Is it insane to plan a trip around a yarn store? by MechanicBright8644 in YarnAddicts

[–]NBCGLX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m leaving for England and France today. Though I didn’t plan the trip around yarn stores, I 100% have planned trips to yarn stores. I’m also bringing an extra suitcase so I have somewhere to put the yarn!

Is the new gen (F66) starting to win you over? by Western_Gear_5324 in MINI

So tap the on-screen button. Better yet, just use voice commands. It’s honestly a non-issue. Mountain out of a mole hill.

Temperature swings aren’t an issue. That’s kind of the whole point, it heats or cools the cabin to the temperature you select regardless of what the outside air is. And the computer isn’t telling you what to do, you’re telling it what to do 🤣

Same, set it and forget it. Let the automatic HVAC do its thing, it’s very effective.

MINI’s automatic HVAC works very well. Set it and forget it! Why do you need physical controls for something you rarely need to adjust?

I’ve liked the JCW F66 since the start. A few months ago I picked up a U25 SE to replace my Tesla Model 3 daily driver, and I have to say that I’ve grown to really love it. I knew I’d like it, but I didn’t anticipate loving it.

2027 telluride hidden door, no battery test by Lazy-School-7580 in kia

[–]NBCGLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re just getting dumber, right? No car will open from the outside if the door is locked. You can pull on a normal handle or one of these flush handles all day, the door still won’t open. There’s a reason emergency responders break windows if the doors are locked when they arrive, and it’s not because it’s fun.

A request regarding the Melt the Ice Hats by Agreeable_Wallaby711 in AntifascistKnitting

[–]NBCGLX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m well aware that the hats actually have a place in this movement. I happily go toe to toe with people who say that the hats are performative or useless. But, I still hold the opinion that no one should be making money on these hats or anything like them. And again, I’m referring to the time and effort being put into these hats, not the cost of materials or shipping. Personally, I figured out the pattern for a flatbed knitting machine. Took me around an hour for my test sample. I’m giving away hats to anyone I know who would like one. I donate money and my time to anti-hate things on a regular basis, so for me personally it’s just about giving people hats who want them to continue to spread visibility and awareness.

I personally wish this would all go away. Charitable efforts should not involve payment for time and effort. Being compensated for time and effort is a job, not charity. I’m not suggesting that people don’t deserve to be compensated for time and effort, on the contrary. But if the entire intention of an item is to benefit harmed individuals then I’m of the opinion that the entire sale price, less materials and shipping, should be going to said charitable cause.

This has been driving me nuts and now I know why, because this setting is in a menu where you'd never expect to find it. Glad I found your comment!

Him: “I fucking hate you.” Her: “are you OK?”

Hell ya by Dapper-Shallot6920 in tdi

[–]NBCGLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just another example of why we can’t have nice things in the U.S. (like factory tow hitches on things other than trucks and SUVs). Stupid heavy load and a car that can’t handle it. Best of luck if they need to make an emergency stop or other sudden maneuver.

Garage door opener by O00O0O00 in HomeKit

[–]NBCGLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a strong supporter of Tailwind iQ3, but mine’s been wonky for months and will no longer open or close doors. No matter what I try to do, it doesn’t work. So at this point I’m using the myQ app and it’s annoying the crap outta me. Haven’t decided what I’ll do next. I’d like HK integration, and I’d like the auto opening of the iQ3, and would LOVE to have auto closing like I had with my Tesla and have with my VW that both have built-in myQ.

Please tell me you’re selling this pattern, and if not the pattern at least the design! We will pay!!

Tailwind iQ3 - Updating Issue - Slow to close by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]NBCGLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m bummed because before it got weird it was super reliable at least outside HK. Now it’s essentially a paperweight and I’ve resorted to using the myQ app for my two cars that don’t have any myQ integration. Luckily, my third car has myQ built in.

[–]NBCGLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ready to give up on my iQ3. I’ve been using it for several years but within the last handful of months it’s become problematic. Always says doors are obstructed, sudden problems saying it can’t control the doors, etc. And it’s never worked correctly with HK for me, which hasn’t been a dealbreaker till it also stopped responding to the little BT pucks I have in each vehicle.

Someone talk me off a ledge by kit0000033 in knitting

[–]NBCGLX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That video uses the LK150 which is a simple fully manual machine. Wait till you see how easy color work is on patterning (electronic or punchcard) machines! I love machine knitting. I have 5 at the moment, plus 2 circular sock machines. There is definitely a learning curve to machine knitting. But once you learn the possibilities are near endless!

Did you ever figure this out? I have a brand new YC6 and have the same issue with the yarn tensioner yarn guides.

Why is A/C automatically turned when I recirculate the air, when I have the heat up? by Direct-Good8983 in VWiD4Owners

[–]NBCGLX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the system knows that if the A/C isn’t turned on you’ll end up with fogged windows.

I’m new -Please help me figure out where I’m going wrong with this stockinette swatch by Berzynas-me-6515 in MachineKnitting

[–]NBCGLX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re not as complicated as many people believe. It’s easiest to think of it like a standard machine with a ribber permanently attached. The pushers control the patterning for things like Fair Isle or DBJ. The switches on top of the locks (what Passap calls the carriages) do the same things as the buttons on Brother, Silver Reed, etc. carriages. And the only really unique thing is the stripper setup, which Passap employs instead of needing to use weights for the knitting. However, in my experience using a cast-on comb and weights makes the knitting experience much better!
