Has anyone here managed to get a Chromecast to work without a WiFi network? I’m trying to cast from my iPhone using the iPhone’s 4G/5G and the Chromecast’s guest mode. I cannot get the two to talk though :/

We should do a forum ride to Altnabreac! Bring some of the forum frozen sausages for the lols.

FTFY 😀

So you’re on some kind of mission now? To prove what to who, exactly? Don’t you have something better you could be doing with your time, like going out for a bike ride or building some IKEA furniture? It’s just a YouTube video.

Sorry, why are you so interested in this and spending so much time on it? More important, why are you spending money to get involved? Do you have some kind of financial interest in what’s going on?

Hot shit. Looking forward to this.

New commute. 14 miles and it goes through Bushy Park. Absolute ledge earlier on a leccy skateboard!

Also got my record player apart to do the conversion from DIN to phono/RCA plugs, but I decided I’ve had too much wine to drink to accurately drill the holes in the back. I’ll do it tomorrow.

Golden moment for this thread!

Recently moved house and managed to smash a valve in my preamp. Annoyance. It had 4 matched soviet era valves from the same manufacturer, same batch, dated 10/86. Replaced all 4 with same soviet brand, same batch dated 1/77. Not quite as sweet and detailed as the 10/86 batch, not as much big bollocks bottom and a slight hiss on the left channel. That means I got probably got lucky with my first batch and I probably have to do some tube rolling to make it sound how I want it! Got a really nice pair dated 66 which usually live in my Mullard 3-3 valve amp which could sub in if necessary.

That looks like a pretty acceptable bacon roll!

The ones which are £100 per brake and discontinued?

You can still get the alloy ones, TRP Eurox, but I wasn't going to recommend them because you need to have a hand grip like Geoff Capes to be able to stop your bike. Forget about emergency stops.

Same as the carbon ones thoough, dey look so nize?

Play-doh

Cannot stand the smell 🤢

Is there one that's easy to set up with only two hands and no more than two allen keys and offers good braking?

I think you can only choose two things from that list, but someone would have to confirm.

we preground the coffee though

Savages.

Aeropress and a bag of coffee.

133 miles from my work (Teddington). Only gone as far out as HDIJ in that direction but I know the M40 is very up and down. No idea what the non-M roads are like on the route but I’m guessing this might be for the braver riders.

Splendid!

Tickets for the homecoming ceremony in Birmingham on Thursday: https://www.utilitaarenabham.co.uk/whats-on/the-national-lotterys-paralympicsgb-homecoming

I’ve got 2 tickets but don’t really fancy driving up there. Group ride?

I’m fully in love with Matt Bush. I have no idea how tall he is but when he won his medal it was cutting to some fairly hench-looking able bodied folks who were his trainers and coaches and he scooped them up with one arm like they were children.

Splendid! Fancy sharing your recipe?

On the subject of Christmas recipes, I’d like to share the Forman’s Christmas pudding recipe which was published in the Metro decades ago. Best home made pud I’ve ever had. Very light and very zesty. I’d say though, although it’s got a lot of alcohol in, it I wouldn’t leave it raw too long before cooking. Beginning of December seems to be a good time and douse it in a generous amount of brandy or rum 👍

Yeah I looked into this a while back and it’s not straightforward but there are a couple of options. Problem with chucking them into your domestic recycling is that it’s usually sorted by hand on a big conveyor belt so it’s not very nice for the workers to find sharps like kitchen knives whizzing past. Knife amnesty box at the local police station is the best option but obvs relies on having an actual local nick you can walk into. Metal recycling at the tip I’m pretty sure is just shredded and sorted by machine, so little or no risk to workers. And you can at least ask someone there if that’s the best place or if they have a sharps box. Another good suggestion when I got rid of my last lot was to take a file or grinder to the cutting edge and the tip to basically make it useless as a knife before disposal. Then it can’t harm anyone whatever you do with it 👍

How did he run the frame inside his t-shirt?

I hate all these musicians. Musicians eh? And bands. I hate all these bands too.

Hi I’m new here. Which thread should I post these memes in?

I’ve seen at least an extra zero on top of that with frequency and voltage conversion for power isolation. The HiFi world pales the coffee world into insignificance! That’s before you get into tube rolling and that’s before you get into 6-figure bespoke triodes! Plus the rest. It’s a mad world.
