That's weird. We have three of these, and their record CD to USB function definitely works, though I've only tried it maybe twice. I'll play with it tonight and get back to you. In the meantime, I'd suggest 1) consult the manual, link here: www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4559/575c7930996efbe421c6f14c5e316164/45599011M.pdf And 2) try a different CD; it's possible that the disk you're using has some sort of duplication protection.

@@pocket83squared I haven't really heard of "duplication protection". All the CDs I tried didn't work. Although I didn't try all of them.

That sounds like a great idea, but it might not be waaaay easy, because you'd have to stick your head around to the other side of the springs with each pass in order to feed the thread back through into the stitch. Also, I think we replaced two last year. I'll definitely consider it, though. Thanks.

@@pocket83squared done it a few times and the thread is thicker. every stitch locks and is stronger

Started watching, and turned it off. His ultra-critical eye for minutia starts to bother me. Like, who cares if some of our solutions are a hodge-podge of duct tape and bubblegum? I bet I'd find plenty in his life that could use some improvement. We're all flawed. Let me know if I should finish watching it, though. That guy has made some really thoughtful content. And thanks for stopping by. Happy Solstice--best day of the year, so go have a Margarita. Use real limes, no pre-mixes.

@@pocket83squared His acerbic and polysyllabic derision of Rolfe's methods reminded me of your *old* conversations in the comment sections. Part of me misses that pugilism, but a much larger part of me respects your evolution. You're a role model of mine for many, varied reasons. I'm tickled pink that you responded, and especially that you demurred. It'll probably be a while, but if anything else reminds me of you I'll pass it on.

This game is more complicated than rocket science! That's just simple Newtonian physics; we're talking about not just marketing, but also economics here, which is beyond the grasp of any human being! We can argue all day long about what causes our products to become overpriced junk, but the fact is that there isn't just one simple answer. Much of what we observe end up being misleadingly loose correlations mixed-in to a complex stew of semi-causative variables, with every ingredient to a unique degree. Today's rational actor is often put into a situation in which there _is_ no available consumer choice. As such, it ends up being no help to sit on your laurels waiting for better market options to become available. They aren't coming unless we do something.

Strap in, because this one is a scary thought. One of the creepiest parts about growing up is realizing that there are no _real_ authorities. There's a safe feeling in the ignorance of trust, because we're certain that if something were to happen to us, there's an 'expert' out there who'll save us from the problem: doctors, preachers, and even consumer products are regarded as potential healers, but while in the moment of urgency, little consideration gets paid to their mortal origin. As one develops, one begins to see cracks in the wall: consumer products are being advertised with marketing lies (12=48 paper towels), proselytizers are profiting while promising false hope, and medicine optimistically avoids any admission of fallibility. There are no experts. As one develops a skill, its mystique falls away, and its grounded nature becomes apparent. Though skill and intelligence are invisible to those who don't posses them even to the point that their expressions can appear as magic, even the best of us are still charlatans, grown-up children who've learned to parrot a trick. And as such, we're all just as susceptible to flawed reasoning as anyone else. In fact, bias and false-pattern recognition mislead the clever ones even more aggressively, and ultimately, more persuasively. Please, don't take this as a dismissal of skill or talent. My point here is that our regard for them, and thus our expectations _of_ them, should be more realistic so that we don't set ourselves up for disappointment. Those who've done the work to earn a title or perform a musical weave deserve, at least, to receive respect by our admission of the struggle of their development. I mean, I struggle with the Harmonica chorus of _Oh Susanna!_ And my response's conclusion has two heads, optimistic and cynical. The experience of developing skill is a rapid-rise curve. Here I'm not just talking about one skill, I'm talking about plotting out the rise, expression, and fall of _all_ your skills; here I mean the full expression of a person's aptitude. One rapidly gathers skills at first, eventually establishing _the skill of developing skills_ as a skill unto itself. It is at this time that we become faced with a conundrum: _to what ought I direct my skill?_ Your skill, and what you express with it, is important. More than you or I easily realize. It adds character to the world; it reverberates, transfers, passes on. Though the experience of skill development and expression is exhilarating, that's not really an end in itself. A metaphorical comparison can easily be made to money, because it's _the things your money can do_ that matters. And so it is at this point that I would advise you to choose, and express, your skills with discretion. And finally, to my cynical side. The process becomes tedious. While the curve rises sharply at first, it eventually plateaus as one begins to realize his limits. Subjectively, I have personally experienced the diminution of my own mathematical ability, and not just in terms of skill; I now lack the clarity of perception that I once enjoyed, yet I still remember what it was like to have a conceptual understanding that was beyond what I now have. I hurts to lose it, but it's also nice to know that it isn't magic. There's a beauty in this, to see the smallness of one's own capability. Not in the imposition of forced humility, but in the tiny glimpse we get of the grand scale (of this thing we're in) that our smallness grants. To be put in our place and see our own unimportance is to recognize the corollary, that is, to more clearly see the importance of the world that's around us. And don't immerse your power tools in water.

