Or, replace the barrel and molex, or maybe solder a couple wires, but where's the fun in that? You could instead replace a high dollar board & / or controller(s) to get back your otherwise basic functionality.

My dinosaur 5 Star Range cannot be beat. Despite the large knobs, it does everything I want it to do, how I want it done. No UX getting in the way to "assist" in deviating me from my intended settings.

I have had some success adding "forum", when looking for trade discussions; eg: controls & automotive. With all the walled silos on the net, this is much less useful with every passing day. On the bright side, I don't hav

I cannot sleep with anything on, or in, my head. Low volume, natural water sounds or classical music(sans vocals) from satellite speakers is my best solution for blocking ambient & tinnitus sourced noise. Also, may or may not apply: I h

"“That’s why I believe..." "Rogozin said Roscosmos’ proposals on when to end cooperation... would soon be reported to Russian authorities." Ambiguous and vapid words.

They only desist when I inform them I 'may' have had imaging done in the recent past. Back in AZ, many people I know visit Mexico for a day of eating, shopping & a dental visit. Not necessarily in that order.

Even better aspect of Moto GP, IMO, is you often get 8 or 9 different winners during a season, even when MM93 or VR46 were winning consecutive championships. This year's 1st race podium had 3 riders on it who were not amongst the top p
