.

manual89··on The (Almost) Definitive 486DX/50 Article
Acclaim, publisher of forsaken, was scrutinized for a rather risqué marketing campaign for the game. Never played the game myself so I don't know if the ads had anything to do with the content.
