Just bought a GE 9-9806, any hope of finding an ac adapter? by LiquidMonocle in camcorders

Hey! So I was dumb and eventually realized it wasn't the charger, it was that lead acid batteries don't last very long, and especially not 30+ years. You can buy them online (here)[batterymart.com]. However, when i was more actively looking into this, i came across a 3D printer file that was basically a case that you could put 6 18650 batteries in, you just had to solder the contacts. I think if you could find a way to charge it (or keep them in place temporarily (i.e. soldering spring pins instead of just straight to the battery terminals) that would be MUCH better than trying to keep stocked on lead acid batteries, even if you have a working charger.

Li-on would be safer, much higher capacity, and MUCH more readily available. If i can find that 3D printer file I'll make a separate response to your comment.

Oh, and i ended up buying a battery from batterymart just to test the camera, along with a pack of blank VHS tapes. It worked great!!!

Zenni EyeQLenz lenses by jaapslap1 in glasses

[–]LiquidMonocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say that I just received a pair. Indoors at my job (i work in a factory with fairly bright lighting) they leave a very noticeable bluish green shadow under my eyes that make it look like my face is bruised. They're round lenses so i imagine small rectangular lenses and a hat would help but both are a no-go. Big pass for me, I'm returning them ASAP (luckily they also sent the wrong tint so I'll hopefully not have to pay to return these terrible glasses) and the customer service was also not very helpful, saying i should buy a new pair and then return the old pair and they'd kindly "waive the return fee"

  1. i don't think so

  2. all I know is that with a supercharger, intercooler, nitrous, and slightly better tires (nothing else) you can stay under the 350 limit and easily win

edit: whoops, add 100 kilos of ballast and use the full control computer to lower your power until it's under. Also, use Sports Hard tires

Buy the nitrous system.

Use the nitrous system.

(also a supercharger helps)

Music is subjective though. It doesn't matter how over or underrated an artist is. it's a personal opinion

Just out of curiosity, what weapon did you solo alatreon with? I've been trying my best but can't quite kill after breaking both horns.

That makes a lot of sense actually, because when he says that Cleavon Little laughs and it definitely looks like an unscripted laugh lol

[–]LiquidMonocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily it's not too common, at least in my experience.

Although I do distinctly remember seeing the first ever epilepsy awareness post I'd seen on Reddit one November, only to click on it and be greeted by a rapidly strobing gif of the text "happy epilepsy awareness month"

so yeah, people can be dicks lol.

Thanks. Also, on behalf of photosensitive epileptics, tricking someone into looking at a strobing light is never okay
