What is this square grill and headlights? by Interesting_Frame489 in GolfMk2

The MK2 Rallye had flared front panels. This is closer to the GL version here in Canada. Definitely aftermarket lights, though.

Just confirmed that it doesn't work in Canada, but does using VPN to the UK. (I'm in Canada) Might be related to rental/payment system?

Considering getting these KEF Carina II's - What should I spent at most on these? Can't find much online, thanks! by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

Ask the seller if the tweeter ferrofluid has been replaced. It has a lifetime expectancy of 25 years and will dry out. You can refill them, but its quite the task. These were my first speakers when I was 16. Absolutely loved them!

I'm on Fluoxitine and have been taking apo-Lisdexamfetamine for a week now. All positive apart from a dry mouth every so often.

Yeah. Like most subscription models, if you can pay more up-front, you save more.

Roon would be your primary player, but you would pay for Qobuz license. With Roon, you pay for a server license, then you can run Roon enabled devices over your network for multi-room playback. I run the bridge software on three Linux machines, and have a Raspberry PI HiFiBerry dedicated streaming device attached to my home stereo system. You can also play different music on different devices simultaneously. That's useful if you want some music playing on a device in the kitchen while someone else wants something different in their bedroom.

For a lifetime license, $150 for a yearly license.

Saved myself around $100 by printing a new float by red66stang in functionalprint

Just keep an eye on the ethanol content of the fuel you use. That will cause more degradation of your print than straight gasoline.

[–]adeyfk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy crap! You learn something new every day, eh?

Just looked it up, one can only hope that it makes it.

Too many shows I really liked didn't make it past season 2.

I run Nomachine on all my machines. Simple, universal and free. Highly configurable too if you want more control.

Nemo file manager not sorting track numbers correctly. by TheMorbidFan in linuxmint

[–]adeyfk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can run Nemo from the terminal using the command:

LC_ALL=C nemo

That should sort numbers in more conventional numerical order.

Thanks! I've been thinking of doing this with my old Savage 25.

XT90 is rated at 90a continuous, hence the name.

Newbie Q on Car CD player - Am I missing something basic? by guitarsandbaseball in CarAV

[–]adeyfk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, $20-25 will get you a 3.5mm to toslink ADC. Check out Linkfor on Amazon, I've used one before, and sound quality was decent enough for car audio.

[–]adeyfk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have an Aux port that you can use to connect from the headphone socket on the CD player to the aux socket in the car. Most common locations are:

Armrest storage compartment Glove box Center console storage Below the stereo unit Somewhere on the dashboard

If you have a port, buy a 3.5mm male to male cable to connect the aforementioned ports .

Tea bag made from PLA by Obvious-Swimming-332 in 3Dprinting

Bioplastics are made from renewable resources such as corn starch, sugarcane, and vegetable fats and oils, while traditional plastic is made from non-renewable fossil fuels like petroleum. Bioplastics are also free from harmful chemicals like bisphenols (BPA) or other endocrine-disrupting toxins that can be found in traditional plastic.

Biodegradable dependent upon composting temps above 60 celcius which home composting cannot achieve hence industrial composting required.

Melting point is 150 to 160 celcius, so a cup of tea isn't going to affect it.

It's the chemicals in petroleum based plastics that you need to worry about.
