  2. Computer Question/Opinion

    Since you are wanting a desktop, and not a laptop, I would suggest seeing if there is a reputable local PC repair shop in your town.  They can build a custom desktop in your price range, with better parts than you would get from the big manufactures. Wish I lived near you, I would put one together for free, just the price of parts.

  4. Quick Rant.....

    Our district has a huge "Career Acadamy" that is a arm of the High School.  It's like a dream workshop, big CNC machines, 3D Printers, HVAC, Carpentry, Robotics, Electronics, Automotive, Welding, and more. It's pretty awesome. It's on the same grounds has the HS, and is really popular with the students.  

     

    Having 2 boys, who also have a lot of friends, actually enjoy "working with their hands".  In fact, one of his buddies replaced the transmission in his truck.  I understand, that it may not be has big as it once was, but there are still plenty of kids that like to get their hands dirty.  There is a pretty big "Maker" movement out there too.

     

    Just my 2 pennies on the subject, and I am sure it is a regional thing to.

    I don't have a magic coffee table, but I do have this magic basket in the bathroom.  Every time it gets full, it empties itself, and every thing that was in it, ends up clean.

  9. Any Interest?

    Good Day Crew!

     

    Is there any interest in watching folks live stream from their workshop, while they are working on projects?  I been tossing around the idea, of using Twitch, Periscope, or some other streaming options, and stream my shop time. I am looking into the possibility of having multiple cameras, and some sort of display, to monitor and interact with with the audience.  I kinda fell out of love with creating YouTube Videos, although I do plan on making some here and there. 

     

    I have a bunch of projects lined up for my Grandson, and I would like to share, but not sure I want to invest the time it takes to setup shots for a videos. So, I was thinking I could just live stream it, and maybe just upload the live stream.  I do like video editing in Final Cut Pro, but setting up camera angles does take quite a bit of shop time.

    The thing with battery tech, the tool companies, from what I understand doesn't really "invent" anything.  They just use what the suppliers have available, although the Flex-Volt stuff is pretty neat in the way it uses those batteries.  From what I learned from AvE teardown, the batteries are just Panasonic, Samsung, or some other company.

  18. Dream truck or car

    We had a thread like this a few years ago I think. But my dream ride would be a mid 70s Chevy truck body on a modern Chevy chassis. Something about those square bodies I absolutely love! It would be a toss-up between Chevy Orange or completely flat/mat black, completely blacked out, stealth style.

    I was under the impression that farmers were used as an added benefit to it similar to aiding school children walking to school and summer vacation. BUT the real reason was for energy saving for artificial light. Which is pointless now because we're a nation that is moving 24-hours a day. Lighting is also more efficient than it has been ever before. It's time to end this stupid practice.

     

    It's also dumb that most places force bars to close at 2am. I'm not fond of it because I'm used to bars closing at 3am in Tampa but that's for another rant.

    That's why back in the day, when bars closed at 2am in Wisconsin, we would head to Chicago, were the bars closed after 5am. Then back to Wisconsin where bars opened at 6am LOL.

     

    Please Note: this was a long long time ago, things were different back then.

    What an awesome game!!! Not that big into sports, however I was rooting for the Cubs! Great memories of going to Wrigley. Maybe The Brewers will return to the World Series some year.
