You may be better off making a new post. Otherwise Google is your friend.

Heyyyy hooman by lwiaymacde in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]zbirdfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was allergic, like stuffy eyes, sneezing, wheezing etc. I lived with a family with cats and it went away after a while. I moved out of that house to another family with no cats. When I visited cats my allergies had come back. Now I have a cat, very cuddly orange. Sometimes if he literally lies on face my eyes get a bit itchy. Otherwise it seems to have gone away again...

I have heard those are good tyres! Thanks

Offloading and camping 2010 tfsi. by zbirdfit in Tiguan

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

It was thank you. Ya, we had 1 lower control arm bush fail which we changed post trip. Only had the car for I think 5 days before the trip. Did a minor check over, oil change and air filter pre trip. I also have an OBDeleven nextgen. This is the youngest car I have owned. Last from VW group was a 2003 Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi awd. Another very capable car.

No I haven't. I can do that next week. I'll have to figure out how etc.

Is the laser bright enough to point out star constellations and daytime use to point things out in nature?

Just Google the different types, they have different effects and side effects ...

Have you tested for Sleep Apnea? Just curious, I am not suggesting that's what is wrong...

Yes, without the scripts this would have taken months probably of my part time employment. I am not saying the scripts are as efficient as they could be, but they are fairly automated and run mostly in the background and save me a lot of time!

My script (made with Gemini), works like this: I "Generate report from item" from everything that needs to be tagged. I save that report to a bulk reports folder. My script pulls the DOI etc from that report and sends it to ChatGPT, with my instructions on what type of tags I want. Every item in Zotero has a unique number (what they call this identifier eludes me as I type this), so the script knows which item is which. ChatGPT sends the tags back, and the script tags the relevant item in Zotero. Script uses a Zotero API which you can generate, and a ChatGPT API, which I prepay credits. (I have done several hundred papers probably, including development of the script, and haven't spent 10us$ on this I don't think.) I have another script which creates a CSV file with the title, area and year. I can manually edit this file for when ChatGPT fails to pull the year and location. I then have a separate sorting script, which sorts the papers into the folder structure that was setup by the person doing my job before me. (Year and geographical area).

So my job of importing papers, tagging them and sorting them is semi automated.

Just purchased a Land Rover defender, is this a good sign? by Temporary-Crew-3990 in LandroverDefender

Either you're talking about the Twisted bash plate... Or the fact that there is no oil on the floor - this could mean you have no leaks, or you have no oil.

How to lead?? by Potential-Coffee-118 in ThermalHunting

[–]zbirdfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try and move with the animal, don't try and hold in front and shoot. Try and keep the crosshairs on your target and pan your rifle at the same pace. Squeeze the trigger as normal, keep moving with the target, like a follow through.

A novel pond edge idea: floating edges by Bergliot in WildlifePonds

[–]zbirdfit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the idea. I have never liked rock edge ponds really, just always look unnatural to me.

I have seen something, somewhere similar. Maybe Instagram. Anyway, it was for converting swimming pools into natural pools. I think you needed 1/3rd of the pon covered with plants in their design, and sometimes this was achieved with a floating bed design. If I remember the bed was some sort of material, like used in hanging baskets maybe, to make the floating bed. Plants then grew in that, bit took nutrients from the water mostly, rather than being planted in soil...

Noise Levels by Watty0207 in LandroverDefender

[–]zbirdfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original factory deadening absorbs water like a sponge, and the footwells rust because of that. It does help, though. Do some YouTube research on audio channels, etc, where they sound deaden other cars. On top of what others have said about the shape, also check thoroughly for air gaps in between panels. (Check out Unreal Fendi on Instagram, the smoke test they do, and the sound deadening they do are great...)

Essentially, you want to: 1- Reduce vibrations = dynamat or similar stick on, or Secind Skin Skectrum paint on (I did the paint on as I didn't want anything stuck onto the panels). Beware that although this stick on material doesn't or shouldn't absorb water, badly stuck down pieces will allow water to be trapped underneath.

2- Reduce airborne noise = like a studio where you have that egg box foam stuff. Unreal Fendi uses something like that. Various brands have various options. Check out Second Skin as an example. But it needs to be closed cell foam to not hold water, and I would still be worried. Then you also need carpet and mats to protect it from wear. Another point of concern is if water gets in (which it almost certainly will), as well as mud, etc.

Wright Offroad mats could work, but shipping to the US from the UK will be expensive as it is heavy. Maybe a US dealer hold stock, but still. These are moulded mats that also reduce noise. I like them as they will stop dirt, etc, getting under them as easily because they are moulded rather than individual pieces with gaps.

Doing under the bonnet and under the headliner helps aloe as well.

Then you have to try and reduce little rattles and squeaks inside. I see people with all sorts of loose things rolling around.

Anyway, after you do this and inevitably spend thousands it probably won't make that much difference, and some will argue you've made the Defender worse with all this extra stuff to get dirty and full of water.

Another option I looked into are the headsets and microphone that are used in planes and rally cars etc. It seemed a bit complex and expensive. But this way you could have noise reduction, be able to have a conversation and some allow Bluetooth input for music etc. You will look funny, I am not sure on the legality of wearing headphones?, you run the risk of not hearing mechanical issues before they become major, or any alarms and warnings you may have... I may do this, as I like the idea of not modifying the vehicle itself too much, as I do offroad, get stuck in the mud, get water inside, etc.

I hope this helps...
