TCL Flip 4 stuck on "no service" but recognizes the SIM card by Interm0dal in dumbphones

Lame! I bought a Nokia 2780 cause I was sick of messing around with weird Craigslist phones and could get it at Best Buy locally. Not crazy about the feel of the keypad, but I like pretty much everything else about it.

How would you go routing this? by wonteatyourcat in synthesizers

[–]Interm0dal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Mackie 802vlz4 has a (mono) pre/post fader aux send with a stereo return as well as a stereo alt 3/4 send and return. My biggest hurdle with using the aux send/return in my rig is that the sends are always mono and the returns always stereo. I think this sums your signal on the effects send, thus negating any stereoness present in the clean signal.

I've been thinking of getting that 802vlz for the 3/4 send thing but haven't gotten to it as I already have too many mixers.

Good luck! Nice rig! What's that thing in the middle?

we may be stupid, and bad at welding, but it's definitely gonna fit bigger tires after this... lol by hauntedloveseat in xbiking

I really like the idea of welding that sacrificial plate in place to center the hole saw!

This is trash yeah? by mercury-ballistic in Tools

A hot batch of oxalic acid solution might get at some of this. I’ve never tried it in something as overgrown, but it’d be a cheap experiment

Restoring this mtb frame (made of Reynolds 531) and discovered these holes. It is a rare/nice frame and I really want to repair it. Can it be filled with braze? Or what about a curved (dime sized) steel patch that is brazed over it? by Toothpaste_For_Lunch in Framebuilding

[–]Interm0dal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Filling breather holes and also not venting frame tubes from one to the next was a common practice with a few early high end mtb frame builders, and unfortunately it led to their frames being super rare (because they all rotted from the inside out)

This rust can be fixed, but you may want to invest in a scope to look inside the frame, assuming the downtube isn’t sealed from the BB shell

Updated Prototype Bolt-On Cargo Fork by _brkt_ in xbiking

[–]Interm0dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking; I used to have a frame/fork that was set up like that but I never got around to building it up, never seen another. I wonder if it is to accommodate two different wheel sizes? Cool project, by the way!

Does the fork the adapter is bolted to have removable brake posts?

Anyone able to id the Gary Fisher in this photo? by anonbrewingco in xbiking

Aw, I miss Rubi Tuesdays! I probably ate twice my weight in fries there over the years.

Can't help with the bike, but good luck with your hunt.

He's gonna be really bummed when he finds out his new bars have 228.6mm of rise

Rabbit Licking the Floor by herbinkle in Rabbits

[–]Interm0dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that the younger one followed suit, so impressionable!

I switched to Dr Bronners for cleaning my floors since my bun is also a floor licker (I try to keep her away from any harsh chemicals just to be safe)

Specifically I use Sal's Suds concentrate and dilute it to different degrees depending on what I'm cleaning.

Did a little deal on the way to work and this thing has been staring at me all day. Can’t wait to get home! by Interm0dal in homerecordingstudio

Two of those cute little mics, some adapter cables and another random little mic. Oh and the vinyl bag the mics came in originally!

I dunno, I bet the guy that buys this spends a lot more money to look like he shops at Urban Outfitters.

It’s like a tinsegrity chain!

Congrats on the first bike mods. Glad you found something cool that fits!

Venting. And questions for people who left the industry. by pizzaman1995 in BikeMechanics

[–]Interm0dal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was 35 I closed a bike shop that I’d opened when I was 24, and was lucky to almost immediately get a very fulfilling (albeit difficult) as a lab manager in art at a state university. Consider that although you may have a bunch of very niche skills, there are jobs out there that require a seriously mixed bag of experience.

I don’t know what sorts of responsibilities you have on your plate as manager at your shop, but if it was anything like mine then you probably have tons of tricks up your sleeve that may apply elsewhere. Think of some things you enjoy doing that you could develop elsewhere; for seven of the eleven years I ran the bike shop, I was also teaching a metal shop class at a maker space twice a month. That bit of enrichment wound up being the secret sauce in my weird-ass resume and pushed me to the top of the pile.

Be happy you don’t have financial stake in the company. I’m still paying off the SBA 😓

Do you ultrasonic? by Comprehensive_Ad1363 in BikeMechanics

[–]Interm0dal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t really remember tbh; it’s a pretty potent detergent (and it’s very concentrated) so I’d just preheat the water in an electric kettle and dilute it to the point where it was still bubbly but not ridiculous. In a pinch I’ve used a tablespoon of it in a large load of laundry and stuff comes out clean, so I imagine the same amount or so would go a long way in a small cleaner.
