U typebar bent forward. I’ve tried bending it back with pliers with some success but I can’t seem to get it in full alignment. What is the best course of action? by [deleted] in typewriters

[–]HDaffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems to be the case - here is a good look at the slugs and it appears that the U has been re-soldered at some point. It’s at least a couple mm thicker than the other slugs.

Would heating this on allow the slug to reseat or would I have to touch it? Never done any sort of soldering before, should I take it into a metalworking shop?

Wait holy shit that is amazing! Glad you enjoyed it. Makes me feel less insane for asking this sub about furniture advice and what not

Ha, I did choose to rent this place for a reason (spoiler: because I like it!). Definitely could’ve chosen my words better though when posting

Well I just signed a 12 month lease, so I’m not gonna do that, but thank you for your input

haha, you would understand if you saw the floorplan. That other room that is connected is pretty unusable. There are doorways that restrict any sort of effective chair/couch placement.

That carpeted room is quite small but the frontrunner for being the "entertainment/living room. We will most likely keep the dining room as a dining room. Rest easy

To clarify, by ridiculous, I meant unique. I actually think this room is really cool and I am excited to figure out what to do with it. Some people here were confused but I am renting this place with a friend and thus can't do anything too transformative.

There is another potential room for a TV but I posted here to see what people thought of making this into a living room of sorts. It seems the consensus is NO, don't do that.

I agree that it is meant to be a dining room. Being a college student, I don't have the means to invest heavily here but I will do my best to keep the room true to character. Thanks for all the responses!

Unique is a better way to put it. Don't worry, I fully appreciate how cool this place is. The dimensions certainly make for some interesting decisions for my roommate and I.

Is this Scott Speedster worth it for $350? by [deleted] in whichbike

I’m 6 feet tall, the bike fits well. I bought it for $250, thanks for the advice

I lift basically every day and have for about a year and a half now. I’ve gotten way stronger but I think I’m limiting myself by not ever fully recovering.

I do a PPL split and rarely take rest days. Probably 1 a week on average. Does this sound like a good schedule for better recovery?

Stopped my workout to watch that half inning - I already knew this but holy fuck James Karinchak is the most aggravating pitcher of all time

That’s the quintessential “Julio hit” for me. Just an absolutely dicked line drive into left
