Really proud of this installation

Really proud of this installation

Started it wayyy too late in the day, of course has to run to HD and get some different length bolts, but it's done and looks even better in the dark! Ramp is a 10.5' x 43" Handi-Ramp made in Wisconsin! Picked it up from the factory last week.

I run a video production company and am tired of lifting cases, this will make jobs even faster!

Hi, I'm Pearl

I didn't know I was a Pitsky till I found this sub, it's nice to meet others like me.

Last winter, I was found on the streets of Chicago and had nine puppies at the shelter! They were all healthy and adopted before my parents met me and took me to my forever home.

I enjoy wagging my tail every morning, snuggling, not knowing what "personal space" means, hunting squirrels, eating baby rabbits, swimming, finding ways to defeat the kitchen baby gate, and playing "run so fast" at the dog park.

It's the little things in life

The neighbors and I grilled up 80 burgers last night for our block party. Some simple 80/20 patties, salt, and American cheese. Felt good.

(Mine is the blue one)

Lazy Mode: Expert

So many people in Wisconsin driving ID4's are going to want these, saves an extra step in not putting the plug back.

Edit: Clearly no one remembers/saw the post with the guy driving an ID4 just dropping the charger and driving away without putting it back. This is in reference to that.

USB signal splitter?

Does anyone know of a device that can take a single USB input and send it to two computers simultaneously?

We have an X-Keys controller for a teleprompter that we'd like connected to two Mac laptops running the same software and script. The goal is redundancy: if the primary Mac fails, we can switch to the backup and have the script/control position stay in sync.

Is there a USB splitter, duplicator, or other hardware solution that can send the controller's input to both Macs at the same time?

Pic for attention.

How we lose free things

If you’re going to charge for more than 4 hours (the limit), please don’t just drop charging cables on the ground and walk away. Like that Volkswagen (EV-WI BBN-1527)—that’s how we lose free charging. At least hang it up if you don’t want to plug it back into the post.

If all of these hot dog stands use Vienna Beef, why do they all taste different?

Why are they all so different? Can someone please explain this to me? They cannot possibly be the same product given the differences in taste and snap.

Stuck on the side of the highway because inflators are cheaper than spares.

My wife got a flat on the interstate today, and apparently that required two tow trucks, three tire changes, several phone calls, and both of us missing half a day of work.

The first tow truck said we needed a flatbed and left. The second flatbedded the car to the nearest gas station because insurance would only authorize the “closest safe location.” A third tow was going to take another 1–2 hours.

Then I discovered my spare had the same bolt pattern as her car. Great! Except it wouldn’t clear the brake caliper. So I put my spare on my car, removed one of my actual wheels, and put that on hers. (Fun fact Focus ST and Mach E both have the same 5x108 pattern)

All of this could have been avoided if the manufacturer had included a spare tire instead of a can of optimism.

Update: whatever cut the tire left a 3" slice, no way to do a roadside patch or one at the shop.

It's finally happened

My wife got a flat tire, our emergency compressor and fix-a-flat won't put any air into it. Stuck on the side of the highway till the tow truck arrives. Gotta love these new cars with less features like "spare tires"

Are extension cords safe?

My dad has a L2 charger installed in his garage. For one reason or another, the placement of the plug on the wall isn't ideal. I've seen extension cords online, are they safe to use if all he needs is an extra few feet?

He has the Ford OEM charger that pulls 32A with a NEMA 14-50.

Anyway to force AC on?

My exterior thermometer isn't working, the car thinks it's -40 outside, so the AC doesn't want to run. Auto is off, set to low, fan set to high.

Fun fact, -40 is both the same temp in C and F!

[SELLING] Weather Guard Rigid Floor for 148" Extended - For Sale $1000

Selling a brand-new, unused Weather Guard rigid floor for a Ford Transit 148-inch extended wheelbase. It is still in the original boxes and is only missing one H-track joining section. Seen in last photo.

You could likely fabricate the piece from aluminum, or it may not be needed if installing the floor in a shorter Transit.

These sell for nearly $1,900 online with shipping and tax, so this is a significant savings.

Pickup only in Downers Grove. Cash only, sold as-is, and no returns or refunds.

Weather Guard Rigid Floor for 148" Extended - For Sale $1000

Hope this is okay to post here, mods.

Selling a brand-new, unused Weather Guard rigid floor for a Ford Transit 148-inch extended wheelbase. It is still in the original boxes and is only missing one H-track joining section. Selling for $1000.

Weather Guard sent me an entire replacement floor instead of the missing part. You could likely fabricate the piece from aluminum, or it may not be needed if installing the floor in a shorter Transit. You can see me pointing to the missing section on my van in the last photo.

These sell for nearly $1900 with tax and shipping, so this is a significant savings.

Pickup only in the Chicago suburbs. Cash only, sold as-is, and no returns or refunds.

Hot dog at a sushi restaurant?

It was a rotary sushi restaurant, they had a bunch of additional things that could be ordered with a touch screen. It's wrapped in sushi rice, nori, and deep fried. Surprisingly, very tasty and had a nice Smoky hit with an extra snap from the nori. My wife was rolling her eyes when I ordered it, I'd get it again!
