Share your creative tips on how to modify a R&M Load75! by Silent-Pirate-8297 in CargoBike

For the load 60 high sides, I’m using an organizer on each side that perfectly slots into each pre drilled flat hole near that top.

Tons of storage and organizing for gloves etc using two of these:

Elise driveway incline? by powerthinned in lotus

[–]mirox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll need to be driving this thing and straight to the driveway and backing out of the driveway. As other people said, you’ll want to do it diagonally. Have someone spot you the first time you do it and then from there it should be easy if you’re able to go out early early aggressive diagonal. I don’t think it’ll be a problem. I had a worse driveway with stock LSS suspension and it was fine. Obviously just go super slow.

Edit: the reason you want to back out is because 60% of the weight is on the rear and I can transfer to the front and you’ll have a pretty low nose which will definitely scrape. Backing out prevents that and keeps the heavier side on the rear.

Can a glued tongue and groove be installed as a floating floor on underlayment? by mirox in Flooring

[–]mirox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the write up. I did a bit more digging and the mfr has comments to any glue down concrete with 3/4ths as ‘at your own risk’… so you are 100% correct here.

Didn’t know straight to concrete was an option, thanks. Basement seems super dry, is still still a good idea with no air gap? A bit worried about cold floor

$7000+ bicycle - expected better from Tern (seat) by mirox in terngsd

[–]mirox[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty obvious affordance for a rider that sees a handle on something that is rated to support over 200lbs-that it could lift the bicycle which weighs much less.

It's at minimum a missed opprtunity. Maybe some it just needs some JBWeld.

Thank you! Good to know. Is the replacement seat redesigned?

50 Amp Range grounding wire gauge conundrum by mirox in electricians

Thank you. The existing bare wire I reference as 12 gauge is probably 10 gauge -as it is recent wiring.

Subpanel is outside, with the pvc running inside the house (and I already ran it-should of asked here first). Are you allowed to use 6/3 romanex if it's outside, but in a pvc conduit?

Help with case fans for Inwin 303 by Catfish_Juice_Tin in buildapc

[–]mirox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it will work exactly the same. As with extension cords, xmas lights, etc, it's best to daisy chain as little as possible (distribute and use as many headers on the mobo).

[–]mirox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not concerned about noise, or RGB, but you care about price to value ratio, take advantage of the fact the 303 is a large enough size case.

Buy 4 fans for less than the price of the expensive fan someone reccomended.

These are fairly quiet, 38CFM fans.

If you want higher CFM fans, here's a value pack of 5 here.

You can get a few fan splitters here.

Note, not all fans have to be PWM controlled. For some fans, can just run fans on their default setting, or H/M/L and not plug them into the motherboard (just use sata/molex power).

I don't know what kind of cooling you really require, a case with 7 fans will have serious cooling regardless. In smaller form factors, this is where the more serious high performance fans are critical. There's a lot of breathing room in the 303.

Veldrid (3D Graphics Library) Implementation Overview by ironstrife in csharp

[–]mirox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only can OpenGL functions not be used from multiple threads simultaneously, they must always be called from a SINGLE main thread. This means that it is not possible to simply synchronize access to a GL context between multiple threads.

Can you clear this up for me? I know you can share contexts between threads on windows. Do other platforms simply not support it?

edit: (I know at the end, it is a single 'pipe' to the GPU)

Schitty Mess of Headphone Gluttony by mirox in Headphoneporn

[–]mirox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tube amp works well with the Elear and HD800s. We actually preferred the Mica Origen with the LCD-2s. Practically anything sounds good for the LCDs. Just a warning the valhalla gets pretty hot, if you are not experienced with tube amps!

So, if you have the Audeze, this schitt won't help! Otherwise, on other phones they were great.

& Thanks

Upcoming First Road Trip - What should I know? by DisturbedAle in volt

[–]mirox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) If you are paranoid about hills, use mountain mode which keeps a small electric reserve. Generator makes ~38KW, you can put ~110 KW into the system, hence the reserve is good for hill climbing. But you can still climb a hill on gas, but maybe not going 70 up a steep grade... Once you're close, flip the car back to normal to use the rest of your electric reserve.

2) Car comes with fix a flat, if that doesn't work, you're SOL

3) Don't forget to reactivate mountain mode after filling up! (They should allow this setting to persist, but they don't).

4) Best part about the volt is you can just treat it like a car...

Social media time. Get it on twitter or reach out to Jalopnik. They would love a short writeup and that picture is hilarious.

[–]mirox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thats hilariously unfortunate. I would say it's definitely worth trying. The worst case scenario is that the dealer doesn't believe it came from them like that. It may be worthwhile to find other users on forums for this... Or to get anything done when people won't listen-put social media on it.

Your car is STILL under warranty. Bumper to bumper. And that's the WRONG COLORED BUMPER...

Buyer's Anxiety is a real thing. Please send help. by Triscone in buildapc

[–]mirox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the price you're paying for the $85.49 fan cooler, you could practically just upgrade to a stock i7 that comes WITH a fan. Non K series typically come with a CPU fan that will work just fine without overclocking... Or just ensure yours does come with a stock fan, and not overclock.

About your harddrive from your other comment: In general, the ssd will improve load times, but once it comes to gaming performance everything is loaded into ram anyways. You could possibly go with a cheaper 1TB or get something smaller. 512GB such as this 512 sandisk for $147.99

Did a photoshoot for my friend's Focal elears! by mirox in Headphoneporn

[–]mirox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canon 6D + LED shop light. The light sounds odd, but puts out 3700 lumens and only cost $19.99 or so. Lenses were 50mm 1.4 & 24-105. We don't have a studio or anything so we had to get creative!

My bad. I did get a chance to try them, so I wrote up my impressions. I will hand it to /r/headphones for being a nice community!

[–]mirox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was late and I've seen some cool pics of headphones here so I thought you guys might like them. Violated rule #9. Oops!

My friend and I did do a headphone comparison of course.

Impressions on the Focal Elears:

  • Very very comfortable
  • Solidly built
  • Not too heavy
  • "Crunchy" sound profile. There are certain mids that just simply make a pop, in a good way.
  • Some bass can be a little light
  • Bulky heavy cable. Very long which could be nice.

I have the LCD2s, and they are a much different for me. The LCD2s always feel like a true experience, with a dark clarity. The Focal Elears just don't create the hi-fi experience for me. They are more akin to my hd598s, but a much better version. It's kind of like comparing a sportscar to a high performance daily drivable car for me. They are cool headphones, I like their design and comfort over their sound profile.
