1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

First of many I'm guessing.
Billions of dollars go boom.

 

I guess if it sits too long, I had that happen on my old scion way back when and it never fully removed the stains. But it was stuck on there for awhile before attempting to clean it

 

The good thing about SpaceX doing the testing is that it will cost taxpayers less in the end, if NASA were doing it all on their own we'd be footing that bill


but yeah, imagine having that kind of money to just throw at building spaceships to blow up for experimental purposes lol.

 

I used a MAP gas torch for preheat lol. We've got oxyfuel here but bossman doesn't want to buy another setup for the new shop so I'm seeing how well I can do with limited resources

 

yeah its fairly acidic like bird poop, it'll etch clear coat

 

If you have a shop bbq wrap it in foil and leave it on the grill for preheat and cool down lol

 

One good thing with oaks is they don't drop that. Tons of leaves, pollen and catkins, which are the worst part. They looks like below and build up and find their way into everything.

 

I mean.... ol musty boi has already gotten 5.5B from taxpayers

 

Only reason why I don't own it is because of the initial expense.

My 150 CF bottle cost me $300 full when I first bought it, fortunately it's only $57 to fill each time.

Only reason why I have a second one is because I bartered for it.

Even in the used market people are asking over $500 for both tanks. Would hate to see what it costs new especially since I don't expect to use it more than twice a year or so.

 

Good luck. My buddy is looking for the exact same thing in the same area currently. No luck going on 4 months now. Thats where everyone wants to move to. If you dont mind a drive, Daleville is another option to the north. Or Rocky Mount on the south side.

 

does that mean I own a part of Twitter

 

Right? I saw someone comment that going to the investors must be interesting. We need XX amount of money to build the ships but by the way we need XX more because we have to blow a bunch up first during testing.

 

Damn that's lowkey redneck genius.


I did put the manifold in the toaster oven at max temp to try and release heat stress points lol. Don't know if it actually did anything but my instinct said better safe than sorry

 

It's going to be pretty crazy to see what we're doing with space travel and shit in the next few decades. I mean, assuming we don't end up pressing the hard reset button on ourselves between now and then and ending up back in the Stone Age

 

Sometimes getting things done well transcends doing things the "right" way lol

 

Oof, that's rough. Thanks for the heads up. I was hopeful given how many houses for rent we've seen

 

Story. Of. My. Life.

 

Yeah I think it'll be cool to see. As much as I enjoy seeing everything the industry is up to and the cool stuff that might be coming...if space tourism becomes relatively convenient I still don't have an urge to hop on a ship for a tour. I think I'd be super claustrophobic. Luckily we're a long way off from that reality but it's a "what if," that's popped in my head.

 

oh man I would totally do it, but only if tickets get down to normal airline pricing and not the $50million they are anticipating it will cost for a flight into orbit lol.

I think just the "standard" up/down prices that celebrities are doing is like 250k

 

Just stop being poor
