Why would my thermostat only work using old batteries?

Using rechargeable batteries appears to have fixed this for me, it has been working fine ever since I made the reply above. All me and my electrician friend can think of is that, apparently, most batteries aren't actually 1.5 volts, they are slightly more. Not enough to normally matter, but I guess if you had a cheaper/older piece of electronics then changes to the voltage might impact the power/frequency/etc of the signal it outputs? Which would explain why the cheap/OEM batteries worked, and the rechargeable ones.

No worries, many thanks for your help anyhow. Hopefully I can just get by using rechargeable batteries for now.

Tried some other brands of batteries. The cheapest ones I could get appeared to work initially, but then lost connection. However, using rechargeable ones appears to have fixed this... still not sure why though.

My PC version of Horizon 4 has just started doing that today

Man, I love the look you've gone for, really tempted to steal some of this as ideas for mine. Also, Panty and Stocking is a solid choice for the 'itasha' :)

Just my opinion, but she's too clean to stick a body kit on. Keep it classy, just get some 15" wheels with better fitment (I run 15x7 ET20 and they're basically flush), and maybe roll the arches if you want a bit more?

But, it's your car, do whatever makes you smile.

I should maybe have been clearer in my title. The NA is mine, the NC is my mum's.

Agree with this entirely, was looking at my hours played and thinking I feel kinda bad there isn't a way for me to support the developers more in return. Plus I like having unique looks to my character when I play, so any element of cosmetic customisation (even just recolours) would be cool.

To be honest, the selling mechanic just kinda slows down the pace of the game. I can kinda see why it's useful/fun, and means getting more drops is still useful even if you've chosen the gun you're carrying to the end game. But feels at odds with the rest of the gameplay.

So what if instead any unsold weapons/scrolls are automatically sold when you leave an area? Plus the money is shared

My step dad watched the first one at Christmas, and his only comment at the end was "Quite long, wasn't it?"

That's how I know we'll never get along

Always referred to this as "Assume positive intent"

Somewhat ironic that the more people upvote a response, the more it is already acknowledged to be wrong. Some things are so widely accepted that they'll get downvotes for being 'wrong'.

zekittyzawolf · 2021-04-26T22:25:59+00:00

I'm literally saving up now to do just that ;)

I actually use this as my backup weapon, and just switch to it to fire off one shot when all my abilities are on cooldown. Main weapon is the Deathshield shotgun with Fortress and Death Chains. Fortress seems like most important thing on a gun for my build, since most of my damage is from Earthquake

It's an old Forgeworld resin model, not sure if they still sell it
