  1. Gel are supposed to be better than AGM but working with them in real world the AGMs have proven to be more durable, hold charges better and cheaper.

     

    It's because charging batteries produces gas. In a gel battery, the gas bubbles sit between the plates and the gel, then there is no more chemical reaction. The battery dies, even though everything in the battery is still "good". They stopped using gel cells years ago in my industry but a lot of people still use the term; they're just talking about AGM batteries.

     

    I will always prefer a wet cell over AGM, AGM over gel.

  2. Ground loops typically only effect control/low voltage things or electronic devices.

     

    Normally on higher voltage things you really cant have too many grounds.... it all goes to the same place.

     

    I disagree. I had a ground loop on industrial equipment where we had 90A going through the (grounded) conduit because the neutral opened. If this was happening, and the path was resistive, it becomes a series resistive circuit that effects the load very much.

  3. That would be cool. (RE: Documentation)

     

    I used to have a bunch of wiring diagrams and stuff but I think they were lost in the move. I can't find them. Sorry. If I run across them I'll let you know!

  4. You can see the block when you look straight on, and the center gear between the two larger gears has a clear view of the top. those are straight cut. It probably is just noisy. They could be using individual dampeners, or metal matrix gears?
  5. I feel like that post was screaming "hey everyone look ive got an Aston Martin. "

     

    It did, and when you measure two totally different items using the same criteria, one will fall short.

     

    We could write the same article but compare utility and cost of ownership. The article would be skewed in favor of the minivan.

  6. 2nd picture: are the fake quarter-panel vents installed backwards?

     

    3rd picture: are the foglights in the grille $9 Tractor Supply lights I installed on a Cub Cadet mower?

     

    They shouldn't be foglights, that's where the high beams go on a '69.

     

     

     

    Ackbar, I might have a bunch of documentation on '69s if you want copies. In the pic of you and your brother, which one is you?

  7. Girlfriend is selling her Subaru. We need a van. 91k miles, remote start, heated seats. Click the Craigslist ad for more.

     

    Unfortunately the car is not in OH, but I would deliver it.

     

    CR Price $12,500.

     

    Images are linked from CL, let me know if they don't display!

  8. I really should just get the audio books and listen, because no way I can sit and read them. LOL

     

    Watch these videos to answer book questions. This chick is awesome (comicbookgirl19).

  9. Apparently some scenes are being reshot since Batman vs Superman was being ripped on so bad. They're changing the parts that seem too dark and gloomy to make them have some humor

     

    If they're changing it due to B vs S they should ensure continuity and character development. That would've made me happier.

  10. I'm sure there are people who would have them, I know because I have them with some members of this board in real life, but they get drowned out or bullied into hiding by the vast majority who have an overwhelming need to just spew hatred for sport.

     

    It's unlikely that you have had these arguments with members of CR. Not because they are incapable of intellectual argument, but because you are. Just because you argue does not make you intellectual.

  11. Mojoe is upset because he posts quality advice when asked and when his advice is ignored, he feels he wasted time trying to help someone who had the ability to help themselves had they listened. It's tiring.

     

    Geeto is NOT upset because he is used to people ignoring his unsolicited opinion, because it is stupid and people don't like him.

  12. How does this directly effect me?

     

    It cannot. It can only affect you.

     

    Its election time. If a republican wins, expect to see record numbers again.

     

    Record recession numbers? Agreed. Starting with Eisenhower, a recession has hit the US after every election where a republican has won.

  13. Brotherly love
