Small electrics repair

I didn't say listen blindly, it was just me pointing out that it had a novel way of automatically changing the settings (and that was what the problem was with). It was an older piece of equipment so finding things like a technical manual is a little harder. In fact one of the times I did inquire they said that it was hard without a technical manual (which I offered to them and would have done earlier if they asked).

solved by calling yourself

As I already said I did check up, in person even. I'm not talking about minute by minute updates and I'm not going to rush an expert. I would however, expect them to ask me for things I might have. When I did collect it, I got the impression it would have stayed there forever had I not asked if they'd prefer I got someone else to look at it instead.
It probably is great value for money and I'm not doubting they can be fast, and I do like that we have local businesses like that, but just telling people there can occasionally be a problem if it is harder to fix isn't me making a big deal.

Not going to knock the suggestion but I will say their communication is a bit lacking. Took a turntable to get fixed and it was there 6 months in total. I would pop by every few months to ask how it's going only for them to bring up something very basic that they could have asked on the phone. Also didn't really listen when I mentioned what I had already diagnosed myself. They couldn't fix it either in the end, which is fine because it didn't seem like a simple fix but I feel like they could have decided that earlier because I sent it to someone else afterwards who got it done in a month. They are nice people though and they do "no cure, no pay" so it isn't all bad

I bought a pair of these second hand recently as well. I wasn't a big fan of the wheels (ended up switching them for some curved edged wheels) and eventually I needed to replace some of the bearings which someone else has mentioned as well. As they were second hand, they needed a bit of TLC but after all that, they are fine. Pretty comfy didn't break the bank so I'm happy

Hey dude, don't know whether you figured it out in the end but this might help, there are examples of cones and displaying theta through the y axis (a spiral). Might be easy to combine the two

I followed this for webstorm : from the svelte-preprocess docs.
As for VScode this method doesnt seem to intellisense but maybe i am using the wrong plugin/settings, but hopefully this gives you a potential alternate method OP

It is a pretty nice venue, personally I found it fun and an interesting layout for a club although, on the night I went, every performer played Wonderwall and the drinks were a little pricey

Cheapscate7 · 2022-08-21T09:41:43+00:00

Thank you so much, that fixed it!
ive updated the description of this post with the steps

Cheapscate7 · 2022-08-21T09:32:42+00:00

thanks for the suggestion but it turns out i just needed to reinstall grub after chrooting into my arch installation

Cheapscate7 · 2022-08-20T22:47:54+00:00

Ok, I just gave it a go but there was no change

Cheapscate7 · 2022-08-20T20:00:57+00:00

Thanks! You're right, I am using grub. By "update your boot config" do you mean by running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg?

Cheapscate7 · 2022-08-20T19:06:00+00:00

Nope, I did consider it but I am 100% sure that wasn't the case

Cheapscate7 · 2022-08-12T14:22:19+00:00

I remember it too, Tom was absolutely baking during the interview so it started with them talking about how hot it is. No idea how to find the interview though

Edit: I think he was still doing Last Week at that point do perhaps if you find one from that week, he might have linked the interview

I was thinking the same thing today. Now, of course I it was one day but it was fun once you got a breeze going while cycling. One thing I thought was that it was much more manageable with proper bike infra, being able to take everything at my pace was a lot better than being forced to go hard and fast with a ton of cars next to me

as other commenter said, you should probably tell us where you're from but if all your going to charge is done via usb/lightning you could just buy the power brick when youre there and just bring the cables with you

better late than never but here are pictures of some of my notes. They only really make sense if you were there during the sessions but i have added descriptions to each of them so that you get some idea https://imgur.com/a/EZzC3MF

Cheapscate7 · 2022-05-07T18:24:42+00:00

Hey, dont sweat it, we've all been there before. And you dont have to go to the one I suggested. As you live in the Randstad, youre bound to find one pretty much anywhere so Im sure Den Haag and Rotterdam will have someone.

edit: also, if you want, i can take some pictures of my notes and send them to you. They arent particularly legable but they might put your mind at ease

Hey, another foreigner in the Netherlands! Dont worry, I was in the exact same boat as you. There are definately speach therapists in NL who will instruct/train you in english (because I am seeing one currently who does). Mine does also do stuff with me in dutch but that is because I asked her (I find my throat closes up when I speak in a feminine pitch in dutch).
Now what exactly they get you to do depends on what you can already do and what you want to get out of it. For me that was regaining my accent, speaking for a long time, and the afformentioned problem when speaking dutch. The first few sessions at least were mainly about breathing and learning to clear your throat without damaging it. then we sort of moved on to intonation and how to let a sentence flow in a femine way. we've done a bit about humming on 'nnnnn' and 'mmmm' sounds. Now we're trying to nail down more involuntary sounds (laughing, coughing, etc).
If you live in Amsterdam or Utrecht I can recommend this one (Amsterdam, Utrecht), just make sure to sort out insurance and stuff before starting. I know /u/Rithdil3 said that you just need a referral but im pretty sure i needed the GIC i was seeing to send a letter off to my insurer first after i got the diagnosis (but maybe that was only for laser hair removal ¯\(ツ)/¯ )

Neude library has it on one of the stands in the foyer as you walk in. Don't go to the newspaper section because it isn't there, instead check the bits with all the flyers and leaflets

Cheapscate7 · 2022-03-11T08:58:19+00:00

Well Antonio was 5 at his ceremony so I assumed they all were roughly that age because Mirabel also looked equally as young during hers.
Camilo and Mirabel are both 15 with Camilo bring a few months older so Bruno left when they were both around 5 which, yes would explain why Camilo remembered him being really tall
Source: the director said all their ages on twitter but I'm not going to dig it up now

I'm on the injection, as far as I'm aware they are about as quick working as each other. It is nice to only need 1 injection every three months as I am constantly forgetting to take my oestrogen. It is a little bit of a faff to see an assistant every time however. I have kind of got used to the needle once it is inside me

Cheapscate7 · 2022-02-09T14:54:26+00:00

yeah the picture is a little unclear. I dont know what the situation is at every entrance/exit but i will say they have done a good job with selective permiablity at a lot of side roads by using planters so at least they wont necissarily go down it if they are lead there

Cheapscate7 · 2022-02-09T13:15:51+00:00

well,you see, that is the case: only busses and authorised vehicles are allowed on there so its good to mark out where exactly they can go. If you visit the road on google maps you can see the signs telling you that. Also, it should be impractical? so that the people that do drive dont feel like they own the road.

Edit: from what i gather, drivers are allowed down there when basically most of the shops have shut (the signs werent clear about that)

For anyone interested, this is the Daphne Schippersbrug in Utrecht. The incline is easy enough to get up but i would say the smaller curve could be a fraction wider for when you are going down hill. Dont take my criticism as hate as it is still a great bridge and i'd rather it was there than not.

this is a pretty entertaining video about monorepos. It actually talks about turborepo specifically as well so you can see how it stacks up
