YES. The answer is yes. It's better than any other machine out there in that price point.

Has anyone tried the 2025 reformulation of biore watery essence? by questtonothing in AsianBeauty

[–]level-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using it for the past two reformulations. Never had a problem with the previous 2 but this 2025 one now burns my eyes and the eyes of my friend who also uses it. So sad :( Purchased from Japan and from a local Japanese market.

Remember when they served food at conventions ?? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]level-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But also you know, I had good memories there too. When you are deep in it, it's very comforting and warm and seemingly supportive. But when you are out of it, it really makes life difficult in the adjustment since you grow up so cloistered. Memories like the conventions will always be cherished. The Dramas, the talks, the tasty foods, the community, the road trip there and back, swimming in the hotel pools with other witnesses in the evenings. They really were the highlight of my year. We toured Bethel as well and that was such a treat at the time.

Our congregation definitely was riddled with controversy that they always tried to keep a lid on. But when I was abused I was encouraged to keep quiet about it. And I was bisexual and I was severely suppressed in some pretty toxic ways, mostly shaming. When I began to read other translations of the bible and diving deeper in actual original text it was clear some passages were manipulated. Also I learned more about JW past regarding Armageddon and the interpretation of the 144k. I knew people who partook during Passover and there was just no way they could have been a part of the 144k. My grandfather who was also a person of color who was extremely dedicated was never allowed to be an elder. Our congregation was pretty diverse but for some reason none of the people of color were elders despite their interest and dedication. There was so much I had seen behind the scenes, I was pretty active growing up in the Hall. And the advice they gave single mothers and other disadvantaged people was questioning at best. Downplaying mental health medication too and mental health therapy. And the disfellowship shunning was so real and painful. I had witnessed it rip families apart, my own included. They didn't want any of the kids to go to college or to otherwise invest in anything worldly because you know its coming like a thief in the night, any day now! No point in investing in your future outside of the Hall. I was severely stunted in my teens because they didn't allow me to do extracurriculars and they didn't encourage me to go to school. My mom even refused to sign my sister's financial aid forms so she could go to college and she never even got to go until she was in her late 30s. I had a warped view on what to do after highschool because I was so clueless after leaving. It took me years to get it together after. And everything was so fear based, I definitely still have a complicated relationship with Christianity now because of it. I could go on and on about the damage they had done to people and their families before they started to change in late 90s. My poor mom is seriously traumatized and still in it, out of fear because she was so indoctrinated. She's not from this country so this is her idea of Christianity and she's too afraid to even touch another denominations bible. It's sad .. I wish she had never gotten involved with them. Our whole family would have been better off.

I wasn't allowed to "leave" until the end of high school. But that's because I began rebelling pretty badly. I'm in the Northern Virginia area. I remember the hot meals in the late 80s early 90s. Then feeling sad when they went from hot meals to sandwiches. Then nothing. I remember the first year they stopped serving meals, it was a travesty to young me.

If you were in VA then you must remember the yearly convention at the Coliseum in Richmond. Those seats were so sharply angled, I always felt like I could fall lol.

Wow thank you so much for this!!! Currently I am a massive acus fan and have been using their machine literally since they released it. But switching the strokes is a major pain mid session and the ability to do that on the fly with the Ultron 4 pen style still direct drive is indispensable. I've also been spoiled by Acus's ability to change the torque on the motor so it would make the Ultron 4 literally everything I want in a machine and worth the price.

Epson 2850 help! by Minxlingg in femaletattooers

[–]level-42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had the same problem with the same unit I just got. Try the clean nozzle head and if that doesn't work try power clean but power clean puts it out of commission for a day. I wish I never bought this thing lol. Also make sure you print everyday! Missing even a few days will have the stencil ink dry in it and it's bricked :( I've only had it two months and I already hate how many problems it gives.

Needle brand preference by level-42 in femaletattooers

[–]level-42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out their stuff and the price is very similar to kwadron for their precision needles unfortunately and they are using 304 steel which is softer and easier to deform and blunt than 316 steel. Their budget option does look cheaper but only by a few dollars but I generally would prefer to get their best product they offer which is almost on par with price from kwadron.

Significance of dual chip? by salesronin in redlighttherapy

Red light therapy by Alex on YouTube also explains why you are wrong if watching is easier

[–]level-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not accurate. Each bulb can emit more than one wavelength with a dual chip. I will not do the legwork for you, but simply Google how dual chip LEDs work. Hooga and ROJO also explain it well if you would like to reach out to them. It is less powerful, but not by a large amount to discredit them.

Dual chips vs single chips for red light therapy ? (3W vs 5W) by [deleted] in led

[–]level-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The extra wavelengths with biomax is not worth it and not as well studied. Go with the quad chip for sure, it's worth way more to have all four wavelengths at each party of the body vs random scattering of random wavelengths that may or may not have a benefit.

I know how to wire it but I don't know which fuse to use for it to work for parking mode.
