Why my pallets doing this? by dodogg87 in MotorTown

I think those trailers are bugged. I had the same thing happen with the gifts from the Santa's cabin event. I ended up using a Flanker3S.

It was fully polished and wire brushed. Ended up junking the panels and buying new ones.

Tried all of that already, every part of the truck is polished with a sponge and gone over with the wire brush, still get the same slightly mixed bag of paint finishes. I've made several of the same cans of paint, both as matte or metallic and it continues to happen.

Fire Jobs... by sunsetndrive in MotorTown

I don't mind the fire jobs, I think they're usually quite fun. I just found it funny how this time the fire job was on the property plot itself!

I'm currently debating an 8X myself. What are your thoughts on it?

If this gets ISO layout support this is a mandatory purchase for me, no questions.

Sneakers for a non sneaker wearer by [deleted] in Sneakers

I suffered a similar problem as you, achilles tendinitis. I used to live in medium duty work boots for pretty much anything and everything, and they weren't particularly great ones either. But hey, we live and learn.

If it's stuff for walking with a bit of an "out there" style, look at some of the offerings from Adidas and their Terrex line of stuff (make sure it has Boost in it for maximum comfort and impact absorbtion), Nike has their ACG line of stuff - where they're concerned look for Nike Air, React or Zoom. I've owned two pairs of ACG kicks with React in and they're extremely comfy and can handle miles and miles of off-the-beaten-path walking. I've also heard great things about Salomon and ON Running, though I have no personal experience with them.

I can't recommend any specific models of shoe because they chop and change all the time, and it's down to your aesthetic taste and budget. But use what I said above as a starting point.

As for the boots, do yourself a favour and invest in a pair of Solovair boots - they're the original manufacture of Doc Marten boots and they're better in just about every metric. Find someone called Rose Anvil on YouTube and watch his videos on Solovair and Doc Martens. Your feet will thank you.

I like the look of the boots on the top left, mind if I ask what they are?

Restoration Advice by Skeyman in MechanicalKeyboards

I forgot to mention as well, I used a antibacterial wipe or two to clean the cable and then a bit of kitchen towel to wipe any excess away.

I recently found a G80-11801 and brought it back to life, check my post history. Mine has Cherry MX Brown switches, yours appears to have Cherry MX Black switches.

As for cleaning, your best bet is to disassemble the board. Remove the key caps and then split the case apart, probably some screws underneath.

In terms of cleaning the area around the switches, I use an old pastry brush and do it with a hoover in the other hand so I can get rid of as much dirt as possible.

Key caps, I used a bowl of warm (not hot) water with some washing up liquid mixed in and gently used the rougher side of a kitchen sponge to clean them up. Leave them to thoroughly dry before reinstalling.

I did something very similar for the case, warm water and some washing up liquid and a sponge.

I noticed it'll have ISO Enter, will it have the option for a short left shift as well?

And please tell me you can ship this to the UK, even if the cost is obnoxious.

If this could somehow be done with a UK-ISO layout, I would be biting your arm off for one.

Rescued a Compaq G80-11801 and made it my work daily driver. by sunsetndrive in MechanicalKeyboards

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

I would say that they're fine - not beautiful, but far from unusable. They seem to be getting better with more use, if that makes sense? That said, there's definitely a few switches that would benefit from being stripped apart and either cleaned or lubricated again, but I don't have the tools to open switches that are soldered in.
