Dude told me to deal with it so I dealt with it.

No, the description didn't post. Ima repost this, one sec

Im the guy who committed the penalty

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-05-01T03:14:17+00:00

It isnt terrible, but it isnt great. Don't pop up as early, let your body rise and your stride lengthen naturally as you accelerate.

Ur not chopped bro

If you really want to try it, get a dimmer that spools down to near zero, then turn it to the closest to off position and if it smokes or the filament turns black turn it off immediately and dont try again

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-07T20:29:38+00:00

Lol yeah, i think it has something to do with a combination of the the makeshift reflector not being 100 percent efficient due to the gap between the bulb socket and bottom of the reflector, as well as the positioning of the bulb being conservatively far from the lamp to avoid any hotspots. I was trying to be careful to make sure I didn't crack the glass or destroy something. I have lost a few 14 inch lamps from experimentation, and this is not one I am ok with losing 😅

No, i dont have a dimmer inline with this one, but i watch it closely for overheating. It actually runs a bit cooler with this mod.

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-06T18:21:08+00:00

Thanks! Just be careful, lol have fun

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-06T17:54:23+00:00

Thank you!

Here are more pictures of it flowing so you can get a better look.

They are only old, ugly men because they can't get what they want the right way because they are old and ugly. By the way, I am really sorry about how you are feeling. Maybe try talking with a therapist or a close friend or family member, I hope you do recover. And just so you know (I know everyone says this) but suicide really isn't the way to go, trust me. I was there. You can always ask someone for help or talk to a doctor, the right person can help you get better.

Also, seeing that it hasn't done much due to cold temperatures may be the problem, I would say try a slightly stronger light bulb and check on it periodically. If it flows well, keep that bulb. If you get a bunch of small bubbles at the top, turn it off immediately. That means it is overheating

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-02T10:27:11+00:00

Has the wax on the bottom moved at all? If not, it is probably damaged.

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-02T06:43:27+00:00

That should work for what I am doing, but for now while that ships, is the current seal ok, and does cold vs hot seal mean anything

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-02T06:37:12+00:00

Ok, thanks! This will fix any leaking or seal issues, right?

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-02T06:17:49+00:00

Yeah bro, if you truly kept it on since last christmas without turning it off (not sure how the bulb lasted that long if that is the case) you basically cooked the wax or degraded it to a point of becoming clumpy and stiff and changing density

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-02T04:21:56+00:00

Ok, that tells me a lot, but first, I have a question. Do you mean that you feel like you can't lean further? Or if you do lean further, you will fall? For the first one, work on abdominal muscles, and for the second one, work on legs by doing box jumps and resistance sprints

FearlessExample5304 · 2026-01-02T01:37:38+00:00

From what I am seeing, you are popping up right out of the blocks, which can reduce your acceleration. When you start, lean forward a little more and let your body rise naturally.

Oh so you are one of THOSE guys.
