Dog vs Porcupine

Somewhere out there is a naked Porcupine.

Inca apparently did not know when to quit when she encountered the porcupine on Victoria Day, May 23rd.

These are the pictures the vet sent before the long (and expensive) procedure to remove the quills. She had thousands of quills, and her tongue was so covered, she could not close her mouth.

It was pretty scary at first. She is doing okay now, but looks like a World War III survivor as they had to cut some out in places, stitched between her toes, and many quills bled on removal.

There are still quills buried in her, but they should work their way out over time (I pulled four more today).

She is on antibiotics and pain meds and thankfully is doing quite well.

BERLIN, Germany:

A 34 year old auto-worker was rushed to the emergency ward this weekend when his g*nitals started to suffer from necropsy.

The unidentified man had a strange fetish for an extreme form of g*nital chastity which stopped the blood flow to his testicles and p*nis for more than four days.

The married father of four claimed he enjoyed the constriction caused by the pipe-fitting rings used in valves at the assembly plant where he worked, and that his wife had no idea about his strange liking.

He is quoted as saying that he would leave them on for days at a Time and usually had no problem removing them.

Unable to get the device off his g*nitals the man went to a friends home who was also unable to remove the metal rings. Complaining of loss of sensation he then went to the local hospital where shocked and horrified medical team had to call in a locksmith to blast the homemade vice open.

After four hours of drilling the device was removed, and doctors are still not certain if the mans g*nitals will have to be removed due to onset of gangrene.

Warning: Not for the faint hearted.

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

From the State where drink driving is considered a sport, comes a true

story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighborhood

tavern. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar

so

intoxicated that he could barely walk.

The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the

officer

quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on

five vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into.

He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the

bar

and drove off.

Finally started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine

dry

night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then

switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches,

reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes

as

some more vehicles left.

At last he pulled out of car park and started to drive slowly down the

road.

The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, started up

the

patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over

and

carried out a Breathalyzer test.

To his amazement the Breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man

having

consumed alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to

the

Police station this breath-analyzer equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy". True

story.

Bony Church - Amazing

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, and how about 70 kilometres east

the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, lies a small town called Sedlec.

It might have been an ordinary enough town, if not for its extraordinary

church. The inside of this church is decorated with artworks made of real

human bones. The story begins in 1218, when a certain Abbot Henry made a

pilgrimage to the holy land and brought back a jar full of soil from

cemetery, which he spread over the Church. As a result the church came to be

regarded as more sacred and turned into a popular burial spot.

By 1318, more than 30,000 bodies were buried there and by 1511, it had

become necessary to remove the older bones to make place for the new ones.

These later became the material for the macabre creations.

In 1870 a local woodcarver was hired by the Duke of Shwartzenberg to

decorate the inside of the church with the human remains (approximately 40,000 sets of human bones).

Now it is one of the most extraordinary church in the

whole world.... Bony Church - isn't it morbidly amazing???

Attached are some of the pictures of this Bony Church - its simply astonishing

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
