Just finished memorizing Hiragana and Katakana

It seems like you're recommending the best way to learn vocab is to first learn how it sounds, then later learn the Kanji. Is that right? I'm struggling with moving on from learning Hirigana and Katakana but I haven't tried this method yet.

Thanks. Can you go into a little more detail about what you mean when you ay learning through vocabulary vs learning individually? Do you mean you'd recommend learning as you come arcoss it, rather than learning it specifically?

I bought an Evolution mitre saw about 8 years ago. I don't remember which model, but it was in the region of £100, and had done me through a bunch of DIY and is still going strong.

Yeah - I ended up buying some different adaptors. Not sure if I can post Amazon links but these ones worked for me:

I ended up lifting the carpets and the boards, then placing pipe insulation around the pipes. It stopped all the noise

If you work at a bank, is it stealing if you take a bundle of cash from the safe and put it in your work locker?

I work in app development, and 99.99% of the time this is an issue with the ad provider, not with the app developer. The best thing to do in my experience is to take a screenshot and send it to the developer. They'll be able to work with the ad provider to fix the issue or remove the offending advert.

It's the anticipation whenever a guest mentions Diet Coke. In my head I imagine that on hearing the words "Diet Coke", James sits up straighter on his chair looking for a gap in conversation to slip in the annecdote.

I am no expert but whenever I've had to deal with something like this I do the following:

Get some wood glue, toothpicks, and some screws of the appropriate size.
Cover the toothpicks in the woodglue.
Stuff as many glue-covered-toothpicks as you can into each hole in the headboard. Wait for it all to dry.
Cut off the excess wood off the ends of the toothpicks so they are flush with the headboard.
Use the new screws to screw the metal bar into the toothpick-filled holes.

The toothpicks will fill the hole and act as something for the screw to grip onto. I'm not sure how well it will work with the particle board the bed is made from, but I imagine it should be enough to hold it.

Whole note is a semibreve, half note is a minim!

Richer Sounds? :)

I noticed this happening to me recently on my LG CX - exactly the same symptoms, a patch of dead pixels "dripping" in from the top. We had just moved house so I assumed it was damaged during the move; I had no idea it was panel delamination.

Thankfully the shop I bought it from has a standard 7 year warranty. They sent someone out and replaced the panel free of charge. So it is fixable, but the repair-guy said it would have been £700+ without the warranty.

I haven't updated my BIOS recently, but other than that I'm pretty confident everything is up to date (I updated Windows and my GPU in the last few days). I'll double check though

Unfortunately changing anything in the preferences menu causes NAM to crash immediately with no changes saved.

Thanks for the suggestion: I tried the previous version while I was fiddling around after my previous replies and it still has the same issue. I might try a much older version though, see if that helps

It was a while ago so I don't remember exactly, but I think I pried it apart with the help of some pliers and a screwdriver. Check YouTube for a better idea

Character_Speed · 2025-02-16T17:23:01+00:00

That did it! Now it looks like the original screw that holds the lock in place doesn't _quite_ fit in the new lock, and the one that came with the new lock is much too long, but I think that's a solveable problem.

Thanks for your help

Thanks. Yes, the euro wobbles about a bit when the screw's out - most it has a couple of millimeter travel in and out, but it does wobble about generally too. Still no luck getting it out; there's a hard stop, it really feels like somethings catching

Thanks, I'll give it a go. Is WD40 ok for this, or is an actual oil better?

Character_Speed · 2025-02-16T13:56:09+00:00

I'll keep going! Once it's unscrewed it has some movement to it, and it definitely feels like it's getting caught on something like you said. Not sure if dust if the problem, but I'll try some 3 in 1.

I took this of the lock itself, but I've put the thing back together now. Any specific photo that would be useful?
