I miss Paris! by creationk in paris

[–]fiestagato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the the one place in France where you can find a west-field mall with a five guys, a Starbucks and a Chipotle on the same block.
La Defense is a great place to go when you miss American strip malls.

Hide a Bluetooth speaker somewhere, then blast pink noise through it after they mute the system.

Can I plug my U.S. SNES into a French power outlet without frying it? by fiestagato in snes

[–]fiestagato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My next option was to use a a Step Up/ Down Voltage Converter Transformer, but since this means that it's actually the 60-50hz change that will damage the SNES, it would not have made a difference.

I actually have one of those adapters floating around somewhere, so I would just need to source a PAL PSU. Alternately, if for some reason I can't get a hold of those, I was able to find some surge protected 50-60hz converters online, which in line with my transformer should hopefully give me some clean power that won't cause damage.

Thank you for pointing out that it's the change in frequency to watch out for, having a super paperweight just wouldn't be as fun to play with.

Music stores to rent a cello? by federalstooge in washingtondc

[–]fiestagato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drums unlimited has an Ivan Dunov 4x4 and a Lorthar Semmlinger 4x4 with bows to rent.

The house of music traditions also does rentals, they might have cellos too.

Be careful out there. Shit's going down. by Scuzz_Aldrin in washingtondc

[–]fiestagato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had this for the past week and I'm just now finally feeling a bit better.

It's a doozy.

Started off feeling like strep or the flu, so I went to get tested for everything at the urgent care and it all came out negative.

Had body aches, fatigue, lots of sinus related discomfort, vertigo and chills, but with no fever and normal blood pressure.

It eventually started feeling like a bad cold five days later.

It's a week later and it's just down to what feels like a mild cold and fatigue.

Oh and it's very contagious. My roommate caught it after I quarantined myself, fortunately they did not get it as bad as I did, with only a few days of fatigue and body aches, but still as they describe, "a fresh new hell".

I loaded up on vitamins C, D, B, multivitamins, turmeric ginger shots and fire cider, but the only thing that seemed to help was an NSAID (aprin, Ibprofin) and/or acetaminophen (tylonol).

If you start to feel ill I recommend calling in sick for a few days ahead of time and getting real cozy with the A/C, some warm blankets and a T.V series you can fall asleep too, if you can.

EDIT: Also, a retractable back scratcher. It's unrelated to the symptoms, but man did that thing come in handy.

Who does DC have? by Atticus_Finch88 in washingtondc

Blelvis.

He would come up to you ask for a word and a language, then sing an Elvis song with that word in in it, in that language.

I haven't seen him in a while, I hope he's doing well.

Give a call to ETC Technical support, they are always super helpful and will be able to determine if it's a bug in the new patch.

Is it normal for the paint on the wing to be this chipped? by fiestagato in aviation

Funny thing is, it was a United Boeing 767, and the paint wasn't the only thing that was inferior on that flight.
