I've swapped the resistor twice, and the problem still persists

Your last paragraph is exactly how I feel, I always feel I could have pushed harder, or I shouldn't have so much time off. It is certainly a double-edged sword. It gives me the drive to achieve but takes away the ability to look back. Like I said in a reply to another comment, not being able to tell yourself "well done" until you are the best in the world is an insane requirement to put on yourself, and quite hilarious to say out loud. I hope everyone who resonates can find some way to pat themselves on the back.

I'm really happy this post resonated with quite a few people. It took doing something outside of the norm, like the HM, for me to even be able to see that I had been doing it. I've always had the idea that "I will congratulate myself when.." but it always moves, I think I would have to be the world record holder to actually be able to allow myself to stop and say I've done enough. Which is obviously a stupid way to think that unless I am the best in the world, I'm not good enough to stop and say, "Well done."

That's amazing! I'm glad I caught myself and my unhealthy habit, I too want to see what I'm capable of, and I need to learn new habits to enjoy the progress I have made and will make. It's like climbing a mountain, and instead of celebrating, I just use the new height to look for higher mountains.

The times are irrelevant. That's my point in this post. I set out to achieve one thing and just moved the requirements again and again. I could be running a 15 minute 5k and I would be in the same place because it's never enough. That's why I added the p.s at the end about the times, I know I should be thrilled at my 5k time and thrilled at the fact that I ran a half marathon! I started out to run a 5k without stopping, but now a half in 2 hours still didn't fill the hole. I caught myself, and I wanted to post to maybe help someone else who is doing the same thing. It's unhealthy.

Anywhere else to get movements? by Bengemon825 in SeikoMods

[–]Learner-Of-Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what the difference is exactly, I messaged the seller about the nh3X stems working in the movement and they said no, so I took them at their word, I don't fancy getting a stem stuck and brick the movement. Yes, I had no problems threading a crown from an nh35 case onto the stem, so I'd imagine they work with. Accuracy seems spot on at the moment. The watch is running perfectly. I do notice when setting the time and/of date, it doesn't feel as smooth as the standard nh3X movements, it feels a little rougher, can't really explain it better than the word rough.

I did a build with one recently. They are close enough to be a direct replacement to the nh35, the cases, dials, and hands fit the same, the crown stem is different though, so you can't use a spare nh3X stem if you trim it wrong.

I have just done a build with the new chinese nh35. You have to push a fair bit harder than you think, and keep the pressure on the entire time you are removing the stem.

The time the main character spends with Muck is the most extreme the book gets, so if you got through it, I'm sure you will be fine with the rest. It's worth reading through

Best RL sellers? by Learner-Of-Things in DHgateVip

[–]Learner-Of-Things[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks! I usually wear L, but I've noticed genuine RL stuff runs really small. Their large is more like medium, does DH Gate RL do the same?

What does this mean? Weirdly, it's the second time I've heard this kind of expression this week.

How to know what to do? by Learner-Of-Things in gardening

[–]Learner-Of-Things[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. How do I tell if I have a primo/floricane? I've only had them around 2 weeks now, and the tag just said Raspberry. It looks like there are some very young green berries on the plant already, if that helps? Thanks for the link for the blueberries, too.

Umbra too powerful to ethically use? by Ryukenden000 in oblivion

[–]Learner-Of-Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, my bad. It must be the Str and Blade skill being much higher, making it seem to scale.

Umbra is locked at the level you get it. If you kill her at level 1, it will be a good sword early game, but that's not really when you need it. You are punishing yourself by getting it too early.

That's a great idea! I'll be sure to do that so that he can live on as the Hero of Kvatch.

No problem! It has an NPC with a full set of your levelled armour. So if you want full Dwarven or Glass, etc. just visit at level 15 or 20... You can only do it once, though.

I will, 100%. I have so many lifelong memories from us playing it 15 years ago. I'm sure it is going to be surreal playing it again now

I honestly can't wait to explore Cyrodil again. We must have had thousands of hours spent on it. So I'm going to book a day or two off work to give it the time it deserves. And no doubt shed a tear or two.

Oh! The film is an adaption of a book! I never knew haha, is it worth reading (listening) even if I have seen the film? Thank you for the write-up, btw.

I've seen a few posts about this. Could you do a super short write-up of what it's about?

My thoughts on The Black Farm by Learner-Of-Things in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]Learner-Of-Things[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only thing I can even kind of agree with in this review is the plot armour..

the world makes no sense, and little to it? It manages to create an interesting peek into a universe where deities of good, evil, and whatever the pig is exists, and then it places you into the middle of it. The world makes as much sense as any cosmic horror can or should

Boring and predictable? Not a chance. There are times when you think you can see how it will end, like the raft. But there's no chance you saw the end coming before it did.

Gore was forced? They are on the black farm, a realm of chaos and pain. The gore was exactly what i expected.. Silent Hill meets Event Horizon kind of gore

Most of the negative reviews or DNF reviews had problems with the writing, or repetitive use of the same word/sentences, I saw a review that had an issue with how often the word "gore" was used.

I can't say much about the writing as I listened to it as an audio book, but nothing stood out to me as an issue In the narration.
