My wife has an iPhone, I have Android. I've easily bought her twice as many lightning cable replacements over the years, compared to USB C ones.

Micro USB is another story, that port never should've existed

Used to be the socket with micro USB, but USB c is much more resilient. And any damage usually occurs on the cable end and not the socket. So worst case just replace the cable

Literally better than anything I could do

You're welcome! Well it's more complicated than that, and I'll be honest I don't THOROUGHLY understand everything about it.

But the idea is to move the liquid from one canister to the other, that's why the "giving" canister is upside down. But because you're moving the liquid itself, you can accidentally fill the entire canister with liquid, no room for the vapor to expand into when it gets warm, and boom! So be careful. As long as you weigh it you'll be safe 👍 You freeze the receiving can because cold gas has a lower vapor pressure. And you can put the giving can in a bowl of warm (not hot!) water to increase it's pressure and make the transfer happen faster. You'll feel the giving can get cold as you fill the bottom can.

Fun fact, this is how air conditioners work! Take any gas (preferably not flammable, but that exists too), decompress it in a pipe so it boils into a vapor and absorbs a bunch of heat, making the pipe cold and you can blow air over it to cool your house or fridge.

Then that boiled gas vapor goes into a compressor that increases the pressure in a second pipe, enough that the gas has no choice but to condense into a liquid again. This releases all the heat that was captured in the boiling phase. Now you've got a hot pipe, and you put it outside and blow air over it to cool it off, further liquifying it. Then you take the liquid and release it back into the low pressure boiling pipe inside and start the process all over again!

Nice! I didn't know this existed!

Yes mine does canister to canister as well 👍👍

A special adapter from Amazon, like $20.

Be sure to refill by weight. Buy a full screw top canister and weigh it with a kitchen scale, note the weight in grams, write it on the can and in your phone.

Then later, when it's empty, put it in the freezer for several minutes, pull it out and refill it with the other canister, but only fill it to the weight it was originally at. It will gladly take more gas, but there will be less headroom or no headroom, and the canister has a high chance of exploding.

The Internet will tell you not to do it, and how unsafe it is, how the valves aren't meant for that many uses, and it's definitely gonna explode etc etc. But if you do it smart, you're fine. And don't reuse the same screw canister many many times, you're already saving money, reuse it a few times then recycle it and start over.

Edit: this is the one I bought, it'll do the trick. https://a.co/d/eHJDQGL

Also NEVER EVER EVER refill them with any amount of propane! Yes the normal canisters come with a percent of propane in them to help in cold weather. But getting the partial pressure mixture right is almost impossible at home, and propane will definitely make your canister explode. It's vapor pressure is too high. That's why the pure butane canisters are so thin, and the green pure propane canisters are so thick and heavy, because they need to be to hold back the pressure.

I've tried it as mouse, I've tried it with left trigger activateb and touch right stick activate and always active

I meant on purpose as in to remove gyro aim for some reason. Though I don't think so, apparently forbidden west has native gyro support.

It's ok if my old profile is invalid, but why is it now not possible to set up gyro again?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It looks like hers got nuked too, it's on the "official" input scheme, and there's no sign of my previous setup, and gyro is off.

I'm hoping this wasn't a intentional change made by the have developer, that would make me pretty salty

Good idea! My last playthrough was on my wife's account, this time I'm borrowing it on mine. I'll try to go back and see what hers is.

 

I'm trying to configure the gyro to help me aim. I've tried every configuration I can think of, or find online. I'm slamming head into a wall.

From what I can tell, the game now only accepts "steam controller" input. Which means the right joystick isn't actually a joystick, it's a weird virtual joystick, and there's some conversion going on. So when the old methods for getting gyro input are used, ie "as joystick" or "as mouse", the input is completely ignored by the game.

I've tried configuring a fresh controller configuration based on a standard controller, but then the game things I'm trying to use a keyboard and mouse and ignores all controller input.

Now, if I set gyro to "right stick (steam controller logo)", then suddenly the gyro starts affecting the right stick. But instead of being a relative input, as in when I pull the left trigger to aim, use the current gyro position as zero, and all relative movement should be applied to the stick. Instead it is an absolute value, with the movement being relative to the calibrated location of gravity down. So when I pull the left trigger, I immediately stare into the sky.

I think the solution to this is the "auto world tilt" option, but that is only available in the "gyro to joystick" configuration, which of course doesn't work.

Am I missing something completely obvious here? Can someone please guide me in the right direction? I miss gyro aim.

Thanks

Bidet master race.

Got myself one with heated seat, heated water (tankless water heater, not a connection to a hot water tap that takes ages to warm up), and even a hot air dryer thing that I only really use in the winter.

Cost a hundred bucks, best hundred bucks I've ever spent, I'll never go back.

Cold water ones are good too, more practical even, but the water gets cold here in the winter, make your brown eye blue lol

 

Hi there, I've been wanting a framework for awhile now, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I was perusing the website today, comparing the price and performance of different configurations, when I realized that the 16 needs a 100w power adapter, 180w if you've got the graphics card.

This is a dumb question, because obviously it would charge fine with the lid closed and idling or turned off. Or I could just upgrade my power adapters. But I have a lot of 65w USB C PD chargers in my house and cars, and I was wondering if anyone has tried using them, and if so how effective is it?

Like, 180w is a lot of power. If I'm just working on spreadsheets or something, I'm imagining it would charge just fine? Under a heavier load I would probably start to slip backwards? Where's the line? Movie watching? Light gaming?

Just food for discussion I guess, I still haven't pulled the trigger haha.

Thanks!

The civet processed beans? I'm wondering if it's all hype? Or worth buying a bag to try?

Edit: Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm gonna pass on it 👍

 

I'm new to backpacking, did my first trip this year with a hammock and had a great time.

Trying to get my wife into it with me. We're planning on going to Iceland in September, no trees. Plus she sleeps cold so she'll probably be more comfortable if we're in the same tent.

I'm looking to spend as little as possible, we're really not sure this will be our thing going forward, it might just be something I do solo. And we already have a big six person tent for glamping with a big air mattress.

I'm hoping for under $200, less if possible.

But I also don't wanna buy garbage, or carry something excessively heavy.

Suggestions?
