Re: [MBZ] OT but quite interesting new tech

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

What is old is new again.  Radiator shutters.   Now electrically 
operated in place of the operator turning a small crankshaft as in the 
1930s.

How many cars since the 1960's Firebird convertible have damper weights on the 
chassis?

The final frame-related things Wichman and I talked about were the Active Tuned 
Mass Modules, ATMMs, which are essentially little cans bolted to the frame 
rails on either side of the truck, with solenoid-activated weights inside.

[MBZ] OT but kinda interesting

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

The comments are actually quite good on this, and the original post is 
not bad either.

[MBZ] OT: A kinda interesting job

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Thought you guys might be interested in how I spent my afternoon.Our dog walker 
has failing knees and has gotten permission from the state to use a side by 
side ATV (in this case a Polaris RZR) to walk the dogs in our local state park. 
She had a guy build a frame on the back of the ATV to hook the dog leashes to. 
To be able to see the dogs she bought an aftermarket car backup camera but 
needed help wiring it.Its a simple system, little camera mounts at the back, 
quite a large screen goes up front. In "normal" operation it would be wired so 
the camera is powered from the backup lights. I wired everything to be powered 
by the 12v aux outlet up front so I didn't have to cut into the wiring on the 
ATV at all. It works pretty well and even with it pretty much completely dark 
out we could still see my little dog Buster who is black and difficult to see.I 
zip tied the screen into place just above the rearview mirror.
Its all easy to remove too, cut about 8 zip ties and it all comes loose. As 
trade for my labor she's going to let us take the ATV to camp in the spring. 
Actually we might take it at the end of the month if theres no snow...

Everybodys a comic. Sheesh.

There was the time somebody was trying to take over my other credit card. Had 
them change my mother's maiden name to Brown. It'd been a nice finish name, 
lots is. The loss prevention specialist took a long time to understand that 
maiden names don't change.

[MBZ] OT: That was interesting

[Curt Raymond]

We have to go to online statements with our corporate Amex cards and as I've 
forgotten (probably never knew) my mother's date of birth (stupid security 
code) I had to call Amex.
The Indian guy who helped me was fantastic, if every support person was as good 
as him American call centers would all die out immediately...

Wow, that is a coincidence!
A couple days ago, I had exactly the same experience with Amex, for exactly
the same reason.
But how did THEY know my mother's dob?

Re: [MBZ] OT: That was interesting

[Curt Raymond]

I remember the spot on the form and thinking hell I dunno so I put something, 
I know the month after all. For the last 20 years I've just sent my mother a 
birthday card the first week of December and called her at the end of the 
second week, its somewhere in there.

Amex is allowing me to use her Maiden name now...
