I never imagined that the Stihl 070 chainsaw was so big! Must be 2strokestages.
Nah, gas turbine.

I was going to ask "why", but I think we all know the answer to that. :lol:

Wonderful, what a beautiful sound!.
The clones of Stihl and other brands in my country are majority. It is very common to see in the online stores of our country false products, most of the time flagrant fakes.
At least this UCGO charge is not going to be a fake, it's going to be a collectible chainsaw:
How beautiful was the old Stihl logo!

Oh wait, are we posting crazy ridonkulous chainsaws now? I often like to imagine a contest between Americans and Russians to see whose rednecks can build the coolest stuff. I can imagine the Russians winning with a nuclear-powered chainsaw...

Matt Plog is really one of the more discussed artists in the BattleTech franchise, but this space station is really a cute sight:

ClassicShell is quite helpful with that. Well, should definitively be part of Win10. Let the user choose !
Oh and I was flying a bit of DCS with the Su25T. Really new to that. That IR sensor is efficient, but not exactly pilot-friendly. That plane could use a gunner/navigator seat. Anyways, I was like "hehe let's surprise those tanks with an "handbrake turn" using airbrakes". I was flying over 800 km/h. Weird noise, then found the turn radius really disapointing. And then no way to retract the airbrakes. Still performed my attack run, but given an harder and harder roll to left, accuracy was near zero. Then I noticed I snapped the right wing tip during the turn and was running out of hydraulic fluid. Duh. Eject. :bailout:

Can someone explain to me why this company thought it was a good idea to name their product "Soylent"? :lol:

I'm pretty sure i've asked, but can't remember what the answer was...
The thing itself looked far from appetizing, that much i remember.

my car got damaged in the company garage, now I have the fun. Waiting in line for the service desk hotline, insurances etc.... I already hate it, it was way easier to handle about 20 years ago, when I just called my insurance agent directly and everything got handled by the insurances...

And more joy... half of the front bumper deformed and damaged, full replacement needed, costs 1300€ and that's quite a bargain according to the mechanic. It can already exceed 1900€ on a VW Golf with all sensors and lights including ACC.

What's with car parts and insane prices these days?
A few years ago the rear view camera broke on my Hyundai, and a replacement was going to be $500 official or $300 from China.
I took it apart, fixed $1 worth of a problem (corrosion on the PCB due to bad seal), and it worked ever since.
A deformed front bumper sounds like a hammer job, or at worst a new $10 piece of metal/plastic and a few minutes to move all the wiring over to it.

Its a plastic component, so a hammer won't make it better. Also its a painted part, which again makes it harder to fix. Also the ultrasonic sensors are part of the bumper assembly it seems.

Ha! My most expensive car-related bill ever (appart from buying a car) was for the front bumper of an SUV that I happened to overlook when reversing out of the parking lot at night. Complete with integrated fog lights and "screen whippers" for the main lights, including a spray system. Darn thing set me back over a thousand bucks...

Random hilarity from the spouse today. She went to the mall to pick up something in a store and a cosmetics store was doing free samples with "professional" cosmeticians applying the makeup. Free is a good price, so she sat down and let them do their thing.
When she got home she burst through the door nearly in tears, made for the paper towels, and started wiping off copious amounts of green eye shadow, black eye liner, and maybe some glitter, all while muttering "They made me look like a
ing whore!"
I just about died laughing.
EDIT: It is maybe funnier if you consider that my wife is of Irish descent, really fair skin and freckles.

So happy with my 1995 Renault "Clio" (got from my grand-father when he stopped driving). The only real electronic thing is the fuel injection (which is very handy, I remember cars you had to fight with to start them in winter). I'll have to get some things fixed soon though. 3/4 of the dashboard lights are dead, meaning you only see half of speed indicator at night. Also the pump engine or maybe the circuit breaker of the windshield cleaner died recently. Gasoline, 63HP. No ABS. Direct steering. Perfect for day-to-day town use. Noisy on the highway, but the 43 liters fuel tank allows to drive 600 kilometers in a go, which wasn't bad for that category of "economic small cars".

Often I just put my computer in sleep mode and only cycle the power every few days. For some reason when I turned it back on today all my passwords had to be reentered on every website I frequent. That was strange and a bit rude.
