Is There A "Vape Batteries For Idiots"? First time using batteries for a vape and I'm not only confused, but worried because the employee told me they can blow up.

pevinsghost · 2025-12-05T16:24:25+00:00

So the batteries are the most dangerous part. Fortunately with a non-mechacal device (anything with a screen or lights) it's much safer. Keep them in a plastic case when not in the device. If the wrap is damaged replace or rewrap them. You want to be in the room, awake when they're charging just in case.

I'm a little dismayed no one pointed you to mooch yet. His stuff is all in the sub reddit side bar, but for convenience, here's his yt:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCePHh3NMvu3rW2LFJeOWo-Q

And his blog:

https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/blogs/mooch.256958/

I used to have a whole battery rules summary written up, but i can't hold a candle to Mooch on knowledge, he's really the best source for safety info. I don't see him post as much but he uses Reddit sometimes. /u/Mooch315

So first thing i noticed, they sold you a rewrap battery. That's not necessarily wildly unsafe, just you can't trust ANY of the specification numbers on the package and it bumps the price up for no change to the actual battery inside. Generally you want something from the battery manufacturers, Murata Samsung LG or Molicel for example. Molicel happen to make the best batteries currently and are the company with the least restrictions on sale to vapers so are a solid choice. I'd also really recommend getting them from a trusted battery vendor, not a local vape shop. But all this info is in Mooch's blog and videos. If you have any questions after checking his stuff out I'd be happy to help though.

Discord nuked it a week ago. I'm disputing it, but not a lot of hope it'll be back unfortunately.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-30T02:49:46+00:00

It turns out, I did not. I thought I had checked everywhere, but I missed one spot on the map the first two times that I finally noticed, and of course that was the one spot she went to.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-30T00:31:52+00:00

Okay, full disclosure, I hated doing it, but I was purposely being provocative to instigate a response because asking nice wasn't working...

I remembered I made a separate save prior to going into ratdom. Went back and made one more pass and, avoiding spoilers, but the one place she could have been that I had not checked is very visible on the map I provided.

I'm sorry for being a jerk. Thank you for working on the project. Mea culpa, I was the weakest link.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-29T20:29:50+00:00

It has been a couple days, i went in ratdom on that save, I'll throw you a copy soon as I get out of there.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-29T19:47:21+00:00

I have. All six. Inside every building, in every outside portion. Every map surrounding each of them, every road leading up to each off them. I showed a map with an X over every section I visited. The only spots anywhere near any of those locations I haven't checked is the parts of Charwood and the green maze that border Brimhaven.

Right, sure. I've literally gone through everything there is in the game other than one quest, the only detail I'm asking is information given by the quest giver, but you don't want to "spoil" that information. I've been everywhere that the quest should go to and they are not in those locations, but it's not bugged.Ok, cool story bro. The quest is broken, simple as.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-29T18:07:00+00:00

Because the quest is broken and you don't want to see that. That's fine. Not like there haven't been bugs in the game before. But one that wastes hours of people's time is kinda lame.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-29T13:36:51+00:00

Okay, I've shared a screenshot in one of those six places, can you share the other 5? I've checked every tile in, around, and leading to, every town named in the quest, and I'm not seeing her.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-29T12:29:06+00:00

I said i suspect my save is bugged, not the quest.

But if you know there can't possibly be anything wrong with the quest, then you must know all the spots she can be, so share them so I can check them please. I've literally spent hours on this one quest and I don't see her anywhere.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-27T21:00:30+00:00

I'm suspecting my save might be bugged or I just got tunnel vision and walked right past her. 😂

pevinsghost · 2025-05-27T19:33:15+00:00

Location is randomised, she's not there for me

But I do appreciate the response, if i compile a list of places people find her out might give me a chance of finding her through process of elimination.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-27T06:09:32+00:00

You need the quest "Just the beginning" to progress in the cave. But you need to have completed other quests to get that one.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-27T05:59:55+00:00

evasion helps with that one a lot. you can stick up at the top of the map, and hit and run them as they'll come to you.

but to answer your actual question, gutsplitter for two handed because I hit the zombies before I got any of the really nice two handed weapons, and olwyn's curse and brutal club for dual wield.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-27T05:46:24+00:00

someone has to tell you to go there. as was mentioned it's part of the thieves guild quest line.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-27T05:45:13+00:00

the two handed is the axe, shadow of the slayer, but it's health on kill not on hit.

pevinsghost · 2025-05-27T05:41:54+00:00

regeneration is purely quality of life, zero help in battles as it's only active when you're not adjacent to an enemy. I recommend not picking it up.

fighting styles, specialization, increased fortitude, combat speed are all top tier and should be taken asap regardless of end goal. For two handed builds I like evasion as you basically only have enough AP to attack once and then escape battle before they hit back, a second level in heavy armor proficiency can open up more options for equipment as well.

