I moved to a 220V country with my Olympus BH2. How can I safely power it on?

Afaik it is 110V. I’m not quite sure what do I need in order to be able to plug it without frying it. I really don’t want to fuck up my microscope. Could you guys tell me what I’d need for that?

Not a particular model of something, just the broad name and specs of what I need to plug it in. So that I can look for one in the country I’m in (Brazil).

I loved SotL, but I feel like it still misses the creepiness and difficulty of the old games. Is the change related to a growing audience?

I think this game was the closest we got to things like Paradise and Roots in quite a while. I really enjoyed it, specially after how underwhelming Underground Blossom was.

But man, I really miss how uneasy the older games made me feel. Paradise is just so creepy. I feel like the newer games just don’t hit the same level of weirdness. I loved how some puzzles were borderline nonsensical in Paradise.

Speaking of puzzles, the games were never hard, but it really bothered me how the characters spelled out what you had to do all the time in SotL. I think the voice acting is really good, and I don’t wish there was less of it. I just wish the characters wouldn’t tell me what to do.

For example, there are some parts on the game **SPOILERS** that the maid wants you to do something around the house, like cleaning blood, chasing the cat or picking up laundry. I don’t feel like having her saying that was necessary at all… I would’ve loved to figure out things myself. I avoided clicking on the characters as much as possible because of that.

It got me thinking: are we ever going to have something truly like Paradise or Roots or are those changes to the games due to an expanding audience?

I feel like those things I mentioned help the game to appeal to a broader audience. If that means more Rusty Lake games, in a way fine. But I wish we’d have a new Paradise with improved technology/budget.

É normal os cursos de idioma não pagarem nenhuma hora para o planejamento de aulas?

Sou novo na área e nunca nem fui CLT. Mas na minha primeira semana de aulas, já percebi que fazer plano de aula é muito mais demorado do que parece. Ainda mais no começo, que nem conheço os livros da escola e tenho que ficar lendo o conteúdo deles.

Até agora, ninguém da escola mencionou nada sobre isso. Falaram que queriam que eu fizesse planos de aula e colocasse na pasta do Drive de planos compartilhados. Mas essa semana fiquei pensando, tá mas eu não tô sendo pago pra fazer isso!?

Eu tô tendo uma espécie de crise de meia idade antes da hora. Fazem 6 anos que trabalho como artista, mas é tudo 100% remoto e estou endoidando com o isolamento social. Sempre tive vontade de ir pra área de educação, então procurei um emprego de prof de inglês pra ver se gosto da coisa.

Sabia que a remuneração não ia ser boa, e que não ia chegar nem perto do que dá pra ganhar por hora como artista. Mas como não sei nada de nada (nem de ser CLT, nem de ser prof) só quero ter certeza se é assim mesmo.

People with very tiny wrists, where do you find bands that actually fit you?

I recently bought a secondhand Apple Watch that came with 5 bands from Apple. None of them actually fit me. The watch keeps twisting in my wrist.

I don’t want to attempt to create a new whole on the band myself, as they have such a nice finish. When I do it to my belts, they never come out nice.

Soo where can I get smaller bands? I’m not from the US so I don’t know what stores in here would have bands I could try other than an Apple Store. And I have no idea either Apple has smaller bands than this.

What could be the scam here? I said I’d mark the item as pending and not give them Zelle or Venmo. Safe to proceed?

I sell a bunch on FB Marketplace, and I never had any problems with pick up of items. The buyer has nothing on their profile. And their location on Vinted is 4h away from me.

If I just mark as pending and agree to meet at a public location, no issue, right?

I will be moving to another country with my microscope. I want to make a custom case like this for it. What material should I use? Shadow foam?

Making my phone beep with the watch is such an amazing feature! I wish I could make my keys or wallet do the same. Do AirTags work like that?

Can you make AirTags beep like the phone? Are there other alternatives? Thanks!

I don’t understand why costumer support always has to have so much “fluff”. Like, I know you’re either a bot or underpaid Indian guy. Can’t we just go straight to the troubleshooting!?!?!?

What's the best escape room in STL for 2 adults?

Looking for something truly difficult and not "difficult for kids". But that also allows you to book it for 2 players only (not a minimum of 4 like some I checked). Thanks!

I shipped a return to the seller. It's showing item is ready for pickup in my own town. FedEX won't help me without the seller's name and address. What can I do?

I scanned a QR code when dropping off the item as usual. A few days go by, and the tracking number says "item ready for pickup at [Place where I dropped it off]". I tried calling FedEX, but they told me they need me to do a security check by telling them the receiver's name and address, which I don't have.

I can't find the seller's info on eBay, since I've already used the shipping label. I know the seller is from another state, so it should not be ready for pickup in my city. I don't know what to do.

If I do a hard reset on a phone that arrived with a problem, will I lose eBay’s guarantee?

