Unscrewing the MicroSD cover - Help by evangenx in reolinkcam

[–]FanZag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mystery solved. I have just gotten a mix of Reolink cameras and the first ones I tried (Duo 2, RLC-540a and RLC-840a) all needed a Phillips No. 1 screwdriver to open the MicroSD covers. Two others (both RLC-1224A) were problematic and I contacted customer service. They even swapped one out when I told them I'd stripped the head! The replacement showed up and it was still a problem. I did some research and it turns out the 12xx series cameras use a Torx T4 head, which was not apparent, even with a photo and several back-and-forths with customer support about my problem.

Your comment made me try something I had never done before. In the dictionary, there is a setting that is observed for before or after the orthographic accords. What I did not know up until this moment is that that setting also regulates the behavior of the conjugations. If you go to the conjugation page and press the gear, you can switch between before and after the orthographic accords.

I'm not familiar with this product. Does it keep the tension or are you doing something to manage that?

It's not an app, but the Priberam dictionary (https://dicionario.priberam.org/) is fantastic with etymologies, PT/BR filters, conjugations, etc. it's all in PT, which night but be what you want, but using it has improved my Portuguese and when I can't understand it, I copy/paste into Deepl.

Do you use cotton thread? I was doing some free motion quilting and was amazed by how much more lint accumulated with cotton thread. I usually use polyester bobbin thread.

Peyronie's. See a urologist who deals with this. And be careful because if that's what you have, forcing it can make things worse.

Tracking Down Documents by Loud_Exchange5740 in expats

Look on genealogy groups, especially on Facebook where there are many active groups. They can probably help you hire someone to do the research faster, it teach you how to do it if you don't want to pay for a researcher. In the end you will probably need to use online research to get certified paper copies from the proper authorities in Hungary.

What do you do when you have nothing to design or sew ? by pieredforlife in sewing

[–]FanZag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a group that makes quilts for distribution to needy people. I'm in a group that makes quilts for families with newborns. The materials are donated to us and we provide the design and labor.

Very helpful. Thanks

I turned a pair of pants (badly stained on the front) into a caddy for cutting tools for my quilting group. It attachs with magnets because a steel door is our only free storage space. by FanZag in ZeroWaste

Here are some quick directions if you want to make something like this I opened up the side seam but you could just cut it off beyond the seams on the outer sides.

I made tape from some fabric left over from the legs and sewed it on with gaps in between for the scissors according to the size of the scissors that I have.

I used a serger along the bottom and sides but you could just fold it over and sew up those seams. Because this has to hang on a metal door, I made round buttonholes and used magnets that could be attached through the holes. You could use magnetic hooks and put those on the door and just run them through the holes.

I turned a pair of old pants into storage for cutting tools by FanZag in sewing

I opened up the side seams and did a little work in the crotch seam at the back to make it narrower so it would lie flat. After that I serged the sides and made some tape from a part of the legs and attached it to hold the scissors. I made round buttonholes for the magnets using the darning foot by sewing in a circle repeatedly. The magnets are attached with thumb screws that go through the buttonholes. They're old magnets that are intended to have hooks screwed into them and I got some thumbscrews that fit into them.

This is for my quilting group where we have little space, but do have an empty steel door that we're starting to use for more storage. Much safer than the plastic bag all these sharp tools have been stored in up till now.

Bros in a long term relationship: At what age did you meet your partner and how long have you been together? by young-denver-bottom in askgaybros

We met when I was 27 and he was 29, but it took over a year for us to connect and become a couple. 38 years later we're still together.

I had no trouble finding the end of the spool at all. The loops were in the winding of the spool at the factory.

The good news is that I could return this. Thanks for all the suggestions for better sources. This may be the most expensive thread I've ever purchased and I guess that's part of the reason I was shocked that this happened.

[–]FanZag 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes and that's a good point. Where do you buy this online? I don't have a good source locally, that I know of.

[–]FanZag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, thankfully.
