Sorry about your buddy Rhyno, hope he recovers quickly and hope they catch the bastards that did it. Anyone else here play guitar? I've been dabbling for awhile off and on, I mostly play the drums, but I've always loved messing around with electric guitars and I'm finally going to treat myself and get an actual real USA made Gibson and not a Chinese version. Then I'm gonna spend some more money and get an actual good amp and have some sort of real tone. This is kinda like going from a Corolla to a Corvette in car terms

Just don't want to buy woefully underpowered junk if I can avoid it. Probably go with an 8GB M3-8100y unit, unless there are better/more affordable options.

Initial impressions of physical therapy (didn't expect them to start it today, but they did, immediately after my followup dr appointment): "this is easymode, is this really therapy?" A few hours later: "where the gently caress are the real painkillers? GET ME A WALKER AND SOME WAY TO GET DOWNSTAIRS  "Work when I call to update them:  Roughly an hour of various stretches plus a stationary bicycle. I feel the stretching so.loving.bad. The bike not at all except my ankle is a little sore, but I actually ride a bike now and then (up until last week) anyway. He broke out a protractor to see how much flexibility I have between each leg and each foot, and the difference is... pretty shocking. I'm normally pretty flexible, my right leg doesn't agree at this point. My right foot is just pins and needles; the physical therapist showed me the muscles, tendons, nerves, etc, showed which nerve is sandwiched between some angry muscles and tendons, and told me to expect it. Still on ultra-light duty restriction. That's if I can get down the drat stairs, I couldn't tonight. I'm sure I could if there was a fire, but it's not happening without a shitload of pain at the moment. Darchangel posted:Could try lubing I mean... the cable is pretty drat easy to replace if you can contort yourself under the dash, if it's like the WRX. On the bugeye WRX, the throttle pedal assembly just unbolts from the firewall, so you can hook the new cable to the pedal and thread it through instead of trying to do it under the dash. I'm hoping it's the same with Brokeback. It started sticking a little today, so I'm gonna go ahead and get a new one ordered. And yeah, I'm slowly moving, though the actual moving of (more) stuff is on hold because of my leg (right now just have some clothes, toiletries, and my laptop here). My stuff is mostly at old roommate's place, some stuff is in storage. I haven't really talked about it on forums or social media, and most details won't make it to here. I'm likely going to go ahead and pay rent for November at both places (I'm not on the lease at roommate's place, just a handshake with him to rent a room) just to give me some time to recover and actually get everything out. Also to give him more time to find a roommate. Rhyno posted:Somebody donated over $7500 to my dude's GFM and we're shell shocked.

Probably go with an 8GB M3-8100y unit, unless there are better/more affordable options. 8GB is what I would consider the bare minimum for Windows 10, to be honest. 4 is doable if it's a SSD (and a tablet is going to be a SSD), but it's going to hammer the swap file. Watch out for tablets that only have a 32GB SSD. I don't know how common they are now (particularly with something expensive enough to have an M3, but I bet they're still in low end tablets), but I know once the OS is installed and has even just temp files, swap file, a few security updates, etc, there's not enough room left to do a major OS update. Everything I've seen with a 32GB or 64GB has it soldered to the board. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Oct 20, 2020 |

https://streamable.com/t1129d I posted it a few lines up. I'm talking to the camera like a douche but it was a lot of fun pretending to be one of those guys that has a sticker with their instagram handle on their car. It's not the greatest pull nor is it the healthiest example of a 335d. The previous owner really beat the poo poo out of it. Still very fun though. STR posted:
It bugs me that most companies are still selling computers with 8gb ram on the base models. The 6th Gen X1 Carbon my company gave me has the optional 512gb SSD but only the base 8gb of ram. It's fine because I'm a salesman and pretty much only run excel, the software that I demo (which runs in browser), Outlook, WebEx, and Salesforce/Hubspot/CRM (which again runs in browser). It's just annoying to me because it would be so much faster if it had 16gb of ram. I open like 3 tabs in chrome on top of office and outlook and boom I've hit swap.

Super psyched my Rays are in the world series, been to so many games I can't even begin to count. Kinda sucks tho because of covid I wasn't able to go to any games but I'll take it. Also would be pretty cool to win it all right after our NHL team did it too. Could be Title Town in Tampa Bay soon

Looks like I missed quite a bit the last couple pages. Ether Frenzy, sorry about your friend. STR I hope you feel better soon bud. Thanks for reminding me to take some Motrin. Lately, I've been consumed by work and Anywho it's been good motivation to finally start cleaning out some of the poo poo that I've been hoarding for years. It's kickstarted my motivation to wrap up some projects and get rid of the stuff I don't need to get some extra money to buy more keyboards. I think once November is over though I'm gonna have to take a serious break though because I've spent WAY too much recently.

