I had a Mazda MX-6 as my first car. Not super rare but I've only ever seen 2 other ones.

Currently I have an 09 Lexus GS460. Only 1600 total built and only 56 in 2009 so it's exceptionally rare but no one cares.

Turns out a $65000 V8 sedan didn't sell well when gas was $4/gal and the economy was in shambles.

What speedometer reads in decimal divisions?

Not to mention that they make helium leak detectors. I'm not an expert but I built a helium tight 60000psi system a couple weeks ago first try. Granted it didn't have to survive a trip on a rocket.

AM is ante meridian and PM is post meridian. It's referenced to the prime meridian through Greenwich UK. If the sun is to the east of the line (ie. Before noon where it is vertical) it's before (ante) the meridian. If it's after (post) noon it's after the meridian. It's all outdated but that's how time works.

Yeah WD 40 is great for adhesive removal. I used it all the time on materials that can't stand up to acetone or harder solvents. Just wash with IPA or dish soap after so you don't have slippery shoes.

35 miles. Takes about 45 minutes. Mostly listening to podcasts and preparing or decompressing. I don't mind the drive. No traffic and it's through the national forest. But I do hate buying gas.

2kwH is worth about $0.18 here. I'd have to charge it ~19,500 times to offset the cost in electricity.

It is from a Linux event

They better not store my credit card numbers in a database somewhere.

I think it was more of a thing back in the 70s and before.

I'd put chupacabra on Texas too. Lake worth monster is a super local thing, and most people call him the goat man cause he lives on goat island in lake worth. I used to live a mile from that lake and still never really heard of it.

I mean, collecting only nazi stuff is weird. But I'm into history and if I had a bunch of other older military things I wouldn't think it was weird to have an old nazi badge or something. Not to praise it or anything but it's a real part of history.
