This thread amuses me (to answer the question, I'm not a furry, but I do take blame for finding amusement in figuring out and suggesting better ways to manufacture stuff, fursuits included.)
Is it a bad sign that I can name at least 4 friends that are furries (yes, I do corrupt them with ideas on how to streamline construction and improve thermal management because I get bored, my thermal dissipation system mk 3 design is basically many small ducts that use the skin of the back as one of the walls of the duct and a few squill cage blowers to force air through the ducts (the original intention of the design was to raise the thermal dissipation while biking uphill in 100F+ heat with direct sunlight, but that was easy to design so that it could run passive and active with a tiny power budget and thus known as mk 2)) and can spot a furry with a prohibitively small amount of data about that person (and I haven't made a false guess yet)?

(Mk 1 was mk 2 but built under the assumption that I could use a mister to limit how much water was lost to sweat in the system (on the really hot days, baseline water consumption exceeds 4l/day.) I concluded that there would be more benefit from decreasing the power requirements by ditching the pump and letting sweat glands keep up with the evaporation due to the headaches of implementing total loss evaporative cooling.)

When it's 100F+ outside this would be so useful with a fursuit, and no. It's not a bad thing :P.

You knew this when you were 13? My parents believed in spanking til their kids were 18, but they made an exception for me as they found out I liked it.

I would ask how they figured it out, but I'm afraid of the answer.

Closest thing I've seen to this is team mascots; furries/cosplay isn't my ball of wax but good on you and keep it up.

I think it's awesome that a 21 year old is into ecomodding, and has the knowledge to put up some sick numbers and help others on the site! RESPECT! I was curious about your screen name, now I get it.

I'm no furry, but I judge people by how they treat themselves and others, and you sound normal enough. Your explanation of the furry thing sounds like you know WHO YOU ARE, and that's what counts. You're Ok in my book.

I'm 34 now, and frankly I should have started into the cars about 15 years ago (got into hvac instead) but the cars are an obsession. I wish I knew more.

Pretty awesome that we have this site to pick the other guy's brains when we get stuck, though

keep it up!
Victor.
