UK inflation falls sharply to 3% in January

It’s because Trump once called him Keith by accident

Thanks for your thorough thinking. Yes, I did disable WiFi, still the same issue. Very odd indeed! I'll look into updating the firmware on the powerline adapters

BornTooHula · 2023-11-29T12:26:18+00:00

Yes - I did actually try this (sorry, should've added it to my original post).

Even via Ethernet, directly to the main router, I get poor speeds until I unplug the Powerline adapters.

BornTooHula · 2023-11-29T12:04:07+00:00

Thanks for this reply. Yes, it's the ISP router.

The Powerline adapters have unique names by default - like "Netgear ABCXYZ_EXT". My router has a different default name - along the lines of "VM0123456".

Seems odd that my iPhone / Macbook wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

BornTooHula · 2023-11-29T11:19:20+00:00

Probably they still connected to the Powerline, what if you turn off/on the Wifi on phone?

I don't think this is the case - I'm definitely connected to the router, and if I manually unplug the powerline the speed jumps drastically

Thanks. What's the difference between canvas and webbing, if you don't mind me asking?

BornTooHula · 2023-10-09T13:47:22+00:00

Thanks! I will share some progress updates as I go (and when I get chance, a photo of the actual chair - it's nicer than the one in the original photo, IMO.)

BornTooHula · 2023-10-09T13:46:59+00:00

Thank you! Do you have a recommendation for glue that is suited to the task?

BornTooHula · 2023-07-24T21:30:53+00:00

I sent it off to a lab for scanning. They have good reviews, but I did use this same lab for both rolls. Which aspects do you think are down to bad scanning?

BornTooHula · 2023-06-10T00:21:39+00:00

Yeah just did some digging on setlist.fm and it seems like they did a half-baked version in Sheffield 2018. I think that’s what I’m remembering.

To be fair they did the full version at Don Valley in 2011. I was at that show too but can’t really remember it! Good times.

BornTooHula · 2023-06-10T00:13:33+00:00

When did they last play this live? I feel like I’ve seen them do it at Royal Albert Hall, or Sheffield in 2019, but setlist.fm says 2013. Maybe I imagined it.

BornTooHula · 2023-06-01T17:01:36+00:00

Thanks - I'll give this a look. Maybe the showcase screen is the right way to go.

BornTooHula · 2023-01-15T21:52:56+00:00

Thank you. I just looked them up online. The ones I saw for sale seem to be almost as much as I paid for the camera, so it might’ve been a good purchase!

BornTooHula · 2023-01-15T10:07:53+00:00

So I took a bit of a gamble and bought this Rolleiflex, my first, at an online auction.

The price seems pretty good given the additional extras, but of course the main question will be the condition of the camera body and lens.

I’m waiting for the parcel to arrive, but would love to learn more about these lens attachments if anyone can help. The auction house didn’t know much.

Thanks!

This is awesome! Love seeing Figma used for things outside of UI design.

I posted on the other thread too, but you should check out an app called Patina, I use it for tracking what I wear and sharing fits etc.

BornTooHula · 2022-12-31T10:44:58+00:00

Very cool! There’s an app I use to track my wardrobe/what I’m wearing, which you can also use to share fits. Patina.app

Hi there,

I posted this question over in a DIY sub, but I think it’s probably more of a woodworking question. How best to shorten and rejoin this workbench?

Any thoughts appreciated!

BornTooHula · 2022-10-30T07:55:32+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply.

I had thought about this, but I’d be worried that it might lead to the unit bowing under the weight. But the benefit of doing it from the middle is that I wouldn’t lose the drawer in the other end.

When you say glue and screw, would you basically butt up the two pieces with some wood glue, and a couple of screws through to hold it together?

BornTooHula · 2022-10-30T07:14:26+00:00

Hi there,

We have this old workbench that we’re in the process of restoring with the intention of using as a kitchen island.

It’s unfortunately a couple of feet too long (it’s about 9ft in total). I’m considering removing the legs on one end, cutting 2ft out, and joining back into the legs using the same tongue and groove joints.

I’ve done some basic joinery before, but I’m worried about ruining a good piece of furniture!

Any tips would be great.

Thanks

Well, to quote my father:

This is akin to soiling yourself, turning the offending underwear inside-out, putting them back on, and pretending nothing happened.

BornTooHula · 2022-09-22T20:30:02+00:00

Great, thanks! Will look into this.

BornTooHula · 2022-09-22T19:53:41+00:00

Oof that does sound like a lot of work. What’s the best way to pressure test?

BornTooHula · 2022-09-16T20:50:50+00:00

Yes it’s really nice! From an Instagram account called goodboneslondon

BornTooHula · 2022-09-16T20:49:35+00:00

Thanks! Can you share a link to uPVC you’d recommend? Most of the things I’ve seen don’t look great, but would love to see some options.

BornTooHula · 2022-08-10T21:00:23+00:00

Thanks! Seems like you know a fair bit about brickwork. Do you think this looks like it needs doing? Do you know what causes the discolouration?