When I had PT for a pinched nerve in my thing that was causing pain in my groin area the PT lady did a thing called dry needling.It was a huge gently caress off acupuncture needle that she drove into my thigh and fished around until the nerve got unstuck. It was like immediate pain release. That and when she got my back to loosen up pushing on the vertebrae and it was like unzipping a zipper were the best feelings after being in pain for months on end.

Speaking of old bodies, I had a slight dirt bike mishap back in late August and separated my shoulder. After two weeks of not being able to even put on or take off a T-shirt without teeth grating pain, I finally dragged myself to the doctor, which I immediately regretted after two visits of “yup, grade II separation, just let it do its thing, also your AC joint is probably gonna stick out a little like that forever now, $950 (AFTER insurance) please.” It still doesn’t feel right, and I suspect it never will feel “normal” again

I mean, you're probably right. I was knocked off my motorcycle by a car ~10 years ago (dang, time flies...) and my shoulder still aches when it gets even a little cold. Like, Southern California "a little cold". Louis CK is a moron but he was pretty dead on about getting old. "That's just how it's going to be from now on."

I have a whole thing typed up, but I'm probably reading too much into it. The short version: I hope it's not covid holding you back. I get the concern, but there should be procedures in place for isolating potential cases from general population so exposure risks should be at least marginally mitigated. That's easy enough to validate by calling ahead. Ultimately, I hope you can get some help and get better dude. It sucks you're having these problems.

The Hummer EV is pretty danged impressive. Quoting myself from that thread: GM is pretty serious about this thing. 4-wheel independent suspension - good for ground clearance, 4-wheel steering. Crab mode! Air suspension with a lift mode. Underbody crawling cameras. It's not any uglier than any other modern pickup, really (not saying much...) and reminds me of an enclosed Halo Warthog. Price is whoo-boy, but it is a pile of neat stuff. The goons hand wringing over how dangerous it is to pedestrians over in the EV thread is... interesting. I suppose it's telling that the EV thread *isn't* in automotive insanity.

I'm looking for suggestions from engineering/fab-minded folks. A while back, I installed a sliding under-counter trashcan in the kitchen:  (I don't think I took a picture of it installed...) I want it to pull out when the door is opened. Currently, I have a bit of cord attached, which works, but doesn't push it *back* when the door is closed, and also introduces a shock when the door is opened, then the slack is pulled tight, before the drawer starts coming out. I removed one of the auto-close mechanisms to make it a little easier to pull out, BTW. It was pretty aggressive. Ideally, I would attach the door to the drawer, and just have the whole assembly slide out - in fact, brackets were included for that - but I have a 55-year old not-updated kitchen that uses external hinges, so it wouldn't look right, and if I remove the hinges, it would leave a scar that would have to be cleaned up. This is still a possibility, but what I'm looking for is some sort of semi-rigid sliding guide that I can attach, sort of like a car window roller, that would pull the drawer out when the door is opened, and push it back in when the door is closed. Here's a diagram of what I'm talking about :  I'm basically needing the bits in green and purple. I could probably fabricate something with C-channel and roller-skate bearings, but a nicely made existing solution would be nice. I ran across linear bearings/linear guides, as used in 3D printers, and those are relatively cheap from China: https://www.amazon.com/Yeahmart-Cylinder-Optical-Support-Bearing/dp/B07Z4X5ZCB/  https://www.amazon.com/Usongshine-Bearing-Sliding-Engraving-H-Type%EF%BC%8C300mm/dp/B07Y2SNX4R/  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001166133337.html  I like the first and last one most, as they would seem better suited to the pulling forces I'm anticipating. An additional thought is that I will need to be able to release the door from the drawer occasionally for access to the under cabinet area (think: plumbing) but not on a regular basis, so a nut and bolt are reasonable. Does anyone have a better idea, or know of a part better-suited to the application? I think the linear guide will work (and are cheap enough), but I don't want to overlook something better or cheaper that is just outside my knowledge. edit: with respect for getting older and stuff breaking. Yeah, knees, shoulders, ankles... None are non-functional, they're all just... creaky. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Oct 21, 2020 |