Thanks a bunch. Videos are hard to justify anymore, unless I think the content's really useful. Views are at a crawl, and I refuse to use sponsorship deals. I only keep doing this for people like you-fellow tinkerers. It's downright flattering to know somebody uses this stuff. And I know what you mean: it's getting hard to watch _anything_ on this platform.

@@pocket83squared I understand. It's a very small number of content creators worth watching nowadays, some resorts to sponsored content, understandable of course. But for me it's a signal the content is turning bad. Often times I'm right sadly. Do not underestimate your contribution, I'm not alone to be very exited when you release a new video.

It's in the bank now... or dare I say, in the _pocket_ ... 😅

That fear is a major hurdle. Remember, it's just another material that humans have been shaping for millennia. And for the bulk of that time, they didn't even use diamond blades!

Thanks! Good to hear from you. Quartz is beautiful stuff. Okay, you'll like this idea. Since I only have one seam to do, I'm going to use hot-melt glue to affix plywood to both sides of the seam. From there, I'll simply use clamps. After the epoxy sets up, hot glue can be removed from a flat surface with isopropyl alcohol like magic.

@@pocket83squared sounds good, good luck!

Thanks.

You're probably right. I was thinking about etching the arrows in with a Dremel, considering how long a diamond blade can last.

@@pocket83squared That's a good idea. I might do the same.

Just messing with you.

Came here to comment the same thing. Jokes on you @pocket83squared, You're screwing yourself. You might want to change the thumbnail. I passed this video a few times before I realized I had not watched it.

@@savage6394 Nope. I don't chase down views. This video will get the same 2K and subsequent permanent stall that all of my non-clickbait videos get. Watch if the topic is useful, or else go listen to stumpy talk about sawdust (again).

@@pocket83squared hey, sawdust is a serious matter.... X"D

@@lukearts2954 Slimes like that have ruined this medium. Not that anyone would notice, but I've been thinking about spoofing his lame-ass clickbaiting in a video titled (in red and white bold font), "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SAWDUST" or "YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO ABOUT SAWDUST," in which I'd discuss some of the ways that one can use the stuff around the shop, but without all of the safety proselytizing and bloviating. Of course, in an ironic twist, and with Poe's law well in mind, the guy has actually ended up making videos on the topic. It's difficult for me to believe that so many people keep clicking on such garbage, and further, that they can even sit through his irrelevantly pedantic content, especially since it's all marketing! "Woodworker," my ass. Commenters eat it up, though; they just _love_ a place to share their safety-themed personal anecdotes. I shoot that shit down instantly here, which is part of the reason my channels lack popularity. But at least I'll tell you what you can use your sawdust for, other than to hide under a pile of it while donning full PPE in case the sky falls. pocket's law: wherever extremism exceeds the reach of what is possible to critique with satire, extremist behavior no longer elicits its intended affect. Let's keep hoping the bubble will burst.

Thanks. Water is drawn from the long tube with the straw. The straw goes all the way down and into the bottom corner. The short straw is just for blowing in air. If the short straw is any longer, it will squirt whenever you move the bottle.

@@pocket83squared With the short tube you can set the pressure inside the bottle to a constant level as soon water is flowing out of the bottle.

​@@andrep5899 If you're thinking that you can use a plastic bottle as a pressure tank, think again, because 1) the bottle would have to be rigid, 2) there isn't enough air in a filled bottle to create a pressurized air bladder, and 3) the blow tube would require a check-valve in order to keep pressure in the first place. Note that pressure tanks, like those for a well, have an internal elastic diaphragm that partitions off compressed air from the liquid. If its volume is fixed, then pressure drops as liquid leaves the bottle, eventually finding equilibrium and stopping flow. More than half of a well tank's volume ends up being air. On such a small scale, the physics just don't transfer, so it's not practical.

@@pocket83squared Sorry, I probably don't explain it well. Don't pressurize the tank. This principle has a name but I forgot "the bottle of ???". Maybe it is easier to understand if you turn the bottle and the cap is beneath. Lets say you hang the bottle. You keep the short tube short as you do now. As the water flows out of the bottle the air comes in from the bottom of the bottle. This means you have ambiant air pressure at that point. So it is not the height of the water in the bottle that determines the pressure anymore. Result you have a steady flow of water. But the flow will be determined by the height of that point compared to the height of the outlet of the long tube. Hence you will have to place the bottle higher up. But you can obtain the same with a second tube that reaches almost the bottom of the upright bottle. With a rigid bottle it would be better but it will work too with a plastic bottle as you don't have a pressure higher than ambiant air pressure. Only at the start when you blow a little bit of air you have a higher pressure inside the bottle. I hope it is better explained now?

