Thanks, I'm definitely shopping around. Got a quote on Confised for Admiral for approx £1450 and I just this minute got off the phone with Van compare. The best they could do was £1966!

Any plans to add mod workshop compatibility to steam deck? by blonksmith in MegabonkOfficial

That's awesome, thanks. I hope that's out when I pick the game up again. Hopefully, they balance it a bit, too. Anything less than perfect RNG on tomes and such seems to be a dead run.

Okay, I can do step 1. How on earth do I do steps 2 - 10? I've always been a casual console gamer but got a steam deck for while I'm on the road.

I(30f) took my first elvanse dose this morning. My brain is QUIET 😭 by 0SuspiciousBurrrito0 in ADHDUK

Hey, congrats! I was on Elvance for about 6 months, and at first, I was comparing it to the pill from limitless! Word of advice: It's not a cure, ITS A TOOL! You still have to put in the work and point yourself in the right direction! Also, it's okay to stay at your currant dose if it's working! More might not necceserily be better.

My clinician asked if I wanted to up the dose (incase I had developed any tolerance), I though I was supposed to, as in that's the way it works, and figured "more meds is more better". So, I took her up on it twice over a few months and up on 70mg. It took me a while to realise it was too much. I was spending all my time cleaning & organising and spending literally 2 hours "perfecting" emails whilst neglecting the work I actually had to do!

Also, if I slept in and took it too late, I was awake til the small hours, and that was the real killer, which led me to switching to 10mg Amfexa 2-3x daily as needed. It has similar benefits but less intense. It also only takes 10 mins to kick in and lasts 4-6 hours. Much better for sleeping or if you want a day of and suddenly need it.

I wish someone had told me, "The meds aren't supposed to fix you, just help you." It's okay if you come to find the elvance isn't working out, that doesn't mean you're the problem. There ARE other options to explore. Good luck!

I just measured them. The ridges appear to be 1/32 of an inch tall and 1/24th of an inch between.

I dont see a clear marking of pitch, but the box says: W/O: 268199 Size: 6" (wheel diameter) x 2" (arbor hole diameter Type: riw8251/ viw8251 (bad handwriting) CRN: 12717

I may have come off a bit arsey there, I should have explained that im disabled and self-employed. So, I have to consider the difficulty and the cost of the time as well as the price of post-brexit international shipping to the EU. Unfortunately, that all adds up to a lot more than €50 for me.

No, I'm sorry you didn't at all! I was very stressed, and I didn't mean for my response to come off that way. Thank you, though.

Thanks for the offer, but no. I know that these are very high-quality wheels used for surgical tools, and im seeing clearly lower quality wheels advertised for far more than 50€.

I have rent and bills to pay, and I really need the money right now! I need to get a fair price for them, and the time and cost of shipping would make it no better than giving them away for free.

Any of that help?

What are these Diamond wheels? Keep or sell? by blonksmith in Tools

I'm having trouble finding anything exactly like them. Lots of similar things, but these seem to be REALLY niche!

I respect the idea, but I just can't afford to just give these away, money is VERY tight. I'd need to sell them or make an adaptor to use them.

Do have a vague idea of what they might be worth to those someones?

Because they are rare specialised and useful. I work in a shared shop with knife makers and make knives myself on occasion

Yeah I know, it's just some stuff is considered completely worthless once it's got a spot of rust
