wait until they discover that there are actual people named molly…

i love how it wasnt a catchy book, romance, or whatever that peaked your interest.

It was the National Electric Code.

The national electric fucking code.

this is autism in full effect.

- Someone who is reading “Excuse me, sir, would. you like to buy a kilo of isopropyl bromide?”, the biography of a man who started a chemical company. I know, thrilling.

Damn, made me chuckle

Anyways, going by

, i have had multiple people (2, which is not a lot but it’s weird it happened more then once) say that they couldnt solder just to discover that they were using their soldering iron wrong.

When you press the solder against the iron’s tip, it should get wicked by the tip, and remain there until you press it on some wire/component leads.

If the solder beads up and slips away from the iron, or beads up and forms a blob at the end of the solder wire, it’s oxidised and you probably need to get a new tip. It needs to be shiny and metallic.

The tip needs to be regularely cleaned while soldering by brushing it on a wet sponge, and never let the iron cool down without some solder on the tip to prevent oxidation.

also, FLUX FLUX FLUX

wasnt the whole point to be able to solder one yourself?

founder is a bit hard to bear sometimes. He banned me from all channels over a the tiniest little argument and so I can’t interact with and get any support from the community

i have seen the harsh takes on the valetudo website but thought it was a joke, what happened to deserve that

blah blah blah very cultured very much words

do you want a standing ovation for eating a dictionary for breakfast or do you intend to face reality

do you want cancer to kill you now or do chemo and live for another 20 years?

flawed argument, this is the real world and you do have to compare options.

Making an imaginary secret third option to win the fight is reserved for kids in the playground

Had they not reacted the way they did, none of this would even be a thing.

do you think that out of all people in the concert and watching at home, none of them knew who they were? And even then, what were they supposed to do to “play it cool”, kiss?

will try over the next days, tysm!

That’s probably a problem with your router

isp provided router

receiving hardware

tried multiple devices, both wireless and wired, even with an name brand external wireless antenna

Especially if you’re in an area with a lot of other wifi signals or radio frequency interference

Middle of nowhere countryside.

If it’s an ISP provided router you could probably ask for them to look at it

Tried, they gave me the Deny, defend, depose treatment

i hate apple with a burning passion but at least their cable lasted more then 3 years without wearing the port down to where you need to angle the connector with force or it doesnt charge

i hate mtp until i see the 6 hours remaining on a wireless transfer and then i love mtp

take manufacturer’s claims

divide by 10

half it

half it again

you now have the max your device will ever reach, with the usual speeds being ~60% of that

(my isp says 300mbps, divide by 10, half, half, 7,5mbps, which i think i never saw since the speeds are actually from 3 to 4)

yup!

People with a new phone every 2/3 years never need to use angled charger treatment, which i find i need to do too often these days

that being said, there is no standard indicator for ports, chargers, and cables to signify what charging speed they support.

Sure, usb c can technically do 240W, but most people use crappy chinese cables which will do max 5W and blame it on the usb specification
