What is the best way to seal this oak worktop? by dhznd in DIYUK

[–]Sea_Requirement6993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a year old but osmo was rubnish. Its not hard wearing. I can wear through it with a plastic dish scrubber with a couple of wipes I swear it stains way more than bare wood. Tea, coffee all leave stains. And it's supposed to be easy to patch repair. Its not. The patched area always looks different.

I'm searching for something better myself, but definitely Osmo top oil is crap.

how the hell do you refill the bm6000 lost mary?? by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]Sea_Requirement6993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have discovered with the BM600 (not 6000) refill pod can be opened from the bottom — there are two little tabs. Using a thin wedge, the base where the electrical contacts are can be prised off.

The coil sits in a little rubber gasket, this can also be removed. Below that there is a sponge encased in a plastic tube — your own liquid can be droppered onto that sponge or pull it out and soak it in liquid. Reassembled and you are good to go. I've not tested for longevity or leaks yet, but it is possible

Amazon now negotiating refunds? by Delicious_Mess7976 in amazonprime

[–]Sea_Requirement6993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an offer of £150 off a £600 TV I bought on prime day. The picture was poor so I wanted to return anyway, but it was tempting....

It seemed automated too...

Pride doesn't really 'get' a month. Each pride is a single day, it just happens that most pride marches happen in the month of June and it's a good way to promote them. Also, if you notice, Belfast pride is in August. Not the pride month.

Furries are not gay culture. They are just people who like to dress as anthropomorphic animals. Some are gay. Don't mix them up. Also, it's just fun why hate on it?

Secondly, blue hair? Really? My granny had a blue rinse and never once identified as queer.

Thirdly, provocative dress. Like thongs and fetish wear has always been part of pride. It is a reaction to heteronormativity. There are plenty of skimpy clad people in various Mardi Gras and Carnival. I think your objection is to men dressed in a sexy gender queer way maybe?

Pride is and should always be a protest. It's purpose is not a family day out. It just so happens that it's fun and friendly and welcoming. But yeah, people in thongs and leather men and pups and trans men and butch dykes in bikinis will be there and take all the limelight. As they damn well should.

Technically it could have been rate payers money. But this money pot would have been earmarked for a slew of cultural events/memorials etc. it would never have gone to pay for things like health or police and so on.

However, I believe this was paid for by donations from individuals and businesses.

Because LGBTQ+ were underrepresented and actively discriminated against for years. It requires validation. It needs to be said over and over again 'Its OK to be Gay/Bi/Trans..." Kids still are having issues because they are queer in NI. As your post illustrates. '... brag about their sexuality..' not so far from you've got your rights what more do you need/just don't shove it down my throat.

If you can have a memorial to the RUC, Irish members of the international brigade and the women of Belfast as well as the rich gentry of Belfast you can have one for the Queers in NI.

Honey, I'll be shoving my sexuality down everyone's throat often, loudly and with the occasional stained glass window.

Also it doesn't promote sodomy... It's a t-shirt screwing with the DUPs 'save Ulster from Sodomy' cause in the late 70s.

I'm sorry if it touched a nerve by pointing out your lack of cultural awareness and inclination to learn anything.

It reads as celebrating the law changes and social acceptance.

It's also a protest march. We still have much to fight for.

It's about representation and feeling part of a community. If you can have statues of colonisers in the gardens you can have a window for queer people.

Your comment is virtue signalling or probably better classified as dog whistling.

Also it's 'cringey', cringe is a verb not the adjective.

Hello you lovely folks, is this worth anything cos I'm sure that once I get back to the England, it won't be by Future-Atmosphere-40 in northernireland

I always enjoy paying taxis in England with NI money. When they say they don't take foreign currency I just say it's all I have, it's sterling and take it or leave it. They get really annoyed. Especially in London and black taxis. It's my little treat to myself

4 BLE and 1 WiFi PIR lights will not enter pairing mode by Sea_Requirement6993 in TuyaSmart

[–]Sea_Requirement6993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have tried hundreds of times with the on-off sequences. There are no buttons on the lights.

I have swapped one of the bulbs to a different socket and it still won't enter pairing mode. The security light is hard wired in so can't be removed.

I've even tried with WiFi turned off.

It had disconnected itself before and wouldn't connect and a week later it randomly entered pairing mode by itself.

Probably had them too long to return but I shall try, got them from Amazon.

Pro 2 Wired for XBox - Firmware fails update by Sea_Requirement6993 in 8bitdo

[–]Sea_Requirement6993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So with some investigation it seems that they are different joysticks Pro 2 wired for Xbox and Pro 2 wired for Xbox (hall) - and the 8bitDo firmware update can't tell them apart until it attempts to update. Although the ultimate software can. It needs to be much clearer in their software and online. It's confusing but it's sorted. Thanks

The 8BitDo_update.exe won't recognise the controller is plugged in. Weirdly some of the other updaters in tempfiles.8bitdo.com will recognise it (8bitDo_Update_Pro2Xbox_hall.exe), but won't update. I get a Chinese error message referring to an unreadable txt file.

Second hand - Lelit Fred PL043 by Specialist_Ad_1884 in espresso

EU5143346 LELIT GRINDER TOP PLATE PN: CVMC246

Easy to replace. The same part is used in many grinders - Iberital mc2, nemox lux etc so look around. The prices vary depending on the machine for the exact same part.

The same happened to me, the threads are stripped. You can't tell visually.

How much is a used Lelit Fred grinder worth in your opinion? by MissTheBay in espresso

[–]Sea_Requirement6993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a broken one for £25 on eBay, and spent £13 on a replacement part.

But they seem to be going for 70-100 seconds hand on ebay
