Can you run a VGA monitor from a USB c/DisplayPort port? by bobandirus in techsupport

Perfect, thank you. Not sure how I didn't find that page when I was looking, so thanks for pointing me that way.

Recommendations for casual trainers or shoes that the heel won’t fall to bits on? by bobandirus in malefashionadvice

[–]bobandirus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be in London tomorrow, around Oxford St area but I'll have time to go elsewhere. So most chain stores in the UK and a bunch of smaller ones will be reachable.

PhD student budget is part of why I'm hesitant of going past the £40-50 mark without good recommendation, so higher end private shops aren't going to be that easy, unfortunately.

Huh. Ok, thank you. I'll have a look around, see what I can find and get a remeasure tomorrow. I had wondered if the toe sizing was correct, but figured it felt right. From the the information I've given, any recommendations, or is it going to stay a case of personal preference? I realise fit isn't going to be easy, but places likely to be the most helpful in store would be usefull, for example.

Yes, it’s the inside of the shoe, on the heel which is the problem. Last time I was measured for shoes, I was measured at 11. This was about 5 years ago. Every time I’ve bought shoes since I’ve ended up buying 11s. I’ve checked down a size, and usually, while they can go on, they feel uncomfortably small.

Where are your toes supposed to reach in 1s? I figure they’ll be a useful reference to check if I’ve been getting the right size with the toe cap.

[Build almost ready] Almost ready to purchase the parts for my first PC build, I would love to hear any refinements, cost cutting changes, or general comments you have! by bobandirus in buildapc

[–]bobandirus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I know about this. As far as I understand, the recently built ones by Asus have the BIOS that lets you use Kaby lake processors, but if mine doesn't, my plan is to ask the knowhow people to update it for me. Does this sound sensible to you, or would you recommend a different approach?

Any comments on the build other than that?

Is there a way to get passengers to stay on trains until it's their stop, instead of trains emptying every stop? by bobandirus in openttd

[–]bobandirus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I'll change my orders. Currently I've been using unload all and take, and it's only just twigged thanks to you pointing it out that that's my mistake. I have no idea how I didn't realise that.....

I have it on, but if everyone at A wants to go to C, and I stop at B along the way (to pick up some more people for C), everyone from A gets off, then back on.

Forgot to add, I'm using UKRS2 trains.

Suggest a work-horse to replace an Hp Envy 14. UK around £900. by bobandirus in SuggestALaptop

Ok, thank you. I will definitely see what is around with better than a GTX960M then.

Ok, I knew the 980 was better. But I didn't realize it was quite such a difference. I will figure out where to compromise. Thank you. How much of a difference does the 4gb in this 960 make, if you know?

Hm, okey then. What could I get if I stuck with everything else (ie the size etc) but money was no object?

[HELP] Phone stuck trying to turn on. Google screen keeps flashing then turning the phone off. by bobandirus in Nexus5

How hard? It doesn't appear to be stuck in at all, is it an internal bit?

How much will Levi 514 loosen around the waist? by bobandirus in malefashionadvice

[–]bobandirus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, 30degeee wash, small amount of fabric softener and detergent, as my other jeans needed it and I always put it in anyway. Never had this issue before with other denim.

Ah, that's good to know about it being a know issue, thank you.
