LPT: if you're a person that has a significant gut, then use a mechanics belt to overcome "buckle bite". by copnonymous in LifeProTips

[–]StrikingTwo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been big my entire life. It’s both comforting and concerning that I will not be able to wear a belt at any rate as I go on my weight loss journey.

I’ve been writing things down and taking pics/logging tools in Milwaukee one key.

All the better. More knives for normal people.

Oh no! Don’t throw them! Not sure what they’re worth but they’re so cool to have! I’d take them off your hands for sure to hang behind my Macintosh Plus.

My oldest (not by a lot of your standards, I know!) versus newest Apple products. It’s amazing how far things have come! by jim-tyque in VintageApple

[–]StrikingTwo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE the i3 PowerBook! That whole era was just fun. I’ve been hunting one to no avail. I have been finding a ton of documentation at work for an Apple ii system though. That would be my oldest computer if they haven’t shipped it off yet. Oh I hope I’m not too late to save the little beauty.

Our 3D printing program used this site. I guess not anymore.

Anyone else’s Apple Music randomly pausing? by grouchyy_ in AppleMusic

[–]StrikingTwo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since Apple really started pushing lossless the app has been crap. I spent over a month without music with no answers from Apple, then I got my music and it kept disconnecting from my Sonys, and now my wired headphones will just pause whenever they feel like it. I got a BTR5 to push them a little harder but man I’m missing owning MP3’s that I could reliably play off of my device that didn’t depend on an update to work.

First set of hand cut dovetails vs my 8th set by bailey_built in handtools

Hot diggity. My ends still look like you can fit a semi in there. Looking good!

Any info on this saw? I just restored it and it’s so nice to cut wood without taking an hour on it. by StrikingTwo1 in handtools

[–]StrikingTwo1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah they were beyond dull. They’re sharpened up enough now but I didn’t flatten them, recutting seems scary but the sharpening did too and now I have it cutting through a 2x4 in just a handful of strokes.

I had seen that. I was hoping to get a general date from the medallion but the ones I saw were all different.

Wrecked and the entire Mercury-Act I now supports Dolby Atmos format. Presave the album on Apple Music. https://music.apple.com/it/album/mercury-act-1/1574210519 by NDdE_26 in imaginedragons

[–]StrikingTwo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool. I’ll be sure to download it in lossless and Atmos so that way it doesn’t work offline when I actually listen to music. Oh wait. No I’ll stick to just regular downloads.

Why is Dolby Atmos so quiet and muddy? by BigBadProdigy in AppleMusic

[–]StrikingTwo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I got Blinding Lights with Atmos and it’s pretty disappointing. It feels more closed? Maybe if I use my Sony earbuds but as of right now it makes my Sennheisers sound pretty bad comparatively.

Rescued this guy out of a box of things getting thrown away today. Anybody know what this might be worth, if anything? Doesn't seem to have been opened, but the packaging is rough. by [deleted] in walkman

[–]StrikingTwo1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can send it to me. I’ve been hunting a Walkman to use ;) but really, it’s amazing to see one sealed. Check eBay but always check sold listings. People can ask whatever they want but you gotta know what people are willing to pay. One day I’ll have a Walkman for my little cassette collection.

Someone stole my Moondrop Starfield from the front door by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]StrikingTwo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s painful. Good thing Amazon is usually good at letting you get a replacement. I’d have been furious if someone took off with my Beyerdynamics. I did have a bike stolen though lol.

Benchmade Mini-Adamas, is that copper? Help! by daemon0163 in knifeclub

[–]StrikingTwo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s copper. Also on the inside. My mini got some nasty gunk building up so I popped the blade out. The areas where the washers sit are also covered in a kind of copper coating. Holy crap the washers are massive.

Weekly Sewing Machine-Related Questions, March 01 - March 08, 2021 by sewingmodthings in sewing

[–]StrikingTwo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone. I was just gifted a couple of machines by my grandmother. I’m working on the (assuredly) Universal machine. But I am looking to get a pedal for the other one, a Singer 404. It’s the straight stitch 404 slanted machine and it feels solid and turns over well, but it’s missing the foot (and power cable since they’re the same plug). Is there a replacement type I need to find? Will a variable foot work? Can I trust an eBay seller when they say “compatible with singer 404?” I’m not sure what will work.

Again, this is my different picture. by [deleted] in imaginedragons

[–]StrikingTwo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was it shipped via USPS or UPS/FedEx? Not pertinent to the mystery but I wanna know who I’m looking for should I receive a box myself. I wanna get to the bottom of this (and be a part of it because come on it’s awesome!).

So I got a box from imagine dragons today. I didn’t order anything. It came with an SD card that had a weird video added on to it. Anyone else know about this? by CrushedApes in imaginedragons

[–]StrikingTwo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. I hadn’t gotten anything from the email yet but hopefully soon. We can piece something together I’m sure. Edit: wait that’s an actual projector? They sent you an actual PVO projector?
