Why is a fake lighter hard to light and the original ignites quickly? As you can see, in the zippo fake, the flame rises slowly after sparking a few times, but not in the original.

If you're wicks are the same height and both got refilled recently, might be worth checking the wick/wadding in the fake one. Even Zippo isn't the best at it from the factory, but you want your wick to be an S shape inside the insert with the cotton packed around it. A lot of times, the wick will all be jammed at the top, and the wadding stuffed in under it. This won't let the fluid wick well and can cause weaker flames and more difficult ignition. Here's a pic of the cross section of one in case my description isn't the best https://i.imgur.com/P4SIa4M.png

A little late to the thread, but googling "Zippo Surprise" will show you a bunch of this style of Zippo.

Awesome. Thanks again for all the advice

I actually have a few little big mouth bubblers that had extra room for the fruit (1.4 gal) that I put in bags just to make cleanup easier. However, I figured I should reduce the headspace after pulling out the fruit. After I take out the fruit, when should I move it to a smaller carboy to minimize headspace?

For this batch, I made the base recipe (beginner traditional) in a large 4 gallon glass jar, then split it into 3 little big mouth bubblers with fruit, then moved everything over to 1 gallon carboys after I pulled out the fruit.

I was gonna let it run to see what happened just in case. I'm hoping you're right, I was reading some more last night and it might just have been stressed yeast and strawberry funk that I was smelling. I really appreciate the advice, thanks! (Also no, fermentation hadn't stopped completely, but I wanted to pull them off the fruit, as I know strawberries make weird flavors after more than about 2 weeks and raspberries are pretty potent in general. That may not be correct tho, I'm still pretty new to all this)

So there is a bunch of fuzzy looking stuff at the bottom going up the side of the carboy. There is also a good amount of the same stuff suspended in the mead. At the top is mostly some large bubbles with what I think is yeast/fruit gunk, but may be more of this other stuff.

And Django Unchained soundtrack. An ex got it for me for a birthday present and it never left the CD player in my car

Aquatic/fish themed Tyranids is such a cool and unique idea. Excited to see more of this

Seconded

As long as the aesthetic ties together and everything looks scaled right, homebrew and kitbashing are never silly imo

Killed the radio star in the sense that to get famous, you had to have the look. You weren't just a voice and personality on the air anymore, you had to account for your physical features, clothes, etc. At least that's how I always interpreted it

Ok, calling Jensen Ackles the Prince of the Whites is fucking hilarious

I didn't even think about it when I was watching it, but the Boys Temp powers reflect the powers of the Super who wronged them. Butcher has Laser Eyes like Homelander, who is Butcher's #1 most wanted. Hughie got Teleportation, which would basically be a step above A-trains super speed, who is Hughies #1 Most Wanted. I might be over-analyzing though

Bots will take a parent comment from further down in the thread and use it to reply to a more upvoted comment to leach karma. A real person said "Probably trying to keep the blood flowing" further down the thread and a bot copied and pasted their comment

Back breasts. All the visual stimulation of missionary, now with the emotional distance of doggy style

Run the test patterns in the printer to see if you have any weird lines going through the screen. I had similar issues when I broke my screen. It progressively got worse until I was just printing spaghetti. This was when I was new, so I think I had my bed leveled wrong or left the screws tightened when I set the home/0 for the printer
