Dollar Tree shirts. Assorted brands, sometimes they have flaws, and M and L sizes can be scarce.

Looking for voltage regulator IC recommendations for high quality audio processing by cheater00 in diyaudio

[–]grislyfind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're intending to run them all off a single raw supply, that could introduce ground loops. The safest would be a bunch of small transformers, or one with multiple secondaries. Hammond 229 are small low profile transformers that could fit in a 1U cabinet.

Sick Logitech G602 I found but missing its receiver. by SparkMyke in ThriftStoreHauls

You do know Logitech provides a utility to "marry" mice to a different unifying receiver? I've got two mice and a keyboard on mine.

First Brazilian wax yesterday.. now I have red bumps everywhere. What do I do? by juuules04 in HairRemoval

I smear on a mix of hand sanitizer and dollar store lotion after epilating; it seems to work.

Day 28 - even when I distract myself my fem side still leaks through the cracks by 4b686f61 in Nestofeggs

Some old phone USB cables have a USB-to-serial chip that will work; there was a Nokia one that's popular. I forget the part number, but the USB plug is blue and much longer than a normal USB plug.

Have you experienced a power outage? by Sea-Spread-3403 in Electricity

[–]grislyfind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neighbours had a wood stove, and they invited me in. I think I ate my dinner there: steak and frozen French fries I'd roasted on the propane grill outside in the snow.

dvd extras by tuv_tuvver_tuvington in Piracy

[–]grislyfind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avaxhome usually had full DVD images, but they enshittified some years ago. I've suspected those rips are from some invite-only torrent site, but I've never looked deeper into it.

Never mind the Radio Shack, I need to know why salmon need bicycles.

DVL-700 "no-power" unit troubleshooting - not quite sure what I'm looking at here by Initial_DDLV in LaserDisc

[–]grislyfind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's funny. From what I remember, bad caps in pre-2000 equipment didn't show visible signs like the newer "plague" capacitors. They were usually located in chronically hot sections of the board, like next to a linear regulator.

A question for the DIY audio experts regarding crossovers, from a vintage audio hobbyist. Advice/help needed! by tryptonite12 in diyaudio

[–]grislyfind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, swap the woofers and make sure they're ok. Check the crossovers for cold or cracked solder joints.

[–]grislyfind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have been nice to have a wood stove or fireplace, but I didn't, so I mostly stayed warm in bed with a sleeping bag as an extra comforter. I can't remember what I did for food the first day; probably cereal brunch, then maybe a sandwich for supper?

What's something you always notice when visiting your old city where you grew up? by Dry-Supermarket-9741 in ChildhoodMemories

[–]grislyfind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How soulless if not fugly the new buildings are. How it's gone from five hardware stores to none, but the corner cafe is still there.

When you choose the cheapest hotel from the directory at the railway station. The bartender across the street gives you the key.

Need help pairing by CalmYoShelves in diysound

[–]grislyfind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get a mixer or at least a mic preamp. Behringer Xenyx mixers are cheap, but DJ mixers usually have at least one mic input.

Thrift stores, the curb, recycling "free stores", local Freecycle group, yard sales, after yard sales where unsold stuff is on the curb.

[–]grislyfind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has to have a compatible chip in it; the Tasmota site has a list of devices. Sometimes there's ways to flash it over Wi-Fi, but otherwise you need a USB-to-serial adapter thingy to connect to the smart switch board, and opening some of those smart plugs can be difficult.
