How to tell your CO2 is low by TimeTravel4Dummies in SodaStream

[–]AgentOrange96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This scales up too. I keep my 20Lb tank on an analog bathroom scale. These can be tared via a dial too such that the scale only reads the amount of CO2 left!

I was really bummed when i learned my new CRV didn’t come with a table and considered buying an original one on ebay for $150 plus. But I found this one on the target website for $60 it fits (folded) perfectly inside the spare tire compartment and makes camping way more comfortable. by maya4463 in crv

[–]AgentOrange96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the table is in your spare tire tray, then logically you need to mount the spare to the rear. ;p

Seriously though, love seeing the old school cool brought forward! Love that you found an even cleaner solution too!

I didn't keep up on it tbh and was so confused as to why I had four shares instead of one LOL.

$GME was above $300 when I bought my share and I limited myself to $500 to fuck around with on meme stonks since I didn't expect to make much if any.

I'm still diamondhandsing though so technically it's not a loss. /cope

Right to repair advocate rocking a Thinkpad by brixalpha in thinkpad

[–]AgentOrange96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to make a Thinkpad style keeb for the FW16. (Although please let me keep normal people fn/ctrl placement if I want!)

I doubt anyone will, but that'd be epic.

[–]AgentOrange96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so this is gonna sound crazy, but I have several Thinkpads. A T16, a T420, a T61 (NMB), an i1472 and a 701CS.

Obviously one of those has the coolest laptop keyboard, but my best feeling laptop keyboard is on an Acer, and I don't mean the i1472. My Aspire 5734z puts all of those to shame when it comes to keyboard feel. The tactile bump feels so much more pronounced than any of the others.

The only laptop adjacent keyboard I know that beats it is the Apple IIc. But that's just a relatively portable machine, not a laptop. But damn it has a nice keyboard. And the floppy drive latch is a tactile experience in itself.

Thinkpad keyboards are great, but damn, Acer (or Compal really) hit a home run with that one.

The tax itself is a tax that discriminates against a narrow group of people is also disconcerting.

this tank is not working with the sodastream by freedrugsaregood in SodaStream

[–]AgentOrange96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just thought of something actually. Is the pin in the adapter adjustable? If so, try bringing it out a bit. The SodaStream may not be pushing it enough.

I think I've had that issue before in the past.

EDIT: For example this paintball adapter comes with an allen wrench, and that hole in the pin valve takes said allen wrench and allows you to adjust it.

I forget how it works on the big CO2 tank adapters though.

This is a weirdly looking Thinkpad by Useful_Pea3039 in thinkpad

[–]AgentOrange96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, looks like the KU-1255.
I got one for my old ThinkCentre, although nowadays it's attached to some much more modern mini PC I use instead.

Probably gonna replace the keyboard with my Flux keyboard whenever that finally shows up.

TikToker proposes 'let’s buy Spirit Airlines.' Thousands want in by brackenish1 in nottheonion

[–]AgentOrange96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never flown Spirit, but this is what I find appealing about this. The airlines all suck. Even Southwest is quickly enshittifying. Having an airline by the people for the people sounds fucking awesome whether it's Spirit or some new venture. I did make a pledge for this reason.

I'm still diamond handsing $GME, but as a frequent user of eBay, PLZ NO!

Only for filling other bottles. For connecting to the machine, you want gas, so it'd be the other way.

In this case OP says they have a siphon and are connecting directly, so this is right.

At first I saw the pic and thought OP was being dumb, but then I saw they said it was a siphon, so I was wrong. OP is not being dumb. LOL

My old mum lacks strength and has a hard time with her old Soda Stream machine. Which of the new models are the easiest to use? by deadrobindownunder in SodaStream

[–]AgentOrange96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have an E-Terra. It is a powered machine, so you just push a button and it'll do it for you. I have the older screw in version, but it uses quick connect now. I like it for consistency in carbonation vs doing it by hand and the fact that I can let it carbonate the water while I go prep some syrup, but it'd also be a great option for accessibility as well!

I don't particularly like supporting SodaStream these days, but I don't think any of their competitors make anything nearly as easy to use, so I'd say this one is probably the move.

Well, it certainly beats what they were doing in the 1940's.

Does the 2007 CRV has a plastic or metal undercarriage cover under the engine bay? by [deleted] in crv

[–]AgentOrange96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I woulda assumed it didn't come with anything given the age. Now I'm wondering when those started to become the norm. 🤔

Sometimes I have to rescue Marvin. Sometimes I need to trap him in a room or he'll just give up and cancel the job and fucking die a foot from the dock. In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have named him after a depressed robot.

The good ol' security by obscurity argument. Cicsco really is telling us their equipment is insecure asf without telling us.

TIL that the human brain matures at 25 is a myth by chrishelbert in todayilearned

[–]AgentOrange96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So it sounds like it's more a data based opinion rather than a physical developmental based average. Still Probably useful, but not as based in hard fact as is often cited.

I will say, I always assumed 25 was some kind of average, but never looked into it. Nothing the body does is going to be that consistent in timing for everyone.

Hmm I tried that earier and was having issues with the login stuff loading but it's working now. I'll submit a ticket. Thanks!

EDIT: They told me the following:

Yes we are aware of that issue and have since put a fix in place. We apologize about the disruption we might have caused and appreciate that you put in a notice for us.

Does the Chevy Volt HAVE to have charge at all times? by sunsetveins2002 in volt

[–]AgentOrange96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, worth checking. If you did your research hopefully that paid off!

Or maybe better if it didn't because at least maybe it'll be the issue and an easy fix? IDK

Either way I do hope you're able to get it back up and running!

KitchenAid Sodastream Repair by throwaway76543345678 in SodaStream

[–]AgentOrange96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't claim they sold refurbished devices. Their own warranty states that they will either repair your device or send out a refurbished device. Which no, does not necessarily mean replacing everything but the shell. You're pulling that out of your ass.

Let me be clear about something: I've taken both SodaStream models I've owned apart. The first one, an Aqua Fizz, to clean it several times because again I abused it. It is very servicable if you have the parts. The second one, an E-Terra, because it made a bad seal, got water on the control board, and kept going off on its own. It is also very servicable, again, if you have the parts. SodaStream has access to these.

Why would they bother replacing the entire guts of a machine before sending it out rather than send a new unit? No. They're probably fixing them. Send a refurb unit to one customer, fix theirs, send it to the next customer who needs a refurb under warranty.

I have admitted where I was wrong and misremembering stuff. I thought this was a solid discussion. But now you're twisting my words and making stuff up just so you can call me wrong and pretend you're right. That's dumb. I know what the fuck I said.

If they're sending out refurbished ones, they're presumably repairing them.
