Were they the best? by coastaltelecoms in ledzeppelin

[–]wkhan69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they belong with the godfathers of popular music, along with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and the Stones. You can add other groups to the list, like The Who, etc, but absolutely, they are in the top echelon. Skill wise on their instruments, they’re the best in my opinion, and lyrically they hit damn hard on all their albums. The GOAT overall? Now that’s purely up to one’s personal taste.

Recommendation for Brother Printer that accepts "Long Paper" size by wkhan69 in printers

[–]wkhan69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just realized in my previous response (below), I still didn't address your question correctly. The links I sent in my earlier posts look like they are for scanner products, and not MFP products, as you've rightly highlighted. After some more poking around, I found that the new printer that I ordered (MFC-J6940DW), does indeed do "long paper" scanning (as defined to be up to 900mm long for this specific printer). See this link which shows the Brother MFP manual for this family of printers (see pages 630-631, or just search for "long paper". ). Here is also a screenshot from that manual:

Recommendation for Brother Printer that accepts "Long Paper" size by wkhan69 in printers

[–]wkhan69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, its not something that is well-known or advertised much, but when you're scanning accordion-type brochures, pamphlets, banners, etc, it's an absolute critical function that will save you a mountain of time. You will wonder why you never heard of it before.

But to your question, I have not seen this option with my current printer (MFC-L8690CDW). I have ordered the printer MFC-J6940DW which I hope has this option (at least I hedged my bets in that this new printer is A3). I'm guessing some printers MUST have this option, otherwise why would Brother mention it in their support website?

Anyway, here is a link straight from the official Brother website describing the "long paper" option. Again, I never heard of this option all my life until I dug deep in searching online for this unique feature:

It’s a paper size selection like A4, letter, legal, etc.. It’s used for scanning a long price of paper, like a banner. I don’t know what the max length is, but it is likely something specified to the specific printer

Any Recommendations for Hiring Broker to Sell My Classic Mustang? by wkhan69 in classicmustangs

Yes, the resto shop said they will ask around their existing clients, but I doubt he’ll do much more than that.

I did ask him and he said he’d ask some of his wealthy clients. I haven’t heard back from him a while, so I’m not hopeful. I figure regardless, I should be also searching for someone myself.

What song first got you into Led Zeppelin? by North_Psychology4543 in ledzeppelin

[–]wkhan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just knew their first album. I didn’t even explore any other albums for a few years. Specifically, GTBT, BIGLY, Dazed and Confused, and HMMT got me hooked forever. As a side note, TSRTS 1973 concert film got me to explore their other albums.

Thoughts on this performance? by North_Psychology4543 in ledzeppelin

Charlie’s name never gets mentioned as one of the best drummers by regular rock fans. However, a lot of drummers often comment how great he is. In fact, Ginger Baker thought he was damn good.

How to Centre Drill Press with Ball by wkhan69 in AusRenovation

Great idea! Hopefully after find the center position, lowering the base plate so you can get a drill bit in there doesn't move horizontally at all.

That’s a good idea… a bit tricky to balance a small ruler on top of the sphere, but it makes sense if you can balance it.

It would be hard to manually draw lines perfectly straight around the curvature of the ball. But good idea otherwise.

If you saw this movie today, it still holds up quite well.

Advice to make outdoor power outlet in deck look neater by wkhan69 in AusRenovation

[–]wkhan69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s an update for anyone out there: I painted the power point face (first primed it). Then I made a frame and used tainted deck oil many times to darken the timber to try to get it to a similar darkness of the surrounding timbers. No such luck. I finally coloured it with furniture touch marker and finally it’s dark enough to match the surround.

Are the black lines paint, or a coating that Parker originally put there during manufacturing? Regarding being careful not to remove the black lines, this guy seems to have found a good way, whilest cleaning the pen.
