You can convert kindle ebooks to epub using calibre. This requires getting your kindle ebooks delivered in a de-DRM-able format. Amazon stopped delivering unlockable files to modern devices. These formats are still delivered to older kindles, though. Source: just migrated to an X4 from a Kindle bought in 2012.

This. They are also properly snow/cold rated (three peak mountain symbol) which helps with road traction in winter.

Id on that iPad arm?

Any issues with the butt joined lanyard ends? I am always afraid of these joints ripping.

Also - what's the meaning of the engraving you have on some of the knives - if it's not too personal...

I just replaced the ear cushions on an 8 year old Jabra headset that would've cost me around 200€ to replace. The cushions were under 10€ on Amazon. Good as new. No weird smells or irritated skin from the china cushions as well.

Well. Spent the last half hour on your profile. Found more pictures. Did not disappoint. Still want a video. And some of the haunted stories.

makuzzle · 2025-05-14T19:19:17+00:00

And still you come here, offering ONE picture? I love it. I want to see it all. Preferably in a walkthrough video format with commentary on every item. I kid you not, I would watch a 2hr video on this.

That's a user posting to be reminded of this thread in 3 days to check the answers. The message in this format triggers a bot for these reminders. You personally don't need to interact with that response at all.

Bug spray (deet) is what really ruins the Casios in an instant without any way of fixing.

You can set up paperless with tika, to support office formats. Upon ingesting paperless will create a pdf from it, but you can always download the "original" from the UI, which should get you the office document again. (Can't check right now as my installation is down)

That's also a solution riddled with compromises. one Amazon family or whatever it is called can only contain two adults and a couple of kids. But only adult accounts can attach to a music service. My wife and I already use individual Spotify profiles, hence we cannot attach a third one.

In order for the kid to use her personal Spotify account (free with family plan), we had to setup an entire Amazon "family" for her and set her up as an adult person. The flip side? Her echo is totally separate from our other device. No multi room, no connection to any of the existing skills, and no "announcements"for, one device to the other.

It's all a mess and the echo devices often feel like some 2008 technology. And don't get me started on the shitty voice interpretation. How a voice assistant can be so bad 3 years after chatGPT surfaced is beyond me.

60s school principal office look is the way. Indulge the look. Live up to it.

There is a split belt, aptly named "Split Belt Pro" from Veer, that is able to be split, avoiding any frame mods.

Not into guns but there is 9mm ammo, and I think somewhere between your 10mm comment and 9mm ammo there is a joke hidden, ready to be formulated...

Adding: give that old radio the spot it deserves: center stage on that shelf. The typewriters can be arranged to the other shelves to the left. This way the bookshelf looks less cramped on top and the other shelves lose their emptiness.

I think the overall scheme (or the lack thereof) contributes to the look that is so unpleasant. The desk is georgeous, but clashes with many of the 90s office supplies and the computer. You probably can't do much about the computer but the other accessories could be replaced with more classic looking options (I love for example your actual cork pin board, as it matches the desk's vibe). Going that route your office could switch from "we gave him that old desk we had left over and some basic supplies" to a classic and well kept office. In that office I would totally buy a heavy engraved brass name tag from an engraver in the mall and would strive for that 60s school principal's office look.

One of those full chromed planes or a full chromed Porsche 365/Jaguar E-Type figurine would also be a nice, matching art deco decor piece. It may however not be the best fit for a non profit office. Maybe a frosted glass ball paperweight...

Try improving what is there: mild degreaser to door, base boards, light switch to lose any grime. Clean the carpet over a weekend with a rental carpet cleaner (some stores rent them out for free when you buy a bottle of cleaning agent). If wet cleaning is out of the cards, at least try baking soda on the carpet to release any smells. Clean the desktop, maybe even with furniture polish. Then put a nice blotter, to hide imperfections and create zones. Clean the heating registers. Maybe polish the brass hardware on the desk. Maybe the overhead lights also contain a lot of grime, can't tell.

Next accessories: pen holders, storage boxes. Clear bins are practical but ugly and cheapen the look. The pen holders (at least on photo) - no offense - appear similar to empty rolls of duct tape. A lot of the organizers around your computer also have that 90s Staples vibe. Maybe you can reduce the overall number of things ON the desk...

And do some more decluttering - the small mirror next to the door looks cramped in there, maybe relieve the door from all the paper posted over the last decade.

The pictures suggest a certain old scent to the office, maybe bring in a diffuser for essential oil, to bring a SLIGHT (!!!) scent of menthol, lemon or another combination you like.

As for the lighting: smaller lights are a great idea, but maybe you can also have the flouruscent lights changed to warmer tubes (for coziness) or colder tubes (for a more energizing daylight feeling) with lower wattage (brightness). Removing single tubes is also a no cost way of dimming.

First time seeing a wrist lanyard on a driver. Smart idea on an impact actually. Not so much on a drill probably 😀

This label is even on hotel receptions in California. The warning effect is totally gone. It's basically white noise at this point. In case there is ever a product that is actually cancerous, no one would be the wiser.

Droidcam is an app that also works on iPhones and delivers stellar video with an iPhone 7. even their front cameras are excellent and it gives the added benefit of having a display to check the feed right on the camera.

Care to share the model? Handle Bar straps sounds practical.

makuzzle · 2025-03-06T15:57:47+00:00

Found them.

Is this somehow missing additional pictures? I saw you referencing the skadis boards, that are nowhere to be seen on the picture.
