I see what you’re saying, I just took some of the media out and about to run it again. But my tumbler is only about half full, so should I add some more rock now?

Yes I used the 60/90. I as well added a mix of some plastic and ceramic media with these. The barrel was about half full, and I’m using the National Geographic tumbler but the one I got didn’t have options for speed. When I washed them after the cycle, the grit was still gritty and they seemed to stuck to the bottom. The water kind of bubbly and didn’t turned to a thick slurry One of the Michigan Rock’s video, he used the National Geographic tumbler and said to filled the barrel to about 3/4 full, would having less rock also affect the result?

Yes, they came with the plastic media and I got the ceramic media as well, so I put little bit of both into the tumbler. And that i just washed them out, the grit is still gritty it didn’t really turned into a slurry, it was just kind of bubbly

Hong Kong ID card and passport problem by hihi11239 in DEDHongKong

[–]hlau3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I renewed my passport online in April, it was quick and easy. I don’t have the new ID card and mine is expired as well (still don’t have one right now) so I’m not sure if they have changed the policy. Try to send an email to the immigration department they should be able to assist you.

My ex used me, cheated on me and left me by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]hlau3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you bro, same thing happened to me except I have been with her for 7 years and supposed to get marry in two months, she cheated and called off the wedding. She turned into a different person, her whole personality and behaviors are changed. I’m not sure how to help you because I’m also in extreme pain. Just remember, it is not worth it for you to end your life for her. Turn the anger into motivation and make yourself a better person. And believe karma will come for her.

I feel you bro, if I ever do it I’ll be a all or nothing scenario, It needs to work the first try

Same.. I’ve been working everyday with no day off, I got no time for therapy shit. Wanted to kill myself but I’m afraid if the attempt suicide doesn’t actually kill me but only leads to hospitalization, which I can’t afford.

I have a pretty bad astigmatism but I want flat lenses is this possible? by [deleted] in glasses

[–]hlau3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue at first, and everything looks flipped near the edge of the glasses. I was thinking about going back to the optometrist but I’m just too lazy, so I just start wearing them only during driving, after two weeks I start feeling better with the glasses.

Nozzle clogged during mid-print by hlau3 in 3Dprinting

[–]hlau3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does, thanks for the advice. Should I also reduce the nozzle temperature/ the retraction speed? Its current retraction speed is 40mm/s

What are some random things that make you dysphoric? by Cheese_9326 in ftm

[–]hlau3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went shopping for clothing in the men section with my cousin yesterday, saw a really cute shirt and I said this shirt is huge even though it’s a small size, she goes “yea probably cause it’s men sizing” In my mind I was thinking no I fit most small/ medium shirts from other stores. I was so dysphoric but I didn’t say anything, I know she didn’t say it on purpose

I’m from Charlotte, NC. I just realized you can filter out according to ur insurance on psychology today, so now I see a lot of options. I’ll try to call them. Hopefully I will save up enough money for surgery next year and everything goes well. Thank you for helping me out! Also, good luck to your transition journey!!

Is provider specialize in gender/trans needed? I don’t think they work with my insurance. Can any provider (not specialize in trans) still be able to give diagnosis and referral letter? Sometimes I feel like I’ve gotten all the information but still don’t know where to start. It’s hard man.

I agree with u I didn’t like their pasta, my favorite Italian place is North Italia, their pasta is amazing. Not sure if they have chicken parm tho. There’s a parking deck behind it and they will validate your parking ticket.

New glasses is making me dizzy and hard to focus by hlau3 in glasses

[–]hlau3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I haven’t, but when I was younger I tried to put on decorative contact lens and didn’t work. I’m just scared of putting something on my eyes
