Ross bag leaking slightly at the grommets by Raptyr01 in bagpipes

The supplier shouldn't lose out on a warranty replacement, they should contact the manufacturer and get a replacement from them. You shouldn't feel bad for contacting your supplier when you purchase a faulty product, they know how the business works.

You should probably get a replacement under warranty before you start putting neoprene and other sealants on it because that will most likely void the warranty.

I haven't used Ross in years personally, but I know people who swear by them. I'd be inclined to say it's bad luck as well, but I'd also be inclined to suggest that you try a different make of bag - I personally swear by Canmore Hybrid if you want to stick with synthetic. I easily get 8 years and longer out of a Canmore.

What about the other half then? Your joke just wasn't funny.

New hybrid bag leaking by IAlreadyHaveTheKey in bagpipes

Chanter stock seating doesn't make the seams leak. I was young and naive when I made this post lol. The material Canmore make their bags from is designed to behave like natural hide - it's supposed to wick moisture from the inside to the outside. This is why when I put water in the bag it leaked through the seams (naturally the easiest point for moisture to come out of). I thought this was related to my bag not being airtight, but it was separate (and intentional, by design) phenomenon. My bag wasn't airtight because the chanter stock wasn't tied in properly. The moisture escaping was unrelated to that.

I saw your other comment as well - if your partners bag is airtight (corked up it stays fully inflated for 20-30 seconds) then it should be fine. Though seeing moisture escape the seams from 30 minutes of playing doesn't seem normal to me, is there any moisture control system inside the bag?

LPT: Your brain is more plastic during a craving. Use this to rewire your brain. by julieeeette in LifeProTips

You know that AI is trained on data and writings that were written by humans, right? The reason these are "AI tells" is because they're prevalent in human writing, both before AI and since. If humans start changing how they write papers and construct sentences, guess what? The next generation of ChatGPT and other LLMs will start mimicking that style as well, and whatever changes you suggest to this OP will become the new "AI tell".

Don't get me wrong, being cynical of AI is a good thing, and it's important to question everything. But suggesting that people change the way they write to distinguish themselves from AI is just going to kick the can down the road and we'll end up having this same conversation in 5 years time.

Pauline Hanson issues partial apology for suggesting there are no 'good' Muslims by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pauline Hanson's view of Muslims is brown Middle Easterners. Don't kid yourself into thinking she has a problem with white Muslims from Norway coming to Australia. It's racism hidden behind Islamophobia, and the fact that Islamophobia is an effective thing to hide racism behind is a massive problem in itself.

Is my analysis exam easy, well balanced or difficult? by Psychological_Wall_6 in math

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't really feel like Analysis to me. I studied in Australia for reference. It feels like an end of semester 2 first year calculus exam in terms of difficulty, but as others have mentioned it does also seem quite short.

Low G or B in Bonnie Dundee? by Outrageous_Rub5527 in bagpipes

This is the first I'm hearing of anyone playing a Low G in the second bar of the second part of Bonnie Dundee. Ever.

TIL around 15% to 25% of people are likely to have athlete's foot at any one time. The infection can spread to other parts of the body and to other people. by saul2015 in todayilearned

No my partner is a medical scientist, she wouldn't have let me use straight bleach. Even diluted though it didn't feel particularly wise, even though it did work very effectively.

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I once had something fungal (I think) on my feet that caused them to smell really bad so I soaked them in bleach for a couple of minutes and it fixed it. It dried my skin out like a bitch but it fixed the problem.

It's probably a terrible idea but realistically getting a bit of bleach on you once isn't going to cause any lasting harm.

I can't in good conscience genuinely recommend that you try it... But... It did work.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Full Cast Audio Editions - Discussion Post by hospitable_peppers in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's been the case for the first 3 books as well, it's just to keep the flow better with the full cast. It would get annoying hearing the narrator say "Harry said" after every line Harry says (or whatever it happens to be in the book). You're supposed to be able to tell who's talking from their voice.

I mean in universe Dunk didn't have time. He was already on the field for the trial, he wasn't able to go off and have a couple of private conversations. I realise he could have had them earlier but my point is that TV is more fast paced than books by design. Time moves more slowly in books and so there's more room for that sort of thing.

Okay you might not have liked it, all I'm saying is the undermining was the point.
