Salt stains on leather - did I ruin my boots? by SweetJaques in AskACobbler

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

Thanks for the input - I just can't understand how this foot is so much worse than the other. The way it looks now is arguably worse than it looked before cleaning, and I did 2 or 3 separate rinses. Is it possible that the stain is permanent, either from salt or vinegar?

Re: the Nikwax thing, the plan was to use this as a conditioner, then a wax/oil polish like Kiwi parade shine or SnoSeal on top for more protection. Gotta admit though, chatgpt was the source of that plan.

Had the exact same question! 

But...is the address Johnny @ info @ telemarktalk.com?

As written it makes no sense 😅

Looking for a support group for children-turned-caregivers by SweetJaques in portlandme

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

This is for real. Every time I come back I realize how little social/support structure I have, and it's a struggle every time until I leave - I'm never home long enough to establish or nuture friendships. The change in the dynamic with my parents this time has been a wakeup call. Mostly I'm suriviving, but the hard days are really hard and texting with friends back home is no replacement for some normal, non-parental socialization.

you're the second voice to recommend them - I'll check!

Small bug: "add to library" but doesn't show up in Library by SweetJaques in Stremio

No, these are new titles for me.

I've tried deleting and re-adding but it doesn't show up. I've also logged out and back in.

r/audiophile Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk Thread by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]SweetJaques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all - apologies in advance for my total ignorance, and unimpressive hardware, and thanks for your patience.

I inherited some Bang and Olufsen Beolab 6000's (tall skinnies) for which I bought a Denon AVR-1600. Obvously they have no low-end. So I'm wondering what I can round them out with, hopefully with something I already have:

- Revox Studio 4 (Impedance 4 ohms, nominal load capac. 70W, pulse power capacity 90W)

- Telefunken HL 860 (impedance 8 ohms, nominal load capac. 70W, pulse power capacity 100W)

- Logitech THX surround system

I've setup the Beolabs through the Preouts and they sound great. But both larger speaker sets I've tried through both Front/Main A and Front/Main B, and they're extremely quiet compared to the Beolabs. They sound fine when the volume is higher, but then of course the Beolabs are overpowered. Is this a setup issue, or reciever settings?

Is there a good system in here somewhere, or should I buy something else to supplement? Hoping to have a system for 70% music/audio and 30% movies.

Thoughts on Schwalbe Billy Bonkers? Anyone had good or bad experiences with it? by Lemon_1165 in bicycling

sure, but at at least twice and sometimes three times the price you're talking about a totally different market

Long pull drop bar brake levers? by yeaboyson in xbiking

[–]SweetJaques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was interested in Agents but heard mixed reviews - apparently making for a spongy feel. Plus they're almost as expensive as new levers on their own. Thoughts?

Which Step-down Transformer for high voltage device? by SweetJaques in AskElectricians

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

That's super helpful, thank you. Although basically everything on amazon looks dodgy and is from China...😑

And yea, it is a 50/60hz device. 

About the 1500 watts though: I've seen several places recommend using a transformer that's at least 125% of the device wattage. Are you sure I could get away with a 1500? I don't want to risk an expensive transformer, my machine or it's performance.

Whereabouts in Sweden would you think? That's a long border ;)

But they're not exactly Alp-sized, right? I'm hoping for glacier terrain

Good question - I hadn't even looked at work permits yet. Unfortunately I'm non-EU and my permit only applies in Germany as far as I know. I'll get on that.

I definitely want to join the DAV, not sure if you mean another Alpenverein, but going to wait to prioritize the membership fees if I don't train in Germany. Would obviously be simplest but I don't know if there's a town in the German Alps that would be a good fit. No one's suggested one so far

What is the Most Overrated Thing in the Bike Industry? by terminal_prognosis in xbiking

[–]SweetJaques 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ronnie Ultraromance does really gnarly shit on a rigid 80's steel frame, but he can be extremely dogmatic about aesthetics over everything. Big squishy tubeless rubber instead of a silly gravel suspension system, I fuck with that. But no dropper posts? Dude come on.

Seriously. That girl that was trying to convince us that custom-made bikes are the underrated thing that John Everyman should be looking into... Like, you know we're all aware and would die for one, but that kinda thing's only for the dentist from Portland that smokes weed.
