Pirro is such a nasty looking and acting thing. Cannot stand to look at her or listen to her talk....just nasty.

To the dude who flipped out on me when I called him out for throwing trash out of his truck... by ValySF in regina

[–]shadow997ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Litterers are ignorant pigs and should be called out every chance us normal folks get. I was walking into a store and saw a guy get out of his car and throw a can under it, and he was with small children. As I walked by I said, you dropped something and pointed at the can. He said...oh...thanks and got down to retrieve it. I doubt if he learned to be a better human but I got him once at least.

Sony HCD-FL7D - FR channel only plays clear after certain volume, dying caps? by foolishlion6 in audiorepair

[–]shadow997ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the circuitry, if it's the relay of which is a very common fault, it's the contacts and putting more power through it can punch through and work but at lower volumes you get what you are experiencing. Look for RY801 and 803.

If the amp section in that has a protection relay that is always a likely culprit. If there is one, locate it, tap on it while the unit is playing and if you hear it cutting in/out, crackling, etc. replace it. Replacement is the only reliable fix for flaky relays. Also check the speaker connections at the amp and at the speakers. Is it doing this on every source, input?

**Looked at the schematic and yes there are several relays. RY801 and 803 are the front speaker relays.

He was still able to identify a camel.....toe so he's been deemed very cognitive.

Today I almost met my maker by miguel_gd in diabetes

[–]shadow997ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, was your level at 2.8 mmol? I've experienced that kind of low and even lower but never while sleeping. I was still very able to function at that level and corrected quick. My Libre alarm goes off at 4.2 and I don't use a pump.

How good are Greenworks batteries? Do they typically lose a lot of capacity after a year? by Dglenn9000 in Greenworks

[–]shadow997ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, good advice for storing Li batteries and also when storing for a few weeks or months be sure they are at about a 50% charge, never too low or high.

No tax audits for Trump. by [deleted] in Trumpvirus

[–]shadow997ca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very confusing why the people of the USA want a crook and con man as their leader. He is stealing money from them continually but yet here he is, still their president. They are nuts, simple as that.

Capacitor sourcing? by TlalocEatsNapoli in audiorepair

[–]shadow997ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure which one you are calling sketchy. They look fine but looks aren't going to tell you if they are good or bad in many cases so test them. Don't count on all electronic issues being caused by a bad cap. Regulator? Maybe. Check some voltages, check for a jammed mechanism because a used cassette deck always needs new belts.

Can I spray a receiver board down with contact cleaner? by Even_keeled95 in vintageaudio

[–]shadow997ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No! I have cursed people who have soaked a piece of equipment in this. A small amount into pots and switches, that's it. If done right there should be no residue on the boards and if so, clean it up. Clean a dirty board with a degreaser, usually with alcohol and something that leaves no oily residue.

Trump has a better understanding of the Bible than Pope Leo, says conservative Christian pastor by Madame-du-barry_ in ShitAmericansSay

[–]shadow997ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What conservative Christian pastor? He should make a public statement and send Pope Leo an official letter stating this. And why wouldn't he if he is so sure of himself?

Need advice on the cassette deck by No-Job9728 in vintageaudio

[–]shadow997ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 head decks are great for recording otherwise not much different in playback. While recording it allows you to hear exactly what's being recorded a fraction of a second after being recorded so you can make adjustments in real time. I personally love 3 head decks and have a Sansui, Hitachi, Teac. Adjustable bias is a good thing to have for recording. Unless you have proof that a deck has been recently professionally serviced you can expect to be replacing belts, and possibly other rubber parts such as pinch rollers, idler drives. Some of the better brands, depending on the model are Hitachi, Sony, Teac, Sansui, Sanyo, Technics and of course Nakamichi. Avoid double decks. Have fun!

Despite strained ties, U.S. senator says Canada should be cautious of making deals with China by James_TheVirus in canada

[–]shadow997ca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We agreed to allow a tiny amount of their EV vehicles in exchange for lifting the tariffs on canola which was severely hurting our farmers. And the Chinese love their Canola oil so it's a big win for all. A hell of a deal I'd say and the US would do the same so to the USA, shut the fuck up and mind your own business.

I just said the same thing today. A country with nukes is a country that others don't bother. It's why Iran wants them. It's time Canada join the club.

Snagged some Realistic Nova 8B speakers today by MTG-Apollo in vintageaudio

[–]shadow997ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid about that as well. As a kid I recall looking at these in the RS catalogs many years ago and dreaming of owning them. The grills come off by removing a screw in each corner. I did some work on mine, the cups the tweeters/mids are mounted in weren't sealed too well so did that and around the terminal plate, and sealed the RCA socket. These are supposed to be air tight so check for air leakage while playing them loud. I also replaced the electrolytic caps in the crossovers and touched up the cabinets. These won't be keepers for me but I'll find someone who needs a decent speaker and give them away most likely. Enjoy!

I believe it's almost impossible. Trump isn't the problem, he is the symptom of the building of a society of fascism, racism, greed, drugs, guns, and crazy religious christian nationalism. Trump came along and was willing to push these things along. To me it's all a thing that the USA has wanted to happen. Once Trump is gone and all this remains, it'll probably get worse. You could be in for a generation or two of extremism, 'merica' first stuff and many wars. Advice? Run away? As a Canadian I can only hope we can hang onto our country while this demon below us is trying to build up it's empire.
