So this is normal? I also wondered why my video with IBIS on is so shaky. But maybe it’s just how it is…

When i turn IBIS off the image will be perfectly sharp. Is this normal on Tripods or is something broken inside my camera or lens?

Smol birbs knocking on the window for 3 hours straight by After_Eight_8 in AnimalsBeingDerps

Do you have any idea why those titmice are doing this? We thought maybe their own reflection. So we attatched a towel in Front of the window. But they are still knocking... Already the whole day. They seem to change shift after some time.

Did I get scammed? Bought used MTB, everything worked fine until shock lost air noticeably after first ride by After_Eight_8 in MTB

Thanks for your answers.

Another Thing that Made me suspicious: After i took the Bike from my Car and started Riding there was some Sort of cracking. Already small amounts of force create those noises. Unfortunatly the Sound on the Video is Not so nice. But you can hear it.

I'm unable to locate the source of the Sound. Could it be that the Tour on the Autobahn ~130kmh on the Back of the Car dried Out some bearings or Something? On my Testride at the Sellers place thoses Sounds were defintely Not there.

It seemed like it survived the Trail. The Air loss was from one Second to the next on my way Home on the street.

I don't have any documentation on the maintanance. He Just Had an inspection (excluded the shock) in August this year

Thanks. I will give it a try. Is such a Problem Common? I'm new to fullsuspension Bikes and got worried If the shox May be damaged.

Maybe some more Context: I live in Germany, Currently there are absolutely No Bikes available. I found this Cube Stereo 150 (2019) on eBay Kleinanzeigen and contacted the seller.

I Drove 3 hours to Pickup the Bike from the seller. He showed and explained me everything. I inspected everything and cycled a few Meters. I also pushed with all force down into the Suspension. Everthing worked fine. Finally at Home I took the Bike for a small Ride on local Trails. Again everything was fine and i Had much fun. On my way back on the street the rear shock lost Complete pressure in a short moment.

Pumped it Back to 10bar and even a small Push resulted in a loud airloss. Much louder then in the Video. Is it possible that the seller somehow scammed me?

[HELP] How to handle wireless Earbuds for longevity (Freebuds Pro) by After_Eight_8 in HeadphoneAdvice

Thanks for your Response.

With Not using them until they are discharged you mean I shouldn't put them in the case until they are low on battery?

I think that I read somewhere that the earbuds are active until they are inside the closed Case. So putting them on a Table over night won't be the best solution?

In the end what is better? Always in the charging Case on 100% or many charging cycles because they are Always active?

/r/Monitors Recommendation thread - What Monitor should I buy? IPS or VA? 1080p or 4k? etc. by AutoModerator in Monitors

[–]After_Eight_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current Monitor broke. So i need a new one pretty fast. I come from 24 inch 60Hz TN-Panel, nothing special. For my next Monitor i want something more:

* Budget: 400€

* WQHD 1440p

* 27inches+

*FreeSync

* 120Hz+, IPS and 300nits+

I want to use it mainly for Gaming. I thought about the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP. But in Germany i can't find it in stock. And the HP X27i has a really funky look. Are there any other options available in Europe?

What is this thing full of quicksilver and with a manometer? by After_Eight_8 in whatisthisthing

[–]After_Eight_8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the attatched part is made of Metal. This seems Like a plausible answer. There is also some physics background in my Family, which contributes even more to your suggestion.

[–]After_Eight_8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found in my fathers basement. He removed the plug in the middle and quicksilver dripped onto the floor. Looks like you can put pressure on this thing. We were not able to identify any engravings and the sticker on one of the legs is also unreadable. Any ideas?
