  1. I love stuff like this. It looks so intimidating at first but if you have a basic understanding and know what problem you're experiencing... nevermind, I'm going to assuming theres no prior documentation of anything and 34 different guys have already fucked with it :)
    You are correct though, with a decent set of prints, you're much more likely to repair that right away (simple parts, etc..) than you are a mess of a 90's controller like this:

    Or even an old 60's relay logic controller that has been modified/repaired for 50 yrs.f4e44ff0fde6d43b1f8f4070eaf09d8c.jpg6d905b401cbf5f91ba9b06d203da19c6.jpg

  3. There’s an escalator that we power with old leather belts and wooden pulleys to this day. It’s to show the durability of our old parts that were made in the late 1890’s I believe. Even with stretch, there’s a tensioner.
    What company do you work for again?

  4. The other thread had some interest, and politics suck, so:

    Gotta love a job with prints on site [emoji849]fbe736d03a3c76126dd7863ba2a27aee.jpg

    Glad to have them trouble shooting these though:

    Old Otis traction cars with generators and dc motors. These cars run a "pie pan selector" Wich basically runs a set of contacts representing the car, and each disc represents a floor.

    I would try to get better pics, but the machine room is too small!

  6. I used duff in the fall to replace a lightning struck unit, with some upgrades. He was very helpful in getting things setup, and the company did a great /timely job. I was hesitant as I know larger companies can be higher, but I was surprised by the low price.

    FWIW, I used to do a lot of hvac work.

  7. Las minute question. Are there any good liquors available in Indiana that aren't available here? My wife is in Goshen for the day.

  8. He's pretty unbelievable, definitely proving why he got the Heisman.

    Fields shows moments of being great, and has some wheels, but even a lot of the completed passes require the receivers to break stride. Just not quite to that elite level. You have to wonder if a few more games to refine things would have helped.

    Great team none the less, and Bama just puts it on for 4 quarters. It's not out of hand, but they need to make a move quickly.

  9. 1) Because during the BLM protests police were way more violent toward the crowd initially, in many cases instigating the violence. You can't prosecute a suspect for self defense, even against a police officer who is not performing an arrest,

     

    2) Because many could not be identified (funny that masks have that effect)

     

    3) Lots of people were prosecuted.

    from that last article:

    I thank you for an answer relative to my question. I'll read the articles and see if they contain the info I seek. You make/present some valid points/facts.

  10. Hopefully they show up and play a good game. If Sermon can get going against Alabama's line, it'll give Fields a chance. I'm not convinced Fields is the caliber of quarterback to carry this game, but I hope he proves me wrong!!

    Go Bucks!

  11. Well said above.

     

    Emphasis mine on two very important points I hear Trumpers glossing over because it's more convenient for their narrative to do so.

    Here's my take. I don't know what the articles of impeachment that are currently being debated look like, but the draft I read over the weekend laid out a very clear accusation against Trump. Specifically, that he:

     

    1. Made up lies about rampant election fraud, which

    2. Convinced a lot of his supporters that he, Donald Trump, was the true winner of the election and should remain president on 21 Jan. That he

    3. Organized an event, incriminatingly called "STOP THE STEAL," at the White House on the day that the EC was to be certified. And he

    4. Told the mob that he had gathered at the event that he would lead them to the Capitol building in order to do exactly what they gathered there to do, so that he could

    5. Remain in power despite having lost the election.

     

    The facts are not in dispute, even among top Republicans. These top Republicans include, but are not limited to, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, former AG Bill Barr, at least 2 of Trump's few remaining cabinet secretaries, and unofficially (via Lindsay Graham), Trump's own legal counsel and chief of staff.

     

    Since those facts are stipulated to by "both sides," the only thing left to debate is whether or not those facts should result in Trump's removal from office. Personally, it seems insane to me that someone who tried to steal the presidency by force, an effort which resulted in multiple deaths, would be left in control of the nuclear codes or anything else in the executive branch, even for 5 minutes. I can't believe he's still in power right now, although you get the impression from Graham and others that he's basically a cuck in his own White House.

     

     

    You'll notice that nowhere in the above do I mention leftist violence or BLM. The debate is strictly about Trump's actions, and what to do about them, and additionally, what to do about the Republican leadership like Cruz and Hawley who went along with his lies about election fraud and his little charade about objecting to the EC certification. I would like something to happen to those people, but I'm not holding my breath.

     

     

    If you think that specific politicians on the left instigated violence, as the part of your post I quoted suggests, then by all means, level an accusation as succinct as the accusation levied against Trump in the impeachment article and we can debate it. But we need specifics, because I don't know who you're referring to or what specific violence they're responsible for. If your claim is simply that encouraging BLM protests rises to the level of "inciting violence" as the direct attack on the Capitol 5 days ago, then I don't think that claim has much merit, nor does it have any bearing on the impending impeachment. If your claim is that Democrats didn't denounce the violence the led from some BLM marches, then I can provide cites (some are in the previous thread) countering this.

