A custom head + rotary valve train, the EJ25 uses standard valves with a standard cam design, this is fine, but rotary valves have their own advantages and disadvantages that I think would be fun to tinker with. Unlike a regular valve, rotary valves don’t have springs, therefore they don’t experience the “valve float” that standard valves experience at higher RPM’s, allowing you to rev to very fast engine speeds. They also give better fuel economy since they are much lower resistance, standard valves have to overcome the force of each spring in order to open, rotary valves are just a hole. Rotary valves are also non-interference, and if I blew the timing belt, it wouldn’t destroy the engine

I’d also just like to be able to make shit out of metal, it’s a brainworm of mine I’ve had forever

I’ve been wanting to learn how to work with metal for a while now, my current long time goal is to get good enough to make a rotary valve train for my Subaru motor. I’ve been absorbing a lot of information about how engines work and how these parts interact I’m just missing all the practical knowledge for it.

I’m staying away from most solids at the moment cause I can’t keep them down. But yeah I do know about that diet cause someone in my family had to be on it for a while and will probably do the same once I can

My SO just got back earlier with some gatorade cause they had no pedialyte left. It’s the first drink I could drink without vomiting and it was so fucking nice

I think I actually just got this, got home from work yestecday and my stomach was feelin a litte upset yeah? I kept thinking it was just gas buildup but no! I started blasting liquid ass and projectile vomiting at random. I tried drinking a glass of tapwater this morning, and it all just came back up.

Not fun at all

nice, was thinking about this for a while but I hated writing the MD to whatever GUI framework i used, and a lot of the other stuff is either really outdated looking, or just unmaintained

Purgatory is a perfect description of living in Nebraska

Same but with a Vega APU, also love it when it merges the console screen with whatever was on there bufore suspend and it’s just a text graphics rainbow mess

Kinda weird, is the first gen Vega Apu different enough to not have these problems? Cause I’ve been pushing that thing hard enough it’s starting to have actual hardware faults, very rarely had software related crashes that couldn’t be resolved with a temporary kernal rollback

They’re all aight, but avoid asus like the plague, they don’t last very long and have tons of incompatibilities with linux. I’ve only had mine for 3 years and it already needs a new mobo as the pci lanes for wifi and bluetooth suddenly died

Been absolutely fucking freezing in small town nebraska over here, got to around -35 the other day, we have snow drifts up to 10 feet high on some backroads too. crazy stuff

the oldest is one of my portable cassette recorders, a very early GE model that is in near perfect condition. It’s so early on it doesn’t have much info online, and seems to be rare, but unwanted.

The one im the most proud of is my IBM LexMark model M keyboard, It’s older than me, abused to hell, modified, and is still my daily driver because it’s so comfortable

I just got myself very sick by forgetting to turn the heat off while sleeping, so no

I failed math 3 years in a row in high school and I made plenty of minecraft clones using nothing but logic and basic algebra. Math isn’t as important to programming as people say, I still can’t do division or multiplication on paper, but in a program, I can make it do that for me.

Wanted to make games as a kid, got way way waayy too into it, now I just make my own programs when I need to

short form content sells, I hate it, but most people generally don't

A raccoon ran straight into my window at midnight, that was spooky as fuck

And if I really hit that accelerator like people want me to, the thing slips, stops, and then suddenly engages full force and I burn out. So that’s not much safer either

I have no choice but to do this in my current car, the transmission is fucked and if I accelerate too fast it slips and I don’t go any faster. So I slowly go to the speed limit and slowly slow to a slow stop
