    How about built, clean, and on factory 34s? https://jalopnik.com/a-ridiculously-detailed-look-at-why-the-rivian-r1t-elec-1847749837

    Jalopnik wrote up some interesting technical comparisons of a quad motor r1t vs a front and rear locked gladiator. Good read

    My little brother got me hooked on the Pokemon gameboy craze back in the 90s, I was a little old for it but him and his friends were all obsessed with it. Ended up playing it on some road trips and got hooked. I don't think I've touched a Gameboy since then

    What a huge difference in brightness -



    Phone adjusted itself even due to the brightness.

    yeah same here, I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons because it promoted "poor family values" according to my mom. My dad would let me watch it with him sometimes but if my mom caught us, woof.

    Once my transparent black shell arrives for my Gameboy Color, and my Gameboy Light, my collection will be done.

    Are you using an inverter or transformer machine?

    Every inverter machine I've welded with welds like crap compared to the coupe transformer units I've used

    Maybe it's all the pumpkins out everywhere, but I've been on a Smashing Pumpkins kick lately. Been years since I've heard some of their stuff

    That ribbon cable is stupid delicate; so is the connector.

    Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab :burp:

    Has always worked for me where I've needed it.

    It's only money

    *insert Tyler's stop being poor pic*

    What are you like 10 :luvya:

    What a dick

    Then again maybe not as bad as my little sister running to the bathroom as a toddler with my Gameboy in her hand (all while laughing and giggling) and tossing it into a partially filled bathtub.

    :violent:

    The water was running as my parents were getting it ready to give her a bath.

    I spent a shit ton on the newest and most hard to find Gameboys; they weren't even for me!

    My brother has a huge collection as I always got him one when they'd come out. Now I'm like damn I wish I had them.

    Metroid II on original Gameboy was one of my favorites.

    So glad I never got into Pokemon.

    Ha you too?

    My brother was huge into Pokemon whereas I was a Metroid/Zelda fanboy.

    Give transformers a shot, the initial arc has more power behind it and doesn't feel like a harbor freight electric pressure washer trying to clean a greasy engine bay

    Not sure what machines we have are transformer-based.

    Don't want to mess with other stations as 2-3 currently are set on TIG, 3-4 on stick, another 2-3 machines are smaller MIG only, and the rest are on MIG.

    We each have our own station/machine we work on.

    It's stronger than you think. I used to replace laptop screens and motherboards and such, so I'm no stranger to ribbon cables

    I'm a fan of Tweco when it comes to consumables and guns for larger machines. The 600a unit I used for welding oil drilling rig chucks was comfort fit and had a brace so you could one hand it (was squirting 1/16" wire)

    You think that's bad, my mom went full Karen and pulled me out of daycare because they dared play Harry Potter one day
