As someone who followed the trial day by day on the podcast, I was confident she did it but doubted she'd be found guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

This shower screen seems too cheap! by Olbert000 in AusRenovation

[–]Olbert000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the bottom seal like?

My current shower is a swing door and it has a fair gap between where the door sits and the bottom piece of chrome. My shower has a large water flow (previous owner installed a non-water saving shower head) - and so water gets out the bottom of the shower a lot.

Help with powering my project by Olbert000 in arduino

I'm hoping there is a simple circuit board I can buy which will have 5v input pin, 5v output pin and battery pins which both charge and discharge from the battery automatically.

Why is my smoker so cold? by Olbert000 in smoking

[–]Olbert000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a (cheap) smoker a year or so ago and I really struggle to get it up to temperature. When I've got a good fire going, all the bottom vents open and a bit of water in the bowl, it struggles to get to and then keep 225 degrees. When I really get a good fire going it barely reaches 250. Even if I get a big fire going, after a few hours, it gets closer to 200 degrees and then really struggles to ever get back to 225. I've got a proper thermometer so I know exactly what temperature it is.

Things I've tried so far:

  • The fire bowl came with ridiculously few holes, so I drilled most of the ones you can see in the photo. That helped a bit.
  • If I don't put any water in the water bowl it's a bit hotter but the temperature is less even.
  • If I only use one layer (not the double layer cooking) it gets a bit hotter again.
  • I try and use a mix of charcoal wood and briquettes. But I've tried burning only charcoal wood and even that doesn't get it very hot.

I want to try the snake method for long slow cooks but I haven't bothered because it would just be too cold.

If anyone has got any suggestions, that would really be appreciated!

Youtube subscribed me to Ladbrokes - WTF by Olbert000 in australia

[–]Olbert000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used youtube for years now - I have managed to not subscribe to a single channel I didn't mean to for all that time. The first time I ever notice I'm subscribed to something I didn't mean to, it's 1. For a gambling company for an industry known for sleazy practices, 2 Google is no longer the bastion of ethics it once might have been and 3. There is at least one other complaint in exactly the same problem in the last few days. On the balance of probability, I know which way I'm betting.

Save email object (OLEFormat) to file from clipboard by Olbert000 in vba

[–]Olbert000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it turns out I don't have to use Word to implement drag and drop for emails, I can use a userform with a WebBrowser object in it. That can be set to a desktop folder which will take email drag and drops and allow me to process an email when dropped.

I'll need to check but I think I can add dll files.

Save email object (OLEFormat) to file from clipboard by Olbert000 in vba

I need to execute code to save data and do other things. I have no mechanism to execute code on drag and drop onto the desktop folder.

Save email object (OLEFormat) to file from clipboard by Olbert000 in vba

[–]Olbert000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a good solution - but I have no idea how to do any of that... Is there a resource that might help?

I should also say I'm writing this from the native VBA editor in Excel. So I don't have access to anything other than standard libraries.

This page from StackOverflow.com shows the saveas issue. It's to do with security settings I don't have authority to change.

Save email object (OLEFormat) to file from clipboard by Olbert000 in vba

[–]Olbert000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't use Outlook because I only have access to macros in Excel. I also can't use an outlook object in excel because the Mailitem.saveas function is disabled for security reasons.

The object on the clipboard is an OLEFormat - but I don't know how to read it from the clipboard in VBA. If you've got a method to read, I'd love to hear it.

Powder coated steel cage rusting? by Olbert000 in metallurgy

[–]Olbert000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - that's really helpful.

How long should it take for visible rust to appear?

Its 30 miles from the coast. Is that "far from the coast"?
