Sadly that's not going to be BMW specific for much longer, they're all taking a page out of that book. 2022 Hyundai, long story on how I managed to kill a single spark plug at 30k miles, but this time last year the part wasn't listed anywhere. It was FORTY DOLLARS for a SINGLE plug from Hyundai. I'm sure there were alternates that would work but I wasn't going to risk it over 40 bucks at that low mileage.
No but it's got a demo for free
So they get cooked using the heat of the pasta itself (/some of the pasta water). You have to be pretty quick to 1) make sure there's enough heat and 2) keep from making scrambled eggs.
Here's a Babbish video with a good walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoHnwOHLiMk&ab_channel=BabishCulinaryUniverse
I usually tend to be incredibly overly ambitious and land on something more reasonable.
I still want to get up north but that is a true and proper adventure for all the reasons you mentioned. It's just going to take a lot of time and a lot of talking to a lot of different people. For the fires that means I'll need multiple routes for each section, as well as bail out plans. I'll get it sorted but it's literally going to take me the 18ish mo, and even then who knows.
In a very expected turn, we're looking at a 2025 BDR as a shakedown for a 2026 trip up north. That far up we're looking at fuel drops, or at least coordinating with some private logging companies. I just don't see it coming together, and less so making sure the crew is prepped. I think a proper BDR ass kicking is a good idea first. I'm a decent enough rider, but I'm a better trip planner, and the key part of that is when you realize it's a bad line.
Thanks for the tip on butler. I'm going to keep gathering information and belching it out here because the community is small. But it's going to take a good long while to properly route that, and make sure everyone is ready in terms of advanced first-aide, extra parts... let alone the financial planning to make sure that can all happen (honestly that will be the miracle if it happens in 2026).
Fucking move man. You're living in a state that apparently depends on almonds. Where do you think you're going to keep living? What's the cutoff? Like you can't raise a family in a state with no water that depends on almonds.
I know youtube has been selective about rollouts, but I use uBlock, sponsor block, and ABP in chrome and have had zero issues.
People who don't want to use the epic store. That was me. I just don't want another launcher, another account. I'll get around to it at some point I'm sure but I didn't buy AW2 and probably would have if it wasn't an exclusive.
No George Clinton was in parliament.
I never had an issue either! My gen2 KLR came with upgraded pegs (previous owner farkled everything, in the good way), and I just never liked them as much.
yeah they are one of those things that make you go "HOW much?!". Glad to hear more people say it's subjective. People would tell me the same thing you said, but I just don't like the way my foot "seats" when I transition from sitting to standing quickly, and I like even less the brake/shift control I have.
Foot peg question?
Just a preference thing I guess, but I'm curious where people fall. On my gen1 KLR I had stock foot pegs, and I liked them because they were narrower, and sort of "locked in" to the arch on my boot when I was standing.
My Gen2 KLR and now my KTM both have wider pegs, I know thats better for tarmac, and they seem to have plenty of bite, but I never quite got used to it.
Anyone else feel similar? Just looking for some input before I "downgrade"
They meant "no where to put the power", which is true (although it's not a new problem by any stretch and there's a lot going on to address it).
Tabasco serves it's purpose. It has very little depth of flavor but there's a time and place for it. Like in this dish where you want some zing but don't want the hot sauce to overtake the flavor.
Not as great as it seems. The thing is, everyone's retirement is tied to real-estate. The numbers my vary country by country, but nearly all pension funds and mutual funds have significant exposure to real-estate that is just ignoring the issue that those properties may become uninsurable. That's before what happens due to the economic disruption of all those cities slowly, then at an increased velocity, relocating.
It's not going to be pretty.
The human body is meant for variety. It's wild that as much as we've learned about the absolutely insane importance of the gut microbiome it still comes down to "eat your vegetables".
So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you're describing is the main issue with climate change.
It's not going to be "the day after tomorrow". It will be coastal cities... which are... like nearly ALL of them... losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say "what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it's sure to have severe damage?".
