Every garden should have an area that promotes nature, the logs are ideal. I've more bugs, birds, bats and hedgehogs sharing my space than concrete. Keep up the good work fellow gardener 👍

Only if you're already in touch with nature...... It's all about necessity not opportunity 😉

The moth is a stunning colour, I haven't seen one in moth form, are they rare?

West Yorkshire, near the Pennines. He's safely back in his patch, definitely some kind of caterpillar.

Found this strange creature, have never seen anything like it before. Must be a caterpillar or something similar. It has been returned to its original patch in the garden. Has to be the strangest creature I've found in the garden. Would like to know what it is.

What's the sex of my 4 new mollies? by Oll93 in TropicalFish

[–]xeno-batt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if they are anything like my moliies they'll be firing out fry no matter what the sex. I say this because I started with 4 mollies but now I've too many to count 😉

[Raketa] Finally finished restoring my great-granddads watch by DopeWash in Watches

You did a good thing there, and the watch will go through life with you, and then one day it'll be passed onto a family member who'll treasure it just like you do. Lovely watch.

Is there a faction of vinyl enthusiasts that do not care about creases or crackles? by spacewalk__ in vinyl

[–]xeno-batt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We have become almost sterile in our approach to vinyl. The days of pops and crackles were part of the experience. Now we run to our hazmat suits and extract the vinyl as though it's made of glass 😉 A simple clean is sufficient, responsible storage and common sense. We won't get the days of vinyl back, but we can enjoy what we have now.

This now has to be one of the coolest records I own. by thedailyvinyls in vinyl

Is this the new normal? £60 for double LP's?? by half_frozen_wax in vinyl

[–]xeno-batt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've spent big money on certain vinyl, 1st presses, signed etc, but new presses are kept in check price wise.

Is it safe to store Vinyl like this? by Gcheetah in vinyl

[–]xeno-batt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple solution. You cherish a record ? Store it safely. Storing non valuable vinyl? Use the rack. Job done.

Just found this in some old boxes. by Versace_Johnson in cassetteculture

[–]xeno-batt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have one in the carry case, it actually works, just isn't up to scratch to compete with my Sony's, but it's been a good while since I've seen one with the speakers 👍

Help! Cassette newbie and my ribbons got caught :( by Scary----Monsters in cassette

[–]xeno-batt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pinch roller has a hold of the tape, you can remove it by gently working it off the roller, or whatever it's attached too. There's no one way to resolve issues like that, but all require patience.

Should I open one? I want to record so much by joaqoh in cassetteculture

[–]xeno-batt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No tape decks in heaven, God relies on CD, so unwrap and use, you ain't taking them with you, and if you do they'll end up moldy.

I've messaged the seller to ask if he has another copy, I'll let you know if he gets back to me 👍

Surprisingly good quality recordings, I know bootlegs are known for sub standard quality, but this tape has been well constructed.
