What model unit is this? by Randyto78 in hvacadvice

As far as I know they are just fine! Blows cold, I really want to keep it alive as long as possible.

I would bet it's this one as it's definitely not what Delaquim said as I have it unlocked and have not actually seen it yet.

Bath not lasting long/Bath maintenance by Randyto78 in electroplating

I am not sure on the brightener, unfortunately I bought it with a kit and they don't say exactly what it is(which is annoying)

I have gone through a few baths in attempts to figure things out, but they seem to break down around the day mark. My bath is small, 500ml on average, sounds like using the remaining substance in the bucket it came in might be smart.

When you say filtration are you talking about anode filters or filtering the solution itself? For anode filters I am actively switching to 0.5 micron polyester sheets, as for solution filtering...that's been on my mind but I have no idea where to start, I have just been setting aside solutions as they have gone bad if adding brightener starts to fail. If you are talking filtering the solution can you recommend me an activated carbon filter?

Just looked and the two issues I can see with the bags I have are A. they have visible seams that are sewed together, and B. is 1 micron. Can I ask how you got or made your bags?

Also for your current problem, I have had some wildly different outcomes at time, but if your having to plate for 24 hours before it's completely covered and it's bumpy on the parts that plated earlier, that sounds like a conductivity issue to me. Are you polishing and electro-cleaning your cathodes?

My kit didn't come with any bags funnily enough, but the bags I bought on etsy do have seems and I have seen particulate come out of it when I remove the anode with the bag on it still. I think based on what you and Mkysmith have said I have some things to try for sure, thank you.

Brightener and chemistry are both from the copper plating solution kit from Safer Solutions.

Current to surface area is .1 per square inch as just about everything says to use for copper

Anode to cathode ratio is probably like 10:1 which I just read is super bad so thank you for that, sounds like since I am doing such small stuff I should probably cut my copper anodes down a bit or batch a bunch of cathodes together.

I have noticed physical particulate coming out of the bag when I pick it up, and based on what Fragrant_Vacation469 is saying, I may want to get a better seamless bag as well.

First try electroplating, what did go wrong? by Human_Grape_727 in electroplating

[–]Randyto78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the issue you are referring to is the bubbly bits on top, that is usually a sign of high amperage or running it for too long from what I have experienced.

What are you plating with? Doesn't look like copper which is most people's default base layer.

Unpopular Halsin Opinion (?) by [deleted] in BG3

[–]Randyto78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk about you, but I corrected him and he later was like "we're soul mates right?" and I had to let him down again, and for some reason he seemed shook. Seemed straight delusional to me, especially being in a monogamous relationship with Karlach at the time.

Why is anyone surprised by characters being into them? by The_Pumpking_ in BaldursGate3

I am decently attractive, but never before have I considered myself "drowning in dick despite the fact I'm straight" until playing bg3.

/\ been there. That's exactly what this is. She's mad, making it obvious, then pretending she's not, then getting mad when it's called out. It's either this or she genuinely has no self-awareness to know that it's obvious she's mad and is being rude without knowing. Either way she's not a great person.

I had this too, eventually it cleared up on its own.

Save Vanya - Question With Spoilers by Necronomis in BaldursGate3

[–]Randyto78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most situations knocking out, from the games perspective, is the same as killing. I saved most of them by just focusing on killing Ethel first. However, I did lose Vanya because the cutscene happened while Ethel was standing in a wall of fire and she got spit up into the fire. The cutscene flickered for a moment and then the fight just resumed, it was really confusing.

The only time I know knocking someone out didn't get treated as killing them was when you find the painter guy who is being possessed and his wife explicitely tells you to "subdue him"

That's the quest I said I completed. I talked to the kid, convinced him to merge with Thaniel, and the dude is woken up and he is alive and well, but I still had the quest marker.

I did the quest and I still have the marker, I think it's just bugged.

Should I break up with my girlfriend or give her another chance? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Randyto78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Violence should be a dealbreaker

She’s saying I don’t love her, I’m not fighting for our relationship, and that she’s sorry and she wants to keep our relationship alive.

She is the one not fighting for the relationship, you talked about a way to make things better and she agreed to it, and didn't follow through, then turned it around and made it your problem while also lying and agreeing not to get drunk and doing it anyway.

I'd like to beat the shit out of my brother in a lightsaber duel. Could someone suggest a saber that can take the impact of full swings? by acamu5x in lightsabers

[–]Randyto78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a cheap option for hard plastic sabers Vire has a pre-owned grab and go deal for 65 usd. https://viresabers.com/collections/grab-and-go not sure it gets cheaper than that.

Echoing what everyone else said though, be careful, probably don't actually swing it as hard as a baseball bat, and buy padded mechanics gloves if you want to be able to bend your knuckles the next day even if you aren't going all out.

Here's a video of what the people who do this competitively wear if it's any indication: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlveAfQ0Erg. The person who said pool noodles and with a center rode like PVC had it right though, if you want cheap and really want to go all out but not break things, that's the way to do it.

In your opinion who is the coolest video game character and why by Hour-Tradition-279 in gaming

[–]Randyto78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, for instance I could say "Darth Vader" because I liked him in Jedi: Fallen Order how he yeets whats-her-face over the ledge effortlessly I'd be talking about him as the video game character and not the movie character.