Phone came with an issue. Seller told me to try a hard reset. I know you’re not supposed to try to fix the problem if the item arrives damaged. Since the seller is instructing me to do this, would I lose eBay’s money back guarantee?

Help me get rid of an Olympus BH2 binocular head!

I have a spare Olympus BH2 binocular head. I'm moving to another country and it is too heavy for it to be worth it taking on a plane. I've been trying to sell it for a while now, and I have listed it on eBay and Vinted. So I decided to just give it away to anyone willing to pay for shipping.

I believe that if you buy it through Vinted you can get free shipping. If you message me there, I can send you an offer of $1 and you can buy it there, so you'll get it shipped to you for $2 or so (app has some taxes and it's not possible to sell anything below $1). You can also make me an offer of $1 on eBay and I'll accept it, it'll be more expensive, but perhaps it's a more trustworthy platform for some people.

I would really appreciate if I could get a bit of money for it, as any tiny amount helps when you're moving countries. But at this point, I just want this piece for this wonderful microscope model to be used by someone and not sit in a drawer anymore.

If anyone has a spare abbe condenser, we could also agree on a trade. I have one but it shows some scratches in dark field.

(the pictures are different because I listed it on Vinted first before taking proper pictures, I was going to update the listing but I have deleted the pics I used on eBay from my computer)

Got one of those today! I need some tips on how do you guys use yours, since tutorials are usually for people doing lab work. How do you clean it?

After use, how do I clean this? Am I supposed to just remove the tip and clean it?

Also, what is the silicon grease that came with it for? Is there anything else I need to know about it?

Consegui uma entrevista de emprego para Professor de Inglês em curso de idiomas. Que tipo de perguntas esperar?

Pra um pouco de contexto, tenho 26 anos e cursei 6 semestres de 8 de letras inglês e abandonei. Trabalhei desde então como artista visual, e atualmente moro nos EUA fazem 2 anos. Estou voltando pro Brasil mês que vem, e estou buscando algum CLT pra não chegar de cara desempregado dependendo apenas de freela. Dado as circunstâncias, achei que minhas melhores chances eram os cursos de idioma. Só tenho experiência da iniciação científica da faculdade e 1 ano de freela que fiz em 2018.

Nunca fiz uma entrevista de emprego na vida, só trabalhei como autônomo. Não faço ideia do que esperar e muito menos do que responder.

A única ideia que eu tenho, é que se me perguntarem sobre minha metodologia de ensino, eu pretendo responder que apenas quero seguir a visão da escola independente da minha opinião pessoal. Li uns livros de empreendedorismo por causa do meu negócio de arte, e do meu entendimento empresas querem dar ao cliente uma experiência uniforme e previsível. Então assumo que o que procurem seja alguém que vá seguir as instruções e metodologias da empresa tal qual elas são. Isso é uma boa ideia?

Bud deixa o Ponto de Vendas da Nuvemshop inutilizável. O que posso fazer?

Sou artista e vendo produtos com arte original em eventos e on-line. Por anos utilizei Wix e fazia absolutamente tudo manualmente. Coisa de fechar mais de 1000 vendas em um evento e fazer nota fiscal e tudo à mão.

Estou dando uma repaginada no meu negócio para automatizar tudo. A solução da Nuvemshop com o Ponto de Venda parecia absolutamente perfeita. Eu poderia usar códigos de barra e controlar o estoque online e presencial num lugar só.

Porém, tem um bug que deixa isso simplesmente inviável para eventos presenciais. Ler o código de barras pelo celular funciona quase que instantâneo. Mas a mensagem de “Procurando Produto” não some mais da tela, mesmo que o produto já esteja no carrinho. E pior, se escanear mais de um produto, as mensagens começam a acumular.

Estou usando um iPhone com iOS 26.5. Já tentei pelo Safari, Firefox e Chrome e o problema persiste. Tentei por um pc com MacOS 26 também, e o mesmo problema acontece. O que fazer? Tem alguma alternativa que me dê os mesmos resultados?

I'm trying to switch 2 rows on Calc. Every Google result says to just press Alt/Option and drag and drop the selected row. It's not working. What am I doing wrong? (macOS Tahoe 26)

First pic is the symbol that appears when I press option and drag and drop. Screenshot is what happens. It duplicates the row, instead of the 2 swapping places. I just want to rearrange my rows, I feel like it shouldn't be hard. What am I missing?

Visual artist trying to put together something for an online shop with prints. I'm not skilled enough to do typography, so I'm using pre-made fonts. My name is really hard to balance and I don't know what to do! Any advice is welcome

I'm a wildlife painter, with some scientific illustration mixed in. I am going for a sort of pastel, nature feeling with the brand. My target audience is mostly women. I am heavily inspired by these websites: 1, 2 and 3.

As a traditional media gouache painter, logo design is very outside the scope of what I know how to do. Any feedback is welcome.

So far, I think the top left one is my best option. The top right looks more balanced but I feel like it loses the "vibe" I'm going for.
