yuh huh :3

HEY YOU’RE ON GUARD

we love latin <33

we just went to that area yesterday!! its very rocky and lots of cliffs on the coast, and super super hilly and forested in the interior.

many absolutely do live there, and those municipalities marked on your map there are reasonably populated. but the terrain is not super great for building large stuff, and they really do not like deforestation either. it is also farther away from freeway I-5, where most stuff on the west coast is freighted by truck, and is more expensive, at least from our experiences.

the sunset on the coast is SO pretty though :)

the microchips in the equipment you are using to view this are merely rocks with magical runes carved into them.

potato pancakes are awesome and very easy!! definitely do suggest, especially with applesauce.

managed to find this other image (taken by Eric Schultz)

you look to be right!! they do not look to be able to accommodate a hinge. we weren’t able to find a photo of the area of interest unfortunately.

our two cents on this:

if there are hinges on the rear of the hood, it may just slide up the windscreen, as the screws (or whatever fastener) used to attach them might simply rip out. the planks used as the frame of the hood look to provide a very convenient load path directly towards said hinges, and the not so strong looking mounts they are on. as you said, wood can withstand much compression along the grain, meaning those mounts would be put under very high loads, and probably fail.

and if those mounts did not fail, the actual sheet of plywood or OSB used isn’t super thick, maybe about three eighths of an inch, or about 10mm if it’s metric? its failure mode would likely involve buckling or it just crumbling into pieces… cars are heavy!

either way, the windscreen is very strong, and the wood used here is a lot weaker, at least as far as loads on the broad surface go. the most pertinent hazard here seems to be of the hood catching air, flipping up, and obstructing the view of the operator. there do look to be tie-downs here to stop that, but even the non-modified hood of a regular passenger vehicle can absolutely flip up if it is not closed properly! again, the windscreen would likely still protect the occupants, and in the latter case has for many.

of course, this is all conjecture… much more information would be needed about this setup to come to a decisive conclusion. happy engineering! :)

all the new technology!!

oh, now there is no sound…

maybe a hair tie or marker pen. sometimes tools (mainly wrenches). uhh not really any specific pockets we use for stuff, ,

“when not for your country, then at least for me!”

(AfD is a far-right political party in germany)

well, what’s exactly stopping you from getting in a car, finding some random unpaved road, and then just sending it while blasting sweet little bumblebee through the speakers? x3

oh its a size small. at least in our country “size” and actual length seem to correlate very little, mostly just the width. size seems to be based on body weight/fat, not the actual skeleton.

yes super comfy!! we are very very lucky to have some, thrift shops seem to be our best bet. still tricky thoughhh

we wish we could post you a couple for sharing, but sadly its not so feasible from our place. your friends may have some though, if you can then do ask :)

mm-hmm! pretty much a flavor of arch linux that uses openrc instead of systemd

its ok :)) it is always good to spread the word tyy

meow mrrrp mroww

tyy, the socks seem to be a favorite among the crowds. yesterday at protest, we also wore them and received no less than fourteen compliments about them. further ones are still VERY welcome though hehe :D

they are also so so super comfy. if you haven’t any knitted stuff, do get some!!

us testing out a fender we designed for our go-kart a couple weeks ago

the fender on the left wheel is the third iteration. the second iteration was on the right wheel but was ripped to shreds (this is why we test stuff).

for the style we prefer, typically some potatoes and corn starch or flour, mixed with some egg. add seasoning, then put a little oil on a skillet. to the mix we may also add some pepper or onion, perhaps some more finely diced strawberry too.

as for the “traditional” (but not where we grew up) american style, we have only tried making it a few times, but we managed to get something pretty alright. we used flour and a little sugar also, but opted for yeast instead of baking soda, also adding some malt extract and butter (or heavy cream with a little egg). one time we subbed out the sugar for molasses (per a suggestion by sister), which we liked but there are some who would absolutely hate it hehe. this style also seems to go a lot better with fruit!

honestly we kinda throw whatever ingredients into the mix by feel and it generally seems to turn out pretty well hehe :)
