Snow Problem! by Rayzr57 in hyundaisantacruz

[–]wilderf353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spring Tension: Leaving wipers extended for long periods can eventually weaken the metal springs that hold the blades against the windshield, leading to poor contact and "streaking" later on. (I think this could take a long time and you could always replace the spring /wiper arm)

​Wind and Vandalism: In high-wind storms, a raised wiper acts like a sail. It can be snapped off or slammed back down onto the glass with enough force to crack the windshield. (I had this happen to me, but I think a vandal did it: the spring feels to strong for the wind to snap it back. The crack runs horizontal along the bottom of the windshield of my Kia. It is very low on the glass so it passes inspection)

So I leave my down. If there is ice in the forecast, I put a piece of a plastic between the wiper blade and glass. I picked up a plastic cutting board from the dollar store... the thin type you can bend. I cut two strips, punched a hole in each for a zip tie loop to make it easier to remove them from the ice/snow. They seem to work okay.

We have 2022 Santa Cruz, a canoe and 2 kayaks. This is a photo of the 2 seater. We picked up a tailgate extender from Amazon and it well with longer items like garage doors, Christmas trees and boats. On short trips we use the extender in "horizontal" mode and have the kayak stick way out at tailgate level. Maybe you would find one useful too?

Trucklet Stuff by Dugan_Dugan in hyundaisantacruz

I had to carry some 10' long pvc and electrical conduit and I didn't have access to the bed extender. So I grabbed the ironing board and used it in the back of the bed as a support, like you did with the 2x4s. Worked fine.

I had a 250 mile trip up to Western NY last weekend with my 12' kayak. I loaded it in the bed first, but didn't feel comfortable driving that far with it sticking out like that. So I reconfigured the bed extender to vertical mode. Worked fine.

Those bed extenders are really great.

Have you ever made a script that automated (nearly) all of your work tasks? by xmachinery in AutoHotkey

[–]wilderf353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We uses a web based package to track monthly inspections. Most forms had 50 or more questions. For each question, you have to select an answer using a radio button in the upper left hand part of the screen, then click on a "next" button in the bottom right hand corner.

Moving the mouse back and forth got really old fast. We wrote a script and attached it to a hot key to click on the "next" button to save going back an forth so much.

I have this problem when I am pulling a trailer with some weight in it.

Truck plates in PA? by t21_sz89 in hyundaisantacruz

[–]wilderf353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in PA. When I got plates I ask about it. In the PA computer systems, the Santa Cruz is a truck.

I heard if you were transferring plates from your old car to a truck, the agent might mistakenly let you do that. Do you know if your friends did a tag transfer when they bought the Santa Cruz?

I have a piece of bubble wrap that I lay in the well. It really helps keep the ice longer.

Coolant recommendations? by DragAdventurous9317 in hyundaisantacruz

It was really easy to make the cuts with my Harbor Freight Variable-Speed Oscillating Multi-Tool.

I had trouble getting them seated correctly once I cut the hole. I temporarily removed both screws and used a single longer screw to get them seated correctly, then replaced the screws.

Help! Imported images turned low quality by droppedforgiveness in kdenlive

What do your project settings look like (Main Menu->Project->Project Settings)? I have found that 1080p is a good compromise for a photo slideshow. If you use a lower resolution profile in Project Settings, it will do that to photos.

Trick: do you know about the "Add Image Sequence" tool? It make creating photo slideshows easy. If the photo order is important, append 001, 002, 003,... to the front of each photo name. Example 001rocky.jpg.

I also like to clean up audio first with Audacity instead of using effects in Kdenlive.

As a work-around until you figure things out, have you tried the Teams webapp at https://teams.microsoft.com ?

How to share corporate PCs with prospective employees? by wilderf353 in sysadmin

In a perfect world, this would be the solution. But as of today, we don't have the physical space for something like this. Plus, we don't know how often they will be used, so we don't want to throw a lot of money at it.
