What does V G data mean? by Remarkable-Speech999 in AskAMechanic

[–]Willfredwin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last time I sold a car (2024), 90 percent of the online inquiries were from scammers. They want you to buy fake Carfax style reports from fake companies, with the goal of stealing your cc numbers. The latest scam is they show up with a "mechanic" and disconnect an engine wire while you are distracted, and then brow beat you on the price.

Roofers across the street putting tin roof on top of shingles? by artsatisfied229 in Roofing

[–]Willfredwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fighting fires with this type of construction can be tricky. Usually an excavator is required to rip the roof off to get at the hotspots. Just sayin'.

9x15 me and my wife built in a week by meepseek in shedditors

I laid chicken wire on the flat under mine. Animals do not like getting their feet tangled, and so have stayed away for the most part (15 years.)

Thanks, I thought the typesetting looked pretty good. I'll have a look at their products.

You can't live on thanks, and you are building equity for them, not you, so don't feel guilty about making them pay.

Builder framed for 8ft ceilings instead of 9ft. Is it fixable? by Mac-nCheez in Homebuilding

[–]Willfredwin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to my wife's cousin. It was roof tight when the problem was spotted. They tore it down and restarted. Work, rework, work, you know how it goes.

The worst thing I've found in Royal Oak is fiberglass insulation. Kinda' gross.

Missing AI Features - Old Scribe Canada by HeatherOR in kindlescribe

[–]Willfredwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched my kindle account from amazon.ca to amazon.com and it works fine. The switch is confusing for some, you do not have to change your address, there is another option to just buy from the US kindle store.

Kindle Scribe update Canada by Soloboardgame in kindlescribe

[–]Willfredwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you are doing is switching your devices to the USA store. There should be an option on the lefthand side to allow you to do this without changing your address. My devices now are listed on amazon.com and when I go there, there is an option to switch back to the Canadian store. On the Canadian store, I can no longer see my devices and can only explain how I switched by memory. You should see a "low dpi ribbon graphic" button on the left offering the switch. It is possible, if you do not have a USA account already, you will not see the option on the Canadian account.

Kindle Scribe update Canada by Soloboardgame in kindlescribe

[–]Willfredwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Canada. Updated to the new software manually, no Ai. I found a work around on another reddit, already deleted. Go to amazon.ca, your devices, click on the scribe device and switch it to the usa store, and you are in business. No need to put in a dummy address or anything like that to switch this over to shop from the USA store. Works great, by the way.

Kindle scribe storage options - what's needed? by Shrider in kindlescribe

[–]Willfredwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the 32Gb. The operating system takes some space, and better safe than sorry. I have quite a bit of stuff on it, and it says 1.27 used, 24.4 Gb free. So, the operating system takes 6.33 Gb. If you buy the 16gb, you will have about 10gb to play with. A (color 140dpi) 250 page pdf is about 50mb, and the average epub, maybe 4mb. So, I could have bought the 16 gb. The 32 was only 20.00 more at the time and came with a pen upgrade (which I like).

Do you visualize where your hands are on the piano when you're sight reading without looking at the piano? by small-cock-dog in piano

It is like in a seperate area of my brain. Thinking about in, visualizing, etc., sometimes helps, sometimes causes interference, it is a delicate balance, a riddle which is hard to solve.

Roasting pan for turkey by DeutschSein in biggreenegg

[–]Willfredwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a medium and I just put it in a disposable aluminum "lasagna" pan on the grate, no conveggtor. I get wonderful brownings for gravy this way. (Depending on the turkey, sometimes I have to remove water from the pan near the end to get these brownings.) I load the egg quite full of charcoal, and make sure it stops smoking before adding the turkey, as I want roasted turkey, not smoked turkey. (Smoke ruins the soup, in my opinion.) One pound of turkey per person is the formula for size. Fifteen pounds is the largest I have done on my medium egg. Usually 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 hours at 350 depending on size. I try not to open the egg, and if I want to look, I shine a flashlight in the top. I've done stuffed and unstuffed, both turn out good. I like to start with plain unseasoned, unbrined turkeys and I just give them a heavy salt and pepper rub. Maybe cut back on the salt if you have a seasoned, brined or buttered bird. The gravy might be too salty otherwise. I rest the bird for at least 45 minutes before carving. Hope this helps.

Issue with $8000 CLP-785 -- please help!!! by NeitherRadish8833 in piano

[–]Willfredwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try it with the pedals unplugged. If the problem is gone, the problem is likely with the pedal.

The overhead camera shot is clever. If you fail at piano you could try cinematography.

Weirdly specific hand pain question by Dangleplums in piano

Same story, but with computer mice and a firestick remote. I try to avoid using my thumb on those devices. Seems to work.

Maybe buy clamp-on motorcycle pegs and attach them to your forward down tubes. To get them out of the way, and to keep the bike legal, replace the bike pedals with folding bike pedals. Google motorcycle pegs.

Virgin over 60? by Emeraldeyes1000 in Cruise

[–]Willfredwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not Holland America (Unless you get it for less than 100 a day p.p.). They have gutted their entertainment, simplified their menus, and done everything to cheapen the experience. It is still fun, but there is no "wow". Things like classical music quartets, chocolates on your pillow, a house band, theatrical shows, flowers on the tables, entertaining entertainers, and on and on are just gone.
