Yeah how bout we switch away from this rapist pedo loser, too

Woah that is some wild context. So wait does that mean it'd take 17GB to digitally store an hour's worth of that footage..."faithfully"?

Not trying to paint you into some "gotcha!" corner or anything weird, ya just made me curious.

I also just find weird and tortured units of measure fun, so "magnetic tape, ya know, the 17GB/hr kind" really tickles me.

That's enough for me tbh, thanks!

Willing to elaborate on "knitting debacle"? I'm a late and infrequent watcher of his YouTube channel.

Ah yes, just need one of those mythical ✨good companies✨, who can simply be trusted with recording fucking everything including uninvolved strangers and not doing weird or awful stuff with it.

Ah, an ancient wizard, then - carry on lol.

If I'd grown up around people who understood and enjoyed cars, my life (read: curiosity) would probably have simply gone that direction.

Instead I learned a lotta other things well, and so I've come around to this badly and through some longer paths, lol. I envy what I assume to be your built-in, muscle-memory secrets.

And hell yeah, I drive and enjoy a 2006. Had it for some years, went very deliberately from a 2018 Mazda I really liked to this, consider it an improvement (no one else in my life does 😅).

Only "outsource" the stuff I know I can't find time to learn and do, the thing is fundamentally easy to work on and understand. Delicious!

A carburetor is a step too far, you invite misery, do you hate yourself? Take care, lol.

But yep would love to see more folks keeping old cars running, I won't be taking the plunge into "~mortgage and routinely operate my own bubble of dystopian hellscape", think I'ma pretty much lifetime "pass" on that flavor of nastiness.
