Which websites to use for shocks (us)

So I was thinking about swapping out the shocks on my speed twin 1200, but google kinda gave me a bunch of sites, some more sketchy than others. Any advice?

Thoughts / concerns on CRTs in an unconditioned garage?

So unfortunately my new house doesn’t really have space and my garage has become my man cave. I’m in the north east (nj). Probably just overthinking it since growing up we had TVs in the garage with no issues for decades but I was just wondering what you guys thought. Winter the garage doesn’t get too cold but summers can get pretty humid and hot here. I usually just open both doors and get a great breeze coming through.

The grail has arrived!

I spent more than I would have ever liked to on a tape collection but for $115 bucks I’m happy to finally own twin peaks.

Well boys I will never move one of these again. My body is broken. Sony kv36fv27

Picture actually looks great in person, but I can tell it needs to be horizontally adjusted. I’m a tad nervous to mess with the service menu, any help is appreciated. I figured out the buttons for the service menu but not sure what is what in there. Also IT WAS SO EFFING HEAVY. came with the og stand though! 100 bucks in total.

Was clean for over 4 months, then relapsed for 4 days straight- question about withdrawals

Hey guys, so I’m now clean again on day 3. Prior to my original and longest clean period of about 4 months I’ve been to the hospital for withdrawals more than I’d like to admit. So I guess my question is more medical than anything. Sunday morning and then Monday morning I went to the hospital because I couldn’t sleep, was losing my mind, borderline hallucinating, shakes, my body would wake me up maybe an hour after falling asleep in sheer terror, drinking more wouldn’t even help it go away, the whole 9. Hospital gave me Librium and something for the stomach issues, fluids as well.

Weirdest part was I had maybe a big bottle of wine per day, and probably 4-5 shooters.

But I’m thinking like after being clean for so long how did I get one of the worst withdrawals I’ve ever had after only 4 ish days of drinking? I wasn’t on any meds like I was in the past so not interactions, I “tried” to stay hydrated the whole time, idk it just seems odd to me. Curious on your opinions.

Also I’m back to meetings and determined to not go back. Honestly not sure why I slipped up but I truly hated being drunk but just had to keep going to survive after the first night. I do suffer from anxiety and panic in general so maybe that was a catalyst.

Thanks all.

Is she cooked?

Very dim, adjusted all the settings nothing. Got it for free at my local recycling center but it was definitely thrown into a bin. Any hope or just donate it to someone who might have more knowledge on fixing it? I’m guessing the green color is shot? Tried cleaning the inputs and using different cords. Fair amount of dust inside but I haven’t opened it up. Any clue where to start or call it quits?

How to go about hooking up old consoles to the vga?

Found this at work, so far I’ve found a vga to hdmi converter, but is it as simple as getting a s video converter as well?

My experience with moving from iPhone to the tcl flip 4 / why it failed for me

Hey guys, phone addict here. Bought a flip 4 for T-Mobile, transferred my eSIM, texts and phone works fine. Group chats do not work (iPhone). Went back and followed the steps on the iPhone (disabling rcs, iMessage, etc) nothing.

My next step was ok let’s just try having an iPhone with no data phone plan to stop me from using the internet, YouTube, etc so much. Oh well you need data for iMessage and group chats. Ok Apple you really don’t want me to be free don’t you. So currently I disabled data for the apps I use, put my phone on greyscale to help for less distraction. That’s basically it.

So if you are in / need group chats you’re kinda screwed in that department.
