what is wrong with me?

Good info to have out there! There’s a 0.0% chance of me switching to Windows, but if you’re going to run it this is the best way to do it.

Also might want to change the shitter links to xcancel.com or something so that people can see the whole thread without having an account at that torment-nexus-ass website

Yessss! So glad it worked!

To explain the confusion: I actually pulled the entire lead tube out before separating the collet from the lead tube, (the main body/grip of the pencil is a separate piece of plastic!) so I had plenty of room to grab the collet with tools. However your way might be better, since as I recall it took a fair amount of force to pull the lead tube out the back, and after doing it a few times the two halves no longer seem to click together and stay very well.

yeah that’s definitely the toughest part… the collet needs to come out the front of the pencil, it can’t fit out the back. It is barbed (visible in this pic if you zoom way in) so it digs into the plastic pretty damn well, but it can be pulled straight out.

I basically just used brute force. it should be pretty safe to pull straight outwards on the collet by the ring part (the part that moves freely) since that way there’s no bending, its all metal on metal, in tension, and the thin members of the collet are pulled snugly together and stressed evenly. you can use a small pliers but you don’t want to squeeze too much. either grab the ring head-on and squeeze enough to get a grip, or use a sufficiently tiny pliers to grab from the side between the spring and the collet ring, not squeezing basically at all and just hooking the jaws of the pliers under the ring and pulling out. Some wiggling/wobbling the collet (while still pulling outwards so nothing bends) as you go could help but will probably make the fit looser when you go to put it back in so don’t go overboard.

I don’t think there’s a great way to push it out from the rear either, since behind it there’s a narrowing of the hole in the plastic to about the same size as the one on the back of the collet. Maybe if you had just the perfect 1.5mm rod or something but it would probably just buckle.

not in NY but I will bump

oh. on desktop at least it only “breaks” that one tab and re-opening the site in a different tab, or clicking on the homepage and then refreshing both gets it back to working.

Are you using it on a phone with it saved to your homescreen as an app or something?

if you just mean it isn’t following ohms law thats to be expected for a big inductive load. ac gets weird with wattage since with non-resistive loads the current draw will not perfectly align with the sine wave.

becoming a prepper but just for HRT

probably a deleted account then

I knew a guy that worked at UPS and he said they didnt pull stuff and give it to law enforcement unless it like, broke open and was visibly drugs, or stank of weed bad enough they couldnt pretend not to smell it. But there might be programs at a higher level for cooperation, idk, and I’m sure they cooperate with requests/warrants

on one hand mail has maybe more legal protections against interception, on the other hand ups doesnt give a fuck about you shipping drugs and doesnt have this shit

incredible ageism/misogyny on display in that headline, christ

Once again the title of this paper from 2014 nails zionists:

“Even a Freak Like You Would Be Safe in Tel Aviv: Transgender Subjects, Wounded Attachments, and the Zionist Economy of Gratitude”

(its not actually that relevant in this case, buuuut: zionists and homophobia name a more iconic duo)

you could probably convince me it was lol but no thats a different anna: https://x.com/annakhachiyan

Hasbara: Anyone who even says the word genocide is Hamas

She did a fundraiser for Palestine and they told her it was too little too late and that she didn’t give a shit about Palestinian children.

A kids content creator using their platform to fundraise for a worthy cause that is (though wrongly,) seen as highly controversial and political is great. Its not revolutionary, but its productive and its normalizing in a way that politics-focused people speaking out is not. Why the hell was she being harassed?

yesss we’re back! I’m hyped, very interested in getting some boards made and soldering them up once its consolidated onto one board

seems like it’s particular to the person and their hair/skin but what I’ve gathered is that you take the machine and a tweezers, insert a fresh needle into the holder. lightly insert the needle at the root of the hair, parallel to the direction the hair is coming out. you basically just let it slide in until it reaches the root of the follicle, where it will meet some resistance. Then you trigger the pulse with the foot switch, and see if the hair will come out with the tweezers. if the follicle is properly destroyed, it should slide out with basically no resistance. if it does not come right out you can increase the power and try again, dont pluck it ofc.

Doing it to yourself is gonna be pretty damn challenging or impossible on many parts of the body but you could maybe find a partner willing to help. Seems like there are training videos online that might help learn proper technique as well but I cant vouch for any specific ones

I dunno we have at least one poster in lebanon, idr where in the region theyre originally from but they have an interesting perspective in the news mega
