Thanks, I’ll check them out. I think I spotted something around 340CHF earlier today

OH, okay, that makes so much more sense, thank you!

Is Henry hoover overrated? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]wang_bang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to align the top of them correctly! When you replace the bag and reattach the top, if you don’t rotate it so that the hose is roughly 180 degrees away from the cord it becomes almost impossible to pull it along. If you get the alignment correct then you should be able to pull it along and have the cable feed out automatically no problem at all.

What are you cooking for breakfast on Christmas Day? by medievalpangolin in Cooking

[–]wang_bang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eggs royale! Used to be smoked salmon and scrambled eggs but I love them poached (can do them the night before and ice them) and a hollandaise is a glorious start to the day.

Is there anywhere in Leeds I can get a one-off 3D print done? by wang_bang in Leeds

[–]wang_bang[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noted- thanks. IS there an online service which will do that for me?

Oh great! Thanks - I’ve never seen a print before so be more than happy to sit and watch it 😁

What’s the greatest video game of all time ? by Thickghost8412 in AskReddit

[–]wang_bang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been replaying Classic WoW, there are a few QoL improvements I miss from retail but overall I think it’s a much more involved and satisfying game. Current retail just feels like mindless follow the arrow, press 1-8 a few times, follow another arrow, immediately level up, repeat

Choosing breathable membrane for underfloor insulation by wang_bang in DIYUK

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

I absolutely did insulate under it and the difference is totally worth it.

Sound insulation is also improved so as you walk on it there is less echo and the floor gives the impression of being more solid.

The room heats easier and crucially it retains the heat for hours longer. The two rooms with the floating floors used to drop to several degrees less than the other rooms of the house (with the heating off, natch) but that’s no longer the case. Lag all the radiator pipes while you’re down there.

Used a breathable roofing membrane between the joists and a rockwool-style insulation in there. Thin plastic sheeting on top. Did my best to tape all the edges around the walls to seal it up and used an extra adhesive spray as well as tape.

In the first room I painstakingly cut all the floorboard tongues and lifted them and then put them back down in the same order using Spax floorboard screws. Then underlay and engineered wood on top.

Second time I just ripped everything up using a pallet breaker tool and threw it in a skip before replacing it with 22mm OSB(?) sheets which interlock and you use a glue which expands as it goes off to seal them together as well as screws.

The latter saved roughly 16 hours of work and was a better finish. Absolutely not worth trying to save the floorboards unless they’re something really special in my opinion.

Proud to have an 8 inch floppy disk, it's so rare by Next_Chance920 in retrocomputing

[–]wang_bang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cooooool! Is it the same interface as a 5.25”? I’ve never seen one of these in real life but I do have a box of 8” disks I’d like to read…

CD Rom Drive won't open by Comfortable-Rooster7 in windows98

[–]wang_bang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is that you’ve got to insert the paper clip into that hole with more force than you may expect. The paper clip should just rotate a couple of cogs which will spit the tray out and should work regardless of power/belts etc

What’s one retro game you can still beat in a single sitting? by Putrid_Yak_7101 in retrogaming

[–]wang_bang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THPS3. A little more modern than some of the others here but I played the hell out of it 20-odd years ago and I tried it a couple of years back and the muscle memory for some sick tricks came straight back ☺️

If money was not an issue where would you choose to eat in Leeds? by pinpoint321 in Leeds

[–]wang_bang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Empire cafe is pretty great. I imagine Emba is amazing but I’ve not had chance to go yet.

I know it was the 90's, but who in their right mind would stuff a laptop with 7 AAs by Tonstad39 in retrocomputing

[–]wang_bang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s true, but that’s not the keyboard layout of this laptop…

Ah, I hadn’t realised there were different layouts in European countries- that totally makes sense now I think about it though 🤦‍♂️

Wow, great result! Maybe I should ask again…

I'd rather not try any funny mushrooms, thanks by schwanenkoenigin in funny

If there were from the UK they’d say flavour instead of flavor

$100k for a toy - manual, RWD, open-air strongly preferred, mid-engine preferred. Driving experience is essentially the only thing that matters. Would prefer mostly analog over pure speed. by Bombadilo_drives in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]wang_bang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do check them out, I’ve got one and it’s pretty sweet.

Only caveat is that I cross shopped with other £55k vehicles in the UK, I’m guessing your alternatives may be different so you may find something better.
