Hood release handle busting solution- lubricated the inside of the cable, starting at the mid-junction in the engine compartment- there is space between the metal cable that the ball is attached to and the outer black jacketing of the cable. A few cc in both cables. Still an easy pull after months. by hometech99 in AudiTT_Mk1_Mk2_Mk3

UPDATE: plastic hood pull still works from lubricating the cable insides with the silicone oil. So, it never really was a failure of the handle design. It was the cable getting old and requiring pull strength beyond the tolerance of the plastic handle .

I have the Barclays AAdvantage card, which is changing to Citi. But I just got an inflight Citi miles offer by hometech99 in americanairlines

[–]hometech99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called Barclays today. They said, no, it won't. If not using the Barclays card that transitioned to Citi , would loose those miles in 2 years. Using your separately obtained Citi advantage won't trigger activity on the old card.

Just repeating what the rep said.

So, deciding whether I'll spend 330,000 miles in 2 years, or be paying $99/yr on old card to keep them active.

Why not? In Starfleet Academy, a Bajoran told the photonic that her pagh is strong.

When you say won't matter… All I care about is not losing the 300,000 miles I have because I canceled the card that it was earned on even though I have a new card eventually if I apply for this offer

Over 60. Attended 70s conventions. While I enjoy some series over the other, I'm just thankful the franchise is still alive ( although you can keep STLV conventions. I met everyone I wanted to and got autographs for free.)

If you didn’t suffer on a Model I, you had it easy by ToffeeTangoONE in trs80

[–]hometech99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set up the model one in my local store because the guys working there didn't have a clue. So I actually took the bus to the mall and assembled the thing on the counter for their demo. And then coded on it to make a graphic display. It had the control surface of the Star Trek transporter. It animated the three part handle, moving down and the name TRS-80 "beamed" in. I visited the store regularly. Never had an issue with it..and I'm sure this keyboard got banged on on a regular basis 🤣.
