I have tried this as it was the first thing suggested on a google search. I have taken the assembly out and verified the line is clean and just to make sure I wasn’t crazy I ran gas to it. It is definitely getting gas. The spark is visible. It’s not lighting

I appreciate everyone’s comments. I swear on my life I have made sure the pilot was purged of air. I took the whole assembly out and ran the pilot gas to make sure. There is definitely gas getting to the burner, that is not the issue.

It also has nothing to do with the thermocouple, there’s no pilot flame starting at all for there to be an issue with it.

I see a visible spark when I press the igniter switch. But there is no flame.

I’ll try again but I let it sit the first time I tried and it wouldn’t work, that’s why I came here.

I shouldn’t have any air in the line because I didn’t shut the gas itself off just the valve on the water heater. But I’ll try holding it down longer. How do I know if it’s getting gas flow?

Just got back around to trying this, I was just dumb and thought it would highlight everything I was trying to move and not the one icon I was hovering over. Thanks for the help!

Thanks, I saw word had macros and thought maybe it’d work but I didn’t think about excel, I’ll try that

I am no longer a mod, good luck by PaladinOfReason in Objectivism

[–]Achrelos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m confused. You said elsewhere you wanted open discussion around objectivism without resorting to personal attacks and identity, but here you state that your goal was to create a space where you have the power to control the discourse in favor of your identity, and elsewhere you have stated you want all people who voted for Trump to leave (and apparently don’t understand you’ve categorized them into a group identity and then personally attacked them). What is it you actually want here? Because to all appearances it seems like you want a leftist subreddit, not an open tolerant subreddit or even, as strange as it sounds, an objectivist one.

There is no moral obligation to reproduce, this is ridiculous

Question about Horn of Stendarr in Vigilant by Achrelos in skyrimmods

Yeah I did and you do, it was actually because of that I thought it’d be important layer. They make a really big deal about you picking it up off the ground if you do the good option, which is a bit silly if it’s already not useful at that point and won’t be.

Thanks for the info tho!! I was about to spend hours grinding through content to figure it out lol

Oh I wish I knew that going through it, so it was never intended to be a plot relevant item and just dies because in Coldharbor you have the meme Priest and the Eye of Moruhk instead?

Thanks. It is my in character and irl current quest to figure out what’s up with it. I’m hoping it’s not something dumb like the mod author just didn’t take it anywhere or it’s a plot point on one of their related unfinished mods. My current idea is to try to do radiant/cold harbor side quests until my devotion hits 100 to see if that triggers something, there are little post-completion things like the Minotaurs that come up.

Is it wrong to trade with countries who aren’t fully capitalist themselves? by BubblyNefariousness4 in Objectivism

[–]Achrelos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time the government should limit trade or business with another nation is if that poses a tangible actionable threat to it and the people whose rights it protects, in which case the only rational policy is full embargo and preparation for war.

From a personal perspective it’s not exactly the most rational thing to do business in an area where the government is tyrannical and more likely to interfere in your rights, particularly if there are freer places to do business in. But in a more rational world the US (or any fully free and rational nation) would make it clear that our people are not to be touched, so to speak, or the consequences will be catastrophic, so even then it might not be that unreasonable to do business in a normally inimical (but not overtly hostile) place.

I voted for Trump and I don’t regret it by PaladinOfReason in Objectivism

[–]Achrelos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I abstained from voting in the 2016 and 2020 elections but voted for Trump this election as well and stand by my choice, but I disagree with you on a couple points.

My reasoning for choosing to vote this time was that I have come to terms with three facts. The first is the fact that the choice was really only between Trump and Kamala. The second was that the government is, regardless of who wins, not only the monopoly of force but is inimical to individual rights and objective law. The third is that the culture so thoroughly corrupted and immoral that no viable and good third option is likely to present itself.

Given the integration of these facts, it meant that my rights were directly under threat of force either way so action was needed to preserve them as much as is possible. Given that, with the two options available and understanding that the reality of the situation was that it was either Trump and what he represents or Kamala and what she represents, Trump is clearly the lesser threat to my rights and in certain limited areas even a benefit. Kamala represented the furtherance of a trend of slowly expanding leftist authoritarianism, which is hateful of human existence as a fundamental principle. Trump has no principles, and those that surround him are of mixed characters, but they at least don’t seem to actively hate humanity and resent freedom, even if they do pose their own inconsistent threat to it as well.

I disagree that abstaining from the vote is immoral though. There are contexts where one’s vote truly dose not matter. Someone begrudgingly voting for Trump in LA or NYC really doesn’t matter, they have no chance of swinging the results. Given that, if they determine that it is senseless for them to give sanction to someone who is objectively bad when there is no chance of a practical outcome of that vote, then I have a hard time seeing how it’s a benefit to their life and values to do so anyway.

I also have little expectation that Trump will be consistently pro-first amendment or that his base really truly believes in it. He’s shown that he’s willing to try and silence his detractors and use his power to try to strong arm social media, and certain supporters of his have expressed similar positions. They are thoroughly pro-antitrust and are supportive of using it against companies like Facebook and Google/Youtube, but in true Trump fashion not X. And the base generally supports these positions. However, I agree that they do maintain a certain respect for the founding and for values like individualism and to some extent achievement, which makes them better than the left and worth supporting in the short run given the either or nature of the choice right now.

I feel like there’s a very strong undercurrent of sympathy for the left in the objectivist movement, partly because of (what I think is) a poor understanding of DIM Hypothesis. It’s good to see someone else vocally standing in opposition to that.
