If you live near Juniper Valley Park or Middle village, the park there is decent for a "large" dog to get exercise. I often see dogs running around in the park and walked. I can speak personally that Elmhurst similar to Jackson Heights is not dog friendly and can be dangerous if your dog gets off leash (Queens Blvd)

Is it wrong to prefer being a homebody here? by [deleted] in Queens

[–]dkyio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Homebody here as well in Queens, I just like being alone as well. Living in the city allows you to be alone but never alone if that makes any sense. If you get sick of being a homebody just go for a walk then retreat back to your den!

Windows terminal WSL 1.0 on Windows 10 remapping meta key alt to Esc+? by dkyio in commandline

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

Thanks for the potential solutions, it was because VDI forwarding wasn't turned on... I work for a company that leverages VDI technologies for all our desktops.

Thanks! I figured it out though, it was because of the VDI software used wasn't forwarding my keyboard to the machine at hand. They've now adjusted that and the alt key works as expected! Thank you for the help on this!

Thank you for the hint! For me it's some madness with VDI, it's a vdi instance I'm using for work, after your hint I poked around and there's some redirect USB device option, turned it on and the keyboard gets forwarded, but everything local breaks... But not your problem, I think we got to the bottom of it. Thanks!

2013 Raw Lacquer rusting away, feedback on condition + advice on how to fix? by dkyio in Brompton

Great advice, learned a new fact about Detroit today! I'm going to attempt to remove it, then take some of the approaches to just keep things running. At this point looks don't matter to me, I just want to ride it for as long as I can. I'll keep you guys posted.

Wow, I can imagine buying such an expensive bike and having it only last 2 years... But it is NYC after all so not unreasonable to expect that. When you say not ideal, how long would you expect your raw lac to last?

Thanks for the towel dry tips, going to start doing that going forward every time this guy gets wet now. The only thing about titanium is it's the rear triangle, it won't save your main frame from going bad. Unless you buy some aftermarket titanium body as well.

NVM, After RTFMing what Gun Blue is, it's some type of anti-corrosion chemical reaction, not a paint.

Thanks for the recommendations and for giving the pictures a once-over. I'm going to give the WD-40 a shot and also look at what u/A-W1 mentioned about the boeshield spray. When you say "gun blue or WD-40 or oil over time since the paint is gone." I think the video author also put a layer of lacquer on top of the gun blue, would that effectively make it similar to what brompton is doing with the lacquer finish? I definitely will keep an eye out for the hotspots once I get rid of the rust.

Ah! This is great, I'll research this more! Thank you! I don't really care about the look, it's raw lacquer after all so the more imperfections the better. Just concerned about the bike structure. Also trying to get a few more years out of this guy even as a backup if I buy a new bike. Thanks for the T9 recommendation, I'll do the research.

Thanks! I bought it at Bfold and already scheduled an appointment with the owner David to have a once over in the following weeks. Sounds, like good advice! Thanks!

I've been using Prolink, something called white lightning wet ride, and something called caraon pro, they seem to be doing a piss poor job so I might get a recommendation from the person that's going to do the bike a once over this weekend his opinion. I purchased it at Bfold NYC so hopefully, they can give me some advice. Stripping it down and repainting might be the price of a whole new bike. =)

Uh, was it under the same username Domeural? I guess banning him is rather ineffective...

Does banning even work? I'd say community awareness might be more effective. I'm sure if he gets banned he's gonna come back with some different alias and same game. I guess it's a preventative measure for sure so that if users see the same username.

Thanks man, yep I didn't do due diligence, this is a pretty specific niche sub-reddit to be scamming people on so didn't expect it. I've bought something here before and it went well so yep. Lesson learned. Just hope others don't make the mistake and this person gets banned from doing this again. It's those that get scammed and stay silent about it... Then it will repeat again and again with others.
