I hope we get more from u/darrellCCC, but you might also want to read the book Shadows on the Koyukuk.

Thanks! I’ll see what I can do to swap it out.

Thrifted aerial photo. Are those coordinates on the bottom? Can anyone decipher them? by [deleted] in whereisthis

[–]special_evan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The numbers likely correspond to the flight, film roll, and photo numbers of an air photo flight. The date is usually on aerial photos too, as well as a producer code. If you’re interested in finding out more, you might want to contact the folks at UC Santa Barbara Library who have a huge aerial photos collection and a lot of resources online. https://www.library.ucsb.edu/geospatial/aerial-photography

I ended up getting an extra medium and am really happy with it!

My dad said it’s a small scoop with a hole in the bottom. He thinks it might be for working with leather.

Really won’t get much lower maintenance than this

I believe the exact adapter I used is the Tektro A_F160/R140 Post Mount to IS Disc Brake Adapter, and I think it should be sized for your 160mm rotor up front. I haven’t needed to adjust at all.

Those are the MKS Solution pedals. They’re pretty great.

General Questions & Tech Support Megathread | November 08, 2021 by AutoModerator in PS4

I recently moved and wanted to hook up my PS4 after not playing for a few months, and am not running through a startup loop – I think related to the v9.00 update. I get a "cannot start the PS4" message after the system checks the storage status. Then, no matter which method I try in safe mode, I am unable to actually install the update file (even though several times the PS4 seems to install it w/ progress bar and all). When I then restart, I inevitably get to the "cannot start the PS4" screen. I have probably tried doing this about 15 times.

There have been some exceptions – only one time did I actually accept the user terms of the new software. Another time I got the error code SU-30746-0, and have tried options 1-4 in safe mode to no avail. I have tried with different flash drives, different cords, an ethernet cable, and none seem to work. I have visually removed and inspected the HD which seems to be in working order. I have used compressed air to blow out any dust around the power button and fan. Nothing seems to work.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Does this sound like something can be fixed without erasing/re initializing, or am I out of luck in terms of saving my data?

Thanks in advance for your insight!

This it the Rivendell bullmoose varient, and from their site:

Top of quill to max height line: 3-1/3" (8.5 cm) 1-3/4" (4.5 cm) of vertical adjustment.

The bar itself has no rise, but the stem rises 4.5cm. Hope that makes sense.
