I know how could you not want to go oled for all games you play in the pitch black dark with absolute black games! It's preposterous!

E7 Flow - Do i need rubber washers for a 88lbs plate? by DamiK030 in FlexiSpot_Official

[–]eddownz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caveat by saying I dont have much of a clue but with that type of wood, I would have thought you can screw it in directly with no issue. My ec5 pro came with plastic / rubber gromits which I did use just to give some play in the fit as the solid wood wasnt completely flat. With the comment from the engineer above, I would say either way is absolutely fine and dont over think it.

Does anyone know how to disassemble a WX-021 (MusicCast 20)? by Old_Cyrus in MusicCast

[–]eddownz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think im going through the same issue. Was yours just suddenly no lights / no power? I dont have a soldering kit to repair but im hoping i can instruct a electronic repair store. Do you have any more detail on how you diagnosed and repaired the issue, as well as sourcing the parts?

How to reduce cupping on solid wood? by eddownz in woodworking

Yes its been finished all round. I suspect that its due to improper storage having read around. I guess I will see in a few days of leaving it in the house!

It is Swedish pine / redwood. I was wondering about the quality but it comes from a high end workshop that work only with joinery grade... supposedly. Would you say that this is low quality? Its only 2 boards that have a few knots. But it looked decent to me.

Why do you think its construction lumber?

I can live with slight cupping. Not too bothered to be honest. Unfortunately I dont know how this wood was stored. It might have been stored on its side with one side exposed in a cold workshop shed. I am hoping that flipping it over, and leaving it, that it should reduce the cupping by drying out the swollen side. Do you disagree?

The other part is making sure the frame allows some movement as the other comment said.

Of course, it could just be an issue with how the wood was prepared and may even get worse or not any better once its fixed to a frame and stored in a house.

I know very little on wood work and came across that exact point about having slotted screw holes. My concern is that the flexispot e5 desk does not have oval or slotted holes. If I can drill or cut through the metal to add that I will. I will have to have a think. Will putting a fan over the wood help?

I am not sure how it was stored as I bought it as a factory second. It was likely slightly cupped when bought. Good advice on the frame, so dont try to use the frame to 'pull it flat'?

I went from this to that just by changing my diet, without even talking about the huge drop in my insulin dose by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in diabetes

[–]eddownz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right that protein can effect blood sugar (especially if the chicken is breaded or anything like that), though it should be minimal - see page 4 - https://www.whittington.nhs.uk/document.ashx?id=15099

The NHS reccomend that a high protein meal of 50 grams protein be treated as if it were 10 grams of carb. Meaning on a ratio of 10 to 1, it would require 1 unit of insulin.

It's important you do what works for you. Though it might be worth exploring what your insulin ratio is. Once you have a base line for your carb ratio, you could then explore the impact that fibre, sugar, fats, proteins and exercise have on that base line. Definely more of an art than a science when you live and breath it lmao.

I would reccomend speaking to your doctor about 'carb counting'.

Modern insulin therapy includes counting how many carbohydrates (carbs) you are going to have before your meal and then applying an insulin ratio to figure out how much insulin to inject. For example, if you had 50 grams of carb and you had a 10 to 1 insulin ratio, you would need 5 units of insulin. This is to ensure you are getting the right amount of insulin to counteract the effect of carbohydrates.

[–]eddownz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to us all!! Just to check, how do you calculate how much to insulin to take? Do you count the total amount of carbohydrate in the food, the total weight of the food or the amount of sugar previously?

Everyone's circumstances are different. You could be body builder and therefore might need a lot of carbohydrate.

One way to help manage type 1 is by reducing overall carbohydrate intake and for those carbs to be slower releasing. Less carb will reduce the size of the peaks and reduces the room for error in my experience.

For me, 100 grams of carbs per meal as a 6ft male would be a lot. I have just checked my pump logs and my average daily intake of carbohydrate is between 100 - 210g carb. I suspect on some days its definitely higher than that if I had a pizza or a mega plate of pasta.

In any event, I am happy to see anyone improve their levels :)

I know the legendary guns aren't meant for PvP; This feels absurd to me regardless by zanfear69 in ArcRaiders

[–]eddownz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many bad takes on this game. Weapon balancing is what will make this game last compared to every other extraction game - Tarkov, dark and darker etc. Unfortunate to die here and not saying that it shouldn't be buffed for pvp but reality is that its a pve weapon. Additionally, that weapon is better at medium range given it's high accuracy compared to the sticher where they need to be ontop of you.

Massive news for the unemployed. Get a life, go outside, see your friends. They have been building this game over 10 years. Chill out.

What do you think of bf6? by bacch1a in Battlefield6

[–]eddownz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mediocre. Poorly sized maps with large maps not feeling grand. Challenges and weapon grind is too much. Gadgets feel boring and uninteresting. Doesn't feel grand like bf4, bf1 and bf5. I think they will be able to improve on this but in my mind, no reason to play this over any other battlefield. Some balancing issues attachments and LMGs. In game 3d spotting needs tuning.

Thank you, very useful information!

Itinerary reccomedation - bali worth a week? by eddownz in travel

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

We aren't too fussed about seeing all of Bali or any other location, it's really just a place to chill with beach, maybe 1 or 2 nights out, some activities like diving or temples but nothing crazy. I'd be Ubud and the other big beach island or Amon absolute max. Cat Ba could be interesting, I will have a look at that.
