speaking of sci-fi dramas, i've recently discovered the Z Machine and it took me a good minute before i realized it actually exists and isn't something from a movie. That shit is too cool to be true

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.

By the way, did you see that bodycam footage last week? It was all black people! must mean i should be wary of all blacks forever now, i guess

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.

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

lol. lmao even.

It is not the job of the voters to Rally around a party that can't figure itself out, it is the job of the party to energize those voters into acting the way they need to.

yeah the DNC has long figured itself out, why do you think they are catering to centrists/moderate right wingers? because y'all won't vote them short of a perfect candidate (which doesnt exist)
