    Just plain ol' LXDE.

    Reo Lounge Part V

    I use Debian for the same reason I use a Reo. It's just simple and dependable. :)

    Reo Lounge Part V

    I can be a pain at times. I installed Windose 8.1 in Virtualbox so I can run stuff that doesn't play well with Debian. Mainly Netflix and Family Tree Maker. I haven't really put much effort into getting Netflix going on Debian. I probably should.

    Reo Lounge Part V

    I have mine setup pretty basic. I don't really like a lot of bells and whistles. It basically looks like a 64 bit Windows XP. I started using ubuntu in 2009 when I couldn't find a wifi driver for a laptop I had when I was trying to install XP on it. After using it for a few months I just...

    LFS sounds interesting. Debian is pretty customizable. That's why I started using it, but there are limits to just how much you can throw away and replace.

    Debian "stable" here with LXDE. I have downloaded Slackware to install in Virtualbox and try out, but I still haven't gotten around to it. :)

    Maybe it's just because I'm cheap, but I just can't think of anything you can do to a cup of coffee it worth $6. It's just coffee you can get it all over town for a little over a buck or make it for pennies.

    Reo Lounge Part V

    I am a big coffee drinker, But I don't consider myself that picky. I usually make Folgers at home. I would take Folgers or the average convenience store's coffee over Starbuck's any day. Some times convenience store coffee is bitter too, but I didn't pay $6 for a bitter cup of coffee.

    When I was working on a ship, I may have partaken in a little CC. It was readily available and you could always find it by the flagon. In the eyes of a sailor more alcohol is better than good alcohol.:p

    I'm pretty sure they push putting all that stuff in it to cover of the taste of crappy coffee. I've only drank Starbucks once. I got a simple dark roast and it was one of the worst cups of coffee I can remember. Very bitter.

    I used to use a "monkey fist" all the time when I worked on a ship years ago. It's a type of knot tied around a weight so you can throw a rope further. You throw it attached to a tag line to the dock, then they use the tag ling to pull the mooring lines to the dock. I think I really need to go...

    I remember when 2ohms was average. Low was 1.8 or sometimes 1.5ohms. I like a moist vape so I go with small attys and high ohms.

    I've vaped at 2.8 ohms but, you have to let it warm up.

    Depending on what you like 2 ohm may be fine. I vape at 2-2.2ohms usually. Congrats.

    Yes it will work. drip tip end, but you are just looking for it to fire at this point.

    Reo Lounge Part V

    Yes if you raise it too high the atty will sit too high but it should make a connection and fire.

    Not to but in but I would also pull the button cover off until you get the connection problem figured out. That way you should be good on that side of the connection. Turn it to lock when you put it back on.

    It wears about like any other clear coat. I've used it on guitar finger boards. It held up as good as the original lacquer.

    I used to work on guitar a lot. You use CA glue for tons of stuff on guitar repair from finish repair to actually gluing stuff. I usually had 3 thicknesses and a slow cure and fast cure. You can also use an actuator to make it cure on contact. I probably used it for finish chips more than...

    Also if the upper contact sits harder against the button it doesn't turn as easy, so it doesn't auto lock. I bend or straighten mine so they don't auto lock. If your a button masher they will slowly bend down and have a auto lock problem.
