watery, bland mushrooms are the reason people don't like mushrooms

No, the flavour, texture and smell are the reasons I don’t like mushrooms 🍄 😀

First things first: don’t touch the metal case. Switch it off at the socket and unplug. Just in case anything goes live.

If you ever watched Roadkill or Dirt Every Day, you might like these:

I did think about it but I’ve got a lot of miles to cover that day, so I’ll probably just be on my usual daily fixed gear.

I’ve never TIG welded, but from reading around the car forums I’ve gathered the cheap TIG machines aren’t worth wasting your money on. It’s definitely a question to ask on Retro Rides or one of the other car forums rather than here, though. The tech in consumer (ie non-pro) machines has changed significantly in the last 10 years and moved heavily from transformers to solid state. Plus, if it’s anything like MIG, the torch itself probably makes quite a big difference to your welding experience.

Ha! Maybe just as well then 😀

Also, anyone tried these? I chickened out uh, didn’t have space in my bag.

Picked up these in Longdan earlier. Fancied trying a carbonara one, which is the pink one. All Korean except the bottom left which is Chinese.

No-one else has mentioned this but I’m quite excited to meet the new you. I met you a couple of years ago on the post-Covid bridges ride under your now deadname. I think I’d sort of figured out your change but it’s good to know now! 🙂

Couple of pages back you said:

WDT is probably the best thing you can do to distribute and break up clumps, and I think the leveller is pretty efficient to use if you've got it (does the same thing as tapping against the palm but faster). Although I never bothered with either myself because the Sette made fluffy grinds and I preferred to live with the occasional spurt out than increase prep time by 30s per coffee/get all the extra tools.

This answered my questions about Discord. Thanks to @rhb in the other thread.

What is Discord? Asking for a friend.

I’ll be honest, I’m struggling to work out what it is as well. It looks a bit like WhatsApp so I can’t quite work out how that relates to forum-like activity.

Originally for gamers, but the only experience I’ve got of internet gaming is literally from Pure Pwnage so I’m still like lolrofllolnoobfaglol. I might have to ask the young’uns at work.

Which bit breaks, out of interest? I’m still a Lightning connector user, which I’ve always felt was great compared to micro USB. Has USB C not addressed most or all of the things that were awful about micro USB?

I've been looking at Celestion Dittons and Wharfedales from late 70s. I don't know what I'm doing. Is this all a complete gamble and should I just buy new retro looking stuff?

I’m going to say yes but no. You’re looking at 50+ year old speakers with foam surrounds. The speakers were good and had that proper correctly-aligned sound. The problem with them is early polymers and adhesives in general didn’t last that long and there’s a pretty good chance the surrounds or the adhesive will have perished [though note that you can get replacement surrounds for a lot of well-respected speakers].

By well into the 90s, in fact, I’m going to say into the early 00s, speaker technology had not changed much and a good-quality big paper driver in a well-aligned box still had that sound. Don’t limit yourself to 70s stuff. There are plenty of late 80s and 90s speakers which will sound exactly the same but the constituent materials are 10-20 years younger and thus won’t need any attention.

Did they fucking bollocks.

Crap. Pretty sure I got We Are IE out the discount box on the counter in Bluebird Records in Bromley.

I always read this thread but never reply. I’d saved up a chunk and was looking forward to catching up with the capers. I literally don’t know what to say.

Confirmation from my pal:

DVD 86 was shit. DVD 89 [and on] was good. The older generation of 540D, dvd53, 57 and 59 all had a short lifespan so are highly unlikely to still be working.

The 650BD was the first Blu Ray player, that and the other Blu Ray players were all very good indeed

And apparently the Blu Ray players also have all the audio outs on the back, but probably won’t have SCART 👍

Question - would a dvd player like the cambridge audio DVD86 pitcutred below allow me to do both with one device? Plug a scart or hdmi into the telly for dvds and run some audio cables into the amp for cds?

DVDs will play through telly speakers as long as amp turned off. CDs will play though amp when thats turned on?

Short answer is yes. I’ve got the DVD89 and use it to do exactly that.

However, my pal used to work for whoever it was who made those and I seem to remember one of the earlier ones (which might have been the DVD85, 86 or 87) was a bit glitchy. I’ll find out which one it was 👍

One great thing about these players is they’re all practically the same inside. Mine started to struggle to track certain discs properly and then the tray mechanism failed. I picked up an earlier (glitchy) player cheap and simply swapped the drive unit into mine.
