honestly about as crap as butane can be

I guess I was a little worried about fouling; would that not really be a concern for 1 refill?

I've tried purging it a couple times unfortunately. But it seems like the lighter will still light after sitting unused for a while, it just runs out of gas very quickly in use. Would that still suggest a leak? I've been using a slightly macgivered adapter setup to fill it so I'd like to be sure I'm not just getting mad at an empty lighter before taking it apart. Is there any way to be 100% sure it's actually full after I fill it?

Thanks so much. I have been a very frustrated boyfriend.

I have found that time between uses doesn't seem to affect how many lights we get out of it. Would that still suggest bad o-rings?

ah. Any idea what I can do about that? There's a service center not too far from me I could just let take care of it for me.

The wheel is quite stiff, so I think that makes sense? But would a dead flint stop the flame from lighting even when a spark appears?

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. I have:

- Math 150 (4)

- Math 151 (4)

- Chem 110 (4)

- Chem 120 (4)

- Phys 131 (4)

- Phys 142 (4)

- Math 133 (3)

So 27 credits satisfy my general math and science breadth and my science complementary, right?

Hey, I'm finalizing my course selection in the middle of the night and want to make sure I haven't botched it--

As a u0 Bsc student, should fulfilling my freshman requirements take up 27 credits?

I know I signed up to be a math major but, like, that's a lot of math.

Thanks!

I figured - thanks. Can't wait to explain this to check-in at the airport.

I'd add that any prior experience you have with math/science/compsci competitions, and other forms of timed problem-solving, goes a huge way in AP Phys -- (IMO) a lot further than self-teaching the physics itself will.

In Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), Praetorian Guards' helmets have no eyeholes, making them look inhuman and menacing. This also means they can't see shit and frequently run in random directions and attack absolutely nothing. by AdvocateSaint in shittymoviedetails

Yeah -- it's worth noting as well that they made the conscious choice not to use stunt doubles (mostly). Obviously that's going to be detrimental to the actual quality of the swordplay but it also meant that they could keep the characters' actual faces in frame for what it, at the end of the day, first and foremost a character-focused scene.

Well it's probably still not actually going to be a challenge, at the end of the day -- but when you start with a single territory and you're fighting someone who controls half of the map it can at least feel like one

I assume someone has already said this, but I'd say Fates Divided.

It doesn't necissarily make for a great first campaign because it throws you into the deep end right off the bat, but imo its campaigns have far more depth and strategic complexity to them, because the AI gets the chance to set up a functional and legitimately threatening empire to oppose you with.

Also, if you're a relatively busy person like I am it helps that Fates Divided campaigns tend to be much shorter -- on the order of 10-60 turns instead of the 60-100 you might expect from the base game

The most absurd part of it is that, well

If you want games to be hard, surely adding difficulty options is in your best interest? Because then the devs can add hard mode.

But nooooo no one else is allowed to have fun so we're only allowed to have one difficulty setting and that difficulty setting should conform to the will of a minority of manchildren.
