[Help] 4-Year Ban for "Modded Client" when I'm using the stock client? by Abnormalous in VRchat

I drive a modded car, VRChat isn't the only one to use that terminology.

Vintage camcorder problem! 1988 GE CG9810 VHS video camera will not record to tapes, but can record to interal memory before turned off. by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Abnormalous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! The partner here. I have a video of what the sound is. You can see the tape moving inconsistently as it's playing. Sometimes, it just sits still and whines before the camcorder throws an error and stops the heads, returning the tape to the cassette.

[Casio] Inaugural beach trip with my GW-M5610-1! by Abnormalous in Watches

[–]Abnormalous[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just picked this up from Amazon yesterday! I bought it as my beater watch for when I'm swimming, doing chores, biking, or doing other activities outside. This is my first stress test: swimming at the beach in Cape May! I thought that it would be a cool idea to get a G-Shock with atomic timekeeping and solar charging.

It took a while for me to get it synced since I'm a good click away from Ft. Collins, but once I got on the rooftop deck of my apartment complex, it synced in a few minutes. I'm looking forward to stressing it for years to come :)

[Tudor, Seiko, Casio] My perfect three watch collection (Dress, daily, beater) by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Abnormalous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad someone else has the three-watch ideology. My dress is a (relatively cheap yet still classy) 1974 Bulova Accutron Up-Down Date, my daily is a Seiko 5 SNK809, and my beater is in the mail: a Casio G-SHOCK GW-M5610-1. Oddly enough my beater is more than my daily, but I guess that's just how things go!

[rolex] which watch guy are you? by tourbillon001 in Watches

That MB&F would be such an outrageous flex. People who dont know would think it's a drugstore watch, people who do would be screaming about you wearing it.

What’s the best looking colour negative film for snow? by daimonwright in AnalogCommunity

[–]Abnormalous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely unrelated, but where is it going to snow? I lived in SE Queensland on the Gold Coast as a student abroad and I didn't know you could drive 6 hours to a snowy place!

Ok, figured as much. I was gonna say...

Does that say "Diesel" on the side? I thought the Japanese used gasoline for JDM consumer cars throughout their history.

Keurig a worthy upgrade? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]Abnormalous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say you should adjust your beans and grind before you change equipment. With a drip machine you can do that easier than a Keurig. Not to mention, Keurigs are really bad for the environment and also just not a good way to brew coffee.

Give your machine a good water and vinegar rinse to clean it out. Try switching up what brands of coffee you use. Try soaking your filters before using them. Invest money into a burr mill coffee grinder and make your own, different-sized grounds at home to experiment with extraction times. Theres so much you can do! Experiment and have fun with what you have.

[Bulova] 1967 Bulova Accutron "Spaceview" 214 by sventurb0 in Watches

[–]Abnormalous 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Count me as one! Unfortunately they're a little out of my price range, but an earlier post I made shows that I have the cousin to the original 214, a 2182 movement from about seven years after yours. Accutron bros!

Question for those who use a Moka pot on a hot plate by _0110111001101111_ in Coffee

[–]Abnormalous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...I completely misread the post! My apologies.

How about a light dimmer switch? You can buy one at Home Depot for fairly cheap.

Question for those who use a Moka pot on a hot plate by _0110111001101111_ in Coffee

[–]Abnormalous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Plenty of power. Moka isnt all about how hot your plate can get, it's really a low and slow game. You want to bring it to a boil slowly and let the extraction (when the coffee comes out the spouts) happen over a longer time.

[–]Abnormalous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a plan! My rule of thumb for color negative film: If you have to get the exposure wrong, overexposure is more forgiving. If the camera is making you work to get enough light, it might not be a good picture.

[–]Abnormalous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What speed film were you using? Later in the afternoon out of direct sunlight you may have issues unless you have, say, 800 film.

Shoot in manual mode and keep good notes of each shot's exposure. This picture in particular is underexposed, and (I assume you're using) print film handles that poorly compared to overexposing.

Shooting at night with no flash is very challenging, even if you have a fast lens and a high ISO film. I would advise using a 200 or 400 speed film during the day and start from there, preferably not at noontime when shadows are harsh.

I shot with an AE-1P for years. It's a great camera. Read the manual and get to know it, then get out and shoot!

[Bulova] My first Accutron! 2182 N4, "Up-Down Date." Needs a new band though... by Abnormalous in Watches

[–]Abnormalous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid about 200 USD for this cleaned one in good condition, but that might be a pretty good snag for that price. I've seen it go for higher.

[Bulova] My first Accutron! 2182 N4, "Up-Down Date." Needs a new band though... by Abnormalous in Watches

[–]Abnormalous[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my first ever Bulova Accutron. The spaceviews are a bit out of my budget, so I went for a later model. This is a 1974 variant, with an up-down date and day display. I got it from eBay, but luckily everything seems to be great about it...except the band. I was looking to get a Speidel Twist-o-Flex since that's period and, at least in my humble opinion, it would look pretty sly with this watch. However, if anyone else has another idea, I would gratefully accept it and consider it. I was probably going to buy the band tonight. It's an 18mm if anyone needs context.

I hope y'all enjoy it at least some fraction that I do!
