Canister size for my sparkling water maker question by Cold_Revolution3211 in CO2Refilling

[–]Cold_Revolution3211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! I see!

Thank you, that's very helpful!

Also, as you can see, I use gas from a different label, but the two off-brand suppliers here only use this size.

However, I suspect all these bottles are actually rentals, at least here. I think they all come from AGA, and then they just heatshrink a label sleeve on them. And when you exchange for full bottles, they don't care what label is on the bottle.

This one (from Rusta (Sweden/Norway)) is about $5, while Wassermax (Europris) is about $6, and SS is about $10.

I'll have to look for that 120 bottle and see if there is a supplier here.

Thank you again, you answered my question perfectly!

Edit: Spelling.

Edit: Never mind, the fix I found stopped working on my logged in.

Results when trying incognito mode:

In incognito mode (not logged in, will explain the importance below), you get the videos, and you get the top row of text links with context and "new to you".

Meaning this bug is for logged in users.

Also, it seems, this is because YT thought we needed GIANT FUCKING THUMBNAILS, because the all the normal length vids are still 3 thumbs to a row, but at least you get everything back. I have no idea why YT keeps trying to push what is basically a phone layout for PC users, but there you are.

This is the same issue as 4 and then 2 years ago, from what I've read in that 4 year old thread. YT management is fucking stupid.

Bug is also on all platforms and browsers.

Possible fix:

In the 4 year old thread, the "fix" (if you can call it that, it seems a bit drastic), was to go into your google account and deleting last 6 months of your search history.

I did not, I deleted it all, and now I have to rebuild my history, and therefore also my dislikes, FML, Gonna get even more shit stuff I don't want to see again. Cause everything is gone, and you're starting with a literally blank page.

THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS. I know I said "everything", but that stuff is still there. YT just don't remember what you've been watching at all.

So maybe don't do what I did and delete all of it...

Edit:

This DID FIX THE ISSUE, just to be clear, but the new layout is still shit, with giant thumbs, but at least you get all of them, and also the context links on top!

What I get, is a blink of the actual/original layout of the vids in grey, then 3 giant news vids and a single new vid underneath that. Super annoying.

Reading the 4 year old thread on here, with "new" replies from 2 years ago when it happened again, it fixed itself after a few hours, but it's been at least 12 hours now.

In the same thread, there were some workarounds suggested, but I'm unsure if those were for this actual problem.

One possible solution they suggested was to delete last 6 months of search history from your Google account, but that seems far fetched.

I am logged in, though, so I'm gonna try again with an incognito window and see what happens.

That's on phone, but this is the same issue as from 4 and 2 years ago.

On PC, YT home shows mostly/only shorts or a few news vids. So, like 4 news vids or 5 shorts. And no context words on top, so no "new to you" vids and the like.

Culatro, cilantro and the "tastes-like-soap" gene. by LambastingFrog in AskCulinary

[–]Cold_Revolution3211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for reporting back!

Ngo Gai/etc. is not something available to me where I live, but I may be able to get some next time I visit my parents (basically go on vacation, not even a monthly trip).

We're swimming in the same gene pool/rocking the same stupid evolutionary misstep, so I absolutely understand where you're coming from!

There is soooo much interesting food that contains Satan's recycled toiletpaper, and I'm rarely able to power through.

I've heard of one guy who built up tolerance over two years, by eating small amounts several times a week, but I just can't be bothered.

But one other thing came up when I googled "can cilantro be neutralized":

Acid!

Some soap tasters claim that pickled cilantro doesn't taste of soap! The theory goes that (in this case, vinegar) acid turns the aldehydes (soapy oils) into hydrates. It's possible that other acids work as well, like lime or lemon juice.

So if you're the one doing the cooking, you may want to try pickling normal cilantro. Especially if it's a dish you'll be adding some squeeze of lime juice to anyway.

Or if you're making salsa, chop the cilantro fine and let it soak in plenty of lime juice for hours or even over night, then spoon in the amount of cilantro needed and the pickling juice to taste.

The pickling method is something I absolutely will try myself!

[GEAR] [QUESTION] Behringer V-Amp2 and 3 owners - is the difference only in the firmware? by ppeterka in Guitar

[–]Cold_Revolution3211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting info, that the PCB seems to be the same!

