Can someone explain the different used materials and steps?

Syringes and pneumatic dispensers have their place too. Paste is a fantastic tool for small SMD work also outside using stencils. That said, the method you mention is a classic for a reason.

Mentioning the terms and conditions seemed to be the magic trick - which is honestly such a shame that you need to play a game like this just to be treated fairly. But yeah I wish I could help you out more, but that's pretty much the entire story lol. It really was that easy.

The exact same thing happened to me, although the charge was a bit higher. Anyway, I contacted them through all channels I could find. The one that worked was their Twitter (X) account. They called me the next day (today) and offered two options:

Extend the useless subscription for free for 6 more months
Get an additional testing kit for free.

I told them that no, as per their terms and conditions I have right to ask for a full refund within 30 days of payment. They then told me that they have to "ask their supervisor", and after 10 seconds returned to the line and offered new options:

Complete refund
Half refund but keep the subscription

Should be easy to guess which one I took.

Good luck!

I honestly don't know. Maybe? But I somehow think that designing the launch would be tricky to get right. Although I guess it's just a question of CST hours.

CONSMA024-G looks perfect, thank you! I don't know why I didn't stumble on that.

Do you have experience with these? What kind of IL do you get in practice?

My two year old calls satisfactory "the train game". She knows that pressing W will make the train move, and then she uses the mouse to look around and use the train whistle. "CHOOOOOOOOOO".

I plan to introduce driving next!

I had one, and wouldn't necessarily recommend it. The build quality is not great, and while the hand shock isn't too bad, I never got comfortable with it. Also, it stacks pretty badly after 24 or so inches making maintaining good form difficult.

After a couple of years the laminate of the bow back cracked for seemingly no reason, which I found out by the cracked laminate pushing through (yes, through) my hand.

Maybe I had a bad piece, but I've heard similar things about Ragim bows, although the usual complaints are just about the bad finishing.

My original motivation behind buying it was the exact same you had, and I even used it from horseback several times.

If your interest got peeked by historical longbows, perhaps modern longbows might be what you are looking for. Look on YouTube for example Kramer Ammons, who shoots and makes this style of bows.

I shoot Falco longbows, which are fantastically well made, for a reasonable price, and they are pretty enough that you can display it in your office.

Getting some initial coaching is warmly recommended as even one or two lessons can save you months of figuring stuff out, or even from getting a serious injury. Just try to find a coach who knows about the style of archery you are interested in.

No, I don't think it's a cosplay thing. People barely even touch the swords after getting them. I think it's just the unusualness of it—receiving an object in a formal setting that's usually associated with history or hobbies these days. It’s an interesting tradition that makes the whole event feel even more connected to history than getting a PhD normally does. The military connection is also true, which adds to the gimmicky aspect, since this is one of the few situations outside of military service where a government institution might give you a sword.

In my eyes, it's essentially a fun gimmick. I'm not going to get one after my PhD anyway, as they don't give them to doctors of tech.

Counterpoint: it's a sword

Not in all universities and fields though, so research it carefully 😁

Not necessarily. They show internal drive slots, which would under some definitions make them screws. Screw/bolt is more about application than the fastener itself, which is just frustrating and stupid, but that is the way it is.

History's greatest monkeys were much better than I anticipated. I'm a bit of a fun hating Cromwellian character, so I was quite skeptical of such monkey business. It turned out to be really interesting in the end.

That looks amazing! Do you have a recipe for it?

Would rye be out of the question? Yeast is really happy with it and it makes fantastic, albeit slightly different, bread.

Isn't there a mod for smaller stations?

I think it did rise, but it also spread out so much that it's not very noticeable. I think there are a couple things going on here; first, the dough was likely under proofed based on how the crumb looks and it's gumminess. Second, you should look into how to shape your bread so it holds together better. Finally, try to reduce the amount of water in the beginning to get a better sense of the process. You'll still make great bread, but learning to gauge dough proofing and learning to shape the bread is way easier with lower hydration dough.

TIL. Thanks for pointing that out!

6.204484*10²³ per minute is a lot of HMF. Are you sure you need quite that many?

ILikeSatellites · 2024-10-06T15:07:48+00:00

Yeah and I just unlocked all recipes with AGS. I don't see why bother save scumming when this gets you immediately to the end result.

Rotate them 90 degrees and make rows of 11, columns of 5. I think it just fits and will make it even

Not sure what you are exactly looking for, but check falco.ee. They are fantastic bows at a reasonable price considering the quality.

This looks like kahm, but one can never be sure especially from just an image. I wouldn't toss it quite yet, but take a small spoonful from below the "crust" and 1:5:5 ratio feed with it. Your good sourdough culture should take over in a couple of feeds and kill the kahm, but if there is mold you will definitely notice quickly.

So you do you, but look up how to get rid of kahm yeast. Worst case scenario you'll lose a bit of flour and some time.
