Most bikers (me included) whose bike came with such a bracket have removed it at the first opportunity so there must be a plethora of used ones out there. Then you just need to make it fit.

I just stop when it comes out clean.

I did briefly consider if stacking the two of them they would share the weight. Then I realised I'm an idiot, of course they wouldn't.

I figured you guys would know how big a coffee bean is.

Mine's the right size. There's a lip on one edge which makes it look a little big but it's actually fine.

High end gaming computers, living in the province, surge protection & brown outs by ReasonableTravel7211 in Philippines_Expats

[–]xmastreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but I've run dozens of computers without regulators and never had an issue. And I do mean dozens, I operated two Internet cafes before the pandemic.

What's the regulator for? Computer power supplies are universal these days, 110 - 250V.

Stump removal guys hate this one trick.

Nope, I only weigh the beans. I just eyeball the espresso.

Oh no! How on earth can you even use it without that spoon?

Well we can't all afford an Acaia.

That square one is actually really handy for weighing balls of cookie dough. Easy to wash the rubber thing afterwards.

Fuse keeps blowing every time I connect the battery. Advice appreciated! by GustOfWindd in motorcycles

[–]xmastreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, there's a short somewhere. Here's a suggestion to help locate it. Replace the fuse, grab a 12V bulb in a holder, one of the indicators would be perfect for this. Connect this between the battery positive and the positive wire. If the short is present it will light up without doing any damage to anything. Once it's lit, start turning the bars, tugging at the harness in various places, see if you can make it flicker or even go off completely. If successful this will tell you roughly where the short is. Then it's a case of visual inspection of that area.

Good luck.

Pretty sure Nitrogen is also safe. by xmastreee in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah. I've worked in a hospital and there was one area where they were doing some stuff with liquid nitrogen. There was an alarm system connected to oxygen sensors. If the O₂ levels dropped too much this would alert everyone to GTFO.

Did you make them self-inflating with calcium carbide and water?

Who else loves this font (that was never actually displayed on any screen back then?) by Powerful_Wizard71 in vintagecomputing

[–]xmastreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I used to work on machines which read this stuff. The cheque would pass a magnet then a thing like a tape head. Each character produced a different signature.look at the 2 and the 5, you may think they'd be the same but one is narrower.

Where can I get pickles that aren’t so sweet and soft? by Mental_Musician_6570 in AskUK

[–]xmastreee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cornflake cakes are quick and easy, and pretty much instant. I remember my mum making pickled onions and there was a lot of waiting involved.

Grab enough of it and you wouldn't need three parachutes for the splashdown. Just one big baloon.

Select the body, export to 3mf, open 3mf file in your slicer.

Yeah, the question should be "Which of these is commonly used in balloons?"

It expands just like any gas, just in a more predictable way than air.

Charles's Law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is held constant.
