AsmaraHolding··on I Built the Only 2026 WWII Jeep
Sorry, I wasn’t meaning to say that they were spitfires in particular that they pushed into the sea. I believe they were actually F4U Corsairs in that case.

The terms of the lend lease agreement meant that Britain only had to pay for the equipment it kept after the war. So in some cases they were pushing aircraft of the deck of carriers into the sea so they didn’t have to pay for them.

It’s incredible how much the Industrial Revolution was a purely British endeavour. The contributions of other major global powers like France, Spain, and the US were negligible compared to Britain and occurred much later.
AsmaraHolding··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
Awsome. I'm planning on adding the Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 EFI system to my AMC 360. One feature I really want to add to the app is prebuilt templates for popular aftermarket EFI, ECU, and Digital Dash setups from Holly, Edelbrock, Haltech, and Dakota Digital.
AsmaraHolding··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
I’m developing X/D Loom (https://xdloom.com), a tool that helps car enthusiasts create automotive wiring diagrams.

About a year ago, I engine-swapped my Nissan D21 hardbody from the Z24 petrol to a TD27T turbo diesel and also installed a whole bunch of accessories, like spotlights, a winch, and an air compressor. But being lazy, I didn’t write down any of the wiring changes I made while doing all of this. So fast forward a year, and now I can’t remember how all the wiring works.

My current project car is a Jeep Cherokee FSJ, and for it, I want to build a completely new loom from the ground up. So to try and avoid making the same mistake I made with the Nissan, I Googled “create automotive wiring diagram”, but all the results were for complex enterprise grade solutions charging $200/month. That’s why I created X/D Loom as a project car guys' tool for creating wiring loom diagrams. It allows you to drag different electrical components onto a canvas, connect them with wires, and export them to a PDF or PNG.

AsmaraHolding··on America underestimates the difficulty of bringing manufacturing back
Isn’t that simply the inherent risk associated with business ventures? Not every investment will yield a profit. I recall reading about Ward Parkinson, one of the founders of Micron Technology.
