Kia Optima Brake Lights Wont Turn Off Fix - Also Fixes TCS Light, and Other Issues

This was interesting and I thought I'd share this because it was just going to be a quick video on the repair on the switch itself, because the rubber gets old and cracks causing the primary issue, but what was more interesting, is due to the integration of all of the systems of the car, how many other systems become effected.

Even more interesting is Google does NOT want you to see this video and has removed every trace of it from their search engine so i'm adding links to is everywhere

Yamaha 650 Quick Carburetor Clean / Repair Series

Seems to be given any amount of time that the jets in the emulsion tube of each carb will clog causing the engine to die just off idle.  Even if the carbs are perfectly clean, this issue causes an interesting closure to form, a perfect circle which reduces the jet size in a uniform fashion.  For these situations it is not necessary to remove the carbs from the bike, and a quick clean of these particular jets can be accomplished.

This Three part series described the whole procedure in detail

Commodore 64 Halloween special - Power supplies of Death

This is my attempt at special effects.   Something you will be surprised to know that I don't do professionally.  I do however know a crappy ass power supply when I see one.   You will however find within the video that although both the top and bottom of the sine wave is employed in the rectification for DC I make an observation strictly from a parts perspective (or lack thereof) with regard to their missing diodes, versus a 4 diode bridge rectifier.  All across the internet Pocket protectors spontaneously combusted, slide rules exploded.  Good thing I don't discuss Politics here.  The internet is a rough place, even in ubergeekdom.
