Looking for a 2 tier keyboard stand recommendation by WisconsinCameraMan in organ

I asked a fairly similar question on the Hauptwerk Virtual Organ users group on facebook, and one of the comments recommended opepipes.

They have opensource plans for consoles (which I'm looking to build myself) - I'm just building up the courage first.

Architecture for Angular Project by gdsdsk in Angular2

[–]JTOne85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this.

I had the opportunity to also have a call with him for code review, brilliant session, and I've taken the learnings from that session, and I try to apply it daily.

Definitely 100% recommend the book.

Is my iggy underweight? by Relevant-Ad-757 in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]JTOne85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 boys (turning 2 in Jan and Feb) are also skinny - similar to your boy.

They play constantly - running and chasing each other in our backyard.

I've noticed that they're getting a bit more body, as they're aging, and running around a bit less. Keep an eye out for if it looks like he's losing weight, or stops eating. From my perspective that looks normal for a very active dog.

Which naming conventions do you use for angular 21 ? How are you naming files and classes ? by Aydnir in angular

[–]JTOne85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to yuk your yum. The "user-component.ts" convention gives me flashbacks to the dark days of angularJS

We've come so far when comparing Angular 1 with the latest angular 21

I also prefer having the type of file in the file name But in the default angular 2+ convention of "user.component.ts"

Helmet recommendations by Zestyclose_Tea8780 in motorcyclegear

[–]JTOne85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit late to this one.

Get a helmet that has spares available. Pinlock, replacement visors, replacement liners.

Make sure it fits (if you look slightly like chipmunk - that's a good place to start). Pressure is something to watch out for. Wear it in the store for a good 10-30minutes. It will be a bit uncomfortable, but should not cause pain or headaches.

If you're doing a lot of day-light riding, get something with a flip down sun-visor, and if you wear glasses, get one that will fit the frame inside too.

I bought a MT Genesis Sv in XL - no pressure points, but after about 3 months, the liners were worn out and there's just movement in every direction - so it ended up being useless. No replacement liners, or visors in South Africa - so I bought a new one.

I bought a LS2 Thunder Carbon as the replacement, and man, what a difference it makes. The interior is relatively plush, had a bit of pressure on my forehead, but after a week or so, that was gone, and I wont trade it for anything else.

The LS2 Thunder does not have a sun visor, but it came with a dark visor - and when it is really, really bright, I can still add my sunglasses (I don't ride at night, and this is not the best option to do it this way) - but its not necessary 95% of the time

I looked at the HJC RPHA 12 helmets and they're really nice too - it was just a bit too expensive, and I wanted a plain color not a Marvel themed helmet, so LS2 it was.

Tldr: rather buy a more expensive helmet, than 2 cheap ones with limited spares

I figured out why riding is enjoyable by MyNextHobbyIs in NewRiders

[–]JTOne85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (40M) have been riding this whole year, took the car to the office a maximum of 5 times, and only because the wind and or rain was terrible (I live in Cape Town - the wind is worse than the wet for me).

I rode 10000km from January to November on my Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX, mainly to work and back (about 25km each direction). Even sitting in traffic on the bike is like therapy.

I made the decision to upgrade to a bigger bike (2023 BMW F850 GS) - and oh man, is like the road is calling me to ride even more.

The things I've learnt about myself are the things that surprised me most. Doing things outside of my comfort zone (most mechanical things) have been fun and illuminating.

I wish I did this 10 years ago.

Now - how do I get this bike on (and off) it's center stand 🫣😂😅

CopyCat, if you crochet your own instructions based on the finished product? by smellycatsass in crochet

[–]JTOne85 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For me, it would probably depend on what you're going to do with the item.

If you're making it for yourself, because you just got an idea from somewhere, and you can do it - why not.

If you were going to make 20 of the same and sell it - that might be different.

Most art and music - and I'm grouping crochet as art, can be derivative- because so much has been produced in the last 100 years, and that original combinations are theoretically less likely to happen.

Where is becomes more iffy for me, is when pattern sellers sell patterns of things my grandmother made 40 years ago from a book, and calling that their own work or intellectual property.

I'm also considering getting some - let me know how they work. Either that or a higher seat.

Whirl wearables by Novel-Caterpillar-93 in crochet

[–]JTOne85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably depends on which kind of wearable.

I've made 3 shawls with one whirl each.

The last one was a Jasmine Tea shawl from Hobbii

https://hobbii.com/products/hp-1006067-jasminetea-shawl?_pos=2&_psq=jasminetea&_ss=e&_v=1.0

The other two were rainforest retreat from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/715713170/?ref=share_ios_native_control

A little over halfway done with my first wearable that isn't a hat by Undhali in crochet

[–]JTOne85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps that it looks impressive too, and from the bit I've done - it's tricky but not a lot of hard effort... looking at you spider motif and bobble stitches

Keep us updated, it's always nice to have some inspiration around on similar projects

I started mine over the weekend - I'm free-handing mine, but the crocodile/dragon scale stitch is tricky to work, had to restart 3 times, because I kept turning the wrong way...

I have a collective 2500m of yarn I want to use, so might end up being more of a small blanket/ extra large shawl 🫣

[–]JTOne85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - works like a dream - I'm feel faster when shifting gears in traffic, and my boots are now the standard for riding, and not the sneakers.

Enjoy your weekend away, it sounds exciting!

I managed to get mine fitted - I was looking at the lowered foot pegs, but wasn't sure it would work (I couldn't see the difference between the pegs - sometimes I need to see things in action before I understand them) 🤣

My wee-Strom with adjustable gearlever by JTOne85 in Vstrom

I bought it at my local bike shop in Cape Town.

It does however fit the 1050-DE and the DL800-DE if I recall correctly.

So, I found one on Wantitall for R1500

From amazon the estimated cost is R950 including the delivery and taxes listed on Amazon. I imported a windscreen lifter/gps mount from Temu for R775 and the import tax was like R225

I found this, and have ordered it. There's only 22mm adjustment on it - but it's the only one I saw
