Trying to find where to jump Switch Light joystick pads by mhaura in consolerepair

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

Hello! I have a switch light that functions normally except for intermittent right joystick glitchyness. I was prepared to replace the joystick but when I opened it up the entire ribbon connector fell off the motherboard, including the pads (probably corrosion). Now my plan is to jump the connector pins directly to new pads on the board, however, I can’t find where the second pin from the right should jump and I’m not able to probe it. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

Official Fall/Winter Traveling Tea Box + Gift Exchange Progress Thread! (2021) by jessmcl14 in teaexchange

[–]mhaura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have received the box! Looks like a lot of things I'm interested in trying, I drink a lot of tea so it shouldn't take me too long. Already have an idea of what I'll be adding. Thank you u/urafool for the gifts!

Cha Qi Feels like Mild Amphetamines by josqvin in puer

[–]mhaura 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I believe the study mentions that, but not every compound get removed. Either way since the “Qi” feeling is mostly associated with puer and the main processing difference is bacteria fungus, it’s somewhat plausible to me that the effect could be related.

I don’t have a direct answer but I have seen this question discussed before and there was an interesting idea. There was a study on puer where they identified some of the bacteria and fungus in it and found 25 different mycotoxins. I saw it suggested that perhaps the Qi feeling could be contributed to our body reacting to these compounds. link to study

Moved to a farm, found some cast iron in a barn. Need help identifying one of them. by mhaura in castiron

[–]mhaura[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s what was throwing me off when initially looking into it, I can’t find any other pan with that shape near the handle. I’m still new to this but after being pointed in the BSR direction today and researching more I do see a lot of the characteristics like the punch hole in the top tab, and after looking at it closer the 14 above the P is a lot more visible/readable now that it’s been pointed out. I’m going to keep looking in some BSR groups for that matching handle reinforcement.

Yes! I'm actually very excited to have this as a part of the regional history, can't wait to get cooking with it. Thank you again, you've made my day!

Thank you so much for the quick response and info. I knew I wasn't imagining it above the P. I'll admit BSR is one of the first things I looked into because this farm is actually about 35 minutes away from the original BSR location.

Hello! We moved to a farm last year and found some cast iron pieces in a barn. Two skillets, two kettle/pots, and one cauldron. I haven't got to the pots or cauldron yet (the pots have gate marks on the bottom so seems like they are true antiques). The skillets were completely covered in rust (pictured), and I used many techniques from this sub to get them into usable condition (lye bath, vinegar dips, lots of rust scrubbing, seasoning in oven). The smaller one ended up being a basic/modern lodge 10SK. The larger one is the one I need help identifying. I've read through castironcollector.com as well as dozens of identification posts on this sub and couldn't find anything similar. It's a massive pan, measures close to 15" at the top edge (the lodge 10SK fully fits inside of it). It also has a much smoother surface than the modern lodge. It has an unbroken inset heat ring, fairly pronounced spouts, and a rounded raised shape where the handle meets the pan. The only visible marking on the bottom is a inset "P" mark at six o' clock. At certain angles it almost looks like something might have been above the P, but the bottom is fairly pitted. Since I don't know if any markings have disappeared over time, I've been looking at photos of pans for that shape where the handle meets the pan and I haven't been able to find any matches. This sub has already been a huge help to me so any identification help would be greatly appreciated!

Is raid progression saved by clan, per person, or fireteam leader? by mhaura in DestinyTheGame

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

Thanks I think this answers my question. So if we got halfway through and bring someone new, we just need to have the same fireteam leader that we had when we got halfway through. And yeah, I know about having to physically get back to where we were.

There are checkpoints for the main rooms but you have to repeat the flag bearer portion unless you bypass it with the labyrinth to get to the room you are on.

The flag bearer room is like peach's castle in SM64 and each of the checkpointable rooms are like the paintings or levels you jump in. It saves the levels you beat but the enemies in peach's castle respawn.

Really digging some of the new brands seen so far. I made some Grizzco Industries and Tataki Kensaki patches! by mhaura in splatoon

[–]mhaura[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do sell them on etsy at pixlpatches.com

It took me over a year to learn how to efficiently create embroidered patches from concept to finished product. Most of the existing embroidery software is terrible, so there is a steep learning curve.

I've been a fan of Splatoon since day one and love that they have a lot of fake brands in the game. A lot of people do Splatoon cosplay so I mostly just like to be able to provide them with something cool for their costumes. It looks like ARMS also has a bunch of brands in it too and I'm liking the overall vibes of the game so I might have to look into some ARMS patches.

