Probably my Citizen “bullhead” challange timer with the rally strap the last owner put in it. I bought it as my first “expensive” watch and thought I’d wear it maybe once a week. Well, I’ve had it for almost a year and it has become my daily.
Never thought that I’d see the day when being kind, diplomatic and articulate is the most punk thing one can do.
Ah, the ‘itis!

I knew something was odd. I watch youtube without an account and in the past few days, when trying to watch some of my favorite channels youtube prompted me to “lognin to prove” I’m not a bot. This was only for a handful of channels, others seem to work fine.
I really wish emissions/efficiency/reliability restomods became more common. Fuel injection and a modern cat can really improve an old car.
I’m kind of worried what I’ll drive in 20 years time. There aren’t a lot of cars I like that came out after 2005 and I need to find a way to keep stuff running.
You could indeed do that. My uncle did something similar back in the day when he had no display.
Do you like cumin? I can’t stand the stuff, but I love mint. The reason I ask, is that the molecule responsible for the taste is the same in both, just mirrored.
So far I like this version the best. However, someone put up the human rights logo and I think it would do quite well here, since it’s a dove (as requested), but also looks a bit like a hand. Another request was the color black. Maybe make the pupil black? Pretty sure that covers the commitee’s requests.
Edit: something like this
Damn, nice catch. Probably similar stump-like family tree.
I’m over thirty and I’m proud to stay that I can outrun a yellowjacket anytime. In fact, I’ve done it several times last week, much to the pleasure of my spectating colleagues.
The radiator hoses are as old as the car bar a few that have been changed in the last 24 years. The radiator looks pretty good, the hoses look alright as well, I just had some problems before out of the blue so that’s why I’m a bit worried. I also had slight ovearheating last year during searing summer days under either very high load (slow and steep climb with 4 heavy dudes and luggage) or inching in traffic with the AC on. Nothing a short stop at idle with the AC off wouldn’t fix
I have some nice grippy summer tires that I used for a single season, so that should be okay. The spares will come from the winter set which are a bit older but they are good enough as spares (I wouldn’t drive on them for another season, but I tend get new tires after two seasons max).
Maintenence under my watch was pretty consistent. The car is at the shop to take care of anything I neglected. They’re changing the cambelt, waterpump, rocker cover gasket, a few bushings, pretty much the entire exhaust system and a few bits here and there. Pads are brand new, haven’t had the chance to bed them in yet.
Last year I went on a similar trip (roughly 2000km but only 1-2 passes in mild weather) and things went great. Now there will be a LOT of climbing and descending and it’s the height of summer.
Honestly I trust the car, but I like to be prepared. It’s an old hile milage hero (about 470k on the clock) with the venerable VAG 1.8T (and a cheeky map). On paper it has no business running, much less doing this sort of stuff, but it never let me down regardless of not being easy on it. If I had the time and money until the trip I would jury rig a sprinkler above the intercooler to cool the charge air a little further, but I don’t see how it would go well at this stage.
A few years ago I subscribed for a few months, but didn’t dive too deep. Is there still a social aspect to usenet these days or is it just file sharing? It would be great to find forums and such.
Pretty sure an SM57/58 could stand up to a Sherman
A few years ago, I went out and brought myself a nice pair of perscription sunglasses, trouble was I didn’t have any spare cash to buy regular glasses. So, for about 2-3 years I had shades on everywhere I went, day or night. What I noticed is that if you’re confident enough people don’t really mind or act any different. Now that I have both, I easily keep the sunglasses on without noticing and there is no fuss usually unless I go into a bank or something.
Cumjar …jfc. On the other hand, cool band name.
You say data and I say data…
Does Christ and the Antichrist work a bit like matter? Could I just summon Jesus and put him next to Trump, would they annihilate each other
I used my 8 plus (or whatever the flagship was at that time) for 8 years and for 7.5 years the battery was fine. In the last six months I had some issues when it died before the alarm went off, hence the new device. I do miss the fingerprint reader and 3D touch though.
