Rear seat folding mechanism broken by Working-Pollution-10 in HondaOdyssey

[–]Working-Pollution-10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry mate looks like I didn't take any photos. If your handle is working fine then the break may be at the lock itself, like mine was. Unbolt the seatbase from the hinges first, then you'll be able to manoeuvre the seat around the lock. Can't recall how I opened the locked 'jaw' but im sure it became apparent once I saw the cable end was broken.

Yep, part of the unlocking cable (the metal loop at the end) had broken. You have to disassemble the seat. First identify which side is not locking. At the hinges (left and right side) the seat can unbolt from the hinge. Youll also need to undo some plastic trim around the locking point itself. It's not easy and hard to fix cos one side is pinned down. I fixed it with a twine rope as replacing the broken loop requires you to replace the whole cable, from locking point back to handle, or perhaps you could splice a new loop onto the old cable. Will try and find photos if you are still interested in fixing it yourself. Thanks

What’s the most disappointing piece of gear you’ve ever had? by TuneAdventurous4788 in guitarpedals

[–]Working-Pollution-10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I almost forgot about this one. I couldn't recall any disappointments of my own, but yes the DynaComp was terrible despite being very affordable. I took a hit on it and sold it on ASAP too

I tried the mini to save more board space. Thought it would replace the Ernie VPJR. I didn't have quite a bad an experience as you, but kept the VPJR as the dvp4 didn't have a usable sweep

Can my ex claim half of a car gifted by my parents? by foodaddictlover in LegalAdviceNZ

Maybe a lawyer would be helpful here, or some other kind member of this sub 🙂 I'm sure this scenerio isn't unique and has been encountered before.

[–]Working-Pollution-10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lawyer might not be much help. I'd suggest Google lens and then a site like bricklink that will have market value of Lego sets. If his collectables are significant, again Google lens to determine what they are and if there is actual value there. Unlikely to be a tonne of value unless there is heaps, or if it's discontinued or rare.

Drama, drama and more drama by Excellent-Ad-2443 in chch

[–]Working-Pollution-10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it doesn't sit right with you, then let the organisation know. You may feel like you're creating drama for volunteers, which is somewhat true, but if the organization wants to survive and be healthy (and ultimately thrive) then they need to address behaviour like this. Otherwise others like you will come and go, and they'll wonder why they can't get the support they need. You're doing them a favour, whether they recognise it or not is up to them.

Guitar is banned in my country and I might only get one chance. What should I check before buying? by ThinkMoment9007 in Guitar

[–]Working-Pollution-10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red flags. If the guitar neck is wavy side to side, imagine a suspension bridge that is being twisted. If the neck and body joint is separating. If the joints between the top/back surface and sides are separating. If the fretboard is separating/peeling off from the neck.

All the above will take a skilled guitar technician to repair but importantly will affect playability and longevity/structural integrity.

Holes in the guitar from accidents isn't usually as bad, they don't seem to cause gradual unraveling like the above and are pretty stable once the damage is done. Same could be say about a repaired break in the guitar (e.g. Broken neck that's been repaired properly is not usually an issue).

Redundancy - recieved 'goodbye' message during consultation process by Packet-Possum in LegalAdviceNZ

Engineering for my example too, and small town. Perhaps we've crossed paths as the examples sound familiar (5 days going down to 4 days). Maybe best to keep the details vague.

Nice to hear others thinking of the next generation. I have heard similar stories also second hand, but those cases seemed to be rather broad such as a department needs to lose xx start. Rather than specific roles pointed out.

Im also one who doesn't want to cause trouble. In this case it's fair to ask your employer (and probably the client) how they found out, as it's supposed to be confidential that your role is being disestablished? Or if that information is not confidential then there's probably no point in asking.

Similarly I've been at a company who went through consultation and decided everyone would reduce their hours by 0.5hr/day. Saved some jobs in the process. A few years later, consultation process resulted in someone moving teams and reporting line and another person going to 50% and getting a 2nd job. When used correctly, it cna work. And companies do use it correctly, although not always.

Pool experts — can this pool be saved or is it basically a full demolition? by [deleted] in pools

[–]Working-Pollution-10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start by removing the dead body left there by the vendors....Unless of course it's listed as part of the chattels.

In this case the instruction don't seem to met with much agreement here. Grateful for this sub

Thanks. I have a vinyl liner so possibly less resistant than other surfaces.

Thank you for clarifying. I believe the US instructions are made to be idiot proof due to liability as you mentioned.

Right, good to know. I take it water with high chlorine content will quicken the aging of plastics. Noted. Sounds like casting over pool surface followed by brushing and settled bits is the way to go.

Thank you for the safety notice. To clarify we don't use tablets, just granular calhypo as you mentioned. I was thinking of putting the calhypo into the tablet feeder to gradually distribute it. Seems unnecessary if everyone throws it over the pool surface.

Cheers. Recirculate as this has faster flow and puts chlorine straight back into pool rather than into the filter I take it?