     

    If you think that in general, leftist rabble rousing hasn't been handled with the same level of condemnation that we're now seeing against the right, then I agree 100%. And we can discuss that as well if you'd like. But pointing this out is not a defense of Trump, and it does nothing to address the immediate concern of the fact that we have an insurrection in the White House, still in power, still able to fuck up democracy for another 9 days.

     

    If you think that leftist violence needs to be handled more thoroughly, then now is a chance for Republicans to take the high road and show Democrats how it's done. Impeach Trump, remove him from office, and then sit up on top of Capitol Hill and say, "This is what you should have done when the left was rioting in the streets." Shame the Democrats from a position of moral superiority. But letting a literal insurrectionist get away with violence against our own government because of a general sense of unfairness doesn't make sense to me.

    I did say in my response to another post that I believe there was a lot of instigation by officials on the left during that mess, (so I'll look for documented instances) but that was far from the point I was trying to make. If you look at my original post, I literally said I am not talking about whether either side was right or wrong, or whether Trump or Pelosi or Martin Luther King instigated them to do so. I simply said why were people not prosecuted.

    Illegal is illegal, and I would even go as far as to say that most of the people causing destruction (aside from the monuments being destroyed) was caused by people who could care less about the cause, but were simply opportunists. So why weren't they prosecuted?

     

    It seems you've proven my point though, that this question can't be answered without finger pointing, and "but Trump did that!". Trump is an idiot, but the all or nothing politics of both sides are exhausting.

  12. You're missing the point. Each side has "bad actors", and sane "protesters" following the law. No need to get into proportions of sanity within each group here I don't suppose, but maybe worth considering.

     

    Bottom line is that the president directly requested/directed/instigated what occured at the capitol, called them special people, and then told them that he loved them and that they should go home having mostly concluded the "fight" he requested.

     

    The attempts at "but dah BLM protests" comparisons should be viewed as the distraction attempt they are.

     

    Separate note, but I can't help but ask myself if so many middle-aged men of a certain age would view Nancy Pelosi with near as much hatred and disgust if she were male. Imagine for moment, a Nathan Pelosi if you will, with all the same views/quotes/positions.

    I may in fact be missing your point, but you again flopped it over to explaining why what the conservative group did was bad. Neither of us has denied that, but you haven't explained why the actions of the people this summer weren't just as bad? Were they not instigated also by many left politicians?

    Again, this question was not to justify the actions of these people, but to question why some are prosecuted and others are not. Are we saying that something is less illegal because some appreciate the motivation behind the legal action more than others?

    And just as wags did because in today's political climate you have to, I want to put it out there that I believe Trump is a f****** idiot.

  13. I don't agree in any way with what was done on Jan 6, but I just don't understand how Libs can absolutely overlook the destruction that took place in 2020???

    I'm glad these people are being prosecuted, and I think more people should have been this past summer. You're telling me that illegal actions are justified by the cause? These days the "cause" is usually based on immediate social media rhetoric, as opposed to proven fact.

    I'd rather see the capital building stormed any day, rather than see hard working citizens loose there businesses to looting, destruction and fire. There were "occupations" of city sectors, local and federal buildings destroyed, city monuments and statues destroyed, and many people killed on each side.

    I've yet to see a democrat speak about these issues aside from claiming that racism etc.. can't be compared to whatever the Trumpers feel they've been wronged about.

     

    So, your beliefs justify this destruction, but the beliefs of others do not?

     

    Again, to qualify this, I do not agree with what was done, and I don't believe they represent the majority of the conservative party, but the hypocrisy of the party taking power is just as frightening as the one exiting.

  14. It's funny you all are talking about whistle pig. My son asked if I had ever heard of it and I said no.

     

     

     

    So my question is how does it compare to Angels Envy, which I love?

     

     

     

    You say it's pretty easy to get? I've never seen it here in grovetucky. I usually go to the kroger on 665.

    Angels envy rye is rum finished (and delicious), so whistle pig will be very different. Less sweet.

  15. I wasn't gonna bash someone for their life choices because....well, I'm me. [emoji38]
    Hahaha, no bashing here, just a little fun. We can't just let newbies into CR without developing some thick skin first! Where's Brian when we need him...

  16. This thread was born 14 years ago. Holy hell. Digging up the dead. lol

     

    I think they care a lot less now than back then. I can't remember the last time I heard someone getting harassed for tint.

    I can't remember the last time I heard someone meeting up with their online gaming friend "in real life" at their grandma's..........

  17. The Class Six has had a supply of Angel's Envy lately at $48 a bottle. I don't think that's a great price but I don't know how hard it is to find, so if anyone's interested I can grab some tomorrow.
    At the defense center? I picked up a bottle of mount gay double cask there. They had an ok selection for the size of the store, I wondered if they could order requests.
