  1. I have a question for anyone handy with a screwdriver. So, I have wall high closet with two sets of drawers that come out on tracks. The steel fittings that contain the tracks are mounted to the sides with screws. I overloaded one drawer with books and a whole rack of 5 drawers tore out the screws and collapsed to the floor. My question. Can you use polyfilla in the holes where the screws used to be and then just screw in the screws in the same place. That would be easiest because they all failed on the left side and the ones on the right are all still attached, so If I had to move them I would have to take everything out first. Is there something else you can use on wood that will actually strengthen what looks to be plain particle board on the side that failed. Edit: Whoever built this was lazy. I see holes for 4 screws on the steel bracket thingies with the tracks and there were only 2.
  2. You can only use it to connect male to male. That means you could use it to connect two computers, if they happened to be 10 cm apart. It won't extend two USB cords. Remember one end of a USB jack is a dud, because it ends in something else. A Minijack for power, at device. etc.
  3. I found this in my junk drawer. Its a female to female USB adaptor. It's adapting to the same thing it was in the first place. Why would you need this ?. I suppose you could use it as 10 cm extension cord. Different versions you say. No, it's not even that.
  4. Metro RPG mmm… Think about it.
  5. Here's what I don't understand. How can you take it anywhere or park it on the street. Doesn't sound very utilitarian. Honestly given the clip in shoes and spandex, it's not like I want to wander around anyways. Spandex shaves off seconds though. So you will get wherever you were going .. seconds faster, at the mere cost of dignity.

  7. what do you think. They have it in black too, but it looked too much like it belonged in a porn shoot.
  8. It's all a blur. I played both Risen games but they meld into each other in my recollection. Islands, shooting things with muskets and things. I don't think I completed either but I had fun along the way. It's the kind of game you can't really play without using the wiki.
  9. Is anyone playing New California ?
  10. New pet peeve. People who talk in an affected British accent on their answering machines and are so obviously not. Stop rolling your r's you phoney.
  11. It's october 14 and it was 21 degrees out. Who ever heard of that. However many Fahrenheit that is.
  12. They like to build up to stuff and they haven't really figured out what that stuff is. Another enemy type obviously, the enemy of the elders. But it's not unlike writing for a TV show and they have no idea what the second season is going to be, they just want a cliffhanger.
  13. Mother****ers I was so ready for another X com game
  14. Anyone know of a good program to capture video from your screen. I've found a few free ones but they seem to be glitchy I can't really have the thing crash while its compiling.
  15. this improved my mood immensely
  16. It's vital that companions have some aspects that cannot be altered by the player, because being able to change them makes no sense. Even though the respec options that are built into the game make no sense either. You must understand it is simply not ok to have an Eder in some person's game that has less than 13 RES, or isn't given the weapon proficiencies or starting abilities that were assigned to him by the developers. If such a thing were to happen, it would ruin the game. Somehow. Anyway don't ask questions about this, the developers, and the fanbase that agrees with the developers' choices on this matter, are a lot more experienced than you and know better than you. Also, by even making this topic at all you are showing extreme gamer entitlement and are probably also racist and/or sexist. What does that last part have to do with anything. Argue the point and lay off negative personal references please.
  17. No, genius. That's sponsored.
  18. It's kinda sacrificing a lot, but I can't go back to wrangling cables when I'm out and about. With a decent DAC at home you can plug them in and get more sound quality.
  19. I'm looking for headphones that have both bluetooth and traditional connectors. It's a very confusing market. I want to find the goldilocks point between price and performance. Just about every set of headphones I have ever bought have broken because of flimsy plastics with nothing going wrong with the speakers themselves, so build quality is important too.
  20. I think they sell those on ebay, they are a hoax of course but he was too dumb to know
  21. Well, maybe I just lucked out.
  22. Amazon.de Parts are pretty much parts unless you order from aliexpress (chinese Ebay). Probably find a german price comparison site or two. I think Amazon consistently undercuts local vendors to keep them from competing, but I wouldn't trust it without checking.
  23. Notice how he said that if anything broke he could swap out a part and 'have it serviced without losing the entire computer'. I think he's one of those Mac animals, that's how he managed to live this long and not know any of this. (some of my best friends etc etc)
