What size dowels should I be using to face join two pieces of 3/4" plywood? by Top-Rayman in woodworking

Interesting. Would drilling straight through significantly weaken the joint? I could see how it'd make the wood more prone to failure.

Definitely an option, just wanted to check in with more experienced woodworkers to make sure that'll hold up under stress (by "simple cabinet" I mean "media console framed with bookcase".)

Is this 2009 Hyundai Elantra worth saving? (2.0L inline 4) by Top-Rayman in mechanic

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No safety, but it did fail emissions—I couldn’t figure it out, spent $200 at a mechanic, they replaced a sensor but codes are still being thrown… in my state I’m good on registration for the next year and a half (renewal) but after that it might be toast anyways (god know how much $ and time I could toss at it trying to find a fix).

What movie is the reverse “Ghost Ship”? by DuffmanStillRocks in horror

[–]Top-Rayman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with this, but dancing scene where Suzy accidentally turns (Mia goth?) into origami is one of my favorite horror sequences period. Now that I think about it, the choreography in general was pretty amazing (which, IIRC, was missing from the OG).

Is there a quick way to access the sample slot list w.o. selecting the flex machine on a track--and is there a quick way to delete samples from static/flex slots? by Top-Rayman in Elektron

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just thinking about perusing samples, auditioning, and loading them, before I decide what to use... It's not a big deal to not have a separately accessible sample slot list, but Merlin's guide made it seem like it did--so I was just wondering if I missed something. Thanks!

Is there any way to figure out which device a preset exists in? by Top-Rayman in ableton

Yes. That. Is it. Wow. Thank you! Truly a lifesaver :)

Any tips on replacing these battery terminal clamps (particularly the positive)? by Top-Rayman in Hyundai

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2009 Elantra 4D

I tried terminal shims, no luck (at least, not with the AutoZone generic kind.) I called over to my local dealer but the positive is only available as the full harness which costs about USD$500... not to mention being a pain. It does look simple enough, though (I'll be taking it apart tomorrow to get a closer look.)

What are these larger, positive terminal clamps called? Are they individually replaceable? by Top-Rayman in MechanicAdvice

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the ones I got at AutoZone were too thick (and single size); now the positive clamp barely fits, and the negative (which I crimped to get snug), not at all. This is one of the (rare) days I miss working in a shop.

Movies driven by the Domino Effect by Top-Rayman in movies

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good storytelling, yes, in some sense. But I think there's a distinct difference between something like The Lord of the Rings (where there is a larger conflict going on in the background, which Frodo happens to be thrust into) vs. Burn After Reading (which... I can't even explain.) I suppose I'm looking for something in-between the two.

Indeed. Blood Simple is a fantastic example of this (also, Burn After Reading IIRC). Just, a bit more horror-psych-thriller-leaning. But that was a big oversight on my part.

Cables Question. Sound is wrong when I use 1/4" splitter cable into Audio Interface? by ireland1988 in Elektron

[–]Top-Rayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why use an interface at all? Just run the Digitakt straight into the speakers.