For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the "going" is going to be very, very ugly.
Lol. I get it. I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times I'm sure: it's got a lot of problems, but I like the framework the NAP provides. It's explicit and provides a place to work from.
They're not all crazy "public roads are theft" folks. And again, remember the party soundly rejected trump. IME a lot of libertarians are generally supportive of social programs, so long as they're egalitarian.
But what really rustles jimmies is the cut and dry stuff. I will never be able to get over democrats being on the wrong side of gay marriage, even in the name of pragmatism. I'll support them out of pragmatism, but I'm bitter about it.
But to the point of this thread: very little of that matters if there's not a next election. I'll take the party that fumbled gay marriage in the late 2000s VS. The one that wants to kill my friends 1000/10 times.
And again to the point of this thread: it's telling, and gives me faith in my party, there is no "Garry Johnson" this year.
There are some really cool things. Summarizing meetings or emails (at the low low cost of the last shred of your privacy), doing low stakes drafting to solve the "blank doc" problem etc. Advances in medical imaging are crazy cool as well, but that's been bubbling since mid 2000s and we just called it "machine learning".
Replacing creatives is utter insanity.
mapping?
What do y'all use for mapping/researching routes? Looking into some stuff in NORTHERN Canada. Trip wouldn't be until next summer.
As someone in a state where my presidential vote is very much decided... I voted Gary Johnson in 2016. I know there are a lot of very real critiques of the libertarian party and/or platform, but it's really sad the green party puts it to shame... it's not a high bar.
My point being... wtf is she still doing doing this stuff? Libertarians push local candidates all the damn time, and make a push for the presidential seat when they can, but soundly rejected Trump, and hell, even in 2016 you had the VP libertarian cantidate saying "vote Hillary". Like I am upset as anyone else, but if you're still in the green party you're just kidding yourself... and thats from a freaking libertarian that hates his party a good 50% of the time.
Any KTM 1190 riders here?
Hi All,
I'm getting a great bike in the worst way. The guy that got me into all this at like 10 years old passed on, and as no one in his family rides, the family wants me to keep the miles rolling.
I'm thrilled, and while I was a little intimidated by the size, it's only 20lbs heavier than my KLR, and the height is no issue as I'm a tall rider; I can flat foot just fine. Took it around the block and it was... transcendental. I had no idea that much power could be that nimble.
My question is what are some big maintenance items I should prioritize? I'm coming from the unkillable pig of a KLR. this is going to be a bit of an adjustment. Also, the bike was very well maintained but his health was bad for about a year. The ride I took around the block was great, but the front suspension seemed a little bumpy for pavement. It's got mixed use tires on it so it's possible it was just the tread on pavement, just being a little paranoid.
I also smelled some burning plastic when I fired it up, but am willing to bet it might have been some kind of weird dust in the exhaust; there was nothing dangling anywhere hot and it did go away.
So yeah, just looking for some general tips and icebergs to avoid. I do most of my own maintience but again that's on gen I and gen II KLRs
Simple average color library for video? (edit: closed, problem wasn't the problem)
Hi All,
I'm screening a large media library (20TB) wherein some files got corrupted when I did a transfer via filezilla (by my guess ~10%). The corrupted files display with a green "filter" over every frame (when played via plex and a number of local video players playing the file directly).
I'd like to screen the library, and want to write a script to get an average color reading.
Are there any libraries that would let me return a value AND specify how many frames I want it to take the average of? Because of how consistent and defined the issue is, it's really not necessary to average the whole file.
It would also be great if it automatically skipped non-video files, but I imagine a simple "try/except" would be fine.
My skill level here is best described as "high level hobbyist". I'm familiar with what I need to do iterating over the folder etc, but would prefer not to learn how to pull specific frames from a video container unless I have to.
Thanks for any help!
How to screen a 20TB library for corrupted files?
Hi All,
About a year ago I transferred all my files to a new drive. I used filzezilla which did mostly ok-ish, but I didn't notice that some of the video files were corrupted. Random files will have a green tinge to them (like someone put a green filter over the lens).
