1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Pretty cool inversion layer this morning.

 

The one store where they had more employees than customers

Gotta say, I lucked out many times on my visits out there

 

This is a great chart representation of Moore's Law. With all your favorite SOC's and GPU's labeled. Funniest thing is if you go back to 1980 through present you will find a ton of articles on why Moore's Law would never keep going. lol

 

I have no orders this week; anyone going to need anything cut?

 

When you're above it anyway

 

it was thick in some spots

 

I decided to get a new game for the PC since MSFS is only so fun. Got GTA V since it was only $10. Realized I should've gotten red dead instead lol at least this will entertain me for a bit

 

Holy fucking boomer; no wonder a lot of people blame their CNC table and/or programming for everything.

Just offered to help someone on their file. Some people pay/tip me others don't but it's ok cause I'm just offering help.

Dude couldn't figure out how to even save or export it so I sent screenshots of three different ways.

Then he said he can't compress it into a zip, so I had to show him how Windows can do that for you as well.

He should've stuck to a hacksaw instead.

 

It can be a bit raunchy but I'll say, you will enjoy much of the storyline/dialog as it's just stupid funny.

 

Have him download WinZip if he is old he may get that reference.

 

He's still on the CAD program part of it, I can't trust him to download any more 3rd party software

 

I played it on the Xbox, figured it would be worth revisiting a few years later. I just want to be a cowboy lol

3 emailed files later, it's up to him now to use it and create his own cut profile

10 second fix, but man...he even had it on the wrong plane

 

Well fuck, he paid me for helping. Legit.

 

@Ozark_RegCab I'm tired of the whining about the 70 series not being sent to US. There would be a few niche sales for the first year or two. It would cause a huge expense to the parts and service organizations to support a platform with nothing in common with any other Toyota in the US. I've lived long enough to see two diesel crazes come and go in the US. There will always be a use case for a heavy load hauling diesel.

I had an MB 5-cyl TD back when everybody around WLR and Kavanaugh wanted to be driving one. I was so glad to get rid of this damn oil burner. I got in and out of it without losing any money. It had a very well-made body and was comfortable. A lot of people drove them for the look. In reality, it was a pain in the ass.

 

We've owned (3) 2000's era MB diesels. It took them a long time to get the formula juuust right, IMO.
My wife had a 2006 E320 cdi for about 8 years. Wonderful car. I really think the W211 was the last of the good mid-sizers, especially pre-facelift. Really shoulda kept that one for posterity.


But on the other side of the equation, My 2008 ML diesel was a total POS. Electronic problems so bad that Mercedes got me out of the car without having to go through the Lemon process.

 

Why do you say it was a pita?

 

Slow as shit on take off. Then the power steering bracket and other parts would crack from the vibration. The vibrations and noise were fun in the beginning. Eventually, I wanted to return to smooth power.
