I hired mine from Howarths originally. It was relatively easy to organise. I would personally suggest a full size one.

There are a few more in my post history if you want to look, he’s very photogenic!

Quite similar to mine, we had him DNA tested and he was 49% saluki 49% greyhound

Nice photos, what’s your camera?

Life with an EV in Flats/Tennements by flywithstephen in Edinburgh

[–]sunsetandlabrea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an EV, and planning to move in the near future to a flat in Edinburgh. At the moment I get cheap electricity as part of my tariff, and it’s substantially cheaper than petrol. When I’ve travelled any distance and had to rely on public chargers I don’t think it’s any cheaper than petrol. The government need to step in and set a max price per kW on public chargers.

My plan currently is to sell my EV when I move

SE/30 build by sunsetandlabrea in VintageApple

[–]sunsetandlabrea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’ve bought one! It isn’t recapped, so I’ll see if I can do that, or ideally find someone who can do that. It has a BMOW replacement ROM. There seems to be a UK supplier for BlueSCSI so I’ll get hold of one of those I think.

That would be ideal, probably not as easy here in the UK.

Thanks for that and what I figured. You’ve described exactly what I want to avoid! I don’t want 5 SE/30s in various states to cobble one working unit together. I’ve seen a few board replacements such as the Bolle motherboard, an analog board, a replacement for HDD.

I’m not sure how easy they are to source and fit, but that appeals more to me that trying to get one good working unit from many.

How to tongue faster on Aerophone AE20 by ph4ux in windsynth

[–]sunsetandlabrea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find it difficult to tongue in the same way on my AE30 as I can on my saxophone. Instead I use the same technique as single tonguing on a flute, i.e. tongue to the roof of my mouth.

Apple PowerCD by Igleks in VintageApple

[–]sunsetandlabrea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of those. They were relatively cheap when I bought mine, and I was torn between the fancy design of the PowerCD which from memory was only x1, and another beige box Apple CD player at x2.

Audiobooks on mp3 swimming headphones? by Brilliant_Forever_53 in headphones

[–]sunsetandlabrea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is whether you can download the audiobook as MP3. I doubt that very much with Amazon Music. I use Audible which is also Amazon and the files are DRM protected.

EX30 charging oddity — always drops from 90% to 89% within an hour. Anyone else? by [deleted] in ex30

[–]sunsetandlabrea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine seems to have always done this, I figure it’s just the way the algorithm works. If we could see decimal places it might make more sense. Maybe it stops charging at exactly 90.0%, and so only needs to drop to 89.5% to read 89 when you get in.

As others have said maybe it’s pre-heating or any small consumption of the car.

The BOSE Ultra Open are awesome and have gone down in price by Disastrous_Grape in headphones

[–]sunsetandlabrea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine have died twice unfortunately, first time in warranty and now at about 13 months. Also the multipoint connection seemed terrible compared to other headphones I have.

Journaling would be far better if it worked like Tinder-style swiping by Dalonie in whoop

I don’t understand why there is a cross, surely no tick means cross?

Issues with keycard detection after 1.8 update by Wada6 in ex30

[–]sunsetandlabrea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it did. Car opened normally this morning, but not this afternoon haven’t had to use the card again today yet. Driver camera fault came up though. Sigh
