There was a specific Warburton’s toaster once…

Edit: apparently there still is:

We have it on our Mazda 6, paid for the upgrade after we bought the car used, it costs a bit more because they change the usb ports to higher powered ones.
Still get speed limit warnings etc from the stock navigation when using Google maps so the best of both worlds.
It’s sometimes a bit picky with my wife’s pixel 3a, my 3xl has always been fine. May be user error…
I’d struggle to go back to a car without it.

There’s a Yamaha a320 going cheap on eBay. Would that be better than a Chinese class d?

Ooh, I found the pioneers for au$250. Bargain, I’ll order them on Monday.
Just need to find a class d amp that’s not shipping from china now!

Blimey, that’s a lot of replies!

So, I feel the general gist is to go for the amp and speakers route. I’ll be playing from my phone but I have a Cyrus Soundkey that I use for my headphones, so will probably just use that to connect to the amp. Wireless stuff isn’t a necessity as my phone will be sat next to the amplifier anyway.

The review of the Pioneers looked great, and said that they’re AU$200, but when i’ve looked they’re actually AU$479, but then the review was from 7 years ago.
I’ll have a search around and see if I can find some monitor audio bronze series, but i’m keen to go second hand.

Also some good tips on the amps.

Thanks all!

Edit. Image didn’t work

Water pump is usually switched by a micro switch in the tap, turn tap on and the pump starts.

Don’t know if its still the same, but there used to be two rockshox remote lockout options, pushloc and poploc.
One was locked out with no cable tension, the other was open with no cable tension. (can’t remember which was which).
The ‘open with no cable tension’ one was possible to change to a top mounted lockout knob by disconnecting the spring in the damper and changing the knob, I think PP from here did a write up on it.
I think you need to change the damper if it’s the other one.

Raspberry pi and DAC?

Toy libraries are a great idea.

They already exist though, most suburbs here in Melbourne have one this is our local one.

It does just prove the concept works though and should be introduced more widely in the world so get on it Saxon Jnr!

My wife is sick to death of my shit patter

Perhaps she’s been on Mumsnet and the trip is not quite what she was hoping for.

We use Bentley MicroStation, I’m sure you can checkout a license to use at home.
Can you do similar in AutoCAD?

RIP Proper gravy.

In theory yes.

You could download the OSM for NZ, and extract the GMAPSUPP file and put it onto your garmin via USB OTG. As long as your phone can see the garmin as a drive.

Follow instructions here (but modify to download to smartphone and copy relevant file over USB OTG):

Our bike storage at work has a bike stuff vending machine with tubes, lights, pumps etc in it. Some bits are cheaper than the bike shops too.

2005 V70 don’t just pop out.

I remember a lot of contortion and the involvment of a child’s mirror.

Boy, am I glad I have 1x Sram Doubletap. Small click, big click.

I’ve got SRAM Force 22, 2×11 and no trim. Note to Shimano: it is possible!

As an aside I never realised that there was also a trim on the small cog, I’ve only ever used the half shift down from the big cog, never the other way. I’m rather excited to get back on my shimano bike to experiment with it now!

Ah ok, didn’t know this was a thing with kindles, assumed they were tied to amazon

couldn’t cope without mine, but I’ve quite a few non Amazon books (shall we say)

Interested to understand what this means? I’ve got a normal kindle.

How do you pressure test a whole intake and exhaust system…?

Find a garage with a proper tester that puts pressurised smoke into the intake and then look for leaks where the smoke escapes.

Or spray easy start around areas you suspect may be leaking and see if the engine races.

Good to see you’re getting some use out of the dice.

Charges seem to run at 1% or higher which is wrong as well because they do the exact same job regardless of fund value.

Just finding it frustrating paying someone 10 grand for what is pretty much 5 hrs work.

If I were sitting on a potential transfer value of £1m then I think I’d pay the £10k for proper advice.

Reid are well priced, not sure if they are Melbourne only but well worth a look.

Bikes – performance
Boobs – comfort

Had it done around 18 months ago after over 2 years waiting for an ENT appointment.
Can breathe slightly better now but not convinced it worked really.
Was done in a crappy day clinic, had to leave after a few hours of waking up from the general. Thanks York Hospital.
Also told I was discharged straight after the procedure so no follow up appointment.
Was crap.
Now live in Oz, thinking of getting it checked over here to see if it worked or if they can fix it properly.

Hmm, interesting. There’s an Intex one on Groupon that also has a headboard. Again it appears to be the same construction…

I’m actually in Oz, I’ve found a aerobed in our friendly chain of department stores Here
But it looks very similar to the Coleman I linked to that is a third of the price… Hmm, I’ll see if I can find out if the internal structure is the same…

Edit: IKEA mattress not really possible as we wouldn’t be able to store it

Cloudy and 13 degrees here in Melbourne.

Republica – Ready to go

I had a set of M2 on my commuter, the rear seemed to leak from the piston seals as the pads quickly got contaminated and the paint had started to bubble like the caliper was corroding.

I just swapped them for the new clarks clouts (a bit cheaper than the m2), they seem to work fine, feel a bit less wooden to me than the m2 but that’s not particularly important for a sub £15 brake on a commuter.

Also came with olive and barb to shorten hoses. I shortened the rear using the shimano method so I didn’t need to bleed it, but the front has a lot of lever movement out of the box and i’m pretty sure needs a bleed (i’ve not shortened the hose on that one).

Overall seem decent, hopefully the caliper won’t go the same way as the m2 it replaced.

Also the clouts are in the CRC clearance sale thing that the current voucher code applies to.

There’s a very different attitude to this here in Oz, most people carry a reusable cup with them at work, my company even give a nice glass one to all new starters.
Seven eleven usually do a $1 coffee (no idea what its like but its very popular), for all of August they offered this for free to anyone using a reusable cup. Proper free too, you didn’t have to buy anything, you could just turn up and get unlimited free coffee all month, and they offered a cup recycling scheme for single use cups.
Nobody moans, everybody just recognises that it makes no sense to use a single use cup every day.

On the other side of the world things are pretty good, we’re coming out of hibernation and spring officially started at the weekend. The sunshine is here.

It’s nice to watch Brexit at arms length, a colleague of mine likened it to sitting on the beach with goggles on watching a mushroom cloud in the distance.

But I’m fairly sure that the slump happens at this time of year every year, as mentioned above – its the end of the holiday season, no joy till christmas now.

I noticed that, surely it can’t be 16kg!

All of these are better than a poke through.

Lynda Bellingham’s finger?

Have a look for yourself.

Sounds more like a job for an Access database, form to capture the data, database to hold it, report to output it?
(My knowledge of databases is around 15 years out of date)

Agree with the above comments on Handbrake, it shoud be what you need.

It may be a case that your disks have CSS protection? If that’s the case you may need to run them through DVD Decrypter first as I’m not sure whether handbrake can break the encryption itself.

Also, I seem to remember needing to change the preset on handbrake to match the aspect ratio and frame rate of a DVD as the default doesn’t match (or something, it was a while ago).

Reading that again, it’d be a lot easier if there was a ‘one click’ solution, which I don’t think handbrake is really.

edit: It appears that you can do some fettling to enable handbrake to deal with CSS and that site give a handy step-by-step guide to go from DVD – video file using handbrake.

If the weather is really bad, this soft play place is tolerable. It has a ‘death slide’ if you want to show how much of a scaredy cat you are in front of a load of kids.
Second the narrow gauge railway, don’t sit too far towards the front as it can get a bit diesel-y up there.
