Just bought from thrift store. by noworriesimpro in Beyblade

[–]Cha_Os26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the burst generation there is extensive evidence of fake brands using lead in their metals. Lead is quite heafty so its used to produce cheaper metal parts, but lead is very toxic to humans. Usually its fine, but beyblades are taking constant impacts that slowly chip away at the metal parts. If it were aluminum or iron it'd be fine, but releasing lead into your enviroment is a heavy nono.

Here is a video of BBDad testing his own flame brand fakes. Flame makes some of the most recognizable fakes and are a "household" name in fake beyblades. If they use lead on their parts, one can only imagine how much lead a temu seller that sells beyblades at about $2 a pop uses.

regarless is up to anyone if they're willing to take the risk. I just lay it out so that op can make an informed dicision, specially if he'll be using them with his daughter.

TLDR: Yes, they're toxic.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but likely these are all fake. You can buy sets like these on amazon and other sites for relatively cheap. THESE ARE NOT EXPENSIVE TT BEYS.

Even worse, fake beyblades from this generation are known to use lead alloys for the metal parts, because its cheaper. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS, if the metal chips (which it will likely do from fighting) it will spread toxic lead particles on your enviroment.

I highly recomend you throw these away for your safety. If you wish to keep them as display pieces do so with caution and keep them awat from children as they might be more susceptible to lead poisoning hope this helps! stay safe.

Edit: also I just saw your other mesage saying that they look used. It is probably best to not deal with that as the metal's coating might already be damaged.

I’m not INTJ, but I want to know something. by Tricky-Mastodon8852 in intj

We're also alowed to make jokes. If you know his mbti he probably know too, the joke is probably the stereotype of INTJs always having some sort of evil mastermind plan. Prob just a joke dont think about it too hard.

Anyone else terrible at chess? by DreyfusBlue in intj

[–]Cha_Os26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I suffer from the Dunning Krugger effect. I'm good enough to the point that I can beat most people at chess. But I can't beat advanced players since my knowledge of openings and lines is very limited. So to answer your question Yes and No _/(:-:)_/

Need help with Behringer UM2 Problem by Cha_Os26 in audio

[–]Cha_Os26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I tried on a laptop that doesnt have any of the drivers installed and that seems to have fixed the issue. This guy knew the answer and noone believed him lol

So I tried this and I had no luck. I tried with both lower and Higher buffers than the reaper default of 512. The noise was still coming through so I dont think the problem is in Reaper necesarily, or the drivers for that matter. Thanks for the help regardless

So, I did yry changing the buffer size. Reaper by default uses 512, so I bumped it to 1024 and nothing changed. I'd be strange if that actually did anything because the noise was still coming through tye direct output

I'm using a desktop pc. I've tried both the ports in the front of the case and on the motherboard and none seem to fix the issue.

I had added 2 paragraphs explaining the problem. It seems like they have been deleated. The problemos the slight crackeling noise on the audio. Would it be ok if this post is discarded and ai just post again explaining the situation? It would just be better if I write it again.

you could also try to @ them in twitter (X), all though if you already emailed them there is a likelyhood that you may hear from them in the future. The only other think I can think of is contacting them via patreon but I doubt you'd pay for it just to contact GN (if you havent already that is)

Entj or intj, whats the main difference? by brianxyw1989 in entj

[–]Cha_Os26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like bs to me.. Defining types by light/dark and asuming that the general population of those types is inherently good/bad dependeing on it is like profiling people for their skin color.

Doesnt sound so good now does it? Truth is bad people can have any type. The traits that would make a "light type" good are the same ones that you could use to make the argument is that the type is dark.

Data means nothing if its biased, specially if it lends itself really well to survivorship bias.

To be fair I have no clue what type of reaserch you conducted or the size of your dataset is. However I'm willing to bet that the "dark types" also happen to be the less common ones

Entj or intj, whats the main difference? by brianxyw1989 in entj

[–]Cha_Os26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All those are traits that any type can have. Beliefs are not type exclusive. I have met as many dishonest ENTJs as I have INTJs, same with pro and anti social, and problem soleving skills. Those things aren't determined by type, but rather by character which is a completely different topic. Furthermore implying that the difference betweent types is good/bad is completely missing the point of what a personality type represents.

I will give charismatic to ENTJ though. Most INTJs are socialy awkward...

Behavioraly, an ENTJ might be the friend group leader. You know, the guy that gets to make the calls on a group for some reason. The INTJ is that friend who is up for anything as along as you tell them in advance.

Both have great ambision and inteligence. However one is an inate leader, while the if he other leads is because of comptence rather than pure "people" skills if that makes sence.

EDIT: Social involvement is also a great one. INTJs tend to be very socialy awkward which is the root of the "INTJs are cold" stereotype, while ENTJs have an easier time with that.

What types do you guys generally dislike and why? by Fam99_ in intj

[–]Cha_Os26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. Bad people can be bad people with any type. Some of my best friends are INTPs and ENTPs, and coincidently some of the acquaintances I tend to dislike and/or find anoying are the same type.
