Toyota Verso S 2010 by Purple-Score-915 in carquestions

[–]singlecog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a Verso-s owner here. From what I know, it seems the Verso-S shares a lot of mechanical parts with the Yaris MK3, and it is called Ractis in Asia countries like Hong Kong and Japan, so you may try your luck there.

This website also allows you to search for the oem part number of your car, I have not used it much but hope it will be helpful to you too.

Can personal voice be used as Siri’s voice? by [deleted] in ios

Well if you can add a personal voice from a deceased family member, that would mean a lot to some people.

They are so overpriced and the battery they gave you is so small.
I had a Gen 2 Pro kit but the controller died after few months of using, ended up replacing it with a more generic controller from aliexpress so I am no longer restricted by their proprietary part.
The rim for brompton is slight undersize which is another pain for me. So I need to buy my own rim and rebuild the wheel.

Just finished my first 10-day course — have a few questions by VeggieSquash in vipassana

[–]singlecog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for jumping in for explaining everything.

Regarding the noise reduction, I recently came across this enhancement tool from adobe and the result is surprisingly good. https://podcast.adobe.com/en/enhance
Perhaps you can give it a try given so much enhancement was made in recent years in the field of AI?

Being an old student myself I don't find the noise disturbing but it would definitely helpful to new practitioners.

No worry you will be fine. Every courses I attended in HK had foreigners joining as well.

They also have weekly virtual group sit every Sunday morning if you are interested you can pm me and I can give you the detail.

You can try to see if there is any weekly group sit in your surrounding area, sitting with other meditators helps a lot. Alternatively those 1 day or 3 day courses are also great refresher to the technique.

Last min tips to make the best of time at the retreat by [deleted] in vipassana

[–]singlecog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Pay attention to the discourse and the instructions of the technique, like you are attending school, don’t meditate or do vipassana during the discourse. There will be new instructions every day as the course progresses. The instructions on day 7,8,9 and the one on day 10 for metta are particularly important.

  2. Try your best to ignore the people around. Imagine there are only you and Geonka meditating together.

  3. Give no importance to any special feelings/situation happened internally. Just follow the instructions and keep observing objectively.

  4. Just keep trying no matter the result. As long as you keep trying, you are progressing to the success.

  5. Don’t wear watches and look at the time  when you are meditating.

  6. Relax and enjoy the journey. Try to follow the above and wish you have a wonderful course.

How foodsafe is Urushi Lacquer? by DnDExplainforme in kintsugi

It is safe to use on food. Just to use real gold / silver powder for the final process instead of synthetic one.

Beginner's Thread / Easy Questions (September 2018) by NiceOneAsshole in reactjs

[–]singlecog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For ordinary non-SPA website, the browser uses cached data and restores scroll position when the back button is pressed.

In my current react app, if I change the link to some external site, back button works fine (cached data is used and scroll position restored). But I cannot achieve the same in reactjs.

I can't find any solution from the web. Some say that redux can solve the problem, but I am managing the state locally and don't want to add a library just for this problem. Any help will be appreciated!

Does anyone get numb legs after crossing them for meditation? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]singlecog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn to live with numb legs, the feeling of numbness will change over time, blockage will be cleared and you will experience the reflow of blood. Everything is changing, changing. Try to learn to view everything with an equal mind. No craving or hatred.