Ha! It happened twice that I can remember. One time, the objective was to build a paper glider: during the evaluation, mine went 10x farther than the nearest competitor. The other time was a bow & arrow challenge for Medieval Days. While other kids were landing halfway to the stage, one of my arrows cracked the back wall so high and hard that administrators came running over to 'disarm' me. The others stood no chance; I had already been making bows in the woods for years, using bricklayer's twine and fresh Cherry saplings. One kid _did_ come close. Or his Dad, rather (who was an engineer). His projectile device was a crossbow with latex tubing under wound tension. Also had a beautifully complex trigger mechanism. Cheater still lost by an easy 25%.

Okay, I gave you a heart for the sentiment, but here's my more serious response. It's called self-reliance: there's nothing about it that's yokel-y, provincial, or ignorant. No tire piles or traitor flags pepper my property. Nothin' personal, but cha prolly got no right to disparage. In fact, shopless condo-dwellers have become the modern bumkins, who've been crammed into an unnatural life without developmental space; in contrast, _I_ have the luxury of privacy, no HOA, and get to enjoy my own fruit orchard-and soon, a granite countertop lined with custom-fit Carrera Marble. That's why I love it.

I am the one with hookworms around my lips

Oh, here: let me take the time to type it all out so that you don't have to take the time to watch the video.

@@pocket83squared in the amount of words you typed that you really could have just summarized it lmao

Why doesn't it slip? Because the cable is under mild tension, and so it cinches, even more so under a load. Bark gives it considerable friction. How to level it? By feel and eye. A swing that's out of level will favor one side as it rides, and you'll know it. Feels like it's trying to swing around a corner. Don't underestimate your bottom's ability to perceive a leaning seat! And don't underestimate the eye's ability to see level at a distance, either; go take a look: unless there are leaning trees behind it, or if the swing is on a sideways grade, you should be able to tell within an inch what's level. Professional-grade installation note: if you _do_ have two ladders and two installers, it would be no problem at all to use a length of vinyl tubing as a water-level (line-levels lack accuracy) during the initial cable setup. If you start from perfectly level in the first place, you can avoid the bother of trying to adjust other parts of the swing later. Thanks ;)

The little blue-liquid gauge _already is_ a continuous tester. Once the system has passed a test or two, as long as the fan continues to draw a vacuum, there are no reasons to suspect loss of functionality. In fact, if peace-of-mind is the goal, _I_ recommend not looking at daily variances, because they can start to drive you batty from overconsideration. Protection in this case is measured over the long-term, so assessments must be statistical. Continuously 'checking in' will cause you to remember all of the one-day spikes and forget the months of zero-values. Take it from a person who already checks his email obsessively: we don't need any more unnecessary reminders or notifications in life. Another thing the Radon 'experts' don't mention is that you can also keep the basement windows cracked during the temperate parts of the year. In my case, that's a further ~30% reduction.

I don't follow. Is that sarcasm?

@@pocket83squared Not this time. I used a timber tuff to strip bark on several trees a dropped, but i needed a good idea to use a chainsaw to cut planks. I'm using yours. thanks, man.

@@shutinalley Sure thing. Hope it works out for you.

That is a tough problem. Honestly, it might be prudent to simply find a different brand of trampoline, but I'll take a shot at it. First thought is to use a sacrificial link, a go-between, like a single piece of chain that connects the frame to the springs. It would fix the problem, BUT-two new problems arise: 1) that's a lot of chain cutting, and 2) now the trampoline canvas will be under less tension. Problem two might not be a problem. Another idea: If the springs are all breaking at the same place, it may be that the springs themselves were tempered too hard. If I remember correctly, when spring steel is heated up, it becomes less brittle, but it also looses its springiness. Test with one first, but maybe you could try hanging a few springs from a coat-hanger, and hitting them with a blowtorch (right at the spot where they break) until the weak spot briefly turns almost red. The reduced temper might make the springs more snap-resistant at that spot. Careful not to torch the springy part of the spring itself. And hey, if nothing works, the second-hand market is filled with cheap trampolines. Good luck.

@@pocket83squared Good suggestions! Thanks!

What are you talking about? I've been doing this for a decade. Have you actually _tried_ it?

Yes, I have. Black foam insulation for pipes. I don't think we ate talking the same thing. Heavy objects require a firm grip. Do you carry your dumbbells around the farm?

@@ericschmuecker348 Again, I've been using these on my buckets for a decade. Whenever I have to carry something heavy in them, I still prefer using the foam handles. If you've tried them and don't like them, don't use them. Maybe you have smaller hands. End of discussion.

My +20 lbs. dumbbell handles have the same thing on them; the foam has been in use for three years now. Re-taped them, though. Five sets of 12, three times a week, plus squats. They're pretty beat up, but still soft. A few of my foam bucket handles are even older. Garden hose is great for handles, but you have to remove the metal from the bucket in order to avoid making a seam.

There is no damage because the swing gets taken down every season. Without doing so, all swings will end up damaging their host trees, on a long enough timescale. Not that it matters; if you live in a place where trees are scarce enough that damage is even a concern, you are advised _not_ to install a swing. Where I live, I have to cull them just to keep a yard.

Just rest your pencil on the fork. The brakes are just something that doesn't move relative to wheel rotation.
