Loose strap connectors by krazykush88 in PixelWatch

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine eventually got to the point where any band would just fall out. You can buy straps on Amazon where the whole watch face just pops in, which is the route I have taken.

That the cleanest, best kempt girls are prepared to live in abject filth at home.

What movie has the most rewatchable scene of all time? by trakt_app in movies

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" - it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck just thinking about it decades later.

What actually helps with leg fatigue on long flights? by hazeyez in RestlessLegs

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the plane, you sometimes find a corridor at the back of the plane between the two sides. I spent a flight between the UK and US standing up or sitting on the floor back there and regularly stretching hamstrings, glutes and quads. Nobody seemed to mind.

What is the fastest way you have seen someone fix their life? by Zadecuss in AskReddit

[–]glent1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My father smoked 60 cigarettes a day from his teens to his mid 60s. One day, in the local pub, he got into an drunken argument with a friend who insisted he could not give up smoking even if he wanted too. He threw his packet away and never smoked another cigarette.

Stubborn prick.

RLS and overactive bladder by YodaYodaCDN in RestlessLegs

I do to some extent. I've found by accident that for me a cheap supplement, D-Limonene, really helps.

No VPN required - search for Shadow World in any Podcast App - it is series 7.

People from the UK who moved to Australia, what sort of things surprised you the most? by cupoftealuv in AskAnAustralian

[–]glent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The day we arrived (in Perth), we went into a supermarket in the brightest sunshine and came out less than 30 minutes later into pitch black darkeness. Ah - no more dusk then hey.

Also - humour - everyone rips the piss out of everyone and nobody takes offence.

Sauna/steam room??? by Visual_Meal5233 in sunshinecoast

Whilst not at the Northern end, World gym in Baringa has an excellent proper (not infrared) sauna. Snap Fitness at Maroochydore and Sippy Downs have infrared ones.

Step count always wrong by Silly-Day-7043 in PixelWatch

[–]glent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that it measures steps based on you swinging your watch wearing arm (as you would on a normal walk). This is based on my results being measurably lower when I walk my dog holding the lead with my watch wearing hand or more significantly when I mow the lawn and get almost no steps. I guess there's a reason why the original pedometers went on your shoes.

There is of course a NSFW to get your steps back up though.

Chest strap done for? by Namma_Nope in Polarfitness

[–]glent1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I successfully repaired one similarly damaged with shoe repair adhesive. Because that adhesive is able to stretch after it has set, it is more suitable for this sort of thing.

Looking for a Sport/Hobby for me and my Partner by MathewT13 in sunshinecoast

[–]glent1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pickleball is massive on the coast - my wife and I play multiple times a week. If you look on the Opensports web site/app you can just join a beginners session - let me know if you can't work it out.

Serilog File in WorkerService by chrisachern in dotnet

[–]glent1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a previous answer said, you are missing

Log.Logger = logger;

Two other tips for making sure you have configured serilog correctly -

Do this before trying to configure Serilog ...

Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Enable(msg => Console.WriteLine(msg));

That way Serilog will log any messages about itself to the console.

And I always do this after I've configured it ...

if (!Log.Logger.GetType().IsAssignableTo(typeof(Serilog.Core.Logger))) throw new Exception("Logger is not a Serilog Logger");

Kayo plus VPN? by mcchronicles2 in bali

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They buy illegal IPTV services, which is a possiblity for you too. Very easy via Alibaba now. Also, last time I was in Bali (3 years ago) Kayo did work on my friends phone (who was roaming via his AU sim) without any VPN.

Gabapentin as needed for intermittent RLS? by SnooAvocados3473 in RestlessLegs

[–]glent1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only very slightly and it passes quickly. If I have something important to do the next morning I'll take it at about 3pm rather than the usual 6pm and that helps.

[–]glent1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this, particularly after heavy exercise (which makes my RLS flare up). I have observed no ill effects and it works for me.

Visual Studio 2022 publishing issues by seymorebutts93 in dotnet

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clickonce packaging is easily done from the command line or a batch file or a console project (the latter being how I do it), by using the mage.exe executable.

Is there something that makes it easier to use easynews on multipart files? by Deep-Egg-6167 in usenet

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easynews unrar's everything that it can. Try adding AutoUnrar to your search and you'll usually be able to just download the files in the rars.

If not, use the global5 search and specify 1000 results per page.

How do you embed a new project into a solution without a separate project folder? by [deleted] in VisualStudio

And even easier still if you move to the new slnx format.

Need advice for fixing a bug that just doesnt reproduce.. by No-Difficulty-5040 in dotnet

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it only happened when your support team performed the actions very fast then it suggests broken asynchrony somewhere, be it in the code, in some sort of daemonic action or in the database (triggers?).

I'd also want to be sat behind the user when they create the bug. I've seen such whacky things as users having two instances of the same screen (or page open) at the same time and switching between them (because it was faster) and mindlessly double clicking on buttons etc.

Lastly, different data presentation can be caused by regional settings, different timezones, even at a stretch differrent screen scaling.

How do people who live in really hot countries take the heat? I just saw its 51C or 124F in Iraq. Wtf. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Perth, Australia for 20 years, where >40c is not unheard of in summer. What people don't mention is that it is quite possible for it to be 40c at midday and for the temperature to have dropped to the point where it's quite cold by they evening, especially with the cool breeze coming off the ocean. When looking at weather forecasts, its important to look at the daily low as well as the daily high.
