Ok but can they stop touching my balls because my skin is anything darker than #FFFFFF

Sealioning conspiracy nutjob

Hell, some companies will still hire pinkertons

I’m just imagining the nutrition facts section for that bottle of test strips

Also if you want a domain but dont care about the actual address, a .xyz domain composed entirely of numbers with less than 10 digits is $1-2 + same as renewal fee per year. $1.22 for me on porkbun

Just be sure to redact the whois information bc you will get a call from scammers trying to get you to register your domain on some “internet map” for a small fee acting as if its some step in your setup process you havent done yet

Just searched my old user names and found absolutely nothing except for one post from 2012 on Minecraft forums

It’s one part a lack of SEO/searchability and nine parts sites that are dead and gone taking that information with them.

I haven’t been the best about backups, passwords, etc but I’ll probably set up a dead mans switch at some point to release my passwords to my family and delete my drives if/when I can’t do it myself. I’ve already got bro on call to drive to my house and shred the drives •=•

Choosing rice either wasn’t random or you just stumbled onto “ricing” and “ricers” which comes from a derogatory name for Japanese motorcycle and cars in the 60s-80s? (“rice burner” and “rice rocket”). . Ricing/ricer later became a term for modded cars/motorcycles which were popular in Japan.

That’s where r/ricing and “Linux ricing” came from for Linux/unix theming. It’s not unique to that either. People use the term for their gaming rigs. An example of “ricing” in this context is adding tons of RGB LEDs. Some people consider the term racist, other people don’t care and continue to use it

Not really but kinda. Depends on how you sort the feed. There’s new comments / active / most comments (and maybe scaled?) which factor in number of comments but if you don’t sort by that then number of comments doesn’t affect it in the feed. Also, someone who comments a lot of nonsense is probably going to get blocked, down voted, reported / banned or their posts removed.

There’s also top hour/the/12hr/day/week/month/year, controversial, new, etc. which won’t factor comments in.

The ones for autism :•|

I felt the same the first time I tried but it honestly takes a few tries to start getting it right. The kind of iron and solder matter a lot; the older ceramic core ones suck and the JBC/pinecil type are much superior. Part of the problem with the ceramic type ones is they have one setting - full blast - and not good temperature control. With a pinecil/JBC you can set the temperature to 300C and expect to get 300C. Too hot and it will boil off the flux before you’re done soldering and you just get crud.

In terms of solder, leaded rosin core solder is the best. Don’t worry about the lead, as long as you wash your hands. Use a brass sponge type thing to clean the tip frequently to remove crud

For through holes, I’d say get some veroboard off eBay and a bunch of cheap resistors and just start plugging away until you get better. Process is basically - have tip with a bit of solder, poke to pad and pin, put solder into joint and hold 1-3 seconds until solder flows onto pad and pin, remove tip. Putting some flux on in advance helps remove the oxides before soldering

For surface mount (side pads/pins), there are kits with cheap/obsolete/trash components you can just plug away at without fear of messing anything up. Soldering smt is a bit annoying but doable by hand without much training. the process is basically: tin one pad, use tweezers to place part and reheat the solder until the part is in place, solder the rest of the pads, reheat first pad to relieve stress.

Even for large parts, I used to have trouble with unsteady hands. If you are doing smt you really need a microscope or magnifying glass for anything smaller than 0805 - really helps with the visual feedback loop for hand positioning. A microscope significantly improved my dexterity and hand steadiness

You might be able to soak it in some kind of water/soap or isopropyl bath and then dry it. If it has electronics it might not be doable without taking things apart

Definitely higher than the softening point of the plastic. What kind of parts? Car, residential appliance, etc?

Perhaps a low table or an office chair without arm rests to get a closer to waist level

I guess they’ll have to stop giving wine and jeesits then

There’s a name for that; nominative determinism

Ah, so just don’t go to the country you’re born in, by teleporting somewhere else at birth I suppose?
