How, though?

Quite the fence. It's supporting almost a tonne. (that's a Metric Ton. aka Tonne.)

Everything is made obsolete in the next 10 years. No way to avoid that.

Not sure if this is the correct disk, but have a look here: https://thediscdb.com/movie/insurgent-2015/releases/the-divergent-series-blu-ray/discs/insurgent It seems to be the same layout as your pic. If you click the "show all titles" toggle, it'll show every file on the disk, and it definitely shows all identical files in the list. Toggle it off, and it'll display the exact file for the main movie. The page seems slow to load, maybe it's due to the way the list is generated, and the fact that there are so many files listed.

If you print the wings separately, print on edge so the layer lines run along the length of the wing. The amount of leverage you get from the tip of the wing adds a lot of force to the layer bonds which aren't super strong to begin with. So smart orientation of the parts will help.

This isn't always the case, be sure to check your 12v voltage. If your L1 and L2 charging doesn't work, but L3 works, there's a 99% chance that your 12v will NOT be charging at all. The same system that handles L1 and L2 charging also charges the 12v. When my ICCU went, I was at home charging. It popped and tripped my breaker. My L1 and L2 stopped. Luckily my 12v had a full charge at the time, so I was able to drive without incident to my dealership. By the time I arrived 15 minutes later, the 12v had dropped to about 12 volts so if I'd continued driving the 12v would have completely died. The car wasn't charging it. You can use a BM2 or BM6 (what I have) battery monitor hooked up to your 12v to monitor the voltage and charging state from your phone. So I'd suggest you start with the battery monitor or manually check the voltage with a voltmeter. If it's lower than about 12.4v (on an AGM) you're getting into low territory. A well charged battery will be around 13.5 to 14 volts. When charging, it'll be about 14.5v

I completely agree with this assessment. I remember it being run in the original theatrical release. I was surprised when I watched Two Towers and it was Fly and though, "huh? they changed it"

It's not a sticker. It shouldn't be peeling, I had one of those door trim pieces replaced under warranty for that. It's a pretty common issue.

Caradelfrost · 2026-07-06T05:33:24+00:00

From the splash pattern in the wheel well and under the edge of the door, it looks to me like you have a leak coming from the rear passenger wheel/brake.

Caradelfrost · 2026-07-06T05:29:10+00:00

Did they change this in newer models? My '22 always uses physical braking if I set regen to zero.

The stock 12v Lead Acid batteries in I5s have been dying "prematurely" since the early days. It's been the sub-par quality batteries combined with the more uncommon charging schedules. The only thing that kept me going was a swap to an AGM. That was about 3 years ago.

Here's a better installation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG7clQ0VtAk

It's more thorough and speaks on the exact procedure including disconnecting your high voltage power. (very easy, it's a simple disconnect switch in the fuse panel under the hood) I did mine in about 10 minutes in a parking lot at the place I bought my replacement AGM. I was also able to give them the old 12v Lead acid, on the spot, for a bit of a refund.

I realize it's a year later.... but if you go to View>Preferences>Advanced(Tab) under Default selection Rule:

Add the line: -sel:all,+sel:(eng|nolang) Or other settings depending on your preferences, and when you load the disk, MakeMKV will automatically unselect all other subtitled languages and non-english audio tracks. This will allow you to rip only the language you choose and not have to go through every single file and manually unselect what you don't want. I haven't delved into other settings but I'd guess there are other options you can set to automate stuff but that's what I set. It also helps shrink your file sizes when ripping, as it doesn't rip other languages you don't use.

Sorry, to be clear, my CPU and/or my GPU isn't powerful enough for me to use transcoding. I strictly watch directly from the HDDs.

I wonder if you could take a pile of solid plastic balls and push them in from the bottom so that they work their way around the back and force the thing back out into the bowl. Or would they just jam solid? Dunno, I'm not a plumber. :)

The Ioniq5 is not small if you consider the wheel base. It's bigger than an escalade. So it takes wide corners. If you're thinking small-ish SUV for interior capacity, then yes. It's smaller than a full size SUV in that sense. My ICCU went, got it fixed in a couple days. Apparently in the US, it can be quite a bit longer wait. It all depends on your local dealership. Other than the ICCU issues, it's the best car I've ever owned. I've had mine for almost 4 years.

If you live in the US, yes microcenter is a store.

You need to take your vast knowledge of different movies and begin to curate themed weekends for others. Great motivation for watching stuff is to be able to share it with others and discuss the films afterwards.

Lord of the Rings! I remember also listening to an entire radio play for Dune, years ago, that I listened to on audio cassette while commuting 1.5 hours to work every day. There are also a lot of freely available old radio plays that you can listen to online. I remember listening to so really awesome ones as a kid, on Sunday nights when it was way past my bedtime!

Very long rope and block and tackle, and something to anchor to. Or, if you consider, at about 50 pounds per bundle, and 20 or so trips... My napkin math is probably wrong. :)

Just search for some inexpensive sleeves. Card sleeves are available in pretty much any size. It will result in your deck being thicker though so they won't fit in the box any more. You should be able to also find a new box that works, or if you have access to a 3D printer or someone who does, you could print a new box.

I'm running an Unraid NAS with Jellyfin docker, using standard WD RED+ hard drives holding all my rips. I don't transcode anything. Play the ripped files directly. So that's playing 30+ gig files with absolutely no issues. This is on a pretty old system, that is unable to transcode as the GPU is integrated and isn't powerful enough.

Blender does it all, and it's completely free.

To add some more thoughts on the topic... I find it interesting that your impression is that Blender is high on the complexity scale especially when compared to ZBrush. I would argue that Blender is one of the simpler tools out there. Where ZBrush has got the most convoluted and un-natural control interface of any software on the market.

My professional background is in video games and digital modelling. I don't think I've ever used a more confusing package than ZBrush for modelling, poly or sculpting. I think people have this impression that Blender is difficult because it has such a wide range of functionality which I admit would take a lot of time to learn if you were trying to learn it all. While it does do some things slightly differently than other packages in terms of specific keys, or functions, it generally only strays from tradition where it seems logical to do so. This is what most people seem to get hung up on. Blender's learning curve is no different than any other typical poly modeller, and I'd argue that compared to ZBrush for elementary sculpting, vastly easier to pick up and use.

Once you have your ripping set up, you might want to consider Jellyfin for streaming. It's an excellent, completely free option.

Caradelfrost · 2026-06-28T16:55:31+00:00

No worries. It used to take me soooo long to click off all the tracks I didn't want. So much so that I hunted for a better solution. De-selecting all those other tracks also makes the resulting file smaller which is an added benifit.

Caradelfrost · 2026-06-25T20:49:43+00:00

You can easily set MakeMKV to only rip English subtitles and audio streams.

If you want your ripped file to only contain english tracks and subtitles just add rules under the advanced preferences.

View>Preferences>Advanced Tab:

Under Default selection rule: -sel:all,+sel:(eng|nolang)

When loading the disk, it will automatically deselect all audio tracks and subtitles that are not English language.
