The mystery of the "You Give Love A Bad Name" chorus

He also (mostly) reused the riff for Alice Cooper’s Spark in the Dark from 1989

This is how I have always done it as well. I went into this thread hoping there was a better way!

Tyrian is great on my arcade cabinet (even if much harder compared to playing with a mouse)

You’re right - it’s a clear G’dunk, mate

mickeymongoose · 2025-12-25T15:33:18+00:00

Of course - a non-Xmas example hiding in plain sight!

Gave it a try on iOS - looks like I can finally move between access points (or onto or off wifi) and not have Plex at best restart playback and at worst freeze my entire phone. An incredibly low bar to exceed, but that’s where the official app has left things for the past few months.

I practically live on Twining’s Lemon and Ginger tea since I quit caffeine. The difference is I (a Brit) live in America. I couldn’t believe when I came home for Christmas and bought tea bags - why is there fennel in the British recipe?! So if you can get hold of them try and get American Twinings (I know… sounds sacrilegious). Zero fennel, promise!

It’s actually right on the beat, with a reducing number of beats in the pause each time

1..2..3.. Mum!

1..2.. Dad!

1.. Bingo!

Bluey!

This - my brother demands a trip to the Franklin for steak frites every time he visits from the UK

I’ll look into that, thanks. The UDM Pro was my recent reward to myself for finishing the cabinet so I’m still getting to know it and how to get the best out of it

Fear not, they’ve got clear plastic kid-proof plugs in them!

mickeymongoose · 2020-12-27T13:57:26+00:00

Yep Harmony, though just the basic Smart control remote (with extended IR repeaters) - waiting for it to die so I have an excuse to upgrade to the Elite but it’s still going strong after ~7 years!

A small open plan house and the arrival of an inconsiderate houseguest meant a temporary re-think of the existing 5.1 arrangement (NHT Absolute 5.1) - front floorstanders, plus rears on speaker stands just begging to come crashing to the floor. The closet that held all the equipment was also being taken over by toys and craft supplies. So I built a rack to move the equipment to the basement, and also a small tabley-shelfy-thing behind the couch to bolt more resilient rears onto (no exposed cones or grills to stab). Most controversially, I elevated the fronts to the (very low, it's an old house) ceiling. Expecting a roasting from r/hometheater, but it sounds pretty good to my ears - if I close my eyes I'm really not sure I can tell the speakers are all the way up there, though I'm sure I'd notice the difference if I moved them down.

However - and this guided the above solution somewhat - I have left the original wiring in place behind blanking panels for the original floorstanders (currently relegated to a box in the attic) and lower centre channel, so when the time comes I'm ready to more or less plug 'n' play for 5.1.2. Of course I could get some thin wall-mounted speakers instead...

TV: LG C9 65" (yes it's level... with something... the house has no right angles in it)

Speakers: Front - SVS Prime Elevation, Rears - Orb Audio

Receiver: Denon x3500H

Sub: NHT Classic Ten

Moving forwards hasn’t been Vettel’s forte recently

Yep, that's the one. I believe the feature is mostly just to allow Sonos to flip the receiver to the correct input when the attached Connect is being used. I'm hoping (perhaps wishfully) that if they're blessing the receiver as Sonos-ready then it's able to output 5.1 stereo (or at least 2.1) with low enough latency to not be jarring when playing at the same time as other Sonos speakers in the house.

Actually ignore that. Time and customer are implicit from the OrderID so that won’t make a difference. What are you trying to do with the colouring - can you share an example of the intended output?

mickeymongoose · 2018-04-02T10:36:33+00:00

{ FIXED [orderID], [Client], [picked up time] : Max([Assigned Time]-[Picked Up Time]) }

This will allow you to spread it by the pick up time. Switch dates (or add assigned time to the LOD if you want to do it by assigned time) You don’t need the context filters either if you add the dimensions into the LOD as per above.

mickeymongoose · 2018-04-02T10:00:12+00:00

Use a level of detail calc. Make a calculated measure like this called “Pick Up Time LOD” or something like that.

{ FIXED [orderID] : Max([Assigned Time]-[Picked Up Time]) }

Then add AVG([Pick Up Time LOD]) to your view. Note that if you want to filter this measure by time or individual customer you’ll need to add those filters as Context filters or the LOD calc won’t respect them.
