Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I think we are looking through the wrong end of the telescope.
The question that really needs an answer is not "Were things better 30
years ago?" rather.. the question that needs answered is:
"Is life truly better because of all the technology changes, the social
changes, the automotive changes, the work place changes, and the family
life changes that we presently have?"
And:

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Lol, I said nearly thirty years ago that desktop publishing (and by extension, 
social media now) would be the end of civilization.  Any idiot can publish 
things now -- back when it cost a couple hundred thousand dollars to get 
something in print, the trash got filtered out.  If someone wanted to crank out 
their screed on a mimeograph, everyone knew it was probably junk.

Now it's hard to tell the difference, and there is NO filter on anything.  We 
are drowning in garbage.

The good thing is that this has happened before, multiple times, and once 
people figure out they are being fed garbage they tend to wise up a little.

After all, we had rampant yellow journalism around the turn of the last 
century, and now newspapers are considered reliable sources.  It's just gonna 
take a while with social media -- we will get there, but not soon.

Me, I'm about done with the noise.  Had to upgrade to a "smart" phone because 
Verizon is planning to end support for 3G/1x, and my old phone was getting 
unreliable (and had trouble with "smart" text).  I hate it.  Endless "upgrades" 
for junk I don't use and will never use, hard to type on (my thumbs are bigger 
than the chicklet sized letters on the keypad), stupid touch screen is never 
working right, and the damned buttons are almost impossible to use without 
accidentally pushing the wrong one.

To say nothing of the ridiculous GLASS front and back and the super fragile 
OLED display that fails when you drop the phone (because the connections come 
apart in the wiring).

3-4 stations sounds good sometimes.  All the tech is nice and having the 
power of the internet is great, but it seems like information overload 
at times and I would gladly give all that up to live back in the simpler 
times again.  Maybe I should sell off everything and move out to the 
woods or something.

Re: [MBZ] Kaleb Needs This

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

It’s really sort of sad. The seller is clearly attached to it if you read the 
listing. It’s pretty junky and really has no functional purpose. You couldn’t 
even salvage parts off of it, it’s so beat up.

I can see where it would have been cool for a little kid, though.

 Phase one is complete. I have removed the donor engine from the 84 300D 
 with a bad transmission. I am in the process of replacing the the front 
 seal and checking other components and replacing as needed.
 Next phase is removing transmission from 2nd donor car. (83 300D). I’ve 
 been told by several that the 240D transmission won’t hold up to the 
 additional torque of the turbo engine.
 I will need a new/used exhaust system. Does anyone have any information on 
 a used stainless system that is for sale. Rick was able to provide one for 
 my last project (85 300D) that is currently in Texas and being used as a 
 daily driver by my daughter.

Re: [MBZ] OT guns on sale too!

[Clay via Mercedes]

The Europeans eat geese, and ganders.  The introduction of turkey to the dinner 
table across the pond is a very new marketing triumph.  Way back in the day (I 
attended British international schools for a few years) the holiday meal had 
roasted geese, hams, or beef as a main dish, along with all manner of root 
crops, blood puddings and other not so tasty courses.

Re: [MBZ] Drop forged crankshaft (video)

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

That’s what the foundry floor at Kohler (plumbing) looked like in the 1980s. 
Even though the guys were supposed to be wearing all sorts of protective gear 
they would leaving it laying around. These were all WWII vets who were much 
like the guys that were in that video.

A real man didn’t have to wear all that pussy stuff. A real man breathed in all 
that foundry sand (and died early from silicosis, too.)

Every employee in the company had to get a lung volume test upon employment. 
Anyone who worked in or around the foundry got tested every three months after 
that. It was funny as heck. You stood there with this mouthpiece connected to 
what looked like a vacuum cleaner hose and a pair of clips to hold your nose 
closed. You had to take the biggest breath you cold, then exhale as forcefully 
as possible with this mouthpiece in your mouth. Sounds simple, but think about 
having to blow as hard as you can with your mouth wide open.

I kept cracking up because the nurse that did my test, an older, somewhat 
corpulent gal, was standing there yelling, “BLOW, BLOW, BLOW!”

It made me laugh. It pissed her off.

Re: [MBZ] 300D Engine transfer to 240D

Manual HVAC, roof and windows are electric. Best thing so far is the 
differential change. From a 3.69 to 3.07.  About a 10 to 12 mile per hour 
difference at cruising speed.

[MBZ] 300D Engine transfer to 240D

[Michael Esh via Mercedes]

Phase one is complete.  I have removed the donor engine from the 84 300D with 
a bad transmission. I am in the process of replacing the the front seal and 
checking other components and replacing as needed. 
Next phase is removing transmission from 2nd donor car. (83 300D). I’ve been 
told by several that the 240D transmission won’t hold up to the additional 
torque of the turbo engine. 
I will need a new/used exhaust system. Does anyone have any information on a 
used stainless system that is for sale.  Rick was able to provide one for my 
last project (85 300D) that is currently in Texas and being used as a daily 
driver by my daughter. 
Mike
