You'll need a correctly sized stopper cap like the metal end cap on the black housing in your pic. Though clearly that one has been blown through. The opening in it should be just large enough to let the break cable through. You can add an external one onto this housing if you find one

Nice! Where did you get the “do not talk to computers” sticker from?

Thank you for writing a really good review. I didn't expect to get this quality from a random post and appreciate the quotes and specific critiques.

Nicely put response to a low effort accusation. Thanks for putting in the effort to explain to frizzo what they overlooked. A shame they choose to double down on their ignorance and look like fool.

Breakout boards are common tools. They are PCBs that let you connect for example a programmable microchip on a socket to then expose its contacts to larger testpads or a USB connection. This board however has literally broken out of its ESD bag, a common plastic bag used to package electronics while protecting them from static electricity. One might say it has breached ESD confinement.

Hm, I sure hope that red cross helicopter only contains aid workers who are here to help. Wouldn't want to break any international laws...

I could follow everything you said up until the conclusion. If consciousness is not computational, then what is going on in our brains instead? I know of course that even neuroscientists don't know exactly, but just in broad principle. I always thought our brains are still doing computation, just with a different method to computers. I don't mean to be contrarian, I'm just genuenly curious what other kind of process could support consciousness?

I loved My Name for the dark tone and main character. There are quite a few more mafia themed k-drama if you want more like it, but I think this show did it the best. Of course then there is the movie Parasite, you might already know it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's famous for good reason. Also I just remembered Extracurricular Activities. Another crime themed show, maybe a pattern for k-drama or just my tastes, but this one I really liked for the two main characters. They're competent, arguably evil, but still written believably imo.

So.. we do all know that USB ports tend to have a default orientation, right? Like we're all aware that plugging in a USB cable correctly is aided by the fact that electronics companies generally use the same orientation on most orientable devices and the whole "USB rotation disorientation" bit is just a big inside joke, correct? Are there actually people out there not paying attention to the orientation of their cables before they plug them in so it's just an eternal try and error for them? Maybe other countries have different standards or something because this age old bit is not making sense to me.

Those are awesome sock suspenders, I love them!

Sorry but I feel like yapping about this so..

I'd say you are trying to reason against a factual point made in the post. For that your fist step is to remove as much (social) context from the hypothetical as possible by referring to an abstract entity and opinion. And to be honest, your factual reasoning is impeccably, logically true. But are you sure anyone was having this debate with you in the first place? Not to discredit you, but your three step argument here is as succinct as it is obvious (at least to me). I disagree not with your argument, but your choice to engage with the original statement as a factual debate point. There's a chance the OP had intended to communicate a very different message than all men's opinions on oneself being always irrelevant. Removing context to only engage with the factual dimension of their statement deprives you of a chance to learn more about the OPs and the communities intentions and values. Much like past public conversations (remember gamer gate, or more recently the hypothetical of the bear vs man) I personally believe the point of hyperbolic feminist statements is not for you to debate them, or push back against them, but to understand them. After all, saying essentially "not all men" is factually true and very easy, but doesn't actually help anyone/improve anything. I wonder what kind of social interactions would lead to OP posting this (and this community identifying with it)? Perhaps a systemic patriarchy could put unjust pressure on a person to push them into a very understandably unnuanced response to such mistreatment. Either way I gain much more insight by empathizing with the post. Arguing factually would feel like punching ghosts while wasting energy that could be used to improve society a little.

I know that for me anyway, I read similar opinions when I was a young man and felt unfairly discriminated. But to be honest, looking back, I was never entitled to women who had suffered much worse under the patriarchy expertly lecturing me in my relative privilege (and all that without hurting my feelings). Like sure, me feeling unfairly judged for my gender whenever I misunderstood such a post as an attack on me personally was unfair too, but simply not the point, nor a priority here. If I could travel back in time to give some advice and emotional support to the young me, I'd rather find someone else who needs it way more to give it to. Nowadays I like to consider words not just for what they communicate, but also for what they do. And if this post helped someone vent who really needed it and gave a relatable outlet to this community than all I have to do is recognize it for the mutual support it is. I'm writing this because hearing it earlier would have saved me much frustration fighting imaginary misandrist feminists and because I'm also still just figuring much of this out myself.
