You missed our Lord and Saviour Omnifixo from your list.

In my 30+ years of soldering, never has a "helping hands" been worth the effort, until now. No, I'm not on commission. Yes, they're worth the asking price.

Made building whoops a genuine pleasure. Both my whoops are soldered motors and cameras, with e6000 glued solder connections, and everything conformal coated. Absolute doddle with the Omnifixo holding everything.

Yeah, you've most likely managed to flex the AIO and partially pop off part of the VTx. A hot air solder tool can be used to carefully reflow stuff like this, but it takes a bit of finesse to not blow shit off when solder melts.

Reflow ovens are another option, but beyond most of us.

I built two 65mm whoops a few weeks ago, both with matrix II AIOs in em, one on RCinPower 0702 31800kV with triblades, the other on HM 0702 26000kV and biblades.

They've both taken enough abuse to break two canopies and a frame without complaint. If anything, the rcinpower motors are the weak spot, some of them shed their circlips and therefore the bells a little easily.

Consider for a moment that other people may not be in a position to simply "find another line of work". Perhaps they have dependants, or medical issues, or any number of other situations that could prevent them from being able to retrain into another profession, or even to be able to switch employers.

You're in a very privileged position if finding another line of work is something actually sensibly achievable.

The Argentinian moron is being strung along by Trump, who's doing it because he sees it as him getting even for our staying away from his Iranian Self Own as best we could.

The US won't seriously back Argentina on account of the Israeli interests operating in Falklands Territory, and when push comes to shove, the US loves chugging Israeli meat more than it gives a fuck about Argentina.

Not on the whole, no.

In short, there are groups of ignorant, useful idiots that are easily led by their prejudice, being led by right wing grifters who think they're clever, who are in turn being led by rich grifters looking to cash in on selling off what's left of the UK's government services to private interests.

But doesn't, I feel, portray the same level of "Get fucked, you spherical bastard" that going to the expense and effort of dropping them into the sun does.

Since there'd be enough space in the most "off the shelf" available capsule for more than those two, I'm sure we can find other, worthy individuals to join them. Musk, Thiel and Trump would be the obvious low hanging fruit, but I'm sure we could cram in a few more.

Wait until someone dies because there wasn't a lifeboat to rescue them.

That blood will be on their hands, for the sake of intentionally trying to let overloaded small boats sink with all aboard.

Personally, I think the answer is to float the New Blackshirts on unseaworthy vessels out in the North Sea to fend for themselves. Let them learn just how vicious open water can get, and see if they think that fate is deserved by anyone.

Are you really dense enough to believe that this country's problems are migrants' fault, and not the privatisation of everything, and the inevitable myriad tax loopholes/"strategies" exploited by the companies that run the aforementioned everything?

Before you reply, consider how much the toad lookalike figurehead of the right wing party (that's up to their ears in dodgy grifting before they even have any power) has invested in certain US based "private healthcare providers". He's not even sly about it, his full throated calls for the UK healthcare system to resemble the US model leave no room for misconstruing his intentions.

This is basic level stuff, but so many allow themselves to be led along by their prejudices, which history has shown, leads nowhere good.
