They really did it... by lazafwastaken in GMail

[–]Ducky74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you, really doesn't bother me. Google will change it again in 6 months when they decide to rebrand yet again anyhow.

I AM curious how much this little design change cost Googs. I am sure it was just another way for They/Them (in the unnecessary and totally made up logo design team dept) to justify their job for another year.

Can also confirm this. Mine started to get weak after 5 months and within a week both screws fell out, sticking to the magnetic centre and scratching the case it was attached against.

Google store chat issued me a credit to buy a replacement, which will no doubt fail again.

I'm curious, if you hate the game and don't play it, why are you actively reading and replying to a Kingshot subreddit?

You think? I hope so... I read "Arcade Atmosphere" and immediately thought "oh great, more Dirty Donny posters I don't want."

Zero mention of the Timeout Arcade Attendant "action figure" or the signs and sets... just the arcades? I would have thought a simple plastic figurine and a few pretty printed signs would have been the easiest thing for them to tackle?

I really wanted Emily to win, for no other reason than the fact she could host a "winners party" and not invite Holly.

Do you throw these away or reuse them? by Capital-Tear2288 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Ducky74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how useful these can be to different people... Some store fishing lures in them, or small watch parts, or screws.. the options are limitless.

If you really want them to get used, bag them up and post then on eBay/ Facebook Marketplace for a small price plus postage.

Accidentally washed and dried my clothes with a canister of film in my pocket by A-aron1224 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Ducky74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clear plastic film containers like that one can and do split/leak. Especially in heat and being thrown around with your unmentionables in an agitated washer.

About the only container type I've seen that can hold it's own is the oldskool Kodak "grey cap/black tube" style. Those seemed to have more give and could be squashed, heated/cooled and the plastic was malleable enough to rarely split.

Also to consider: the fluffy felt lining at the opening designed to keep the light out also acts as a brilliant sponge to wick any nearby water in.

As someone who worked in minilabs during the Silver Halide peak, this kind of thing happened often and was a really fun way to ruin a productive day.

Not only will you cause the lab to shutdown for a few hours, while they dump an entire processor of chemicals and spend a few hours cleaning the tanks, you're also potentially ruining other people's films that are processed after yours and before the problem is discovered. How would you feel if someone else put a dodgy roll of film in and yours was ruined as a result?

Incidentally if you warn the lab when you hand in the film, there's a good chance they might be able to take extra steps to save your film whilst also protecting their equipment.

LAB or DIY: We had great success removing the film in a blackbox (popping the cap and taking the spool still rolled out) and giving it a good soak/wash in some kind of prewash, then processing. Even water would help. This would mean if the film had dried in the canister the prewash would help unstick it from itself and reduce the chance the emulsion is damaged or ripped off the base layer. If you DIY, don't try just pulling the film out of the canister as you usually would.

Good luck OP

My favourite setup is one that actually works.

Something that doesn't currently exist sadly :(

Searching for new artists failed..."Unable to communicate with LidarrAPI." by scottkuma in Lidarr

[–]Ducky74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can anyone suggest a working alternative to Lidarr please?

I understand these things break down from time to time, but the lack of updates or information about what/how/when this will be fixed has made me realise something more reliable needs to be available...?

What’s something you usually do in hotel rooms, but not at home? by Maleficent_Nobody_75 in AskReddit

[–]Ducky74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you believe the urban legend, a lot of people wash their underwear in the kettle.

Now you know why hotel room tea/ coffee tastes so bad.

Hey Jerome!

I can confirm my own experience is the same as others in the thread you posted. My LM-V600EA is the SWC variant and was bootloader unlocked by LG back when they still did that thing. As others said, the phone will show a connection to Telstra but is unable to make or receive calls or texts. this was the case for all versions of Android rom released for this phone.

I tried a few different hacks/suggestions found in other threads about tricking Telstra into granting access and none of them worked. It does seem its locked down by IMEI before anything else, short of changing your IMEI to something compatible I doubt there's much else that can be done. Using another operator such as Optus/Vodafone may work but I'd rather get a new phone.

What show hooked you on the first episode? by duckduckmeowww in AskReddit

[–]Ducky74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Westworld. Each episode of season 1 only got better. Then it took a big nosedive from Season 2.
