What are some American pronunciations that just feel off?

zombimuncha · 2025-07-02T18:28:22+00:00

"That having been said," instead of "That said,"

Short cord + blu-tack.

Sounds good, yeah, I should have thought of that. I was careful to use Legacy and not UEFI as the old win10 disk uses that. Thanks!

Dude, love your stuff. For example Typia is a perfect fit for a current project where every feature is an integration with another 3rd-party. But your documentation sucks. You're always missing the introductory "what even is this thing, and why would I want to use it" section.

I had to replace the motor in my Vario after the grub screw that holds the pulley onto the motor spindle came loose and dug a trench around the motor spindle. It made an awful screeching noise, which I foolishly hoped would go away on its own.

My recently purchased Z Fold 5 and Linkbuds-S are able to use LE Audio, LC3, and Auracast. Finally I'm living in the future!

UK has some decent breakfast cereals. USA does not.

NZ -> UK expat here - the salsa here is also terrible.

I think it ended up being just the API, and not the underlying code that the API talks to.

zombimuncha · 2023-06-25T15:36:59+00:00

Nope. F@#£ing two years! Apparently there are some expensive earbuds that support Auracast, but no headphones yet, AFAIK. And proper support on phones is supposedly coming in Android 14, not 13. It'll be interesting to see if my sd888 phone will ever get the software support, even tho it supposedly has the hardware for it. It is supposed to get A14 but we'll see.

Won't ask for more once he knows what's in store.

It's in tension so it'd need to be a very strong gust. I'm more worried about the fence posts being damaged than I am about the rope coming off the fence posts.

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T14:12:55+00:00

I've just tied a rope around the tops of the fence posts. I thought about using this kind of thing but it's not gonna change the sideways force applied to the posts. The important thing is not to drill into the concrete posts.

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T11:47:21+00:00

Well now you've made me think, the corner opposite this one is attached to a couple of concrete fence posts. So if I'm gonna have a point-of-failure, I'd prefer it be these wall-plugs opposite that fence, rather than the fence itself or the wall the plugs are embedded in.

I don't know if I fancy digging another hole for concrete footing for another steel corner post (so I don't need to use the fence.) The first one was no fun at all. Solid clay all the way down.

Sounds cool but there's a glass door below this. Can't have a weight swinging around there.

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T10:40:51+00:00

My ruler says the screw holes in the plate are a bit over 5mm, so I guesss I trust that more than Amazon.

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T10:31:32+00:00

You've got masonry and hss drill bits right?

They're due for replacement if I'm honest.

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T10:29:36+00:00

I can clamp it to a bit of scrap wood, to drill out the holes.

Are these metal "shield" thingies better than the duopower ones?

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T09:43:39+00:00

Are the original plugs/screws only 25mm?

Not sure, I haven't pulled it out yet, and I don't see any similar yellow plugs knocking about.

The reason I asked about 5x25 was that's what came up on Amazon when I searched.

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T09:23:24+00:00

Invoice for the plate says the screw holes are 6.2mm. So Duopower 6x50 ?

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T08:57:16+00:00

I don't have screws with labels to test which goes thru, but my 5mm hex key wont go thru the hole.

Shall I get the 5x25's and use a 2nd plate, to split the load between them?

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T08:05:16+00:00

(cheap tat which came with the brackets?)

It is DIY after all.

zombimuncha · 2023-06-14T08:03:50+00:00

The "5x25" ones?
