I'd guess this is a mustang and that would make it the "small" engine (~305hp) for that car, the other option being a 5.0L.

As a sidenote, I'm enjoying a pair of KEF Carina II speakers which might hit the mark and be easier to find!

The originals are either "the loudspeaker" or "the smaller loudspeaker". Later, they added advent/1, advent/2, and advent/3. You may need to replace the foam.

Shockingly, the only fail for the Ford F150 Lightning is the physical buttons for climate control on the higher trim models (with the gigantic screen). The Pro and XLT have the physical buttons and I'll be damned if I don't miss them.

And on those, fan speed is a touch and then you can dial the speed on the one physical control.

See if you can find a pair of Advents!

Inspired by 1975 F1 cars.

Looks like Volvo to me.

Rather, the Hawaiian law is based on the fact that in the United States, corporations are created and given their powers by the charters of the individual states. Indeed, corporations simply are a legal creation of the state, everywhere they exist, by definition. The new law simply states that corporations doing business in Hawaii do not have the power to engage in local, state, or federal political campaigns, that that was not one of the powers enumerated in the state’s corporate charter. It further specifies a range of penalties—including losing the right to conduct any business in the state at all—if they do.

I spent an hour today on a webinar about how to optimize token usage with more than 500 other participants from the company I work for. Because billing is about to have its come-to-Jesus moment.

I still miss my T-Mobile G1 and G2 with their slide out keyboards. ... And the replaceable screens and batteries.

That's probably an actual quote? It's so bad, I find it hard to tell.

 

Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.

50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn't cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.

Wasn't room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.

I'll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Anyone else spending their weekend with the Sonoma action?

I've been jumping between the feeds for all the races/qualifying today. The Toyota GR Cup was particularly fun to watch. The new McLaren series seems like it could shape up pretty well too!

Got the uppers painted and installed.

Time to find some MDF for the face frame, drawer fronts, and shelves. Which reminds me, I need a router bit for the integrated drawer pulls she wants.

 

My first project is really coming together!

Built a set of drawers cabinets to my wife's specs for the closet. Still have uppers, face frame and overlay fronts to do, but the garage was too full to keep going.

4ft (122cm) tall bank of drawers with full extension soft close undermount slides. 88in.(222cm) wide.

Feel free to make fun of the 2x4 toe kick! Rest assured I've learned my lesson.

All cuts made with my portable DeWalt table saw after breaking down sheets with my Ryobi circular saw and a harbor freight clamp as an edge guide.

 

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
