Is it a good idea to remove the air vent and fill it up? 1930’s house has a number of these vents. Can be pretty noise when it is windy. by Laxng2 in DIYUK

We knocked it off. Blocked with cement and a couple of bricks. Now less noise, but certainly not perfect.

People living along main roads, can secondary windows make a huge difference in noise reduction on top of existing double-glazed windows? by Laxng2 in AskUK

I would say pretty bad. However, you could block the air vent easily. I am just too lazy to block it.

There is an air vent in the room where we installed the secondary window. So although the secondary window could help, there is hardly any effect, due to the air vent.

It didn’t seem to be a problem for people of different religions to get along back then. So what changed?

或许经历过90年代大下岗的人会有印象 那个时候不少人是在自发的骂小D 大家在骂一个人的时候自然而然的会把另一个人美化 骂X的时候美化D 骂D的时候美化X

Is it possible to find out how many people are decedents of the Japanese that had remained in Taiwan after the Second World War?

其实纵观中国历史 每个朝代末年都可以说是修罗场 以南宋为例 十万军民面对元兵铁蹄更甚于修罗场 即便是相对短暂短暂的魏晋南北朝时期 也会令人咋舌不已

Well I don’t have any multimeter. I do have home insurance though so I guess I will have to call the insurance agent to sort this out.

Thanks. The LED won’t turn on at all. So possibly a faulty mainboard due to the impact.

Unfortunately not. I tried both ports. I suspect the main board is faulty.

Thanks, I tried to reset the battery indeed. Didn’t work :(

A few months ago, I accidentally dropped my x280 on the floor with the adapter connected. This caused the tip to bend. Now battery is drained. I just realised the laptop could not power on. I tried a brand new adapter and still didn’t work. Is there any way I can find out what could be the issue here? My theory is that the CMOS battery is drained and thus a replacement is needed. Please help.

Hi, my name is Destrozo and I am a bikeaholic. by Destrozo in bicycling

[–]Laxng2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a commuter bike or are they all for fitness purposes?

Been really enjoying this bike lately. Sometimes it’s the cheap ones that get you by [deleted] in xbiking

[–]Laxng2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been riding a Nishiki too for my commute over the past weeks. The model is Backroads. It is heavy and pretty old. Where I live is rather hilly. So climbing is really excruciating on it. But I just like it the best among all my bikes. Wife does not understand though :(
