    The Astronomy Thread

    Bravo! Welcome to space addiction. Now you'll upgrade to the 21' bass boat. Use it 10x then leave it parked in your driveway for decades for the neighbors to admire! Seriously though, I'm jealous you are camping.

    Auto repair and gremlins

    Ya I bought this van in 2011 from a security company for $800. Put in a new power steering motor ( which has failed twice, damn GM's. First one was installed by a mechanic so I know it wasn't just me ). Battery, brakes full tune up and tires and put on 40k miles since then. Otherwise never an...

    Dark Matter

    Really? I know it sounds stupid but often times I got to where I enjoyed Talking Dead more than The Walking Dead haha. Then I found out Chris Hardwick was a flaming SJW with his Talking with show he did. I was sad. Like come on man we don't watch entertainment to see that crap. Ugg no After...

    I've never had one fail or stick for that matter.I'll add it to the list when I check EGR/vacuum though. Should be easy enough to check.

    Auto repair and gremlins

    Didn't even think about that and I do have one. Another thing that complicates all this compared to normal systems is this van has some functions tied into the master cylinder in addition to just brakes. They built these GMC's on a truck frame with high haul features. That is a bit different for...

    Auto repair and gremlins

    Ya youtube has helped some and lots of good info there but it is like shooting fish in a barrel unless you have specific issues. Thankfully my fan is belt driven. Trans Am it is electronic and it drives me nuts because it only kicks on basically when the car is already overheating which we had...

    Auto repair and gremlins

    It does indeed have one, the issue is like the other "vital" sensors it would be near impossible to test out without the proper tools. If I could force start the van I could actually check engine load, throttle position and everything else from my doagnostic tester and torque app I used to...

    Auto repair and gremlins

    As I said clearly getting fuel, I just don't know how much, I don't own a fuel gauge anymore. I already replaced filter as stated and after several bouts of cranking fuel smell is obvious. One advantage to vans is also the pita. The engine is literally inches away from your knee behind a...

    Auto repair and gremlins

    Battery is not vital to any function of the engine starting other than providing power for the starter in vehicles as old as this. Appreciate the input though. I've actually jump boxed a car and drove it around all day with no battery in it off the alternator alone before. Being the battery...

    Good thing I didn't mention the screwness that was the season finale then. It'll be 2 hours of splaining I hope as it was pretty wonky.

    Grown up thread. Why? Because mostly only adults drive cars. Searched back 2 years, didn't see a thread so figured someone here has to have car issues or need work advice. So I used to rebuild engines even back in my local NHRA days but these days unable to do much it is much harder to work on...

    Assuming you need a 1060-1080 series for this on my 970 GT which is about the same as a 1070 just older it said I don't meet the requirements for this game. It is checking hardware to verify you purchased the card it promo'd with. Thanks though!

    The Mummy (2017)

    It's fucked up because his more Sci-Fi stuff I don't really love, but I can watch it 10 times and not be bored. Oblivion for example, I could watch it a few times a year and not feel like I wasted my time, but movies I love even more I don't care to watch a second time. If that makes any damn...

    I've had doctors tell me to take courses of that as needed despite the warnings on box( as many weeks as needed ) For me it works pretty fast. I am not sure if my acid reflux comes and goes so fast it didn't matter but by the 2nd or 3rd day I was usually fine. For Shelly it doesn't matter if she...

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

    115M domestic/392m overseas. 508million total atm in 10 days. Hardly a flopper. Domestic it'll never touch the other 4, foreign it has surpassed at least Curse of the Black Pearl. Appears other than on video, Curse of the Black Pearl didn't show in many countries including China. Wonder if...

    Really even more than that. We'll have to probe every moon/planet around us in better detail. Many people consider life as shitposters whining about Trump. In reality the planet would just be a bunch of wild animals/plants without humans. So "super" intelligent life capable of creating things...

    I think it is more perception of what life can be. Our experience is carbon based and we know the spectrum for that to functionally work. Silicon has been suggested as possible but has issues that many cannot get past. Easily could be more, we just don't have the data.

    Ark: Survival Evolved

    And if it is still on sale it is like $6 atm. Oh noes mah expansion! The game is like half price of most shit 30 hour games these days and I have 1200 hours in ARK now. I'd say the $50 bucks I spent on it initially and eventually expansion is well worth it. Sort of like Rust that I got for $10...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    It hasn't even opened in Russia and unlike Prometheus which was banned I think in China, it opens there in 11 days. Prometheus made 22million in Russia. This is why I keep saying it WILL make it's money back. It is sitting at 173 WW now. Still has 5 countries to open in, 2 of which will be 20m+...

    Been spending a ton of hours on the map of Skies of Nazca. It has a sunray/bloom issue right now he is working on but the map is the best of 9 I've tried imo. Roraima and Thieves Island is also great. Been toying with wooden bridges, light controller and most of all Castles/Keeps and Forts.

    I've owned 2 telescopes in my life but lived in a small city which made it hard to see what I wanted to see. Was further compounded by the issue of tech and price. Pretty sure my first tele cost near $200 but that was 1980s as well. Got a desire and got one in shorter and fatter in 2008 in...

    There is another document inside the one I posted that goes into much more detail. Basically they were able to replicate the signal on a smaller scale to basically match the 77 event. My questions would be why certain gas nebulas and comets with certain gas compositions give off such a signal...

    He first had a theory about the comet and cloud gas last year but it took them a year to verify it. As to why it went from 1977 to 2016 before any real ideas came about I don't know. I have some questions I am going to ask him over time on this.

    Health Problems

    It is possible what was removed was a bundle of nerves. Happened to Shelly on her hand, they said it was a mole and when they froze it it hurt like a freight train for her for a week and 3 months later still causes her great pain even though it is mostly gone. She was told the mistake was common.
