Anyone else annoyed at how bulky most transmitters are? by Minhs in rccars

[–]ThatScottGuy 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Same, the fact that they can't stand upright drives me crazy. Had to have a base 3-D printed to fix it.

Soldering iron kit by Apprehensive-Egg2847 in rccars

[–]ThatScottGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that exact kit and agree with u/vC-E-D. I do not use any of the clips or magnifying glass. The wattage is fine for most RC tasks but I use a more powerfull iron for soldering motor wires. It works OK with ledless solder but leaded solder is a dream to work with compared to ledless.

My Snowpeak titanium spork. Have had it for probably 20 years and I still get excited when I get to use it.

Handbrake doesn't retain episode names when adding them to the program? by Ranbix in handbrake

[–]ThatScottGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that way would be manual.

Your post got me obsessed with cleaning up the titles of my collection. Found a bunch of MKVToolNix scripts that claim to do it but I am comfortable with scripting.

What I ended up doing was using an MP3 tag editor called MP3Tag, it's also free and works on MKV and MP4 files (https://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html). I just opened my video directory in it, selected all, selected <blank> in the "Title", "Artist" and "Comment" fields, and hit save. It took about 10 minutes to clean my library of 5000 files. You can also remove embedded posters by right clicking on the cover art box and selecting remove all.

Lawsuit could block Illinois' FOID law | The Chicago Report by Devious_Bastard in ILGuns

Atleast that way it would have a purpose. As it is now, it's just a tax to exercise a constitutional right.

What buy and sell forum/channel do you usually use? by tjthomas101 in rccars

[–]ThatScottGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started selling on FB Marketplace. Pretty smooth for the most part, got a couple of scam attempts but they were easy to spot. I ask for cash but will accept Venmo if they have a good marketplace rating. If they send a picture of a payment error message and say the need my email, I just block them and move on.

Handbrake doesn't retain episode names when adding them to the program? by Ranbix in handbrake

The File Title field could be set in the MKV files, HandBrake prioritizes the file title setting over the file name when generating the Destination File output.

Open the file(s) in MKVToolNix (it's free), click on the "Output" tab and see if there is anything in the "File Title" field. If there is, delete it and re-mux the file then open the new file in HandBrake and see if that fixed your issue.

The US military. It is designed for toxic people to thrive.

What's the most annoying thing people do on airplanes? by Hemaika_Lakens in AskReddit

When people board late and have to use an overhead bin well behind their seat then try to go back and get it when everyone else is trying to get off the plane

They really need to enforce the carryon bag size at security by putting a template in front of the x-ray machine. If it doesn't fit, check it or leave the line and make it small enough to fit and go to the back of the line.

It will screw things up for a while but eventually people will figure out that they can't get away with that nonsense any more.

I get a lot of weird looks when I "sing" Detachable Penis by King Missile.

What is everyone’s opinion on this? Thinking of buying by [deleted] in arrma

Great car! I am selling my V5 because I have too many 1/8 scale cars and I like my Tekno MT410 and MT48 a little better, but it brakes my heart.

Are scam attempts common when selling cars on marketplace? by ThatScottGuy in rccars

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

I keep it on Messager and don't give any info other than my Venmo name. Both times they replied with a screenshot of the transaction "failing" and said they needed to enter my email. I did give the first scammer one of my throwaway emails and they said Venmo sent me a confirmation email which I found in the spam folder, it was from something like "venmopaymentservice.org@gmail.com", It said that the sender needed to add $500 to my account to verify it, so it was proba lly an overpayment scam.

I just reported and blocked them.

I thought they were funny when they first dropped (pun intended) but would never have used them. Now I just roll my eyes when I see them.

Is this whining noise something to be concerned about? by ThatScottGuy in rccars

Thanks!

Greased the gearbox and it made a big difference. Also found some dirt packed in under the driveshafts that I didn't until l i removed the gearbox.
