You ever try to grenade the gearbox in a minivan by doing mean stuff to it? In a rental you can!

Make sure to not hog the fast lane :)

God damn it this is gonna ruin traffic on highway 84 again, it was so nice not to have traffic on the Dumbarton.

The gaps are so bad that my girlfriend points them out to me as we drive.

I don’t think Californias power grid is ready to handle the demands for a massive increase in electronic vehicles on the grid. These timelines are great on paper and for getting votes by progressives, but the infra can’t handle it.

I ordered like 5 of them the other day from JLCPCB it was like 6 bucks shipped to my place.

I saw this post online, I’ve had the pm2.5 sensor sitting around for a long time…

That’s one way to self promote. Cool repo.

Ohhh there was this YouTube video (from Motortend?) showing a model X in tow that had a drastic reduction in range when towing a trailer.

Now compare that to the LandCruiser that we haul race cars with… the LC always gets 14 mpg, we have filled it with 6 adults going to Tahoe, same MPG. Haul a 2700lbs sports car. Doesn’t change at all.

Honestly an EV would be nice for hauling stuff to the track, hopefully with the race car, and equipment it can make it to Willows on a single charge, at least the track has RV hookup points, can charge while you race.

I’m a little confused by this statement; but here are my service options for my datsun. I can order parts from my local dealer, an online dealer, (and I’ve never tried it but I assume from Nissan), and finally the Nissan Motorsports department.

If Tesla chooses to have no dealerships, then I have to go to them for support.

If I go to a dealership and get ripped off, I can call the manufacturer and they can assist with the problem. Happened to our TSX when the motor was burning oil and the guy who was at the parts shop was saying it was within spec. I had to get a support representative from Honda involved with the repair.

Honestly I’m surprised that it would be exposed like that, rather than tucked behind a panel.

The rubber fuel lines on my 1973 240z are behind a removable panel at the rear wheel. 3 screws and it’s off for access.

Nor will they sell you parts to repair it.

Teachers please use testing suites, include basic tests that can show student that they are making progress in the assignment. Have your own tests for grading (if you want).

For intermediate classes force students to use some type of version control, as in they need to submit assignments to a branch, and the branch will be graded.

i just got a driveshaft balanced for my 240z, it was 2/3oz out on the front and 1/3oz out on the tail. I was thinking how much force would that generate at speed.

Hopefully the vibration problem is gone.

We should not be interfering with key-stone species.

I’ve had less suicidal thoughts now that I work from home. It was the commut, I think.

Not gonna lie that’s pretty cool.

There’s a sound limit on the track, I think the decibel sensor is on the right side of turns 4-5. And you get 3 strikes or your out policy if you are over.

People make some interesting exhausts just for this track.

Thunder hill has a similar policy but they move the Sensor around...

must be related to the idiots that build their home next to Laguna Seca.

Ah thanks for reminding me, I bought a load of milkweed seeds and threw them in the fridge back in November. I’ll start germinating them right now.

1. Was hybrid, 3 days in 2 remote, now full remote

2. 1-1.5hr 1 way commute :(

3. It’s improved because I’m not stuck in my car for hours on end.

4. Pros : more time working on cars, more time to read. Cons : lost 15lbs, need to go start lifting weights again.

5. Na

6. Yeah I’m all for it, in-office should be optional.

Supa!

I've been part of 2 teams that used aws lambda for their APIs. One team decided that they wanted to use chalice and build custom bash scripts to deploy parts of the system out. (chalice would perform the deployment of apigateway, and get the required IAM policies built out. For all other resources they would use terraform, but they broke it down on a per-resource bases, rather than accepting changes to all the infra in 1 go, there would be a script that runs each resource type independently; buckets, tables, service-accounts, elasticsearch....

The current team does their deployments in 2 stages, first the use chalice to generate the correct terraform files for the 2 lambda's that are deployed one the indexer, the other the service api, then the generate all the other terraform json files using python. After this is complete the infra is deployed in 1 step.

The second team has way less errors on deployment, and managing the infra is way easier, esp if you need to nuke it all and rebuild an environment.

I would break out the terraform backend on a per-environment basis rather than clumping them into folder/bucket, that can be dangerous if the bucket gets emptied.

There was a strange thing I noticed when I moved from the rented router/modem combo provided by Comcast to a netgear Cm1000. The speed rate average dropped from 700mbps to 2-300mbps. Is this a configuration problem?

What kind of car?

I’ve always found GCP documentation to be absolute trash, if you can use AWS Lambda do it, our indexing service/data portal runs off of it it works very well, the integration with CloudWatch insights makes logging pretty straightforward.

People already retrofitting tesla motors inside of vintage Porsches, I’m sure as more EVs end up in junkyards more will make their way into speed junkies hands.

Personally if I could retrofit my 240z with an electric drivetrain I would, I just wanna smoke some Tesla’s off the line :)

Daniel Sterns got a pretty cool website. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/

I was using his advise when I upgraded my 240z headlights, a huge difference.

i like caves till the point where you have to squeeze your body in this little crack. What happens if theres a earthquake when im trying to pass through.

You're paying him money, I don’t think he cares.

@samatlman check your boys out.
