Question about hard water

Hello,
I gave my father an X60 Pro Ultra, but he uses tap water instead of deionized water. I asked ChatGPT and learned that Amazon sells products that can be placed at the bottom of a water tank to remove limescale from the water.
What do you think? Could this help prevent limescale buildup in the pumps and other parts over the years?

Also would it be doable to have something like this in the bottom of the clean water tank or would it bother the pumps / aspiration etc ? thank you

Dreame vacuum owners that have a robot that works fine like me .... we should get more visibility

People post here when they have problems, but if I check the statistics from the store where I bought my Aqua10 Roller, Dreame is actually the least returned robot vacuum brand and ranks number one for reliability. So the support team and people here mostly see problems, while the vast majority of owners have a robot that works very well.

Need help to understand my psychology as a submissive man with dommes

As a submissive man, I really get a lot of hate against my dommes quickly ; needs help to understand my psychology

I need to ask this : i am a submissive man (34 yo) since i am a teenager and I am with a domme right now ; but I noticed that for example I love ballbusting and everything related to balls pain; but last time she hurt my nipples and it hurt a way it turned me off instantly. I really wanted to smash her in the face and was not feeling submissive at all. She forced the rest of the session and I was not enjoying anything because of how much angry I was.

Last session with another domme; the pain I had from kneeling on the wooden floor was so intense that I lost my erection, and we had to stop the session abruptly because it made me so angry.
So if I understand correctly, a submissive should only suffer within the very limited boundaries of what they enjoy? How can the dominant know that? I still feel resentment toward the dominants who genuinely hurt me when they simply did not know. How do submissives deal with this? Am I different?

I really dislike the song "forty six & 2"

I am a big tool fan for now 23 years and Ænima is one of my favourite album.
Songs like Stinkfist are pure beauty, Third Eye is one of the best song created by humanity for many reasons.

But "Forty six and 2" .... I cannot get it. The open riff is cool but that's it and it's repeated the whole song.
The chorus is just bad because there are like no chords !! Just the same riff repeated again and again with a bass then a heavy guitar and most of the song is super quiet and annoying; my dopamine level is at 0 the whole songs. I tried to force myself to listen to it thousand times ... but it still peaks on Spotify and was the TOP ONE Tool song on streaming platforms. What am I missing ? For those who enjoy the song can you explain ? what part ? what is supposed to be good ?

Mop pad holders replacement parts

Question, a friend just ordered a X60 Pro Ultra. I noticed there are two mop pad holders that look like tiny fragile plastic parts.

How many replacement of these part come with the "complete" version ? just 2 ? If one breaks the whole robot / station won't work ?

Is there any place we could buy replacements ? Is it compatible ? Why is there no replacement in the Complete pack, is it because they never break ?

I have the roller so I don't really know how this works

Comment des posts purement misandres sont autorisés sur instagram ?

ChatGPT m'a résumé le dernier post (des posts non épinglés) instagram de l'influenceuse "jemenbatsleclito" suivie par une bonne partie des françaises

:

« Ce post, clairement misandre s'attaque et refute le dicton "Not All Men" : Les hommes qui disent « not all men » ne défendent pas leur innocence, ils se couvrent mutuellement parce qu’ils savent, au fond, qu’ils pourraient eux aussi avoir quelque chose à se reprocher. Ils formeraient une sorte d’assurance collective, capable de nier les violences faites aux femmes tout en profitant des avantages sociaux liés au fait d’être un homme. Lorsqu’ils demandent des preuves ou des explications, ce serait surtout une tactique pour épuiser les femmes et éviter de se remettre en question. »

Funny thing with the song "Burning Bright"

I’m a sound engineer, and my mentor spent several hours explaining to me how to identify the harsh, piercing frequencies produced by guitars. Some frequencies are shrill and genuinely unbearable, and the brain can sort of filter them out, but making that effort makes the song unpleasant to listen to and makes you want to skip it.
Sometimes it sounds paranormal because when you amplify the frequency; then your brain won't filter it anymore even after it returned to normal volume

When mixing a track, in industrial music we often blend four or five guitars together, and each one needs to have its bad frequencies removed individually. They are often in the high end, and there are techniques to remove them precisely without damaging the overall sound.

I realised that “Burning Bright” not only kept all of those listener repelling frequencies, but actually boosted them???
It’s surprising because it is genuinely a great song, but if you skip it, that is completely normal. Otherwise, you are truly a masochist.

Is it possible to order Dreame robot parts ?

I have the Aqua10 Ultra Roller;
There are hundreds of small parts that the robot needs. Without them, it cannot function at all:

- the robot’s dirty water tank
- the small rear wheel
- the multidirectional front wheel
- the two metal arms where the vacuum brushes are attached
- the fluffer that loosens up the roller
- etc.

None of these parts are sold separately. I cannot find them on AliExpress. For the robot’s dirty water tank, I ordered one from AliExpress, but I received a different, incompatible part.
Does this mean that if one small part breaks one day, the whole robot has to be thrown away?

