@papabear It's ok to close this and start the vote thread I assume?

I honestly don't buy crypto. I just mine it. I use the miners during the winter to heat my home and office. I can use kwh to warm up heating elements. Or I can use kwh to run the miners to also make heat. I choose to run the miners to get something out of "making heat".

Can I educate a little? There's a great misconception that crypto will vanish at the push of a button. But that's not how it works. It's decentralized. Just like the internet is. Now, if your assets are held in a exchange and not a cold wallet, then absolutely you could stand to lose them...

I dislike how this is all being pushed as well. It should be incentivized to spur on things. Carrot and stick thing. Seems to be all stick though. I will say that I dislike the $100 fill ups of my Jeep Gladiator Ecodiesel. I would have a EV if I didn't live in a rural area and was able to...

Interesting. I thought perhaps it worked like the old International/McCormic tractors that started on gas and swapped over to diesel. They simply used an extra valve that allowed the gas side of things to work by increasing the combustion chamber volume (and hid the spark plug away from the...

Urethane. I don't think the rubber seals are available. And the urethane is probably the better option anyhow.

I piddled a little yesterday at lunch over at @Spot_ll 's we managed to get the drivers window reinstalled with the new glass. And the windshield is sealed in the frame. Also got the other crusty frame primed. But there's rain today. Tomorrow I have to go into the office. So maybe Thursday...

There's always going to be a limitation by physics. At least in the current battery construction. Supercapacitors though, that might be the answer, or a hybrid of a battery and supercapacitor to increase the speed of charging. The hows of the vehicle charging/range/exc. are just one part of...

Oh 120v charging would take a day or longer. 240v charging would be best for home. And maybe use 120 to top off a work.

But that's from a commercial charging station. I pay $0.11 per KWH here at home. So that's only $35.75 at home. Not knocking the commercial stations, they've gotta make a profit. But it'd be wise to only charge at home or where you can avoid a "retail" outlet.

I wonder how the hydraulic variable compression worked.

Depends on the parts. There are a number of parts that are available. But there's also a number of parts that simply are not available for any amount of money there is. (Parking brake cables I know are non-existent, I ended up having to make replacements) Being in the US, you'll also have...

I want to say I gave $3500 for mine back in 2007. But over the years I'd put a great deal into it. And right now it's been repainted. And I'm about to put a lot more into it. (Power steering, major brake upgrade) Looks like "junkers" are bringing $4500 and up in my area. I'm not saying...

I'd guess they have a bot looking as well as simply targeting the classifieds section.

There are disc brakes out there for them. But I'm much more interested in having dual circuit for safety. The drum brakes are completely suitable to stop the truck. Now, upkeep, they probably would be easier to deal with. I think there's several threads about disc brake conversions. I wouldn't...

The MC part number I ordered is MC39577 (It was on page 2 of this thread). I don't have a part number for the hydromax, as it was a used unit off ebay from a International truck. The only downside to that unit is that it's a 12v unit. I plan to just plug it between the batteries though. As...

So it's no lie that I work hard to try to keep scammers at bay from here. The level of scrutiny and hoops I make them jump through had made the site a not worth while target since I effectively took away their means to message people. Well, they've figured a way around it. They don't even...

The scammer registered here as Rock12. But was never approved. I've figured out what happened. The scammer is watching the classifieds and saw where the other person emailed had posted his email address in a thread for a want ad. The scammer basically went completely around all the means...

I reservered a cabin, will have extra beds if anyone is interested in splitting.
