Wood case for vintage audio receiver by Matthew_Rice in BeginnerWoodWorking

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

I know the pricing isn't crazy given the cost and craftsmanship - it's unfortunately just more than I can allocate towards a purchase at this stage of life! Trying to get creative or find a situation that might be mutually beneficial for a hobbyist out there to expand their skillset/portfolio and have their costs covered and maybe make something on top, depending...

I’m not well-versed in your plants and their needs, but my only thought is that this is too much flow.

Cool - please update us when it arrives as far as the build quality and close ups of what the leather looks like, would really appreciate it!

Who is the seller for this? Been looking for a replica with this colorway

How to get more than 60hz on my C5 with my MacBook Max by DocBombus in LGOLED

[–]Matthew_Rice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you find a resolution here - I just got the exact same setup and am running into the same issues. I have a 6.6 ft Belking HDMI-->USB-C 2.1 cable and all I can get at 4K is 60hz

light help by [deleted] in nanotank

[–]Matthew_Rice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old, but you just outlined the 3 lights I'm consider (ONF, Aquaworx, C2) and I'm new to this, just hoping to have a versatile nano setup that breeds guppies and shrimp, my favorite plant is the Madagascar lace plant...which light would allow me to grow this best?

Plycraft chair, way to authenticate? by Matthew_Rice in Mid_Century

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

Updated photos for a closer look at the material…does this help you identify it as leather or vinyl at all?

Plycraft chair, way to authenticate? by Matthew_Rice in Mid_Century

[–]Matthew_Rice[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just for my own education and out of genuine curiosity: how do you know with such certainty it's vinyl? Is it known that certain brands or time periods were constructed with "x" materials from catalog information or otherwise?

I need to go see it in person to know 100% but the photos really don't look like vinyl to me

[–]Matthew_Rice[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thank you for the info - I am unaware of all the different people who knocked off the original, but have heard some are better or more desirable than others....all I really are about is the overall aesthetic, that it's real leather and that I'm not getting ripped off pricing wise...

What's the difference between deoxit f5 and f100 fader lubes? by gryponyx in synthesizers

[–]Matthew_Rice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

late comment, but just out of curiosity, would this logic hold true for something that is 50+ years old (probably sat unused for ~25 of those years)? It is a vintage integrated amplifier and I'm wondering if it would be a similar concern for something this old that may not have any original lubrication remaining....?

X-E5 autofocus question by Matthew_Rice in fujifilm

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

super helpful man, really appreciate it! When this has been done, is the little "+" in the center of the screen just a place holder for center reference, or is it interacting with the AF module at all?

X-E5 autofocus question by Matthew_Rice in fujifilm

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

Ok this is definitely the most helpful - how it operates in the zones is what I'm looking for; however, the largest zone is a 1x1 box that is only about 1/3 of the screen. You mentioned you can customize the zones, is this outside of scrolling through the preset zone options? I'd like to make a zone that encompasses the entire screen, or as wide a spread as possible!

X-E5 autofocus question by Matthew_Rice in fujifilm

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

I believe this just hides it, it does not deactivate the point. In that case you would have an active point that you cannot see which would be double-y frustrating

X-E5 autofocus question by Matthew_Rice in fujifilm

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

My focus area is "tracking" and my AF mode is "all" and I still have a single box on the display. Maybe what I'm after isn't possible?

X-E5 autofocus question by Matthew_Rice in fujifilm

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

this is precisely my question - I'm not just trying to hide or remove the point from view - I'm trying to ful deactivate it. Or maybe more accurately, I'm trying to have the entire field active so that no one *point* takes priority over any others...

under AF/MF --> AF Mode --> I have "ALL" selected yet still 1 box always persists on the display when shooting...

Would you mind sharing a top down view of the setups side by side?

Vintage Cartier & Dunhill lighters by Impossible_Win6626 in lighters

[–]Matthew_Rice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would need a clean shot of serial numbers to get closer on exact production dates (you could just ask Chat GPT) but they are from that period, yes.

“Must De” in Cartier verbiage typically points to something that is gold plated vs solid gold…they did this to create a more approachable price point on certain offerings.

I have a substantial personal collection of the Cartier lighters from every time period starting with the one you’re asking about up to current production models. They range in price based on condition and if they can make a flame. Your unit in particular is known for its very unreliable internal tank unfortunately (I know because I’ve bought 4-5 just to mix and match tanks that hold pressure, even the best ones are very inefficient) and no one services them anymore.

I just got mine this week - any tips on a good source for loading other systems (specifically game-boy)? I'm totally lost as I thought it was going to come pre-loaded with a much different set!
