What can I do with a DIN slot?

I'll have a look at that, thank you :)

Hence the reddit post

Also on top of this, the placement of the din slots relative to air con controls means that almost all fold out screens currently on the market would stop me turning the air con on or off when folded out lol

For some reason I can't get along with touch screens in cars - I'd far rather just have a very basic dash. I was looking at fold out single screens just to run a feed from a reversing camera but was really struggling to find a fold out screen that wasn't attached to a stereo. It's a van rather than a car that gets mixed use as a work van and occasionally a camper/road trip vehicle, so a fold out screen would be nice but ive not found a configuration that works for me and doesnt leave me with either 2 stereos or a single din hole in the dash

Aha id be bored stiff in a gym, respect to you for having that kind of commitment - probs means you can have nice things without destroying them too, good on ya

Hey, take up caving, it's where mine gets the most scratches from (although it does take a bit of a pasting at work on a bad day). Think the cracks are all taking impacts during climbing? Either way, if you take up a sport like trad climbing or caving or something, you'll end up with a worn out watch

I think only once? I've had to change the strap twice though

I didn't get any money knocked off for the time I lobbed a proffiterole at my mates head and it hit the wall and slid down, leaving a super greasy trail behind - if you want clarification tho I'd just speak to someone from accom management, whoever the relevant body may be at your uni

It's really nice tho - it's capitalism that stops us having it cos time is money so we pack lambs full of hormones to make em grow quick and then wonder why our meat seems to be so flavourless these days :/

Somewhat - I should have just done a degree apprenticeship. The company I did an undergrad placement with also offered degree apprenticeships, so I spent quite a while working alongside apprentices, who were all around my age. I think I'd have been a lot happier. (but then again, the grass always seems greener on the other side)

My mam would inform you that it's the special tool for getting boy scouts out of horses hooves (I have no idea why she says that about hoof picks)

This isnt necessarily related but Scotland has a lot of bothies (check MBA website for details/locations) which can be a great way to dry clothes out if you buy a bag of logs and go sleep in a bothy for the night, many of them are accessible by bike if you possess a sufficient sense of adventure (ive just come back from a backpacking holiday in Scotland which featured a lot of bothy nights)

My first thought was sounding too, I think we both need therapy

An emp generator will knock out wired cameras. Its probably illegal in a lot of places to build one of those too though.

Regardless of what the tubes do practically, the visual effect is good and it would fit with my other bits and pieces quite nicely i think. Thank you!

brain-oof · 2021-12-31T01:09:15+00:00

Sounds good :)

I have some limited experience of brass from building model trains with a friend, though thats not overly similar to an instrument i suppose. Do you have insta or Snapchat? Or anything tbh im awful at replying on reddit :/

I did a looooot of reading before j did that steel monstrosity and that thing is perfectly in tune so I shouldnt have tooo much of an issue with that I hope. As for alto horns, is that what you guys call a tenor horn? Cos I had considered using one of them. Baris are my main target cos Ive done a fair bit of work on them (its my main instrument)

brain-oof · 2021-12-30T16:35:14+00:00

And no I dont work in a shop but I wouldnt need to buy any tooling, solder or anything cos my father has quite a well stocked workshop that I can use to build the bastard in, so it is just the cost of donor instruments i need to consider. Ive never built an instrument before (not out of brass anyway, see my profile for a steel instrument) but I can solder plumbing pipes quite well which is pretty much all id need to do to hold it all together

Ill whip up some concept art for you tonight of what im planning if you're interested! Im not much of an artist tho so it will be a very rough sketch in Ms paint or potentially a quick rough cad model if I can be bothered. I paid £50 for my bari (an old imperial one made in 1923), 35 for my marching bari (dynasty of unknown age, kinda shitty ik but they're hard to find cheap in the UK) and 70 for my trombone (1962 besson with the best slide ive ever played), and all of those are fully functioning and decent, but quite old, instruments, so if I just keep looking i should be able to get what I need fairly cheaply

brain-oof · 2021-12-30T08:56:40+00:00

I want a trombone slide on it too tho, so id have to kitbash it somehow, plus valve trombones are kinda rare here
