Yeah I only found out recently because I had thought that it’d been an oddly long amount of time since the last update. Went to check for updates and the button was gone, so I flew over to the github page and saw the announcement lol

Which was discontinued, use Mihon instead, it’s an active Tachiyomi fork

A custom head + rotary valve train, the EJ25 uses standard valves with a standard cam design, this is fine, but rotary valves have their own advantages and disadvantages that I think would be fun to tinker with. Unlike a regular valve, rotary valves don’t have springs, therefore they don’t experience the “valve float” that standard valves experience at higher RPM’s, allowing you to rev to very fast engine speeds. They also give better fuel economy since they are much lower resistance, standard valves have to overcome the force of each spring in order to open, rotary valves are just a hole. Rotary valves are also non-interference, and if I blew the timing belt, it wouldn’t destroy the engine

I’d also just like to be able to make shit out of metal, it’s a brainworm of mine I’ve had forever

I’ve been wanting to learn how to work with metal for a while now, my current long time goal is to get good enough to make a rotary valve train for my Subaru motor. I’ve been absorbing a lot of information about how engines work and how these parts interact I’m just missing all the practical knowledge for it.

Im the smartest dumbass I know

Same but with a Vega APU, also love it when it merges the console screen with whatever was on there bufore suspend and it’s just a text graphics rainbow mess

Kinda weird, is the first gen Vega Apu different enough to not have these problems? Cause I’ve been pushing that thing hard enough it’s starting to have actual hardware faults, very rarely had software related crashes that couldn’t be resolved with a temporary kernal rollback

They’re all aight, but avoid asus like the plague, they don’t last very long and have tons of incompatibilities with linux. I’ve only had mine for 3 years and it already needs a new mobo as the pci lanes for wifi and bluetooth suddenly died

the oldest is one of my portable cassette recorders, a very early GE model that is in near perfect condition. It’s so early on it doesn’t have much info online, and seems to be rare, but unwanted.

The one im the most proud of is my IBM LexMark model M keyboard, It’s older than me, abused to hell, modified, and is still my daily driver because it’s so comfortable

Freakishly warm today in the midwest too, raining warm rain too, very odd weather for winter season

Fucking UPS with the same garbage, the form for changing your address was broken and would display an error, the phone call support refused to help and told me to “just use the online form”. I wocked around it by opening the form, pressing the back button, opening it again, and then it would display properly… Just to change a single fucking number in the apartment unit category. Those are 2 hours of my life I’m never getting back.

Nice, getting pretty iffed with the way neafotch refuses to align the category titles without special bash scripting

There’s a video from the YouTuber Noodle who does a good job explaining it

A raccoon ran straight into my window at midnight, that was spooky as fuck

If you think Super Meat Boy is hard oh boy do I have one for you.

The End Is Nigh is also an Edmund McMullen platformer, but with a much higher emphasis on precision. The game is technically short, but there are just so many easy ways to die that you have to get good to beat it.

It also has a little modding community that has produced some even more nightmarish levels to go along with it.

Never in my life have I been more invested in a show than this one

Nebraska is the exception, this state has some of the weirdest price of living to wage ratios. For example, in my town you cannot find a job that pays more than minimum wage without commuting to the other towns around you. But the rent is set at a point where you would need to work for $16 to $20 an hour to afford roof AND food. Wild stuff

And if I really hit that accelerator like people want me to, the thing slips, stops, and then suddenly engages full force and I burn out. So that’s not much safer either

I have no choice but to do this in my current car, the transmission is fucked and if I accelerate too fast it slips and I don’t go any faster. So I slowly go to the speed limit and slowly slow to a slow stop

I have dreams where I’m stressing so much that I grind my teeth, and then they start crumbling and everytime I chew I break my teeth apart more
