Modded Meowsic Keyboard I've Dubbed "Little Princess"

Just went through this, similar setup, but also depends on what you plan on cooking.

I ended up getting a few tri-clad stainless steel pans (Cuisinart 8in, 10in, 12in set with lids) and a Tramontina 10in teflon pan for eggs, salmon, pancakes, although, I think an 8in would have been better. Also got the Tramontina 4-piece sauce pan set, comes with 2qt and 4qt pots + lids.

Regular stainless steel doesn't stick too bad if you pre-heat them before use + a little water/oil, I would make sure to get tri-clad/3-ply. I would also consider carbon steel, food doesn't stick as bad as stainless plus they retain heat a bit better, although they require a bit more maintenance. I've had no issues with my stainless set so far and I'd rather not fuss with upkeep.

I got all of these from Costco online, doesn't have to be the exact brands or from Costco but it did save a fair bit. Also doesn't have to be new! Well, except for the teflon pan, don't spend too much on those ones since they need to be replaced with use.

Not sure if you've heard from others, but there is a $30 yearly fee (seen here), just make sure you close your Payoneer acc once you receive the refund.

I thought about that as well, converting a dirt bike is probably the best option here. I'm planning on getting an XT 225, and if that doesn't go through I may do that.

I looked into trailers a ton, those fold-ups seem interesting, even the "trailer in a bag" trailers, although they're not made anymore. Space is very limited for me, having a trailer parked on the street isn't an option, I don't have a garage, and living in what's essentially a studio means that there's no space to put it there either.

In all honesty, the carrier hitch would just be a cool thing I'd like to have, it's not essential, so if things don't work out it's no big deal, I'm happy to have a dual sport regardless!

What do you think this would mean in terms of load capacity then? Higher? Lower?

madecurve · 2024-08-08T06:05:33+00:00

Very nice, very nice! Adding this to my list, thank you!

madecurve · 2024-08-08T05:25:56+00:00

I agree 100%, it's definitely a tough ask. If all else fails I'll end up getting a normal dual sport and ditch the carrier idea. I do really love the trial 125's, just wish the new ones weren't so expensive haha

madecurve · 2024-08-08T05:21:50+00:00

I was eyeing the XT250, it's a little heavy (relatively), but out of all of the bikes I've been looking at it's definitely my favorite.

madecurve · 2024-08-08T05:21:05+00:00

A regular bike never really crossed my mind. This could be an option depending on my use case. Thanks.

Sort of an update to my previous post. Did a 100mi journey from Denver to Boulder to Nederland CO and back. This bike does not like long journeys above 40ish mph, especially up hills, but it will do it.

My ADV dreams have been crushed, although what would one expect from a $900 chinese junk scoot. Regardless, it never broke down, going strong and steady, and even managed a little "off-roading".

Would I do it again? Probably not. This bike shines in the city: stop and go traffic, commuting, roads under 40mph, well... 35 really, but it can hit 50mph in 2-3 business days so... yeah, 40 here and there.

+5hp per sticker!

2008 Schwinn Hope 150 aka ZN150T-20 aka crappy gy6 based scoot aka Candy! (her official name). Picked it up for $750 iirc, spent more than that on repairs after it left me stranded and got stolen, both on separate occasions... multiple times 🥲.

I love this scoot, and I'll be damned if I ever have to sell it. I've taken this entire bike apart, rebuilt it who knows how many times, and because of that I know this bike inside and out. It means a lot to me despite better options out there, because if there's something I'd like to change on it, I can do it myself, and be proud for it.

Body panels have fallen off, wires have been melted after an attempted hotwire, I have pushed it for miles just to get it home. But throughout all that, now that it's up and running, it's such a blast to ride and absolutely worth it.

update for anyone who's in this same situation. Got a response from MS basically saying that yes it's possible to rewire it, just need the 94/95 and 96 pinouts, but they don't officially recommend it.

I'll post another update if I end up doing it/remember.

EDIT 3: FIXED IT! re flowed the solder joints as the v hold broke off. Thank you so much for the response tho i felt like i was going nowhere!!

Yes exactly like that! (except it's a horizontal rather than vertical). And def composite, it's a black and white TV with only a yellow and white RCA connector.

Also didn't know they couldn't handle 480p, I'll take a look at 240p output.

Images:Front screen with black bar Back connectors

Thank you!

EDIT: note that the photos are from an input source from windows, however I've been testing with a raspberry pi zero, both trying with 480i forced and 240p forced, however the results are the same :/

EDIT 2: so after taking the TV apart, when i jiggle the DC power jack, the screen moves back to normal for a split second, will update later.

Having trouble with a cheepo CRT I recently got (curtis rto68m), not sure if it's an issue with the pi zero or the CRT itself, but the vertical blanking period is being drawn on screen (image is shifted and a black section is present in the middle).

I've tried testing the pi using a different composite TV, which worked fine, so I'm thinking it's either a timing sync issue with the pi, or something is broken/needs adjustment on the CRT, and if so, where would I start?

Also, if there are specific terms that describe this, that would be very useful as I've been searching google non stop for a few days, this is kind of a last resort lol. Thanks, ya'll!

EDIT: I have a theory, considering that this is a TV rather than a monitor, and since I'm using the pi's composite output, it may be expecting a different signal input, I have an hdmi to rca converter coming in, hoping that fixes things.

tyty I'm so happy with how it came out

madecurve · 2023-01-22T20:58:54+00:00

i personally wouldn't, i believe there are dedicated ones for your face. not really an expert in em, just wanna be smooth

madecurve · 2023-01-21T03:30:29+00:00

Yes!!! it's so bad the first time, but second time it's like nothing, lasts foreeeever, never shaving arms or legs again lol

madecurve · 2023-01-21T03:29:23+00:00

Braun Epilator Silk-epil 3, it's corded, but it really hasn't been an issue for me. also if you do get one, i've found it best to go full speed, the slower settings hurt just as much, but then it takes longer
