I wouldn't have thought so, it's western animated isn't it?

weeb is normally an exclusive anime related thing, to my understanding

Hello y'all

hello

hi

well i will likely be lurking around for a while at the very least, waiting to see what interesting topics come up.

So, the camp is still buzzing, hm?

depends on what you find interesting.

few people find similar things interesting.

I find lots of stuff interesting, but I only have a few things i tend to activly think about.

mostly "things I would like to build but will never have the resources to build"

ah, so stuff like smithing swords then?

sounds like an interesting enough starting point, I imagine building things would be a common enough interest

close, I would like to build an engine form raw stock but I have no experience in anything of the sort.

well neither do

unfortunately

found some guy on youtube rebuilding a really old CAT engine and thought "that looks simple enough"

lol

the combustion process that engines use is simple in concept.

@-@

well, to be fair those old engines were very simple, i'm lucky enough to be driveing a truck older then me for work right now.

in practice, it takes some machining

ooh

as far as engines go I find myself wondering why we don't see the valve train being done by electronics rather then haveing a cam shaft.

I know the tech is out there and it seems like it would make the engine easy to tune, and it could be tuned on the fly.

hmm

interesting concept

I never really given any thought to engines except for maintaining cars.

that's fair, I kinda want to be able to do my own work on my own truck but the electronics are a bit overwhelming for me, mostly because the wireing is a rats nest in most everything.

oh yeah

especially when it comes to building a PC

the wiring gets everywhere

even though I would still take it to a shop most of the time, it's nice to know how it is built and wired so I can take a good guess at what is wrong.

at least in a PC everything is more or less standardized.

mmm

I guess so

When you're picking parts you have to make sure that the CPU and PSU and Motherboard

can handle it

but yah, take that and scale it up to about 10 or 20 feet, now make it so the case covers most of the wires and needs heavy equipment to move.

hell yeah

can i post youtube links here?
