1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Damn.

Straight up damned if you do damned if you don't.

I hear the same song everywhere though unfortunately; you follow protocol by doing what you're supposed to yet everyone else is fucking up that process.

At least you didn't lose that PTO

 

Doom on a pregnancy test

 

I saw that lol. What a world we live in.

 

Actually that’s a teensy 3.2 on the breadboard hooked up via serial pins. I wonder what it’s doing, maybe loading software.

 

I just figured it was driving the display via serial and that the pregnancy test was otherwise not in use for it's other hardware

 

I am significantly less impressed

 

@BartMaster1234 - the good ol' days of innocence

 

One of my first threads was asking about getting a CEL and wondering if anyone knew what was wrong, with no info to go off of and no code pulled. We all came from somewhere lol.

*btw I don't claim to be much more competent now compared to some, but definitely came a long way thanks to TW

 

Absolutely. I just happened to be searching manual hub threads (trying to track down the hardware which bolts the lockout to the hub since its not included) and came across tyler's post. Thought it was worth sharing here. Wasn't trying to poke fun at him

We should all take a min and look up our own early posts haahaha

 

This place (and to a lesser extent ExPo and MUD) has taught me so much and I still feel like an idiot a lot of the time, but I’m leagues ahead of where I used to be, which is great for someone who didn’t grow up working on vehicles.

 

You should’ve seen what I almost posted as my first post.

“How do I know if my truck is 4WD”

 

My high school graduation hat LED matrix was run by a Teensy 3.2.

 

The male college kid roommate bailed and broke the lease today. The remainder of this lease will be a financial strain lol.

 

But the guy who did it is named Turing? That must be worth something.

Digital pregnancy tests are a joke. Literally a digital façade over a regular analog test strip for like 10x the cost.

Curiously, when I went to double-check that just now, these were the first two hits, in order. Both of them are based on the Doom guy's work, just different spins.

Number 1: "Digital pregnancy tests are almost as powerful as the original IBM PC" https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2020/9/4/21422628/digital-pregnancy-test-teardown-processor-ram-ibm-pc

Number 2: "This Teardown Proves That Digital Pregnancy Tests Are Little More Than Gimmicks" https://www.hackster.io/news/this-t...ts-are-little-more-than-gimmicks-e9e4b35834c6

 

I had been one of those creepers for a long time lurking in the shadows of the forum before creating an acct and posting.

My first post - Jun 26, 2014
Oh and I still have that Nissan GunMetal Extender (in storage) and that aFe is still in the airbox. Cup holder inserts are still doing fine, shifter bulb still good.

 

Looks like an old Lite Brite game from when I was a kid, memories...





I should see if those are still available for my daughter

 

Wow, that's old. 1980's wasn't it?

I bought one pixel of a giant LED billboard. This is what they make those basketball arena jumbotrons out of, hundreds of these.

 

Not that bad considering the market right now.

 

First came out in the 60s I think actually. But it was popular in the 80s I remember. My grandparents had one that we always fought over at their place
