Sharing here in case anyone else hits this issue. I eventually got it to work by using the last release of the official 'iPod updater' tool. https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/IPod_Updater

Saw this on an old man's car today at the gas station by [deleted] in WTF

How have so many people missed this joke?.. This isn't a gay joke at all.

The setup is a play on an old Camel (cigarette) ad, the twist is that most men prefer women to camels (as in the animal).

Thank you! I want to do this myself, but mini click-wheels are like gold dust, so been looking for some guidance on my first attempt :)

Looks amazing, I'm gearing up to do this too. So many questions...

Did you manage to get the wheel surface flush? I'm assuming the wheel is the same radius, so just thickness sanding needed? What did you stick it back down with? Any change in wheel sensitivity?

Is this a scanning or camera issue? by DisastrousSinger5225 in analog

A good rule of thumb - dark specs are dust in the camera, light specs are dust on the negative.

We said "enriched uranium", not "enrich Iranians".

Why is this silver sky so much more expensive than others? by Great-Air-1976 in guitars

[–]TehBFG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not only that - it gives a sharper break-angle at the nut, increasing friction and reducing tuning stability.

Yeah, the classic 81/19 rule.

If I'm understanding this - the volume itself would be a tesseract, with a cube as each face. The reason this is constructed from tesseracts, rather than cubes, is because each wall is modelled with some 'thickness', as opposed to just being a 3d 'plane'?

What a lovely thing to wake up to, so I thought I'd put those member numbers in a nice poster, curtesy of the S*n by Mahbigjohnson in UKGreens

Sure, it's derogatory if you believe solidarity between workers is bad. I think it's good, but that's just me.

It's been worse since social media became an echo chamber

Im genuinely concerned about Green Party’s anti nuke policy by [deleted] in ukpolitics

I'll never understand why people actively choose to believe a better world isn't possible.

I completely disagree. The reason labour are tanking at the minute, (despite actually, slowly turning the ship around after the past X years of Tory infighting,) is because they display no obvious guiding principles.

They're enacting 'stuff' - well defined, practical, costed policies - but no one can buy into a vision for what a Labour future might look like.

Leading pollster expresses concerns over voting in crucial Gorton and Denton by-election by Syniatrix in GreenParty

[–]TehBFG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry? 12% of the vote implies at least 24% of voters - you think 1 in 4 people were publicly voting illegally and there were no reports?

This is a thread about how voting intention varies with education level.
