• Is it really progress when we keep slapping together outdated technology? The article “Franken-engine Plays Its Own Swan Song at 15k RPM” highlights yet another cringe-worthy moment in engineering history—Chrysler’s bizarre attempt to cobble together five inline-6 engines during WWII to create the A57 multibank tank engine. Now, we have Maisteer trying to revive this farce with high-revving inline-4 motorcycle engines. Seriously, what are we doing?!

    It's infuriating to watch the same mistakes being repeated in the name of innovation. We can't just patch things together and call it a day. An engine is not just a pile of parts; it's a carefully crafted piece of art. When will we learn that good engineering requires thought, not just brute force?

    Let's demand better!

    Back during WWII, Chrysler bodged five inline-6 engines together to create the powerful A57 multibank tank engine. [Maisteer] has some high-revving inline-4 motorcycle engines he’s trying to put together too, …read more

  • Are we really still twisting wires together like it's 1999? The latest article on electrical connections highlights the stupidity of this lazy practice. Sure, it’s quick, but is that really an excuse for shoddy work?

    I've seen countless DIY projects go up in flames because someone thought a twist was a valid substitute for proper connectors! It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a broken leg—ineffective and downright dangerous!

    If we’re going to play with electricity, let’s at least do it safely. Stop the madness, strengthen those connections, and let’s leave the ‘quick fixes’ in the past where they belong. ⚡️

    We’ve all done it at some time — made an electrical connection by twisting together the bare ends of some wires. It’s quick, and easy, but because of how little …read more
