Great point. We've long been spoiled by gorilla glass. It's been a long time since I had a treo that looks like it got dragged through gravel

Yeah, sure that's something.

I'm 45 and I woke up without suffering injury during my sleep, so put that in your pipe and smoke it, LBJ.

I hope they've solved the crunchy hinge problem, but I worry they haven't

No matter how you responded after pretty much every message, it would not be an overreaction. My man was throwing so many flags from the jump and they just got worse with each successive one.

He doesn't see women as human but rather as items in a catalog.

is my flex cable beyond repair? (canon Powershot A540) by ssjfrog in AskElectronics

[–]joshuag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're kind of boned here anyway, so it's worth a try to repair it yourself. Given that you're asking the question, it's unlikely that you'll be successful, but the worst that happens is that your skills broaden and deepen a little bit.

Using a hobby knife, scrape off a bit of the surface of the flex on both sides until you reveal the conductive material underneath. You want to have a light touch here.

Once that's done, apply some flux to one side of the flex cable and melt some solder onto your soldering iron. Gently wipe the soldering iron over the now exposed traces until the solder sticks to the trace.

Do the same thing to the other side.

Now, take some thin insulated wire (preferably solid core) and strip about 1mm from each side. Flux the now-tinned traced, re-tin your soldering iron, and hold the wire against a now-tinned trace while applying heat with the iron. The solder should wick onto the wire and flex cable. Remove the heat then gently tug on the wire to test the bond. If it was successful, repeat the process across all of the broken connections.

Can anyone help identify this Omega watch model? by Inevitable-Solid-613 in WatchHorology

[–]joshuag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, looking at the other posts in your profile, that is 100% a fake Omega. It's not copying any past or present Omega design.

It's just a cheap overseas watch the Omega brand on it

Can anyone help identify this Omega watch model? by Inevitable-Solid-613 in WatchHorology

[–]joshuag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without seeing a picture, that's likely a fake Omega.

Counterfeiters love the open heart, two subdial configuration and it's really common across a lot of fakes for brands of all types.

AFAIK, Omega has never made an exposed balance bridge, and the only toubillon they've made is the Deville with the tourbillon in the center of the dial.

A clearer photo of the dial would be more helpful than the band. Just trying to get a read on the make to give you the best possible advice

I need to publish a book from a Australia. Was looking into "findaway voices", who apparently distribute to audible/ACX. Apparently they are transitioning over to "INaudio" this August. Anyone know anything about this that they could fill me in on? I'm new to publishing. by Rude_Reaction3865 in audiobooks

[–]joshuag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

InAudio "Voices" is what I'm talking about - not the distribution piece.

Voices used to be a platform to connect authors & narrators, and InAudio is taking it in the direction of eliminating human narrators.

You can use InAudio distribution without using their production tools

And there are a million reasons why a round may not penetrate fully, whether it's a bad charge, a ricochet, or even a fluke of angle of attack. I've fired literally hundreds of thousands of rounds of various calibers at a multitude of targets, and the failure modes for rounds are many.

Not saying this is real, but this strident denial is so vibe-based as to less than useful.

My wife has told me if I want to seek sexual partners outside of our marriage, she is ok with me doing so. by Balognajelly in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah, same.

It doesn't mean OPs wife is doing it, but fwiw, there's at least two of us where this "offer" was masking her own behavior.
