#413293 Are You Going To Vote?

Posted by d15a3power on 25 October 2008 - 01:42 AM in Off-Topic

Yes, vote. But first take some time to get informed on all the issues & offices.

Most importantly, participatory democracy can best be practiced by dialogue with the opposition(s). I mean this on an everyday level.
Summon the courage & talk to someone who supports the other candidate like the fellow citizen they are.

Just try to keep it civilized & I guarantee you that you'll learn something or teach them something.



#411305 Digital Dashes

Posted by d15a3power on 10 October 2008 - 03:01 AM in General Posts

QUOTE (Screech @ Oct 9 2008, 12:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I just did some more research/math and my first guess based on 2548 pulses per Km and 4000 pulses per mile from a VSS makes me think that if you multipled the time between each pulse by about 1.57 you would trick the display into showing miles on a display for Km. The input pulses at 1MPH should be 4000/hour, but the output to the display should only be 2548/hour so it would show 1Km while going 1MPH. Sounds like a really, really simple curcuit.


Edit: I also think it would be important to include a switch to disable the curcuit or to change to multiplier to 1 so that the dash displays KM as it would without the curcuit. Also, is the odometer on this dash mechanical like normal clusters or is it digital? If digital, that could pose a problem it keeping track of miles/KM on the chassis.



The odo isn't digital & is in Km.

It's not that hard getting used to km--- 40km~25mi, 100k=62m or 10k=6.2mi.

Fun scaring people riding with & baffling the guy @ echeck ( yer speedometer's broke!)



#407197 Sarah Palin

Posted by d15a3power on 06 September 2008 - 03:55 AM in Off-Topic

Well....

I'm a conservative. My vote matters since I live in Ohio (swing state).

Palin does make me happy. She reminds me of a "Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington" type. I love how she put the governor's jet plane on Ebay! Very compelling life story, many successful reforms. Energetic, determined, attractive. Truthfuly, I think maybe I could be developing a slight crush on her.... ph34r.gif



#401353 Fun Game To Play When Bored!

Posted by d15a3power on 25 July 2008 - 02:53 AM in Off-Topic

Well...liquidity is a bank. At 4% interest, your investment would double every 18 days. ( 4% is being "respected", normal rate is 2%, which doubles in 35 days) Does the gang vault even earn interest??? Silly that it would when you think about it...

I would advise keeping a % liquid, with the majority in stocks bought only at 15-18 range. Remember that patience even more here...

Hey remember "bank in the tank"? Have you seen the price lately? 388! That's 20x the original investment! How many months has that been?

Hey, Games is currently priced at that magic buy price if anyone cares...

Three rules:

Buy as much as you can at 15. Anything, anytime.

Be patient.

Sell only when you have a chance to buy at 15.

Hey -- change of subject but does anyone understand the new stock limitations? "... $1B per transaction..."

Does it affect sales?

edit: 7/22/2008

It only affects buying. Will the last one out of the thread please turn the light off? Thanks!

i like how they totally whored out the points --- 1/2 price? I don't have time to use the points i already have!

they de-pantsed Rederneck by telling all his stats! I'd be pissd!

notice our houses also have higher multipliers?

nobody must be buying upgrades....



#398425 Overheating

Posted by d15a3power on 05 July 2008 - 11:50 PM in 1G CRX

I jumped the temp switch with a paperclip as suggested. It will still get to nearly overheating, but at least the A/C doesn't have to be on all the time.

The temp is fine at speeds over 30mph or so. To answer the question, no it doesn't overheat on the highway with the A/C off.

The concern is that the fan doesn't seem to be as effective as it should be...it won't drop the temp like moving at 30+ does.



#398369 55mph Speed Limit

Posted by d15a3power on 05 July 2008 - 04:27 PM in Off-Topic

I'm no fan of gov't regulation: (BUT....)

55mph proposal is due to the outcry to do something that "fixes" things now. (relatively) Low cost. There was a proposal to fund a study to determine the most efficient speed, but that isn't NOW.

People scream & cry for SOMETHING ( not knowing exactly what) & this is what they get. Rehashed solutions.

55mph would only work if that was the geeneral flow of traffic-- a range of 50 to 80 is too unsafe-- so the law is needed IF this is what people want...