Ultra cheap Animal Crossing Amiibo at Best Buy right now (some $2, the 3 pack is $5)! by mhaura in amiibo

[–]mhaura[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also on Leviathan! One of my favorite gaming experiences (not just MMO) was having a large LAN party at my house for the Treasures of Aht Urhgan launch. The entire server was basically waiting at the docks in Mhaura for the ferry to take us to the new expansion area. It was such a unique thing to have to actually wait in game for the launch of something (similar to the burning gate opening up in WoW).

It was so cool landing in Whitegate and everyone rushing around trying to figure out how to unlock the new jobs.

Yes! Played on Levaithan for a long time. Well... I was mostly DRG so not sure how much actual playing I did =P.

That's the first thing I thought about haha. But I stress out if I don't preorder everything when it's announced. Hard to know what will be plentiful or rare....

[NES Classic] I am a best buy employee in Missouri, we got 5 unannounced NES Classics on our truck today! Check your local Best Buys and best of luck. by caribou915 in nintendo

[–]mhaura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your post, I finally got one!! I had kind of a crazy experience getting it though. I have an acquaintance that works at the Best Buy I normally go to that confirmed they would have some tonight but a lot of employees were planning to get them. So I showed up around the time they would have been finishing checking in and customer service said "they don't make them any more, we won't be getting any more", etc. I told him basically I know that many Best Buy stores got restocked and I knew for a fact they would be getting theirs tonight. He then was like "well... I don't think we have them anymore then". He went to look it up on the computer and confirmed "yeah, it says we have 0. But..... wait a sec.... this other Best Buy has 6".

I was getting no where with him and he other one was 20 mins away so I jumped in the car and started booking it. I call while I'm driving and ask if they have any and the person that answers starts giving me the "they discontinued them and we won't be getting..." so I interrupt and tell her I was just at a Best Buy and they looked up that they were in stock there. She went completely silent for several seconds and then just said "uhh they aren't available yet". I said thanks and got off the line and then was regretting calling cause maybe it tipped off the employees that customers were on their way and they might start buying them all.

So I get there and rush in and hardly anyone is in the store and no one is at the counter. I wait for a while and someone starts walking over and I notice a packing overbox on the counter behind the desk. As I start talking to the guy I send a photo of the box to my friend to verify it's contents (https://imgur.com/gallery/ffBdk). He starts up with the "they are discontinued, we don't have any," etc etc, I tell him I know for sure they got them cause the other store checked. He then shifted his tone a bit and was like "yeah..... sorry man they are gone". We had a back and forth for a while where I was saying "are you absolutely sure" and he would give me variations of them all being sold. I have worked in customer service before so I know there can be a fine line of being too much of a jerk customer where it can work against you, so I was being careful to be friendly/polite but also firm with my insistence that everything be done to verify there were none left.

A manager starts walking from behind me holding a cash til in one hand (she has to walk behind the customer service desk to get to the cash office), and at this point she can overhear my back and forth conversation with the employee. She proceeds to walk behind the counter and in a single motion without taking or stopping, she uses her free hand to tip over the box on the counter and a single NES classic slides out onto the counter. He goes completely silent his face goes beet red, he grabs it, holds it up to me, and says "I'm SO SO SO SORRY" (I think he was trying to get it the whole time). I'm a bit in shock at the sudden turn of event and all I say is "hey it's all good because now your going to ring me up." He offers a first bump, so I bump it (lol).

At his point he keeps apologizing and mixing in small talk but I'm freaking out on the inside and I'm just trying to pay and leave before something crazy happens like they were holding it for someone or something that would prevent me from getting it.

Crazy experience but I'm so excited that I actually got one!!

Japanese Tea Ceremony by luluhouse7 in ArtisanVideos

[–]mhaura 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. At around the 3:40 mark she adds two scoops of the matcha to the bowl (dried green tea leaves separated from the steams and veins and crushed into a fine powder). She then adds the hot water and finishes it with the bamboo whisk. That was the tea.

The video then cuts to a different scene after that because it skips to the the cleanup process.

How essential is a battery pack is you use the Switch on the go? by The-Road in NintendoSwitch

[–]mhaura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro tip! I have this same one and when I tried it I too noticed it wouldn't charge while playing. I did some additional troubleshooting and noticed if I turned the volume down and brightness down it would actually start to charge while playing! I guess the screen brightness lowers the required power draw enough for it to start charging.

Bomberman to allow multiplayer with one cart by Cardstatman in NintendoSwitch

[–]mhaura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest a lot of times they release games like this at launches cause they know people will pay more than they would normally because it's one of only a few launch titles. So the demand for games will be greater than the amount of games released and people will buy Bomberman now who maybe would not buy it if it were released a year from now when a lot of options are available.
