yeah that killed the thread, that and the vegas meet coming up.

 

Viva Las Vegas!!!

 

viva... i think the users & mgmt of my dept & co are one delta tangos over here... lol

 

in today's day and age, IT is pretty much the heart and soul of a company. and...well, you do have the power to stop pretty much the entire company.

when that happens be like, "iono. i couldn't stop all you one delta ten tangos"

 

Have fun in Vegas be safe and take lots of pictures / videos!

 

apparently, you can make your own liquid nitrogen if you hold up a can of air upside down and only let small trickle of air out so that it creates droplets. then, with a small container, you let those droplets fall into this container and you've made yourself liquid nitrogen.

 

but how much liquid nitrogen will it produce

 

it was just a small amount....well, that's how much i made. idk how much a full can of canned air will make.

 

i thought liquid nitrogen turned to vapor when exposed to air..

 

I've been using compressed air to freeze bugs for years.
Every time there is a spider in the office, they call me to freeze it, and kill it.
It produces quite a bit, but it will evaporate quickly, and always remember, it is poisonous air you're breathing.
Try not to do it where you don't have good ventilation.

Also, try holding the can upside down, and spray a full blast. It shots out liquid and air.
If you spray an area of your skin that is sensitive, like the inside of your upper arm, it may actually burn you from the cold.
Shot a quick blast at the palm of your hand, it won't hurt, but it will scare the crap out of you.

 

zumn, you still intrested in my volks?

 

actually, it boils and in that process it turns into vapor.

holding the can upside down is my favorite thing to do. then, it's sniffing the vapors to get a legally obtained...yet illegal...high

and, in order to get the liquid nitrogen in a capturable form, you would need to gently squeeze the trigger of the canned air for the vapors to condense enough to turn into droplets at which point you put them into a container to get the desired amount of liquid nitrogen.

 

that explains some things

 

 

this is what i'd use LN2 if i had that much of it to spare

 

Woot off today!

 

For those who missed out, here's my picture thread for the Vegas Meet https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/whatever-happens-vegas-pics-jedi-edition-176859/

Good times.

 

Ya, check out the pics in the thread.
I'm sure you guys will also give them 2 thumbs up.

 

hey what do you guys use for the black plastic on the outside of your 8's?

 

some ppl use back-to-black or forever black, but those darken and alter the color- since our trim is actually dark gray and not entirely black.

i usually just clean it with soap & water...

 

cleaning it wont help, i need some that get absorbed into it. kind of like a tire product

 

i know it's not the best thing to use, but sometimes i'll use just a tiny bit of armor all- just to get rid of spots on plastic.

what kind of problem are u having?

 

I use tons of armor all.
Just enough so it doesn't drip, but it's very shiny.
I've also used the Black Magic Tire Wet stuff. It's actually clear, not black.
I prefer the plastic look black for my car, even though it's technically dark grey.

 

OK pile on the armor all then.

so what is everyone doing for the 4th?

P.S. i got a 12 xbox live card! woot woot

 

In 1972, Joe Miller was on vacation in Kenya after graduating from Tulsa Junior College.

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Joe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Joe worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to Joe, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Joe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Joe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Thirty years later, Joe was walking through the Tulsa Zoo with his family. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over, near where Joe and his family were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Joe, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1972, Joe could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Joe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Joe's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.

This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming BS stories.
