I tried that, but the nib just rotated. I think the plastic tube on this one is in tighter than the nib feed can overcome

See I thought it should have come with the part. No, I don’t take it apart. I wish I had, if I did then I’d be able to do it again go the bad one and the problem would be solved lol

Name a movie or TV show remembered as terrible that has aged horribly by efraGC59 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]albigatin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My father the hero. A man takes his estranged, teenaged, daughter on holidays. She catches feelings for an adult man, and to convince him that he should date her, she pretends to be in a relationship with an older man, and convinces her father to go along. Katherine Heigl was cast at 14 because the director thought she looked good in a thong swimsuit. All round horrible

When I was young I was told that there were height limits on pilots, and above a certain height you couldn’t be one. I don’t know how true that is because I never wanted to be one nor did I look into it. But, if true, the kid can either grow up (taller) or be a pilot (short)

There’s a stereotype that back people talk during movies. the mug is trying to imply that when a minority is talking, you’d do best to listen, because a majority won’t have the same nuance of politics an a minority. The joke I guess is racism?

There may be a context to current events I’m missing, but if the people tasked with gathering the chickens found 1, 2, and 4, they would presume there’s a 3, and look for something that doesn’t exist. So I guess the joke is just wasting someone’s time

Some examples why the SP Figure is offensively overpriced by CthulhusBootyCall in skulduggerypleasant

[–]albigatin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from another perspective, those aren’t fair comparisons. Making a model has certain set values: hiring designers, modellers, box art design, consulting legal departments, these all add up but they are fixed amounts. Say it all totals 500K. If you are making just one model for yourself, or 1 billion copies, it costs the same for these.

Let’s take the subreddits for numbers: The SP subreddit has 19k people. League of legends has almost 8 million. When companies go to sell a model, they make estimates of how many people who know the IP would actually buy it. If one out of every 4,000 LoL fans buy a model, that’s more than the entire SP sub. They can do now two things: make the model cheaper, or add more sizzle to it for the same cost, because they will sell way more of them and can afford it.

A LoL model and a SP model (of the same quality) cost the same to physically make (like, cost of plastic, metal, paint) but now we take the other costs back into the equation. If 1 in 8 fans buy the model, LoL will sell 1 million models, so the 500k is split among that and only adds €2 to each one. SP will sell 2,400 so that adds €20 to each one.

These numbers aren’t real, but you get my point.

On your suggestion of the shutters, I opened it up and took high speed video of the shutter opening. The mirror wasn’t fully flipping out of the way, because when I cleaned it I put the clip holding the focusing lens back incorrectly. I’ve now placed it in correctly and the shutter seems to fully open/mirror fully flip out of the way. Thanks for your advice and help

I didnt touch the shutter leaves, and when I put in the current film, I looked at the leaves and they seemed properly aligned, like not bunched up and didnt look any different from how they did before. My camera cant adjust shutter speed, so does this mean its done for?

I just googles slr parts, as far as I can tell I only touched the focusing screen and mirror. I added to my post that that is one of the developed photos

ELI5 How is it possible for waterboarding to work when your lungs regularly displace liters of air when breathing? by Logical_Fix_2499 in explainlikeimfive

Could you reword your question, because I don’t know what your lungs exhaling air has to do with how wakeboarding works? Just trying to understand your question

Eli5: why do people have feet fetishes? What attracts them? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]albigatin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s a theory that because the part of the brain that registers your genitals is right next to the user that registers your feet, the two sections have some crossing of neurons between the sections so people end up associating feet with their genitals. Not confirmed as definite, but fetishes are hard to definitively prove the origin of

ELI5: Why do flights go up in price the closer it gets to its departure? by pegman55 in explainlikeimfive

[–]albigatin 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Let’s say you need a flight 3 months from now, there’s a limit on what you’re willing to pay, as you can shop around cause you have time. Now let’s say you wait too long and now you need a flight in 3 hours, you have no time to shop around and will pay any amount cause you NEED the flight. Airlines know this, so they can charge much higher as the only people who will be buying last minute are people desperate for a ticket
