General Discussion / Three important questions (spoilers alert)
« on: April 08, 2013, 05:06:55 AM »
Hello folks.
Lister engine forum's biggest racist here.  Name of Mike.  Skippy's my dog. 
There are some countries on this great planet that automatically remove your hand when your caught stealing, but here in the United States, all of our presidents, vice presidents, associates and cronies all have both their hands, and arms, legs and feet.  Their unwitting minion's, possibly not.  Tis a shame as we were almost over the wave of vets from the vietnam war.  This is not sarcasm, or an attempt at humor.  i write this with intent eyes.  Mouths mean nothing.  Talk to a lawyer and you'll see what i mean.

We are looking for the hundredth monkey. 

You want to hear the questions don't you?  Spoiler alert.  Theres more than three mind you.  Please post. 

Why would a buddhist monk set himself on fire?  What happened to building seven?  Why the wait on molten salt nuclear reactors?

General Discussion / chinese invasion scenario?
« on: April 06, 2013, 02:56:42 AM »
First off i'm not racist.  I love asian culture.  i'm talking governing bodies and the general mental welfare of a societies state. 
Second off its pretty fair to say that chinese governing bodies don't mind if their youngins are stitching me undies, so to speak, or wrenching on that harbor freight powerhouse air cooled motor at a rather young age?

With that mentality in mind...
China, i've heard or read, "technically" owns the US? 
I'm sure they are not buying our stock for braggin rights...
At one point they intend to cash in the chips and the politicians that sold us all move to aruba...
and outlaw or buy all the bullets of (starting with the east coast) the only weapon worth a damn during in an invasion of persons with similiar weapons...
and china arrives here in thousands of modified steel import cargo containers, sorta like our listers...
packing ak's, in droves. 
and our troops are told to stand down similiar to those planes on that fateful day 10 or so years ago.  Oh wait no i'm sorry all our troops are in the desert...
i have nightmares every night but i always give myself a good laugh when i outline this scenario.
it would make a rather good movie no?
Technical difficulties with all this?  I'd like to hear some, help me subside my worried heart.

General Discussion / "favoriting" threads?
« on: March 25, 2013, 11:12:51 PM »
Is there any way to do this?
i know this is a stupid question, and so blatantly obvious i'm missing it, so excuse my ignorance.  I've pushed all the buttons, so to speak, i'm just getting rather blind due to this endless winter.
Thanks for the time.
Mike.

Listeroid Engines / unbalanced idler gear
« on: March 17, 2013, 10:40:54 PM »
Hi there.
I got my nice shiny bronze idler the other day and noticed that when holding the idler bolt and spinning the gear by hand (afap -as fast as possible) there was some serious imbalance in the gear.  I did notice that the casting was not concentric to the bore or teeth, and am having a go at machining off the difference but...
My question is that i've been trying to keep up with idler issues, backlash, self detonation, etc and havent noticed any mention of balance and wanted to get some thoughts and input on whether or not this could be a contributing factor in whether one guys idler self destructs five hours in while his neighbors idler has 500 hours and counting.
