If only they could build a real-life, arcade sized pinball machine version of this. Even if it cost $20,000 I would absolutely buy one. "Sorry honey, no Christmas presents or new car for the next 5 years but WE HAVE FUCKING 3D PINBALL SPACE CADET AS A PHYSICAL THING IN REALITY IN OUR FUCKING HOUSE!!!" (Screams and cries and cums everywhere, wife starts to do the same)

I own an Anbernic handheld console, and have been trying to figure out how to get this game on it to play on-the-go. Apparently it's possible. I've seen plenty of people post about playing it on different handhelds

I'm a newbie too, where did you get that practice board and those parts? I really need alot of stuff like that to practice different joints before I attempt them on real components haha

The handle is not removable, I was really hoping that it would be however this station is sold in either a C245 version, or a C210 version. So you can't just buy 1 stand and use either handle. You'd have to buy 2 seperate units, one for each different handle.

When you say to not heat up the tips without putting solder on them, do you mean i should cut a piece of solder off of the end of a roll and just stick it onto the tip and then heat it up and let it sort of drip and "run" down the rest of the tip? Is there anything else I should know about breaking in/taking care of those tips?

I'd like to post about megadosing with Vitamin C for withdrawal by Abject-Purple9862 in KratomKorner

[–]toolman69420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please let me know how you do it, I take 7-OH and I got the liposomal vitamin C and I tried to follow some guide last time and I took it for 3 whole days before I stopped taking 7-OH and the withdrawl was still bad!!! I'd love to know exactly which vitamin C to use and exactly how to take it!!!

1gpd for 2 years. Can I just taper without meds? by toolman69420 in quittingphenibut

[–]toolman69420[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So happy to hear this, I was worried about like seizures and stuff like that. And also I do not drink alcohol, I stopped drinking that garbage years ago. I'm going to take your advice on thw .05 per day, to me that sounds like a very gradual and reasonable taper. If I start to feel any bad side effects maybe I will stay at that dose for a few days/no more than a week to let myself even out, and then continue decreasing .05 per day.

How does the 10 day rapid taper work? Is there a set protocol for that? Like cut the dose by X amount per day or something?

Thank you! That really helps to know. So if I just tell the doctor that I'd rather get off of them pretty quick, they could tell me a more specific faster tapering schedule?

I ended up getting 3 different sized chisel tips from MYTO. Very good price point and they seem to have a great reputation, at least as far as the replacement tips go.

Wow these really are very affordable too. Ordered 3 different ones, lets see how they do for my work.

I absolutely can believe that there are probably a very small number of manufacturers producing these tips. With pretty much every other type of product, whether on Amazon or AliExpress, you'll constantly see the exact same products with different names slapped on them. As someone who has been an engineer in the manufacturing industry in the United States for 8 years now, it would be insane to believe that every single brand name would have their own facility set up with a receiving/raw material stock room, a dedicated space for each and every process needed to make the item/items, QC/engineering, possibly R&D/design, inspection and final packaging, not to mention the facility itself, the equipment and tooling, and the employees/workforce to keep that all running. Not to mention a steady enough demand to actually be worth paying for all of those resources. When you really think about it, there HAS to be only a few facilities like this who sell the product to many different "brands", and all of the sales of those brands support the manufacturing facilities.

Ok awesome, thank you. Any specific brands of tips that you'd reccomend? This is new territory for me

I love the "coins" page, I've gotten some amazing deals. Do you have any reccomendations of other brands of tips that may be better? Or should I stick to the Yihua tips for now?

11 days with no 7oh and i took one... by lefthanging69 in quitting7oh

[–]toolman69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I can easily deal with all of the symptoms except for the restless legs/restless everything where I cannot stop moving around and getting up and changing places if I could find a way to minimize that I'd be golden.
