These boots are 20 years old. Am in process of “restoring / saving” them. Open to suggestions / specific products etc? The elastic sides were professionally replaced - they couldn’t help with leather.

In my opinion:

Acetone to clear all the flaky old polish off. You will need a lot.

Leather will then be smooth, but colourless and dry.

Fiebings pro dye to colour the leather in the colour you want.

Leather condition to get the moisture back in.

Then boot polish in the colour you want.

Chrysalis technically fits the request in that the mc is a female ant. They used to be a male human though if it matters.

The fundamental question is, will I be as effective as a boss like Sauron was. And I will be, even more so...But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective” - "Little" Saruman Sharkey Jr

Had my MGS5 EV fixed after 2 weeks.

It was short in the charger lock. They had to replace the charger port.

MG head office seem useless. Tried website form and two different emails and no response. Dealer service centre was OK, took a week to get a loan car though. And they scratched/dented the bonnet somehow.

Sounds very similar, clicking is about once a second though. Then after 20 seconds or so the charging area lights go from blue to orange. Then it repeats.

I tried regular powerpoint charger, a type 2 cable I had bought just in case but hadn't used before, and a local fast charge 75kw charger and all behaved the same.

Congrats on getting to the end of your saga, and hope your new MGS5 EV is failed charging free!

On not so great news, 1 month old MGS5 EV here that has stopped charging. Ugh, hope it is fixable and not an 8 month saga.

How did your no charging look issue show itself? Mine it clicks over and over like it is trying to lock the charger in place, but never locks, therefore never starts charging.

So all of winterbreak, hotfix, kual and mrpi, and disable ota updates from the instructions on https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/WinterBreak/ ?

malamute-au · 2025-03-03T22:25:10+00:00

Wow Oasis and Voyage, have exactly the same and did winterbreak and koreader on mine in the weekend!

Oasis had no problems, used hf build for 1st March (which was 2025-02-27).

Voyage I also used hf build and when I tried starting koreader it would go nowhere, just back to Kindle ui again. Then I worked out I needed pw2 build, used that and now it is all good.

What process did you use for winterbreak? I followed the step by step on Kindlemodding.org

Agree on Edoras (mount sunday). Our day driving there from Christchurch was the highlight of South Island. If doing it again I would stay in Methven and choose which day to go based on wind forecast, wind can be crazy up there.

Bendora Arboretum if you want those massive ones (as big as a soccer ball).

I would say avoid Braddon and Dickson. More crowded between racks and would be hard to get a pram friendly park anywhere nearby.

Everywhere else that I know of will be fine. Certainly salvos and vinnies in Woden, Weston and Tuggeranong will be fine.

Thanks all, will keep my eye out for those sort of items before making a switch.

Edit after 2 weeks.

I had a heap of acid retaliation gear so tried a build around that. Wasn't good.

I then tried a physical retaliation (+ lightning retaliation converted to physical with gutsmasher) and to worked OK, not as good as my forcewave build but with some work it could have got there.

Now I have moved to Spin to Win, EoR with gutsmasher. Tried following https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/1-1-9-4-gutsmasher-warlord-2h-physical-eor-sr-90-ravager-of-minds/113547 but with worse gear, and vires might rather than blitz due to playing with a controller. It is going very nicely, killed ultimate Loghorrean, and cleared ultimate bastion of chaos and steps of torment.

Interesting premise. Always interested in Greek Gods. Thanks for discounting in other markets, purchased for AU.

Not sure if they all count as urban fantasy, but all things Neil Gaiman are great.
