Chainsaws are no joke, shitty.

 

What in the actual fuck

 

My grandpa lost half his thumb because of a chain saw

 

My dad and his friends would take the bullet off a .22lr round and scrub soap over the now exposed shell. They would then proceed to run around the local town and canyons shooting these soap rounds at each other. Apparently hurt like a mother to get hit with a molten hot soap round, surprisingly no one lost an eye or got the cops called on them. Oh by the way, the town and canyons they were running around in were home to one of the US's most advanced (read high security) labs.

 

Stupid question time, if I somehow managed to get a pre-runner rear axle with an e-locker could I use that same axle and e-locker for my 4x4 conversion?

 

yeah like really early paintball. As you can imagine accuracy went to shit in short order, as the soap has the same ballistics and monkey flung poo.

 

Ooohhhh that sounds fun. The hell with paintball, I want to do that. We always played with sim rounds. Fucking tumbling POS rounds hurt sooooooo much worse than when they were flying straight.

 

Hmm interesting.

What platform did we have that had double barrels, shit sounds awesome? I got trained on the Remington 870 by the Air Force and the Marines were kind enough to give me a familiarization course on their Beneli M4s.

 

Also by the way PS VUE > DirecTV Now, just switched over.

 

Ah okay, that means it was actually fun then lol. The military has a unique way of taking the fun out of any situation.

 

Still can get it for free. I have a digital antenna connected to my network so can watch local channels on anything on my home network, get all the big local channels in awesome quality. Pay for the bottom tier of an IP based tv network so can use the apps to watch a few shows that are on the non big name broadcaster networks and sports.

I also have a home server setup. So just pipe the live TV signal to that and it functions as a home DVR, it also handles my PLEX library, my own private cloud server, time machine backup for our macs, email and web server, and a few other odd jobs.

 

Add in one of these and makes it getting to any smart TV or device (apple tv, Roku, shield, etc) stupid easy. https://www.silicondust.com/

 

If you are running a new AC band wifi router or hardwired or using in combo with a powerful plex sever, go with the connect model. If your wifi isn't particularly strong go with the extend (it will reduce the file size on the fly on the device itself versus just pumping the full size files across the network like the connect models).

 

These things take the digital TV signal from the antenna and then serve it up to your local network (wifi and ethernet). If everything is hardwired so say Apple TV and the HD connect are both connected to the router via ethernet cable, then it's fine as there isn't a bandwidth issue. If you are using the new(ish) AC band on a wifi router, it can usually handle the traffic without issue as well. If the signal is going to a home Plex Server (usually small PC or something like the nVidia shield) it will process the raw signal and then send it back out in a condensed form (which is easier to handle on slower wifi connections). If none of the above are true, then the wifi network probably can't handle the raw file sizes the antenna is sending without buffering and it generally looking like crap. The HD extend basically reduces the file sizes down to something that is much easier on your network, the quality is downgraded but not a huge amount.

If none of this makes sense, the extend is likely to ensure you won't have an issue at the expense of a slighly reduced picture quality.

 

Computers are easy. Truck wiring and vacuum lines are scary.

 

I don't know how to use my truck, so call it square lol?

 

Yeah. As long as the front and rear gear ratio match.

@stinger86
Shoot if you even got a e locker 3rd you can stick it in a stock 8” axel if you modify the housinng

 

I have a spare elocker 3rd... and soon I’ll have a 8” axle...
