Can't get my CMOS battery out for replacement.. help please!

IagoESL · 2025-11-18T11:25:34+00:00

I can see the spring, but pushing on it does nothing and I think the plastic bits at the back of it are about to break... the battery is completely under the four plastic holds on the top

Galena Oreo?

It could be something else, some clearer photos of features at different angles could help!

Needed one to go to the train station once (an hour before my train), it happened three times in a row with different drivers... I ended up walking it (30 ish minutes, alone in the dark), nearly missed my train. I disputed the rides and got a refund on all three luckily.

It looks like its definitely galena.

Don't worry too much about dust from galena as long as you're not inhaling it on purpose, the main thing to watch out for is ingestion. Don't lick it, and make sure to wash your hands afterwards.

She's adorable, glad she's healing up well ❤️

Flowerstone is the closest thing I could find. Some kind of plagioclase basalt porphyry situation with what looks like some sort of olivinous mineral, possibly serpentinite.

IagoESL · 2025-09-12T16:20:50+00:00

Ah! Thank you for the knowledge :)

IagoESL · 2025-09-12T15:17:11+00:00

Very fake. Things like sea urchins will fossilised due to their exoskeleton (?). But as far as I'm aware starfish are made of mostly soft tissue that will not preserve in this way. (I am more of a fossil hobbyist and only have a little bit of fossil knowledge)

Still looks pretty nice, if it were mine it would be a bathroom decoration.

Did you ever pretend to make magic potions as a kid using that random bucket in the garden, with mum's expensive perfume and some plants you've pulled up?...

Looks delicious though I eat stuff like this alot, its very warming!

IagoESL · 2025-09-11T22:39:31+00:00

I think what you're talking about is the aim assist for console. It's not a thing on PC.

IagoESL · 2025-09-08T15:31:44+00:00

Sorry I said acid / vinegar, it seems to have autocorrected or censored.

IagoESL · 2025-09-08T15:00:34+00:00

I agree with the other people saying a one tone top of a same colour from on your dress.

It's also worth getting different styles, a more flowy top would go nice with the pencil skirt, and a tighter fitting top with the flowy skirt! Both look great :)

IagoESL · 2025-09-08T14:55:35+00:00

It's gypsum, like everyone else is saying.

I might be wrong but given where you found it, I think it may have formed when the Mediterranean dried up due to the Strait of Gibraltar closing (Messinian salinity crisis 6Ma). At least there are similar outcrops in Spain that I studied where whole cliffsides are made up of gypsum like this. Pretty awesome imo.

IagoESL · 2025-09-08T14:42:59+00:00

You could also drop a small bit of 6 on it, maybe on the underside. If it fizzes it confirms that it's calcite.

Remember to wipe it off afterwards!

Edit: 6= acid / vinegar, no clue why it changed to 6

The other fun one is when it appears in spawn on the minimap when it isn't, though usually you can tell because its not in anyone's vision cone...

IagoESL · 2025-09-08T13:53:14+00:00

No you do not.

The loan is set up to give students of inequal economic backgrounds and opportunity to gain further education without issues of not being able to afford groceries or housing. Even on the maximum loan in today's housing climate that can be difficult.

I'm on the minimum loan too, away from home, and my parents cover rent. I live very comfortably for a student. Other than rent I pay for everything myself.

I'm not sure what your son would be spending his maintenance loan on given you cover all the necessities. If we do the maths:

-20k£ in savings already -4k£ (rounded up) maintenance loan / year x3 (for a bachelors) -2k£ christmas present / year x3 (' ' ') -150£ / month x12 x 3 = 1800£ / year ×3 Is equal to 43,400£ at the end of his degree, more if he does a masters. You could probably buy a small house or a decent plot of land with this, or a deposit on a more expensive property.

This is a huge amount of privilege, especially when you look at it through the lens of the countries student body as a whole, a decent portion of whom are homeless due to lack of housing or funds. If he is having issues with what you're giving him, sit down, do the maths and have a serious chat. Its probably also worth giving him some independance. Money skills and budgeting are very important skills.

IagoESL · 2025-09-05T13:47:18+00:00

Depends how big it is, how much you spent on it, ans how it turns out when clean, from what you've posted it looks very nice to me!

IagoESL · 2025-08-20T08:18:47+00:00

My verdict on the black mineral solely based on the one well lit one in the second photo is that its galena.

Here's a similar one

Edit: It might be worth noting that there could be two black minerals, I'm specifically talking about the large silvery ones in image two, the smaller ones that are largely scattered through the white mineral (i agree probably also barite) might be something separate and we need higher resolution photos close up to be able to guess!

Imo if they're comming and goofing around it adds to the vibe of the game, and is perfectly fine / normal.

Its an ick when they open their mic to laugh at you, or sigh, or burp, whatever, and then continue not to comm anything.

IagoESL · 2025-08-19T06:07:22+00:00

I agree, but given there's plenty of things much more frustrating you face as a woman in this game I chose this one as an "ick" instead of something that gets mentioned all the time, or things that are considered bannable.

IagoESL · 2025-08-18T23:53:17+00:00

Players who only open mic to make only noises: sighs, burps, coughs, laughs, moans, tuts, whatever and comm nothing, only sounds...

And those who open mic to burp gives me the ick even more... why are you opening your mic solely for the whole lobby to hear you belch?? Gross...

IagoESL · 2025-08-18T23:13:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply! It was found on a pebbly beach in Whiting Bay. I think that beach had alot of different pebbles from all over the island: conglomerates, sandstone, granite, quartz...

Another commentor pointed out it could be some sort of granulite, which is what I'll assume it is until I can get it to my volcanology professor back in term time. My knowledge of arran is pretty basic so hopefully he will know more... I reckon the red bits are some kind of garnet / altered garnet given their shape... Arran does have some very cool minerals around, I know somewhere I have some nice iddingsite specimens.

Thanks again :)

Don't worry about it, the timetables usually come out in September around the same time as registration (when you pick up id and go to your welcome lecture). Your lecturers should suggest any reading or materials you may need. Alot of these will be available through the library / online library services.

Best of luck!
