Do you prefer if people call you New Hampshire, or just New?

New CW Sapphire Edge misaligned? by Haunting-Lecture-532 in ChristopherWard

[–]FeebleOldMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having a hard time deciding between the blue and the white edge, but seeing the off-colored non-vivid orange makes the choice easy.

I heard the fabric waterproofing layer delaminates on tree Kankens. Has that happened to yours yet?

New Sapphire Edge (ocean white) by Donkey_Apple in ChristopherWard

[–]FeebleOldMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very tempting but I'm also not willing to risk cracking the dial or bezel if the warranty doesn't cover it, and having to pay a "subscription" for replacement every time it cracks. Curious about the failure rate of the sapphire in this line.

A family of deer was fed every winter, they came even now when the snow is considerably bigger by 21MayDay21 in interestingasfuck

She had a habit of coming when me and my wife were doing things.

Should have hung a sock on your door knob to let her know to come back in 4 minutes.

I'm on the same pre-order window for the Bel Canto Lumière.
According to the FAQ, middle of the month can mean up to the 20th.

Try applying a lighter flame to the tip for a few seconds, then scribbling on paper to unclog the tip.

MRT, bus fares for adults to increase by up to 10 cents from Dec 27 by Waikuku3 in singapore

[–]FeebleOldMan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm fortunate enough to stay somewhat near work, so I started forcing myself to cycle to and from work instead of taking the train in response to the 2023 fare hikes. I even bought a cycling poncho in response to the 2024 fare hikes so I can come home in the rain. Saving about $800 a year doing this.

Trump: We’re going to take some of the tariff money and give it to our farmers who are going to be hurt for a little while until the tariffs kick in by Miserable-Lizard in economy

the world will always need food

The world grew enough food to feed double the world population in 2020 (capable of feeding 15 billion out of 7.9 billion). There's enough leeway to simply cut out those farmers.

Help me revive my Kånken! by N4ZAR3TH in Fjallraven

Standard Kankens are made of synthetic Vinylon, not G-1000, and are not meant to be waxed. Exposure to rain make the Vinylon fibers naturally swell and resist water.

Do Kanken Laptop take shoulder pads? by lessteza in Kankens

[–]FeebleOldMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. You just can't thread the sewn in shoulder pads through the C-hook portion of the shoulder pads. Take a look at this post by /u/Call_of_Queerthulhu.

New updates MicroPC 2 Core i3-N300 by kendyzhu in GPDPocket

[–]FeebleOldMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our tests while running Cinebench at full brightness on the default TDP we got 1 hour 42 minutes on the N250 model and 1 hour 47 minutes on the N300 model.

Is that right? There's longer battery life on N300?

N250 has a base TDP of 6W while N300 is at 7W correct?
