Any question answered...

Seconded, except for the cold water.

If your peas are still crunchy you haven't defrosted them yet

Anyway the proper way is a pea roast

Ha!

How do I export just the line in this exact position from powerpoint? I.e. transparent png/whatev with just a red line running through it.

I've tried changing the plot and chart area to no fill.

Double clicking the background just offers solid/gradient/picture/pattern. If I hit solid for example and assign a colour to it it's no good, dragging the transparency toggle to 100 just reverts it to the attached with white bg.

The head on my faithful Park PFP-4 floor pump appears to have died. It's a bit of a combination of sealant and age.

I can replace the head, which is part number: Park 1096K, but it's out of stock at SJS, or there's a bigger head which is the Park Tool 1096R, does it matter what I get? Is the hose the same size and thread across the Park pump range?

Kill the y axis grid lines and snapshot tool, load i to paint and use the grab tool with white set as background

Looking for a digital photo frame for an elderly but reasonably competent relative.

This is the current front runner:
UCMDA WiFi Digital Photo Frame, 10.1 Inch Smart Cloud Digital Picture Frames with 1280x800 IPS Touch Screen, 16GB Storage, Auto-Rotate, Send Photos or Video Remotely https://amzn.eu/d/0LWKjuE

Thought I'd double check if anyone else has recently bought one.

Main wants are being able to send pics. One of the people who will be sending pics is very privacy conscious so there must be a way for them to send pics without having to download an app.

Cheers

If you're a CC subscriber you can copy it into Illustrator and it'll paste as a vector (assuming it's a proper chart and not a placed screen grab like ~60% of the authors I work with prefer 🙄), then you can do what you want with it. Not relevant in this case but text doesn't usually survive the transfer, so don't get your hopes up if you require a bit more detail in future attempts.

One of the roof grab handles on my car (2016 VW Touran) is missing a spring and hangs flaccid. Spring on the opposite handle circled in the pic below. Looks like the spring on its own is too small a part to be for sale through the big VW spares shops. Does anyone know where I might find a parts guide that would give me a size or if this is a standard sized spring?

Thanks @Backstop and @6pt - I've actually realised I can get away without it but good to know it's possible. Illustrator version prob fits in best with my workflow. Seems silly you just can't rightclick on the line and save as an image but ho hum.

I suppose I should investigate if I can take the raw data from excel and bring it in as input data in Fusion which is where I'm trying to get it to go eventually as an animated chart.

Making office charts pretty is a somewhat reductive description of my job these days. This is usually the optimal solution, especially for simple chart types.

I have found 6500k 2pin in that form. CRI is OK, 80-82 is the highest I've seen. So I'll never get the 'true' natural light I'm after.
I've even gone down the rabbit hole of SAD lighting.

There are lots of options with traditional screw in or bayonet fittings and I'll need a mixture of both so should be able to avoid renovating the fittings.

Just getting up there to change them, renting a ladder, writing a will etc

I'm very rusty here, but when you copy the chart to the clipboard, it should then paste as vector art to anything that understands vectors, so you can then delete the bits you don't need.

One issue is that Powerpoint/Excel don't support copying sub-elements of a chart, only the whole chart. There is/was a workaround, involving an interim copy and paste as picture, but I think there was some trick.

Actual curves are a problem though, we always redrew pie charts (I know).

Ilustrator used to include a really basic chart feature as well.

Once in Illustrator you can use the Group Selection Tool to pick it apart by sub-bits (click multiple times).

For one blissful release it included a complex chart editor! Disappeared in an update and never seen again, thanks CC. I don't think the chart tool as-is has been updated since 1988. There's this which I keep wanting to give a go, but I'm yet to get around to it.

If you do a lot of % pie charts, the opentype font Chartwell is good for quick + dirty efforts.

I haven't actually removed them to see if they are 2 or 4 pin yet.

Anyone know where I can buy a 3 flute tap extractor in London tomorrow?

Ooo, there's a challenge. Maybe Tap and Die on West Green Road but I can't find any on their website.

I bought cheap fake lamps from Aliexpress for the dinner table, where the bulb peeks halfway out and blasts light into our eyes.
So I'm looking for smart Homekit/Ikea Tradfri compatible bulbs that are smaller than 8 cm and can change the colour temperature. E27 or E14 with an adapter is fine. Anyone any recommendations?

Good lead, thank you

Ha, I've walked past that place probably hundreds of times and always wondered whether it was somewhere selling taps and die (admittedly never to the extent that I've googled it).

@PhilDAS I'd give them a call first, the shutters seems to be down a lot of the time.

Their website says visits by appointment only. I can't imagine they have much passing trade.

Anyone know of anywhere that does weekend/long weekend hire of bikes near London area? Ideally looking for gravel/mountain bike

There's a Canyon hire place in Denbies estate nr Box Hill
