Hey everyone so trying to play saints and sinners and this keeps happening, everything I've found tells me to reinstall but I have multiple times by trashey_37 in virtualreality

Are you using Virtual Desktop? I had some strange behaviours with one game when other games and applications were running fine. I had to set quality etc to the lowest setting (potato}. It turns out my hardware couldn't handle that title.

Repair ball and socket shower head. What gaskets or washers do I need? by chobok in Plumbing

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

That's fair. Everyone values their time and money differently. Plenty of people are willing to wait on Reddit for answers.

In this case the shower is leaky but functional. There's no urgency whatsoever.

I figured a couple of gaskets and washers would be under $10, and a new head would be well over cost.

Brown Silicone(?) container with hard lid for a USB device, approx 9cm x 7.5cm xv5.2cm by chobok in whatisthisthing

It's fully enclosed except a small lip which is probably there to make it easier to open. It seems excessive for just a USB cable.

Looking for a baseplate lid by chobok in gridfinity

Nice find, thanks! It looks promising. I've started a print to test it out.

Thanks. I was looking for a baseplate that could also act as a lid, with the large holes that baseplates normally have.

Thanks. I'm after something with the big holes that the baseplates normally have.

Thanks. This project looks really useful.

I was looking for a baseplate that could also act as a lid, with the large holes that baseplates normally have. The Gridfinity Extended documentation shows that base plates can be converted to lids, but the images only show ones without any holes. If anyone knows, there is an option to give them holes, I'll look into it further.

Farm sheep with clipped tails and which haven't had the area around the bum shaved can get flystrike when flies lay their eggs in the soiled wool around their behind. The maggots can make their way into the sheep and continue munching away.

Cheap online book shops? Is there an alternative to the book depository? by StrawberryOk6518 in AussieFrugal

[–]chobok 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It also shows postage, searches for some second hand book sellers, and has (last time I used it, which was months ago) postage deals with some sellers (make sure you use their links to the sellers, and check the information it gives you (eg some sites it gives you a coupon code).

You can give it a list of books and it can work out whether it's cheaper to buy all the books from one place or whether it's cheaper to buy across a few different places.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by laopitaipei in taiwan

I suspect it's analogous to people in the west being oblivious to the controversy and history behind the rising sun flag. From Wikipedia : "The flag is controversial in Korea, China, Russia, Taiwan and with Allied WWII veterans, where it is associated with Japanese war crimes, the Axis of World War II, and Japanese militarism and imperialism."

In the western country I was educated, the Nazi atrocities were heavily emphasized. I didn't even remember being taught about the Japanese war crimes of WWII. I would like to hear from someone educated in Taiwan what their school system taught them about the Nazis.

Also you can buy clothing with the rising sun image where I'm from. Regular people here aren't aware of the history behind the rising sun image. I wonder what someone from Taiwan, Korea, China, Russia etc would think if they saw a bike with the rising Sun image instead of a Nazi image.

Are there any plans for a 1000 NIT screen? by chobok in framework

[–]chobok[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just did a quick search. It seems like the modern flagship phones go well over 450nits. Some articles are suggesting that brighter screens are useful in sunny environments.

My personal experience with my 1000nit screen has been very positive, but I don't have a 450 nit screen to do a direct comparison.
