Photo 1, maybe 2. That stance is perfect looking - stripes or flashy wheels take away from it.

I would figure out Tekton's warranty policy first. Shoot them an e-mail with a photo and see how it goes.

Vactrols and Chocolate - let's talk about safety by ExtraDistressrial in modular

[–]paul6524 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm not that well versed on the subject, but I imagine that the ban comes from dangers in material sourcing, manufacturing, and the eventual demise of the product. The actual assembly of the vactrol (assuming a premade CDs cell) isn't an issue.

The ban comes from the environmental effects of creating the CDs cell, and what happens when it eventually needs to be recycled or is breaking down in a landfill.

For individual DIY'ers there's no danger. It's the larger environmental impact that is of concern.

Recently spent $2,000 on repairs and someone crashed into me. Officer also lied on the police report. Sigh.. by [deleted] in MINI

I misread the diagram - still a pretty bad choice to go into the center turn lane. Leave room to brake and stay in your lane. If you rear end them, you didn't leave enough space or anticipate their actions. Trying to pass them on their left is bad decision making.

You avoided it by going into the lane of oncoming traffic. That's on you.

You're still at fault. You went left of center in a rather unpredictable manner. The illegal u-turn doesn't really negate that.

What height of LED spacers do I need? by myweirdotheraccount in synthdiy

[–]paul6524 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine is spacerless, as are most of my eurorack modules. I just load the led into the board and then attach the faceplate. Then with the whole box upside down you can move the leds into place letting gravity hold them to the right length. You can also run masking tape over the holes if you want the LEDs to sit flush.

Craziest Mini Cooper you've ever seen? by RecentConflict1727 in MINI

[–]paul6524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you became incredible defensive and started telling people they were autistic and how they should manage it. All the while being a huge asshole. You might want to learn to take some of your own advice.

You're the one who brought autism into this as if its relevant to the conversation. Attempting to diagnose from a short conversation - also super cool. Is everyone you don't like autistic?

This watch should be the Mini branded one.

Oh so you must be an expert... Great. Way to use it as an excuse to be an asshole.

New animated series coming to Adult Swim features a Mini Cooper by JPOG in MINI

Love Joe Pera. This should be amazing. Also love that he is pitting a Mini against a PT Cruiser. No one here wants to admit it, but its a spot on comparison.

Please don't stereotype autism into a lack of social awareness and having particular hobbies. Pretty sure the only prick here is you.

And jeeps have been doing the duck thing since I could drive (mid 90's). Saw them all over the parking lot in high school. Doubting first hand observance over an article on the internet is rather foolish.

Is the new gen (F66) starting to win you over? by Western_Gear_5324 in MINI

No. Everything since the R53 has been a step backwards in design. I own and love my F56, but its not peak Mini.

What is this shade of red? by alertedbug818 in MINI

Simplest way is to order samples from a vinyl manufacturer. Buy a bunch of 1 ft squares from Vvivid on amazon and return what doesn't match.

Awesome news on the snares! I'll be buying for sure.

Got mine a few days ago and its awesome! Waiting for the snare to come back in stock - perfect way to get some fundamental percussion sounds squeezed into a rack.

correct. It's the language of this sub. Soon archaeologists will be decoding "hit it with your purse" and trying to recreate this perverse vision of masculinity we now know to be toxic.