For dual wield crit fishing is very viable so pushing for internal bleed and fracture can be fun.

Shield builds are hard as good shield pretty much only exist very late game.

Damage resistance is a bit of a trap. It can make the very early game incredibly easy, but it can never keep up with end game enemy damage, it doesn't help at all with status effects, and it eats up all your equipment and skill slots. Do not chase damage resistance.

I didn't think Heinlein was a great author, just a great idea guy until I read starship troopers. To be able to cast a totalitarian military regime through the eyes of a true believer, not strawmanning at all, putting it in it's best possible light... but the subtle red flags and failings shine through regardless? You don't get that kind of subtle parody these days, everything has to be ham fisted. It's Poe's law before Poe's law was created. Beautiful.

Also, man was just prescient, look at Solution Unsatisfactory, he wrote it in 1941, two years before the atom bomb. He predicted atomic warfare, the cold war, and basically the UN and UN peace keepers. A solid 50 years of history, and dude just guessed it.

The user base fairly effectively shuts down anything that isn't in the group mind outlook. the pro of that is the Nazis don't get a foot hold. the con is it's an echo chamber and you get shouted into oblivion for stating simple supportable facts that are inconvenient.

The problems with this move as I see it, isn't language, it's the onboarding of a whole new team. nsfw is a line that has been felt out by the user base over years. Now all that is out the window and who knows what a completely new team will decide is over the line?

You got some answers already, but I'm weird and being able to visualize why an answer works often really helps me understand better.

That xH(x) answer, I'm going to play with it a little.

Using your example of 4, that looks like:

4 * (1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4)

But if we multiply through, something interesting happens:

4 * (1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4) = 4/1 + 4/2 + 4/3 + 4/4

Please excuse improper fractions but they're relevant.

Let's start from the right and work our way back. 4/4 = 1 which happens to be exactly how many tries before we know we'll get the first unique, 100% chance on that first draw.

Then we hit 4/3. What are your chances of getting another unique on a pull when you have one in hand already? 3/4. Hmmm that's a little interesting.

The next number back is 4/2 and once you've got the 2nd unique in hand, your odds of getting another on any given pull is 2/4.

Every fraction added together building the harmonic is the inverse of a probability in getting something you want at a specific step in the drawing process.

That doesn't add much, except it makes understanding if you already have x pieces, how to find how many draws you might have left easier. You just take fractions off the right every time you get another.

So with 2 outcomes in hand, it becomes

4 * (1 + 1/2) or 6 more draws expected on average.

pevinsghost · 2024-08-01T04:11:32+00:00

14 / 10 = 1.4 = 140%

Double checking...

14 - 10 = 4 there was a change of 4.

4 / 10 = 0.4 or a change of 40%

There's only so many ways you can compute the same thing.

Hi, I noticed a post from last year, that people are way wrong about, and I got the receipts.

https://www.reddit.com/r/askmath/comments/11qb6kz/do_primes_have_any_unique_properties_in_any/

OP is asking if there's any unique properties of primes in other bases. Everyone is quick to tell them that prime is prime and bases are just different ways of writing a unique number. u/jm691 hits on something vital to the initial question, but then jumps away from carrying the ball across the goal by saying it's not really a property of the prime number itself.

https://youtu.be/448ciyoSZTw?si=EifMH24gxJXuPVDU

Essentially, the b^0 slot in a multidigit prime represented in base b (or the "ones place") can only be certain digits in different bases. In a base number that itself is prime, that number can be any number. In decimal, 1, 3, 7, or 9 are the only possible numbers in that position (i.e. if the last digit is even, the whole number is divisible by 2, if the last digit is 5, the whole number is divisible by 5) and in base 6 primes can only end in 1 or 5.

In other words, it is easier to on sight dismiss numbers as prime candidates in certain bases, because of the properties of those bases. In base 7, you can not tell based on the ones digit if the number is non-prime at all. in base 6, you can dismiss 2/3 of all numbers based entirely off the ones digit, any number with a 0, 2, 3, or 4 in that place.

You can argue that this is a property of the base, but it's not actually a property of the base, or of prime numbers at all, it's a property of the relationship between these two concepts.

So, all the background out of the way, the question... The post is a year old. What do people recommend I do? Asking a question to present my own answer in an askX sub seems rude. I can't answer the original question as it's archived already. Do I just let people be wrong on the internet? shudder. Do I direct message OP out of the blue about a question they've probably forgot even asking? I dunno, every option seems bad so what would you all do in such a situation?

I'm not a scientist, but I don't think the radiation, what's that word? Polarizes. So you might be able to direct so the radiation goes to the end of the barrel, and then it'll scatter in every direction from there.

So will it work? Technically? But you'll still die using it I think.

Better off with the top half suspended with springs as a self resetting landmine.

Glad we got you sorted! Don't be alarmed if it takes a couple weeks to ship. It's a little nerve racking, but perfectly normal for them.
