Finally upgrading the lights in my 1986 Porsche 911. The originals are nearly useless for night driving.

This is just a test fit. Do I need to take these to a paint shop and get someone to paint the black rims with guards red single stage? Or is black okay?

Me five minutes ago: "FUCK YES. I AM A CAR REPAIR GOD. Totally rebuilt a 911 instrument cluster. There's nothing I can't do!"

Me now: "Uh, did I install my tachometer 45 degrees off? I have to take the dash apart again? I SUCK. WHY DO I DO THIS. FFFFFFFFFFuuuuu"

New radio working!

Good reason to spend $40k on a used 911 instead of a new Honda Accord or whatever is how easy they are to work on. Modern cars are specifically built so you can't fix them yourself.

Wire in GPS antenna and mic, and PCCM+ install is done and dusted.

Cybertrucks are already rusting. But don’t worry, there’s an easy fix. Spend hours claybaring your car every time it gets wet.

Why I’m loyal to Porsche and not Ferrari or Lamborghini:

My 997 turns 20 next year. Because these cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, Porsche just put out a new Apple CarPlay stereo. It will work perfectly with a modern smartphone.

Just brilliant.

Thanks to everyone who has asked about my extremely destructive puppy, Kaiju!

He'd destroyed $4k of things in my house. Someone suggested Yak Sticks. Turns out, he is a dog that just likes to chew on something every second he's awake! Over a month with nothing in the house harmed.

It’s truly embarrassing how bad Siri is, especially compared to ChatGPT 4. Apple should have spent the last decade dominating this space with such an early lead. I don’t know why, but they just chose to have a lower tier product and stagnate.

Hey Mastadon,

Building a new PC. I’m a Mac gal primarily, but need something powerful for games. Would love second opinions on this.

If you thought America’s decision to invade Iraq was bad, war with Iran would be 10x worse.

✅ Iran has a network of proxy terrorists throughout the Middle East. Hezbollah, would unquestionably enter conflicts in other territories.
✅ Oil prices would skyrocket, disrupting the worldwide economy
✅ A mass humanitarian crisis would be a near certainty. Desperate to control food, medicine, and supplies, countries would be taken over by regional warlords

My husband is up for one of the most prestigious honors in all of science-fiction, an Anlab award.

He’d be honored if you would consider voting for his novella, “Poison,” here. analogsf.com/analytical-lab…

You can read it and see if it meets that high bar. frankwu.com/Poison.html

I was curious how we were going to form a coalition strong enough to restructure the entire economy of the planet when one person can’t say “noodles are tasty” without being cancelled?
