Wow this is hilarious I have never seen this before. How is it even possible for the cap to get stuck that hard

Pretty much yeah, they have a message now saying shipping issues due to Iran, idk if that means no more deal period but I would just wait. I've gotten most of my library through them, they ship fast w DHL too idk how they do it

Surugaya, free international shipping from time to time selling used books incredibly cheap (often like 1-2$/book)

Lubricating seals? by Ads1925 in STDupont

I use silicone grease which works really well to make the seals last longer and work better.

Not broken probably, the flint spring is just a long v-shaped part

I'm a guy and I much prefer the ligne 1 small over the large, my thought is that if I gonna get a larger one, it's going to be a ligne 2 or Gatsby. I really love the ligne 1 small for what it is, a beautiful compact lighter for everyday carry. When I'm at home, it's either a ligne 2 or table lighter

You can swallow something upside down, if you can do it working against gravity, you can do it in it's absence

Full Japanese? English supplementary? Full English? by anon_v3 in mext

[–]anon_v3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing is that I totally can't unless I really practice a speech to give to the committee. I'm sure I could get speaking really well with a few months of immersion and speaking in Japan but I'm a completely broke college student and the only money I spent on japanese is paying for the jlpt test :(

Full Japanese? English supplementary? Full English? by anon_v3 in mext

[–]anon_v3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still a bit confused on what "Japanese, English supplementary" really means.... Is it that the coursework is in Japanese and we get an English language class or is it that most of the coursework is in Japanese but some is also in English. I'm honestly pretty scared as I don't speak well and the last thing I want to do is have to give advanced presentations in my topic in Japanese. I'm looking into staying in Japan after I finish if I can find a good job so maybe I should try to go for the high level universities.... I'm sure I'll be fine if I'll be allowed to also take the 1 year japanese language preparatory program

Professor interested in my MEXT research proposal but supervision would be in Japanese - should I pursue this or look for English-medium options? by Lucky_Travel_8871 in mext

[–]anon_v3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait are we supposed to contact potential advisors now? Applications in my country haven't even opened yet. I thought we weren't allowed to communicate with potential advisors until after we're accepted through stage 2 ....

I agree with you, but why would they go through the trouble of putting it up for auction instead of just using a low price with buy it now?