Comment oublier l'ancien moi et la vision du monde que j'ai connue ?

J'ai 34 ans; je suis un gars.
Quand j'étais enfant / ados, j'étais le genre maigre et métalleux plongé dans sa musique et totalement dans son monde ; je mangeais peu prennait pas soin de moi et j'étais franchement moche.
Et j'ai eu une multitude de classes, de soirées, de sorties, de vacances et pendant plus de 15 ans de vie ma relation avec les filles était toujours la même : Enfait dans les années 2005-2010 (je ne sais pas si ça a changé) si tu es moche les filles te détestent; et donc ma vie et mes relations avec les filles se résumaient ainsi : si j'adressais la parole à une en soirée ou si j'engageais simplement la parole en cours (mais avec 0 intention, parfois je le devais pour x raison) ben les réponses c'était "non mais ta gueule toi" "mais je t'ai parlé ?" "heu désolé j'ai pas le temps" ou la grande majorité du temps on m'ignore simplement et me répondais même pas. En 15 ans je me suis donc résigné : les filles sont pleins de haines et me rejettent je les dégoute et si on me déclare la guerre, il est normal de leur déclarer la guerre aussi; après 15 ans d'insultes alors que j'ai rien demandé je voue une haine infinie à la gente féminine.

Par contre avec les gars c'était l'inverse j'ai toujours eu pleins d'amis etc et des petits groupes car les gens étaient passionnés de mes interventions, mes remarques etc je sentais que j'intéressais faisais rire etc.

Depuis j'ai TOTALEMENT changé; cela fait maintenant plus de 10 ans que je fais de la musculation à fond; fait des prises de masses; j'ai pris 40 kilos en 10 ans et maintenant fait 100 kilos de muscle environ pour 1m83; je prends soin de moi à fond et je suis devenu vraiment pas trop mal au point que je match beaucoup sur tinder et j'ai deja eu des avances de collegues feminines, je suis devenu ingénieur en biotech et gagne très bien ma vie.

Mais mes collèguent s'interrogent "Attend toi t'es super baleze tu fais de la muscu depuis 10 ans t'es beaugosse avec ta nouvelle coupe et Pauline des RH veut boire un verre avec toi et tu dis non ??" Car j'ai tellement vécu et me suis construit sur le fait que les filles me détestent que depuis que je suis devenu "beau" je n'arrive pas à oublier cette haine et ce que j'ai connu. Que feriez vous dans ma situation ?

According to Apple’s figures, an iPhone Air with 74% of its battery capacity is equivalent to a brand-new iPhone 14.

27 h × 74 % = 20 h

the apple website says the air has 27 hours of autonomy and the iphone 14 20h

it means you can keep your Iphone Air 7 years and it will be like receiving a brand new Iphone 14

somethings seems strange in these calculations

Big concerns on the "powermaster" new feature of dreame

OPINION AS AN ENGINEER AND MESSAGE FOR DREAME ENGINEERS IF THEY CAN READ THIS : On the brand new Dreame X60 Pro Ultra robot vacuum, Dreame introduced the PowerMaster system, which uses ultra fast charging to give the robot much longer cleaning time. The idea is impressive, because the robot can quickly recharge during short returns to the base and continue cleaning large areas.

The problem is that ultra fast charging is not ideal for battery health. A lithium battery ages faster when it is charged with very high current, especially because it creates more heat and more chemical stress inside the cells. Even if Dreame has safety systems and cooling protections, repeated fast charging will probably wear the battery way faster than normal slow charging. It's a great feature to impress people, for marketing and to sell robots now, but it's not a good long-term stategy when everybody will discover that the battery has been destroyed.

For most users, this speed is not needed every day. Many homes are small enough that the robot can finish cleaning without using aggressive charging. That is why Dreame should quickly add a “slow charging” or “battery care” option in the app. Users who want maximum performance could keep PowerMaster enabled, while users who want to preserve the battery for several years could choose slow charging. This would make the product smarter, safer, and better for long term reliability.

Best way to flush the pipes on a Dreame robot ?

Hello;
(I have the aqua10 ultra roller)
Today I made the mistake of mopping without vacuuming first on a dirty floor, whereas I usually always vacuum beforehand. Since then I’ve had slight leaks and I’m afraid I may have clogged the water pipes with dust. What I did to flush it was make the robot clean a small area in front of the station 4 or 5 times in a row, because each time the whole mop cleaning cycle => dirty water drainage into the dirty water tank happens. That allows the pipes to be flushed with clean water. Apparently it worked !

But in the app there is also a function called “Device Maintenance” => “Empty the robot tank” which, when launched, runs for quite a long time. ~15 min. Does anyone know what it actually does? Is it the robot’s clean water tank being pumped back into the base? Through which path? Does it go through the dirty water tank?

If so, that would probably allow much more effective flushing than my method of repeatedly cleaning a small area.
