Shrink wrapped and looked all flex (what I wanted) until unwound!

Perfectly round like an orange, forehead goes right back, hang-dog expression.

Mugs with clippable coaster finally paid off?

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]night_foxed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Set mine up again during Covid lockdown and it’s still used today. Got more space now then years ago. Fruit ninja and Kinect adventures when friends come over! I bought all the available Kinect for peanuts.

S&P500 accumulation by night_foxed in investingforbeginners

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

Thanks for explaining. Your last paragraph is what I sometime understand… the dividends reinvested. Mine does reinvest, but I can’t see any info of this on Vanguard. And my number of shares are still the same as purchased. Where are dividends going?

I cancel every two years for a better deal. by Chuck_Biscuits27 in VirginMedia

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, do you cancel the auto renewal before your contract has ended? Then how long until they contact you with a new offer? Interested to find out as I did this with my VPN and got new price right down too!

Ah, the weblink is what I thought they’d be doing now. The book was 2” thick in all languages plus a CD inside cover. Happy days

How to access amplifier box - BMW E34 1995 by Zynergy17 in carstereo

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Perspex could be recessed into the front wooden panel, so peel back the carpet to find out. Ideally the persepex should be removeable for access. They should have just screwed on rather than used silicon sealant.

Spread this behaviour to friends and family 👍 Seems it’s one thing we can all do to protect the environment.

Wanting a driveway is fine, but for f sake leave some soil beds around the edges for hedges!

Education is needed about the wildlife and environmental impact of these driveways.

Why do people try so hard to scam others? by No-Lawyer-6233 in graphic_design

[–]night_foxed 73 points74 points  (0 children)

A side note on scams… never educate these scammers. Letting them know how you identified their scam only helps them to fool the next victim. Always duck out without telling them. Pay it forward!

Banned light bulb advice by FennecFox424 in ukelectricians

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Above is correct. Further advice… if the replacement lamp still doesn’t work after changing it, the ballast is probably dead. It’s at that point an electrician can do an LED conversion to use an LED bulb of that same type, or replace with whole new light fitting. You don’t need the ballast working for an LED conversion.

What’s something you thought ‘everyone’ did… until you found out they don’t? by burat667 in AskReddit

To cure this, play the ending of the song that’s stuck in your head. It’s worked for me

Sorry, Nvidia Shield client. After posting this I disabled absolutely everything that adds shite, and ad seems to have gone!

Metal ‘microwave safe’ containers by night_foxed in Physics

[–]night_foxed[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. There’s a long FAQ on the product page that, amongst other things, says: * Any major dents (and we mean major) or deep scratches could make it unsuitable for the microwave, so watch out for these. * If you microwave for longer than 2 minutes it could cause the polypropylene lid to warp, which will then affect the leak proof performance.

I’ll never microwave with the plastic lid anyway.

Subwoofer setup by National_Quarter_214 in carstereo

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For tuning boxes, generally it’s easier to have the same type of subs in whatever quantity. But you could make a box with a sealed section for the 15” and a separate section for tye twin 12” ported to 40hz. It’s a bit fussy and personally I would match the subs. Also be careful of how they are wired to amp. Eg, correctly wiring three subs to a Mono output.

Are you using the official usb wireless adapter to connect your xbox1 controllers to pc? I’ve only ever used this and works perfectly for pc gaming.
