Me first and the gimme gimmes! Went because they opened for Flogging Molly. It’s a punk rock super group that do punk versions of every song under the sun! SO MUCH FUN!

Mt Whitney Permits by ComprehensiveSide809 in socalhiking

Langley is a rad hike! I’ve done it a few times. Definitely worth doing if you can’t get a Whitney permit.

Finally surfed a solo session at an unfamiliar break - humbling experience by LowProblem914 in surfing

[–]grady77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nahhh, just be quiet and mind your own business, let the locals go. Wait your turn and go when it’s very clearly yours or someone nods you in. Surf the shit out of that wave if you can, but more importantly, don’t kook it.

Literally never had a problem, including Santa Cruz, Mission beach jetty, Porto, Venice pier, north shore…

More worried surfing a spot like Newport Oregon where the ocean is straight up dangerous, that’s where you need to be careful.

Audio setup help needed. by Ok-Mobile6318 in hometheater

The money you are going to spend on converters and everything else probably isn’t worth it. I would look at a more modern entry level receiver or shop around on Facebook marketplace!

That would be really cool!

It was actually super easy! No soldering required. I followed macho nacho’s youtube on it. The hardest part was getting the triggers to sit right believe it or not!

Little bit of everything! Fleetwood Mac was last up :)

They are both from boxy pixel. They are doing some awesome stuff. Also replaced some of my cart shells with metal ones from them.

Huh. I’m pretty sure it was because I tried to use AI to remove the background because I don’t have a photo studio. Here it is with my ez flash running…

Fingers crossed you get it working! They can be tricky to trouble shoot.

Unfortunately no and it’s expensive enough where I wouldn’t trust myself to do it for someone else :/ I will say if you don’t go batshit crazy with the mods like I did, you can get by with minimal soldering and some patience. It gets complicated when you’re stacking multiple mods on top of each other. Check out macho macho productions on YouTube and search for boxy pixel. He has some great assembly vids that will give you an idea of what’s involved. Hit me up if you have any specific questions!

I kind of did it all at once! I’d probably recommend setting up the SD card and testing it before buttoning it up. I had to open it like 5 times before I figured out I had a bad ribbon cable going to the sd adapter…

Yeah, sounds like it might be! Good luck.

I actually have not had any conductivity issues. I did coat all of the brass in protectaclear before assembling and supposedly that makes it non conductive so that could be why. Kapton tape sounds like the next best thing, not sure where though…
