the 'real' stuff is highly overrated. It contains VERY low doses of THC, get more effect from punching a cone and having a few beers. The mystique surrounding absinth has less to do with the wormwood (the THC ingredient) and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that when prepared the traditional way (sugar cube, fire, all that jazz)

Back in ye olde Paris, the sugar wasn't sugar but laudanum, a opium derrivative (about 10% opium, or roughly 2% morphine solution).

Opiates + alcohol + mild dose of THC = GOOD times.

Interesting idea. Misses some key styles but a solid representation and we'll laid out with some solid information.

In other news one of my regulars came in for lunch today. Guy is a royal pain in the ass and when dining with large groups we let him bring in a few bottles of really high end wine to share with the table. This means no booze sales which means smaller bill which means less tips. And you have to work HARD with this guy, he is almost impossible to please and everything needs to be flawless and done at the highest standards expected from a hat rated restaurant.

So I bust a gut all day looking after him and his family, handling wines worth more a bottle than I make in a month. End of the meal and I'm put up some dessert glasses for him as he has some port he wants to share with his guests. I get them all set and he asks for one more, I scratch my head but whatever.

So out comes the bottle of Port. It's in a wooden case, velvet lined. Little half bottle inside. He pours a portion for all his guests and a portion in the extra glass, stuff has the consistency and colour of engine oil and the smell is so strong I can smell it from the next table. He then explains what it is. I shit you not it was a 1908 para liqueur. 105 year old port. This stuff must be worth more than my car. His guests all begin the process of savouring the drink and the guy waves me over. I ask what I can do for him and he says, "I wanted to say thank you for looking after us so well today. This is for you." and he hands me the extra glass.

105 year old port. 105 years. This stuff is almost as old as Australia as a country.

All I can say is wow. WOW. I've had the pleasure of drinking some truly exceptional drinks over the years and this has to be the single finest thing I have ever tasted and may ever taste. Thick, intense, Smooth, lingering taste that opens up to reveal layer upon layer upon layer of flavours. This is why I am so passionate about alcohol not as a way to get f**ked up but to enjoy, savour and share. It's a passion for me and God damn if I'm not the luckiest son of a bitch that others feel the same way and want to share with me as well.

Makes it all worth while hey Boz. That really touched me!

Have had a similar experience but they just bought me a $40 nip of whiskey as he was a whiskey drinker too and we had spent quite a while talking about it. =)

(This was back when a normal drink was about $3.50)

    • 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.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
