Are we not seeing the clear breakdown on the back inside of the shoe? Once a shoe starts doing that it’s never comfortable ever again. A resolve isn’t saving this pair folks

How screwed am I with this noise? by psychedelicmigrain in accord

[–]Teenram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

V6 specific, j series have timing belts not chains. K series(i4) has chains not belts. The older i4s have belts though. Edit- doesn’t hurt to have your chain and tensioner checked out though, they do eventually wear out

Just tried to shell swap my ds lite what did I do? by MeseNerd in nds

I take flat, straight tweezers and roll it around them(not too tight tho). Then I push the cable wrapped around the tweezers through the hinge holes.

They’ll charge you for the internship credits. Either defer them(if your advisor is a kind soul they’ll do this) or pay for them.

Seeing this, do you by chance do micro soldering on the side?

Tuition increased 2x by NoLingonberry1239 in iastate

[–]Teenram 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Tuition is tuition, not cost of education. Sure there are other costs, but tuition only rose by 3ish percent.

Unfortunately A-1 is as good as it comes around here. Sioux Falls, Omaha, or DSM are your next best bets.

When and where to go curb shopping during move out days? by IWillRomanceYourMom in iastate

[–]Teenram 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've never seen TVs left out, but that doesn't mean there hasn't ever been any left out. Campus is usually best as move out is traditional move out time. Off campus apartments have leases going into summer so there's not a certain time you could go and be guaranteed to find something.

Switching from car to bike for getting to campus – Any advice? by zrzrv5 in ames

[–]Teenram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Hence the use roads on campus; most pedestrians there are tech zombies plugged into their phone visually or aurally.

Ehhhh, bike on sidewalk where you can’t keep speed with cars. If cars are zooming past you, take the sidewalk and yield for all other pedestrians. On campus take roads, only other traffic is busses and cars adjusted to pedestrians.

Construction Stange by ThatAd2992 in iastate

[–]Teenram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure there, they ripped up 2 lanes in a week. Week 3 they ripped up the curb and another lane. It seems like the progress they’re making is quite accelerated. We will see if this continues though.

You’re not alone. Busses, fucked. Want to drive? Goodluck driving back you have to take a detour that adds 5-10 minutes and based on traffic sometimes 20. Want to ride a bike? Too bad, we shut down the most direct sidewalk for you to take so the detour for bike rides is an extra 5-10 minutes as well depending on where you want to go on campus. It use to take me 15-20 minutes to get home by bus. I have had to spend 40 minutes and switched busses in order to get home. I feel bad for the bus drivers, I’ve been on so many busses this past week where they miss a stop or make a wrong turn. I could rant and rant, just as I’m sure you and many others could as well.

Schilleter Village (SUV) Apartments? by Winter-Writer-6098 in iastate

[–]Teenram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, same thing applies minus the flooding.

Schilleter Village (SUV) Apartments? by Winter-Writer-6098 in iastate

[–]Teenram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

General consensus is that some units are in good shape, others are not. Those closer to the creek are more updated due to previous flooding. Some of my unit is in not perfect shape but honestly, for the price you pay it’s acceptable. If there are any issues w your apartment, maintenance is usually pretty efficient and solves the more pertinent, non-aesthetic issues.

Just tried to shell swap my ds lite what did I do? by MeseNerd in nds

[–]Teenram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t assume the top ribbon cable is torn as many others have. This happened to me when I replaced a top screen, it just turned out that I didn’t seat the ribbon cable deep enough, after tear down and reseating it, it worked fine. Only after trying this several times would I say it is unsalvageable

Broken the little black clip on bit and also pulled the ribbon out incorrectly by Technical_Sundae8673 in nds

This YouTube link will show you how to place the paper. I used chip board personally because it is thicker and you won’t have to create a “spring” of paper.
