I am going to need your 50 point summary of those obvious points in the longest form possible by this afternoon so I can be completely convinced that I have already made up my mind in the correct way. Thanks.

Tin the wire and the pin first and then touch the iron to them both quickly. They should stick fairly well without needing to add additional solder. Also, like someone else mentioned, flux can help quite a bit. (Maybe even a cupped soldering iron tip might be useful, depending on the situation.)

Learning how to solder SMD components will get you extremely familiar with how solder behaves at that scale. Let’s just say it’s significantly different than just doing basic wires and THT.

(Well, the solder doesn’t really act different, but at smaller scales it looks like it does.)

North Korea isn’t that big. We could convert it to a parking lot in a month or two.

It’s been around for a while. It’s the fluff and the parlor tricks that need to die. AI has never been magic and it’s still a long way off before it’s actually intelligent.

I kinda always knew it as rough sex.

Only if the pandas are painted yellow and with name tags that say “hunny”. (It needs to be an animal safe paint which is probably far separated from their typical comfort zone.)

Medvedev has been hitting the bottle again, it seems.

Nothing he says is to be taken seriously and it wasn’t worth the time to write article about another one of his bizarre rants.

On the other hand, drunks tend to listen to other drunks and there is no shortage of vodka in Russia…

Maybe. Depends on how often engine is overhauled, what it’s operating environment is and why the vehicle was kept operating for so long.

This guy was the real killer. The new RMcD is just the cover story.

It is absolutely just more cost effective, safer and better piece of mind to just replace the breaker. I’ll take that route 99.99% of the time.

If you feel adventurous, there are a couple of ways to test that breaker without proper test equipment. The risks could be zero OR you blow your face off and burn your house down.

Find an open outlet at tap live to ground. This will produce some natural and organic indoor fireworks, but it should trip the breaker. If it doesn’t, there is a small risk of welding the wires together and creating a very strange short condition, turning that entire circuit into a new heat strip. (Free money!)

Find two 1800W space heaters and together, on the same circuit, they should trip the breaker as well. (Breakers should be rated to at least 1800W.) This is problematic as well and I’ll explain. There is something magical about space heaters as I have seen 2 or 3 run off of the same circuit before. I suspect that if a breaker is slowly warmed up due to heavy load it will change its characteristics, causing it to only trip at higher loads. (Absolute speculation on my part!) By default, I would replace the breaker if I saw that kind of load. Extended, and higer heat cycles will eventually damage the breaker.

The Russian propaganda engine has been working in Africa for a while now. They get the chaos to distract other countries from Ukraine and fresh mercs to send against Ukraine as well. (I am not sure how many Africans they have imported for the war in Ukraine, actually. It could be hundreds or dozens, I dunno.)

Yeah, I would think memory as well due to the screen artifacts in that low res mode. (That depends on how x86 memory is mapped these days, I suppose.)

It needs mor Scotty…

Mr. Peanut approved.

When someone is feeling down, I point them right at a little place called 4-Chan. Those are some of the most wholesome people you can find on the internet! Everyone is so humble, they won’t even accept credit for all of their goodwill so all of their posts are anonymous.

(Seriously, this post title is almost nottheonion grade.)

Homie got ded. He’s ghosted, slid out his flesh jacket, closed the shop, and joined the unseen squad. Homie’s no longer rockin’ that pig kidney.

Throttle your posts, for fucks sake.

That’s because humans like to fuck.

Your comment formed a perfect pressure waveform.

It’s absolutely an I and not an l.
