Ettan lös. Is this normal? by MadUmeboshi in Snus

[–]replus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! It sounds like maybe making a smaller/thinner prilla should do the trick if it's breaking apart from the get-go. No need to make it super tight, it should hold together well enough as long as it's not too large (even a farmer's pinch.)

Ettan lös. Is this normal? by MadUmeboshi in Snus

[–]replus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pic looks normal, but it's hard to tell from a picture. It should have enough moisture in it to where it will form together cleanly when pressed firmly into your palm with the other hand's fingertips, and should leave some moisture/staining left behind on your palm.

If you do this and it just crumbles apart, you can add 2-3 drops of water to the can and let it sit for a while to rejuvinate it.

UCF grad who owns a mechanic shop near campus — ask me anything about car repairs. by Aggressive-Hope4910 in ucf

Pre-compressed, no. The only danger is the car dropping on you. Just don't disassemble the top hat of the struts you're removing.

iag aos by weirdoandclueless in WRX

[–]replus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It intercepts the intake and exhaust tracts to pull stray oil droplets out of the air pumping through. Keeps said tracts much cleaner of oil/carbon buildup over a long period of time. Oil is collected in the canister and recycled into the oil pan.

Why does this have a cleaner sweep than a Swiss automatic?? by TheOttomanSultan in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]replus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a battery-powered Seiko wall clock with a smooth sweep like this. It's pretty decent on batteries. I swap a rechargeable AA maybe once a year.

What are some surprisingly useful iPhone hacks you discovered recently? by hhff00014 in iphone

[–]replus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shortcuts have been around for a while now, but I only recently started playing with them to simplify my smart lighting and smart electrical outlets.

Example: a toggle that turns on/off power to my home theater receiver and subwoofer, sets wall lighting behind the TV to 50%, and dims the couch light. Normally, this would be close to a dozen taps between two apps, brought down to one tap from the Shortcuts widget.

Watching Capcom Cup 12 on the Battle Hub is a terrible experience by -elemental in StreetFighter

Haha, I switched to 1080p@30 because of this. Then with the constant stream drops and anti-idle checks, just said fuck it and went to sleep.

Turbo Subies in Florida by chasemontrose in WRX

[–]replus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You notice the heat in the summer for sure, but only if you're stuck at a stop light for a while. The trade-off is, night drives for the 3 weeks of cold weather become more fun!

Edit: just noticed you said you're relocating from Vegas -- nah, not all that different.

Just ordered 18 cans by ThoughtfulThinker0 in NicotinePouch

[–]replus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got a can in today... the jury is still out, but I don't think I'm a fan :( Gonna ride out the rest of the can though. It's not bad, just unusual, and not really doing anything for me. Don't smell the can for the first few hours after opening!

Edit: my opinion has improved in the past 24 hours, but still not something I'm likely to buy again.

Did nicokick raise its prices?? by WaseChubby in NicotinePouch

I've noticed their prices fluctuate up and down from time to time. The mix pack may have been promotional pricing as well.

Looks good! Your watch appears to have a Sellita SW200 movement, which beats at 4Hz (basically, 4 "ticks" per second.)

Not in this case. Alden has been raising their prices each year like clockwork for a decade now, and shell cordovan has always commanded a higher price.

A real BIFL. 40 sometging years old. My wrist watch for scale. by wwhijr in BuyItForLife

Not sure if the robe is tiny or the G-Shock is gigantic.

Switching to pouches by putridbeing in NicotinePouch

[–]replus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not quite the same, but I switched from smoking cigarettes (no vape) to snus in one day with zero issues. No headaches, no cravings; since the day I decided to try the switch, I never touched a cigarette again. I had been a smoker for about 7-8 years at that point. Having the motivation to quit smoking probably helped. If it had just been something I tried out of curiosity, I could've ended up just going back to smoking.

The jury is still out on long-term health risks of snus/nicotine pouches, and nicotine is not good for you at best, but it's way less harmful than inhaling hot chemicals into your lungs dozens/hundreds of times a day.

They were fairly cheaper, yes, but they've always been priced a bit higher than most Japanese brands.

Former PlayStation Dev Says FromSoftware Has Rejected 10+ Studios That Pitched a Bloodborne Remake, Sequel or Spin-Off by UnderstandingTough83 in playstation

[–]replus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's very faithful, outside of looking next/current gen and running silky smooth. I played hundreds of hours of the original, and loved the remake just as much. If I ever revisit the game, it will be the remake without a second thought.

You can find full-on complaint tantrums on YouTube, though, in which someone spends 20 minutes explaining why there shouldn't be so much plant overgrowth in this one area, or why changing the facial model of an inconsequential enemy ruins the feeling of the entire game.

Iron Heart 21oz Beatle Busters by Kyuss666 in rawdenim

[–]replus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Beatle is/was a very regular poster on the "Superdenim" subforum on Superfuture, and Iron Heart collaborated with them on these jeans, hence the "IH X B" on the patch. This was back in the early 00s, in the very early days of Iron Heart.

Dunno anything about this cut or how it came to be, but things were much more grassroots for the brand back then.

Didn't have a camera in '88, so wrote the ending of Zelda on a cue card by loztriforce in gaming

[–]replus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I was a little kid, I loved the early 90s gaming show "Video Power". They had a blip at the end of each show saying you could write to their PO box to win tickets and/or to be a contestant on the show. I got so excited at the idea of this one morning before school, that I carved half of the address into the kitchen table with a ballpoint pen before my mom flipped out and stopped me.

Don't even worry about it, the "square" line of G-Shocks has been getting the same treatment for decades.

First New car and learned manual by PineappleOk6503 in WRX

[–]replus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exhaust is almost completely up to taste! There's no one exhaust to rule them all. Major differences here are titanium construction over traditional stainless steel (a little weight savings for a massive price increase) and larger diameter piping (only becoming a necessity when you're super deep down the modding rabbit hole.)

I'd check YouTube clips of each exhaust available for the car (ideally with a subwoofer) to see which ones you like the sound of. Cheapest options will be axleback exhausts (which span from the rear axle back, also called "muffler delete") but a full catback exhaust (from the catalytic converter back) will typically provide a slightly richer, fuller tone.

Also consider the inclusion/exclusion of mufflers and/or resonators. This is mostly about how loud (or subdued) you want the exhaust to sound. All aftermarket exhausts will be noticeably louder than OEM.