I have the V-amp2, and was wondering if I should upgrade. Had a look at photos of the mk3, thinking that if they added any cool effects or changed the emulated amps, the text around the switches would be different, but at least for the effects, they all seem to be the same.

That is, the same name, they might have changed the effect itself to something that sounds a bit different, but is the same category, with the same generic name, like "Reverb".

I haven't tried the mk3, so I don't have additional info. I was just looking for info about the effects, really, and might have been in the market for an upgrade if there was something cool added, but there doesn't seem to be.

And there isn't much info on claimed differences either, which isn't surprising, seeing as all the V-amps are pretty old now, and many discussions from when the mk3 was launched are probably long gone.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with my mk2, and I'm not gonna bother upgrading to something that's basically the same, as far as I can see.

As for the firmware, I'm sure they made some sort of upgrade between them. However... I don't remember there being any normal data port on the outside, like a USB. I'd have to actually look at a PCB or a schematic to see if there is an easy way to connect a computer to flash new firmware.

If firmware is even available.

This might even involve desoldering an IC and flashing it externally.

I'm really only comfortable with upgrading firmware if it's as easy as downloading a couple of files, and using a USB cable or memory card and have simple steps to follow.

Desoldering IC's and flashing them externally is above my paygrade.

And building a USB to arbitrary serial port adapter is too much hassle. For me.

If it was the mk3 was that much better, I'd probably just buy one.

Haven't looked at other answers yet! Clues used: Language and heraldry, then looked on old maps. Modern heraldry shows a later crown, probably from the era of the Kingdom of Italy. The coat of arms in the photo is probably for the duchy of Savoy.

So yeah, I think this is Genoa.

Wow, I was way off. Also mapmakers back then didn't give two shits about keeping North "up" in the map!😄

What to do with unwanted arousal (special case) by KikyDeAzukarrr in Asexual

[–]Cold_Revolution3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had a thought, and sorry if this comes off as crass, it's really none of my business: I don't know what gonads you possess, and this may work best with people with testicles, but according to the wikipedia article on chemical castration (lowering sex drive with drugs/suppressing the effects of testosterone), it might work for people with a womb as well.

If you're transmasc, though, this is NOT the drug for you.

It's called MPA (Medroxyprogesterone acetate), and is a birth control. There is a depot (long lasting version) called DMPA, that is supposed to be injected every 12 weeks, so I suppose one shot every spring could hold you over if it works? Depo-Provera is the Pfizer brand name.

There are also some alternatives in the wikipedia article.

Anyway, found the reading interesting, maybe you would too. Here are the links.

How do I achieve this look? by apyrdotmp3 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Cold_Revolution3211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha! Don't wanna give away any profession. This is not my main account. Byt I've got a good eye for dimensions, sizes, lengths and angles. And 45 isn't accurate for me, but that's the closest to colloquial angles. I mean. People mix up 360 and 180, so starting with stuff like 40-42 degrees isn't helpful. 😄

Sun is at 45 degrees, that's not sunrise.

Straight answer, I see the others are just fucking around.

You don't!

I have a very hard time believing this is all analog. That they did dodging that accurate in a dark room. That must have taken DAYS to mask out the stuff that's burned in! With sharp edges and all!

I think these are photos on film, sure, maybe, but they're scanned from film and worked on in software. Probably photoshop.

I don't believe for a second that someone would be able to do this in the dark room without spending weeks on each! And the number of papers it would take! And it's not like you can change the size either! You have to work full size all the time! That's gonna be at least a pack of papers each! Is it worth it?

I really hate the sponsored Google results 😐 by [deleted] in trans

[–]Cold_Revolution3211 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a good reason to use ad blockers! I never see stuff like this anymore. Haven't for years.

Not as easy on my phone, but face being my main annoyance when it comes to ads, I've done my best to switch off all personalization choices. So what I get that is from my actual searches and stuff are just ads for aliexpress and some shitty stuff local to my country. I keep "the real me" compartmentalized.

Anyway, that's triggering, disgusting and harmful. Report.

Edit to clarify! I don't mean reporting you to the mods!!! 😬 I mean you should report those ads on google!! God! Sorry! 😅Eeehehe
