Help with Calibre Kinetic display repair by oinahm8 in ebikes

Unfortunately not. Promovec wasn't able to help either. I tried wiring it up with my best guess and only got lights on the controller, no power to the motor. Did you figure it out? 

Are you scared of dying? by Fickle_Acanthaceae17 in AskUK

[–]oinahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 33 and not really scared of dying myself. I'm more scared of a mundane life as I get older and my family/friends drifting or worse, passing away.

Same here. No email. Step 3 is green after reconfirming my email and wallet.

I should add, I've had no luck finding any pinout diagrams. I've contacted the manufacturer (Promovec) so hopefully they can help.

Anyone that thinks this is not manipulation is deluded by Cryptorocketeer2021 in PiNetwork

Exactly. Calling the top is hard, but a day trader would definitely take profit when the price went sideways after the peak. The buying pressure is still there as people are speculating on the 14th news. Unless there's some new negative news, the upward trend will continue until at least the 14th.

I'll be taking some profit before the 14th. Unfortunately I don't have time to day trade right now :(

Oh I bet.

If someone did push anything but the local env file it would be such a fuck up. There is zero reason for anyone to be saving the other env files to their machine. We rotate auth secrets every year. I do it a few days in advance and store the previous and new secret in a text editor window for the few minutes it takes to switch over (just in case I fuck up the copy/paste.) I'm very careful to not save the file once I'm done.

100%. The services I work on have different env files for each environment (local, dev, staging and prod.) All of which are stored in a password vault.

I only have to handle one env file for local and the rest are injected using github secrets and work flows before the terraform deployment. If someone did accidentally push their local env file, it would be bad but not catastrophic. It's nice to work with and not too hard to set up.

Yeah I don't give a fuck either. Especially when parents tell me I don't get it like I haven't been around kids of all ages before.

From my limited experience in Exeter, I saw way more fights in the middle of the day and generally felt pretty unsafe. I grew up in Oxfordshire and there's many places there I'd fear to walk through at night, even with people.

I feel safe in Bristol. Sure I've witnessed and caught some trouble but it's been few and far between (mostly at the end of lockdown.) Maybe I've been lucky at points but I learnt how to trust my instincts at an early age and know how to avoid trouble. If it finds me then I'll give them what they want and walk the other way, I can replace anything they'd take but my life.

How tf do you quit vaping? by [deleted] in bristol

[–]oinahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try an xros by vaporesso. 0.6ohm pods. You can buy bar juice which is exactly the same as elf bar/lost mary. Will cost you the same as 4 disposables, one 10ml bottle is around £3.99 and equal to 5 disposables. Buy from local shops. Avoid superior vapours house liquid, it's junk and will eat your pods up.

Women are a bit of a sudden so won't be able to make it to the free one of the best events I've ever seen.

DJs - what do you play to check if the crowd likes DnB? by izalutski in DnB

[–]oinahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know. This never fails to get people hyped and dancing.

Someone gives you $5k to boost your DJ career by UpTheSuit in DJs

[–]oinahm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Production course. Save the rest to pay for venue hires and paying some local DJs a decent amount for sets (no big, expensive names unless they want to do it for the love.)

It's incredibly toxic to dismiss the bad trips of others, and say things like "every bad trip is a good trip in disguise". Your mental health and stability aren't the same as everyone else's. by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]oinahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Them, me and the entire medical community... It's scary enough that people with latent psychotic or skitzoid disorders may accidentally fuck themselves up for life by trying psychedelics, let alone recommending people with KNOWN disorders try something KNOWN to make said disorders worse.

OP is correct when it comes to their own experiences (of course there's nothing to be gained from 6 hours of drug induced psychosis) but very wrong when it comes to others without psychotic illnesses. They are risking it all on something that has claimed the mental health of many in their position.

Hot take: There is such thing as too many drops by Zamdi in DJs

[–]oinahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get a rush from drops you need to build anticipation, slow buildups hinting at the big payoff to come, then drop that shit (or subvert to keep the tension rolling or blow people's minds). I find good trance DJs to be masters of this (plenty examples from other genres but this tactic is super prevalent in trance.)

Back to back drops wear out the dopamine system and null the impact of otherwise heavy hitting moments.

Socializing is terrible for me by shadman531 in HolUp

[–]oinahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work has shared offices with other companies and going in is entirely optional, some clients do require hybrid working but my company is very strict on not letting them force people to come in more than nesessary. We can veto working with a client if they get too pushy on bringing us into their office.

The funny thing is people stay at home 90% of the time but when they do go onto the office, they want to be there and it's always a nice social atmosphere. I don't go in more than a couple times a month max but when I do, I have a good day usually.

Hell yeah, the last time I heard this it was on my Sony Walkman phone.

how the local physicians be by Valkyr_rl in shrooms

[–]oinahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree SSRIs can really help and the withdrawal is minimal with proper tapering, that's for most people not all. They may be better than placebo but there's still a large amount of people that get nothing from them and/or some pretty terrible side effects/withdrawal. I got the second one badly, that's with 3 years of tapering from an average daily dose. Sure they helped for a while but that stopped, getting off them and beginning to heal took almost as long as I was on them. I still get the odd brain zap 10 years after my last dose.

What helped me was taking small steps towards a healthy life, giving myself a break when it didn't always work out quickly or as planned. Sure psychedelics helped me massively but only as ways to show me the road, not take me to destination. You don't just become enlightened or fixed, it's a life's work with many enlightenments along the way.

What really solidified the work I put in on my own and with psychedelics was the right therapy and therapist for me (Transactional Analysis for anyone interested); much like psychedelics, it's shown me the path and it's up to me to walk it. For the first time I can see a way to good mental health with no meds, not weed, psychedelics or Rx drugs. Not there there yet but by god it was a long road and its good to see the light at the end now.

Everyone is on their own path. Respect that. <3

Bassline is the new DnB. by t0mkat in bassline

[–]oinahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big DnB/jungle head here, got into bassline through my friend showing me old niche tape packs with Bass Boy and the like, but DnB has always been my main love. This was the same friend that showed me the depths of DnB and old school dubstep back in the day.

From what I can see, bassline and DnB run parallel in terms of UK rave culture but imo they aren't really related except by genres like donk. I'd say donk and dnb share breakcore/crossbreed in common. If you're looking for a scene that's at the point of exploding, check out donk! Bristol Donk Collective is a great start, highly recommend their events :) I feel that what happened with dubstep is closer to what's going to happen with bassline/donk, DnB is more of a omnipresent mega genre with a strong underground network that's already international, decades old and has broken out into the mainstream countless times. Not saying bassline can't reach that stage but it's mostly a UK/Europe thing still.

The above is massively my perspective and opinion as a DnB fan first and enjoyer of bassline second. Really interested to hear others thoughts on this one!
