      So is it considered vegetarian?

        I would be surprised if the nutrient content was as complete as the Chicken God makes.

        Its like hydroponically grown fruits and vegetables. You circumvent the natural absorption of nutrients from the soil/nature and the synthetically grown product is lacking in both taste and nutritional value.

        This is fascinating though

          Here is the real question, do you see yourself going to the store and saying man I could really go for some cultured regenerative stem cells right now.

            Not for $9,000 a pound hahaha. The issue that I see, and they grazed upon, is that the pricing is all based on demand. I just don't see that demand being more popular than the "real meat" that we get now. Breaking culture is tough. The "We've been doing this for X amount of years. Why would we change now!" attitude is everywhere.

            Maybe if a disease wiped out most of our animals and we were forced to make due lol

                          I'm pretty dumbfounded that the 914 ended up going for $17,900. In my mind, the C10 should pull $6-8000, but being that it's pretty much unmolested and a great color combination I wouldn't be surprised to see it go for $10-12000.

                                  Finally got serious about troubleshooting the ill-behaved fuel-pump relay on the e34.

                                  Kind of an inside joke... it's "executive" because it's a 5-series, aka "executive car". So there's "executive shifting" (with your arm on the arm-rest), "executive lifter tick", and the...

                                  IMG20170331215105662zpspxnt4xjw.jpg

                                  The indicator light shows when the relay is getting a signal from the DME, and the switch allows me to bypass the relay, which is nice for when it's cold outside and I don't want to open the hood to shove a paper clip in the relay socket. The whole thing has a 7 foot cord and plugs into the relay socket. The cord runs out from under the hood, through the passenger door, and the panel resides next to the shifter.

                                  Initial test results showed that the relay is not getting a consistent ground from the DME. After a week of driving using the bypass switch, the car has not thrown any tantrums, or shown any other signs of ill temperament. I've remembered to turn off the fuel pump when exiting the car nearly 85% of the time, so life is good.

                                  Actually, that's not entirely true. I fixed the low-hanging cover under the dash which was dragging on my toe when I went to shift, and I did an oil change. When you fix something, something else has to break in order to keep an equilibrium, so the cable that actuates the drivers door latch release mechanism had to give way. For the past week I've been having to reach back and open the rear door so that I can reach behind the B-pillar to grab the outside door handle so that I can get out of the car. Removing the drivers-side door card now allows me to actuate the mechanism without rolling down the window or opening the rear door.

                                  Such is the life...

                                    Awesome diagnostic tool you made there. Sounds like a transistor in the DME must be bad then?

                                      That seems like the most likely cause. The light flickers sometimes, but it seems to go between full on and full off. If it was a bad connection in the wiring I'd expect to see it go half lit at times. Will try to pick up a DME and a door latch cable today...

                                        Beautiful day today. I got up early and did bike stuff. My first time at Quarry Ridge. It's only about a 125 foot climb to the top, but I did it at least 10 time and my body loves me for it. I only stopped here to get my revenge on a small tree branch that bitch whipped me in the face the first time through.