Since stop & go drivng is less efficient, you would think they would work of that--- make lights go longer so there are less stops & ask people to turn their cars off at these now longer stops is an idea but maybe not a solution....

A massive educational campaign on efficient driving tips would be a logical starting point....



#398298 Overheating

Posted by d15a3power on 04 July 2008 - 08:07 PM in 1G CRX

Well, I couldn't get to the fan switch, so I simply left the A/C on & drove. ( The fan stayed on) It's only like 75F today. I've done this plenty of times & the temp stayed in the middle.

I drove down the highway & it stayed in the middle. When I got home, the temp rose to nearly overheating-- not quite as fast as when the fan was off.

I turned the car off & let it sit for 15 min. I started it & let it run again w/ the A/C on & it got hot but not quite to overheating. The idle kept kicking up & down every 10 sec. or so. There seems to be flow thru the top radiator hose.

Is the consensus still that it's just the fan switch?



#397989 Overheating

Posted by d15a3power on 02 July 2008 - 01:54 PM in 1G CRX

Thanks for the advice-- I'll try to check this out tomorrow. I work till 3:30am, so it's hard to find daylight time to check this out.

The main reason I was thinking thermostat is that when the fan does come on, the temp doesn't go down-- it's like the hot engine coolant isn't getting to the radiator. I also got advice to feel the main hose for flow...



#397801 Overheating

Posted by d15a3power on 01 July 2008 - 02:48 PM in 1G CRX

OK, the oil & antifreeze look fine. I had the radiator power-flushed 1000 miles ago.

Idle kicks down after it warms up & idles smoothly.

The radiator fan never turns on, even when the temp is near red-line. The fuse is fine. It only comes on when I turn on the A/C. Even then, the temp never falls; I tried turning on the heat, but still the temp never falls. It only falls when the car is moving fast....

I hope its a thermostat-- I had electrical issues with the A/C before & throwing relays at the car got to be expensive....

Any ideas?



#396606 Socal Fire Season Has Started

hmmm... maybe its rednecks setting fires in retaliation


OK, I'll be a little more direct-- these have been called "upprecedented" lightning storms.

I don't ever recall hundreds of fires....maybe Someone is throwing lightning bolts because He doesn't like gay marriage.

Maybe this should be voted on again...even though the court overruled the last vote!

Be mad at me all you want, but I didn't start the fires! laugh.gif



#396443 Socal Fire Season Has Started

I thought that was a bit strange-- lightning starts about 400 fires in NorCal up to the Oregon border....

on the same day they allow gay marriages! wink.gif

i have been respecting the so called truce and to be fair, not one from the ASS gang has attacked me online or off. i'm just busy trying to get a hang of the stock market and mugging that pesky glalle9921 everytime i can until he attacks me and puts himself in the hospital....

on a different note anyone know our status against OC? i attack one of their members regularly (offline ofcourse) for EXP points. and then when the top dog 14u2nv gets online he goes and attacks me online or not.


Try to talk to him 1st, then ms one of us stronger members while we're online & we'll git him. No reason to be bullied by a cut-rate gang!

Does this log show only online attacks, or both on/ off? But since you asked, ASS feels that they haven't attacked online, thereby holding up their end. Ghost agreed to a two week truce. Being the leader, I thought everyone would respect his decision regardless of personal feelings. That's why I told ASS ok. Should disagreements be worked out within the gang before unilateral action? You guys decide. I stated earlier, I was simply trying to help the members who aren't strong enough/ can't avoid attacks. No personal gain. I don't want to come across as the heavy, just trying to help.

I'm confused about said truce. It's on, it's off. I think it's no online hits? Gump said something about only two online hits a day??? I don't think this "truce" has been clearly outlined. Maybe it needs to be no online hits - oh and must have been active in the last 15 minutes to avoid the always online guys? It's just a game.

RE: clarity, I felt the terms were clear & concise.
If you guys want the truce to stick, everyone needs to be on board with it. Again, I'm unaffected whether its on or off. I was just trying to think of the members who are affected by online attacks in negotiating the agreement. Maybe you guys can remind the others to stick to it?
