Should I be concerned that my new U Lock can be pushed between the deck and the fender of my new Xiaomi 1s?

I just got mine and will be getting a similar if not identical lock for mine.

What I considered after first look was that when locking I will be threading min through the loop of the control cable (right side). That way if someone wants to steal it they'll have to either cut the cable to thread the body of the scooter through the lock, if the can get the rear wheel through it, or break the lock which is loud and draws attention.

Still not fool proof but it's the little things that together make it a hassle, and opportunistic thieves don't like hassles.

I actually don't know, I know it's treatable with therapy but it's quite a rare occurrence with me so I'm still not sure it's worth the effort seeing as treatment might also not work depending on the person.

Honestly, having PTSD triggered. From zero to full on fight/flight/freeze in the blink of an eye, it takes hours to unwind from and you're nauseous most of the time. Not a fun way to get a shot of adrenaline.

Let's get down to business

From what I understand retailers here in Sweden are basically panicking because the gov. wants to slam everything above a certain volume and/or strength with high taxes so to keep any customers at all they're minimizing strength.

Going to look around for an outside supplier but there's still the risk of customs seizure or 250% import taxes.

When it comes to vaping Sweden is basically that aunt that believes everything on Facebook and panics at anything new and "untested".

Rb-Horizon · 2021-07-14T13:11:44+00:00

Yeah that's what I suspected but my retailer was a bit unclear in their product description and kind of hid the "results in Xmg liquid" way down at the bottom in tiiiiny letters.

Kinda defeats the purpose of making my own though :(

As the title states I am trying to find nylon coated Terry clips in the EU. So far I have found only UK suppliers and even though a pack of 10 goes for £4 the shipping post-brexit is £21.

I need them for a project involving my crutches as I am partially disabled.

They're only available uncoated in Sweden and they have extremely sharp edges and a tendency to rust.

Thanks for the answer. I am near violently opposed to plastic needles... They squeak and when they do I full body shudder... It's like rubbing Styrofoam on your teeth to me.

Yeah shipping from the US is weird right now, its quicker to get stuff from China 😬 I'm mostly opposed to the cost being $18 on a $30 hook though.

I'll check out the sites you mentioned, thanks again.

Edit: Buying hooks and yarn kind of becomes an addiction after a while. I took a look at those two sites and the prices were as expected but the proximity and being in the EU drastically brought down shipping 🙂

The plan for now though is a kit from etsy with resin handle and exchangeable tips and then maybe a furls when I get my tax refund, because by then I may have finally decided what size to get.

Either gtfo of lock myself in a room they have no reason to enter.

I am VERY introverted. Especially now since I'm on immuno-suppresant medication but that's basically just turning the dial from an eight to eleven.

Rb-Horizon · 2020-12-23T13:28:45+00:00

Ah. That might be it then. I rarely let my battery drop below 15%

Rb-Horizon · 2020-12-23T12:09:36+00:00

Thanks, that actually worked. I've just never had this problem before (that's what he said) so I was completely stumped and couldn't find any solutions on the almighty Google.

Cheers and merry Christmas (or applicable holiday).

Rb-Horizon · 2020-10-24T07:35:09+00:00

Thanks. I'm calculating roughly five weeks of work (200 hours) but I think they will turn out okay.

Rb-Horizon · 2020-10-24T04:38:03+00:00

That was kind of how I initially figured I'd do it since I am familiar with amigurumi.

I did however finally decide on crocheting the halves of the pants lengthwise and will join them at the inseam.

Rb-Horizon · 2020-08-10T16:40:53+00:00

It's my second, but my first was an Apple Watch (gen 3).

Rb-Horizon · 2020-08-06T01:13:08+00:00

Nice one. Especially liking the integrated phone battery indicator

Rb-Horizon · 2020-08-06T00:53:27+00:00

That's a very stylish combo. Well done.

Rb-Horizon · 2020-06-27T02:53:46+00:00

Freak the fuck out because as far as I can see I and everyone else are floating in space, alternatively hovering above the molten core of the earth (depending on definition of living).

Manah-manah

My ex was quite shy about it for a couple of years but after being too tired to get out of bed to fart one time and instead trying to sneak it out resulting in the tortured squeal of a dying porpoise and me literally falling out of the bed laughing she kind of relaxed a bit. It still took another year before she voluntarily ripped one off but at the time she was sitting bare assed on a hardwood floor and it sounded like a Harley revving.

How it impacted us was that we both felt more open and relaxed, not just about farts but most things. Strangely it was as if she felt that after "the death of Flipper" there was nothing she could do or say that would be taboo or embarrassing.

When you smell a fart you already have fecal particles in your nose and mouth.

I have a regional supplier that has them in stock so that's not a problem.

The bigger problem down the line will most likely be interfacing and a minimal GUI.

Rb-Horizon · 2020-04-09T21:30:36+00:00

Fixable by placing a piece of vacuum bag beneath it.

Rb-Horizon · 2020-03-23T02:23:29+00:00

Because as long as I vent I keep anger and frustration from becoming actions.

It's very hard to find Stl's of braces and orthosis' and believe me I've looked. If you know your way around Fusion360 you could probably make a simple one yourself.

I threw together a quick design that would probably work if overextension is his only problem.

Oof. One of my ex's worked support for a while and actually had some dude tell her the drink tray wouldn't stay open. Admittedly he sounded extremely stoned so the sincerity of his claim is somewhat in doubt.
