Snarky comments to people not wearing masks - wrong?

Snarky comments to people not wearing masks - wrong?
Yes, verbal comments about this are wrong and there's no need to shame people. It's passive aggressiveness...the worst kind of bullying. I would classify this similar to discrimination. Just understand that anyone shaming others should be prepared for retaliation, weather it's a strong come-back or even a punch to the face. You never know what kind of pent-up frustration someone may be holding in and your comment could be the thing that sets them off. People are really stressed out right now and this just adds to the fire. Just move along and take your own precautions.

New Product Idea. Distributor Timing Plate Re-Design
Just a quick idea, during the CNC machining, can they grind a small "D" on the bottom? I know it's been suggested, but, the idea is to use a small bit and only penetrate part-way through the thickness of the metal. If you do it during the machining, you won't need to write or paint it on the product.

Considering complete restore 1970 240z
I'm not too sure if Les Cannaday is still doing restorations, but, he has done a lot of restorations in the past. They were one of the shops to do restorations for the Nissan restoration program just before the 350z came out. He's done some cars for celebrities in the past as well. It looks like his website needs some work. However, the contact info looks correct: http://www.classicdatsun.com/contact/

The positives of quarantine
On a good note, I've been doing a lot of things around the house as well. Finally started working on the new window casings in our guest room. I'd start putting down tile for our guest shower, but, I have no idea how to do a shower pan the correct way. I'm also doing a lot of work on our boat -- replacing batteries and the water heater. Next I'll see if I can find a mount for the JDM Nismo fuel pump on my Z. Those suckers are hard to find!

Ugh, I think my washer is doing the same thing. I heard it's a big problem with the Samsung or LG brands...

- Found a Z432 for sale
Take a look at this one, appears to be for sale in Japan and bids currently around $230k USD / 25,000,000 JPY. Posting pictures for reference. https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/nissan/fairlady-z432/1970/727296- MSA Bullet Mirrors Installation?
I've installed these on my Z. It was quite a long time ago. I do remember that we had to remove the door panel and a wrench with a long extension and a knuckle to get through the tight area. It was a pain in the butt, and you'll need to find someone with small hands to help out. Before you tighten them completely (or install the door panel), make sure you sit in the drivers seat to make sure the mirror can be rotated to the correct position to look behind you.- Happy Anniversary!

Just make it an even $20 and it should cover shipping and your time.- New Product Idea. Distributor Timing Plate Re-Design
Nice idea. Question comes to mind though... could something like this damage an engine if timing is pushed too far one way or another? Maybe the current plate was designed to prevent this kind of issue?- Isolation Videos/Content to Keep Spirits High: Post Something (Non-Virus) for Entertainment of Others
And some actual trips on the steam train. I have to make a trip out to Colorado to give this a try...- Isolation Videos/Content to Keep Spirits High: Post Something (Non-Virus) for Entertainment of Others

My son plays the trumpet, and I like to find big band videos for him to get motivated for HS and College. This is one of the best videos I've found. It's in Kyoto, Japan along some of the major shopping areas. I could imagine what it sounds like in real life, especially in the covered areas!- Isolation Videos/Content to Keep Spirits High: Post Something (Non-Virus) for Entertainment of Others

This is certainly more dangerous than the flu. Did you see the news today from Italy? Over 600 dead from this thing TODAY. I'm not so worried about staying at home for a month while this thing blows over....- COVID-19
