Any question answered...

Trying to update my Tangent Quattro internet radio as the reciva service is discontinued

Theres a hack on github here

Which works and as a test I can now stream this station (Swiss Jazz. Nice.)

But, I cant get 6music to work, presumably because you have to click the play button on the page whereas the station above just plays automatically

a few other websites aggregate and stream radio, but none without a click.

any help? ta

but cheers

I'm trying to help my dad design a new tailgate for his trailer, after his fell off while driving on the motorway (oh to be a near 70s year old pensioner...)

There's two pieces of hardware which will need replacing - one of which I have identified as a lift off hinge. The second is the end/female/receiving bit of a latch, which looks a bit like this:

Essentially I'll looking for something like the hook on the left - is there a specific name for this sort of thing? And does anyone know what a lift-off hinge/whatever the second thing is called, will be called in German, as it will be purchased there...

You're looking for a Spannverschluss or a Hebelverschluss.

Excellent, thanks

Has a database of various formats for stations, so might have one that works.

Vegan wines. Any reason to get some / not get some?

Are you vegan? If so, you might want to look into it, depending on your level of dedication.

No I'm not, and no-one of a drinking age in my house is, but my girlfriend wants to buy a case of vegan wine Vs non vegan wine.

I was wondering if there was any good reason one way or the other for two non vegans

I wouldn't think so, the only difference is the filtration material as far as I know.

Thanks. It's been ordered, I'll report back

Not really. Just means they don't use Isinglass as a fining agent, I believe.

Edit: Wot the preacher said.

Just to add, sometimes gelatine or egg albumen is used instead of isinglass.

Isinglass is used to filter white wines, egg whites are used to filter out the tannins in red wines.

Is there any commonality around the streams it does like? I note there's a big database of streams available on another Github link - tried any of those?

Noice, thanks for … clarifying :)

Odd that 6 works but 1 doesnt

2,3,4 I didnt really expect to work at those sites all require a mouse click to start streaming

Spacers for 11 speed...

I was under the impression they weren't needed.
Or is that only for road cassettes?

If putting a M7000 11-42 onto what might normally be a road hub/wheelset (Hunt 30mm road/gravel) then do I need a spacer (where I might not on, say, a 11-30 R7000 cassette).

Shimano MTB 11s cassettes are the same width as 10s road as far as I know, so fit with a spacer

Thanks

Whats the cheapest car I could rent to get four adults in and with a boot that could fit a wheelchair for elderly relative? I have no idea how big the wheelchair might be.

Whats that maths based simple life algorithm/animation thing called? Where you have a grid and squares get turned on/off based on the formula?

Very famous.

Edit: Conways Game Of Life

How long a journey/in how much comfort? I'd expect to be able to get 4 adults+wheelchair (most manual ones IME fold, so boot space shouldn't be critical) into most 4-door cars.
