Not sad at all, wasn't even fun to laugh at. Complete tool with TERRIBLE ideas. Stupid noobs had a hard time seeing beyond it as well. Talk about misplacing and misusing information. WE have severel noobs who think they know way more than they do. I am sure and imagine its growing. I haven't read threads outside of here though so its isolated from me

Why strange? It's great on the egg. Either direct on the grates (requires a bit more heat control) or on a big ole stone. I use a piece of slate from the landscaping section at home depot AND the deflector thingee from BGE.

I was thinking you bought at wholesale. Forgot to even think about bothering to setup a wholesale account there. For this order it isn't worth it, but good call.

Only have to hit $98. Amusingly I really only needed some $3 HDMI cables, but then things snowballed a bit and when I realized I could get free shipping it was an excuse to shop.

Managed to get there, but now am wondering what I'll say SHIT can't believe I hit order when I still need.... and I have a good stripper (would still buy another) but could use a good crimper for bullet crimp connections as I have a POS radio shack and an even bigger POS from Northern Tool. Didn't see one that looked any better though.

Ok, need some parts from PE but haven't reached the free shipping mark. What else should I get?

And laptop drives are all glass substrate based. Market covered by Asahi, Konica Minolta, and Hoya. And you guessed it, pretty much ALL of their production went underwater. Asahi still isn't producing and I don't think any of the other Thai plants are back up. Add to it the mess in Japan and that only left Hoya's Vietnam plant operating which sort of puts glass substrates in high demand. And of course, any idea where final assembly for many of these are/were? You got it. Yeeesh, any of the companies throwing out ETA's for reopening their Thai plants yet or are they still cleaning up? Depends on what you define as open. Will take years to get back to the same quantity capability. Insurance is funny in Thailand as well. Flood insurance works ONCE. Do you then rebuild there? Asahi may actually completely step out of the glass business. It is definitely interesting, starting to see available capital from the insurance settlements, but it is happening really slowly and no one knows exactly what to use it for. Much of the plants were slightly antiquated which of course in the data storage industry could only mean a couple years old, but today's technology is rapidly becoming different. Complete head technology is changing and that will alter the whole development and production cycle. Read up on HAMR if you like (heat assisted magnetic recording) as that is the next frontier since Discrete Track failed miserably. If they are getting out of the glass business, tell them to send it back to State College PA. They bought Corning out and shut down operations a few years back. Corning has some new developments as well, but that is all I can say.

Or sell it and do something else altogether. After of course beating the shit out of it!

Yes, come on spring! Fuck no, we finally got our "first" snow of the year last night. We just need about 4x that and I'll be happy. I still want my 3 months of white though. Snow in May,

in? Or mph? 5.27 @ 124.9mph in 660'

Welcome to the IHoP
Oh, and for reference. In stock class (clutching, track changes allowed but not motor mods) a new record was set this year. Snowmobiles are not a joke: 5.27 @ 124.9in 660' Yes, this is on ice and perfectly setup for it, but the power to weight ratio and how it puts it to the ground on these things is fucking awesome. If Ryan could get over his misconception on the cold and embrace the weather there isn't anyone on this board who I think would like it as much.
