One important related detail often left unmentioned in your simplistic, yet accurate example shared, what was the above imagined benefactor's total contribution to receive the $188,000 payout, speaking for the "It's my money and I want it now" crowd.

And guarded.

I think you are not seeing the forest from the trees here. That compressor set-up outputs 75CFM+?, what realistically are your cfm needs here, and at what duty cycle? Not many here can physically operate a 60CFM? sandblaster near a 90% duty cycle for an 8hr shift. The tank by itself has some...

And that is in some camps is intentional and the point, death by neglect. Because it will effectively collapse and cause major outrage by the majority if no one "messes with it", and everyone can say "don't blame me, I didn't mess with it". The solution is not with the majority, it's with the...

However, that appears is the underlying ultimate goal, and if the current "free press" is further kneecapped by 2033, it will only be like a tree falling in the forest, nobody will hear it, as the "tsunami" will be intentionally under reported, and nothing will change. There are recent examples...

The odds are however your FRA will be increased a bit I suspect as one of the changes to keep SS fully funded. And as others have touched on, very few at 99 can "enjoy" their wealth vs their "younger" years. I hope to live life much like endurance racers do, they only have to finish the race...

Does it work? Is it 3 phase? What voltage does it require? If your usage only requires intermittent short term uses during the day, you will have a hefty electrical bill if the entire system has any leakage. A way to reduce that problem would be to have an auxiliary 60-80gal air tank, bypassing...

What year is that original AS1 marked windshield? Seems like this marking might have started in 1968?

Florida Statue 316.2952  (b) Sunscreening material along a strip at the top of the windshield, so long as such material is transparent and does not encroach upon the driver’s direct forward viewing area as more particularly described and defined in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 205...

I know that is the common thinking. But no, it was never "My money". It was only a campaign promise, IE worth little, and your contributions paid your parents benefits, your kids or somebody's kids are paying yours, and if you read closely the personal annual benefit information sheet mailed...

Surprised in 5? pages there is no mention of the expected 25%? SS reduced benefits in 2033? as the contribution stream falls way short. Of course, many here at time will only be a memory. I personally starting collecting 2 years after FRA, right about when COVID shut my industry completely...

Do replacement windshields have it? I am not a fan of "green" tint windshields, so on a clear windshield, I'm curious where this "AS-1 line" is if marked, so I can tint the top part myself.

So, when you start to run out of fuel near empty and the car coughs, press the accelerator? :lol:

I would be more confident if you brazed/soldered? a 5/16"-3/8" 90 degree steel elbow into the existing hole with elbow turning straight up and if possible the open end above the top of the tank any bit, and running the wires thru that after deburring and filling the elbow full if possible with a...

The grommet, unless made of nitrile?, likely will not handle long term immersed fuel exposure, and will swell or decompose while separating from any used adhesive. The solutions proposed so far are IMO rather risky. Time to rethink this endeavor. Nitrile rubber - Wikipedia