It seems random, although if it's a series it's usually the whole series.
I've been replacing them as they come up, but I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas to expedite the process.
Thanks for any help!
Programmable bluetooth button? Any recs?
I have the chubby button v1.0 for my music and love it. Only thing is I'd love something to cue my phones voice command like in my car. The chubby button 2.0 does that (by letting you program a function), but 1.0 doesn't and it's still a perfectly bomb proof bit of hardware.
Does anyone have any recs on a real simple, weather proof, button I could ideally wrap onto my crossbar?
Advice on wintering capers and/or olives indoors? More in comments
Hi All,
First year with olives and capers. I live in a region where they're barley happy in the summer and definitely wouldn't survive the winter outdoors.
I knew that getting into it, and have space set aside for them. I also have grow lights that probably do better than what they got during the summer. So my question is, what kind of environment do I give them so they think it's winter?
Like I said, if I crank the grow lights I wouldn't be surprised if they flowered over winter, and I don't want them losing track of the seasons (unless they don't really care).
Any tips?
Random skipping on direct stream? Temp fix.
I was wondering if anyone bumped into this. I noticed random jumps (1-3seconds) in playback when playing original quality. Definitely not buffering or performance lag, just an actual playback error. Jump was at the same spot anytime I loaded the media and regardless of what time I loaded it to.
Which is curious because on playing the file with a different media player on the box it was on, zero issue what so ever.
Disabling direct stream option (under debug) resolved it, and there doesn't seem to be much of a performance hit, I'm just curious what's going on here.
Noob stumbling along. Just looking for some guidance on adding a module to initramfs.
Running Bookworm, Plasma DE if that's relevant.
Background: I'm learning here. Decent amount of coding and embedded hardware experience but I'm usually missing one or two key concepts with this stuff.
Getting a box running, and wrestling with NVIDIA drivers. I successfully installed the driver (I think), but now lightdm isn't working. From what I read it appears there's a common issue around a race condition where lightdm tries to fire up before the drivers ready, so I need to add the nvidia driver to initramfs.
Can anyone give me some pointers? Specifically while I get the above:
- I'm not sure what modules need to be added and if they're named something specific for debian vs other distros
- The correct file to modify
- The correct format/syntax that needs to be added
I've found lots of examples, just none specific to debian, and screwing around at this level I don't want to bork something enough I need to do a bare install.
Thanks for any help!
Not sure where to start. Playback from webclient is great but HTPC program is performs terribly. Same machine, local media.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I have a pretty beefy PC I use as a server and HTPC. 24 2.5ghz cores, 64gb ram, kind of a crappy video card, debian 11. I just migrated all my stuff over and stress tested it supporting 8 different transcribed streams simultaneously (mix of in/out of local). That worked great.
BUT, the video playback is choppy (as in frame skipping) and out of sync when I'm running the HTPC program. Oddly using the web client on the same machine avoids that issue.
Any thoughts? I'm wondering if it might be that it's an older TV it's plugged into and there's some issue there. Thing is, like I said, the webclient its worlds better. Webclient seems to have some issues but I'm pretty sure that's just due to the TV.
Any pointers are helpful! I'm OK at this stuff but very much learning.
Blanking on a term. I remember a protocol/firmware for wireless routers where the idea was to connect as many as possible to create a quasi internet without any ISPs. Help?
Basically title. I remember reading about it back in like 2018, I even remember a company that would provide crypto based on the amount of traffic you let through. Just curious if that ever saw any growth.
Everything I google keeps bringing up things on the darkweb. The goal of this was explicitly to go "ISP-less". Like they envisioned mesh net covering giant swathes of space.
Want to be a mod?
Hi All,
I mostly grabbed this as a place-holder because this is a community I'll miss from reddit. I'll post some of my bog gardens after I can give them a proper hair cut.
If anyone wants to take on any mod responsibilities now or in the future just reach out. I imagine it'll be a while before there's anything really involved though.
Glad to see there's already some posts :)
