@hi_cial what the fuck

it's the magic/more-magic switch but for software

@LexYeen actually, i'd amend that to get better tools as soon as you can if you anticipate needing to do more soldering in the future

-F

@LexYeen i mean if it's your only option and you need to solder something by all means, but do get a proper one as soon as you can

you don't even have to go with a $100 one (which is still a fairly cheap iron, these get expensive if you want the highest quality); hakko sells the FX-901 for $30, though it's a battery-operated iron with all that that entails, and there are only two tips available for it. it is temperature controlled though

re: in fact, fuck it, let's make this a poll re: star trek shitpost (food adjacent, philosophical) 

@LexYeen given that we don't know how star trek replicators work, does "feedstock from an animal" imply an animal was killed to obtain it, or that it was lab-grown from a sample taken without harming the animal?

that would determine whether it would be vegetarian or not, but neither case would probably count as vegan
-F

@patchwork we've used them before and generally just *hate* the experience

maybe we never got enough practice to get good at it, but after trying an FX-888D we've never used anything without temperature control

apparently people are much less opposed to cheap hardware store irons than i'd expected

well apparently elden ring updated but we still can't get it to launch

@rey team up with a pastrami and a pepperoni and you have a nice sandwich
-F

people talk about ham radio a lot but where are the bacon radios, the prosciutto radio, the turkey radio, the pastrami radio
-F

we've seen one opened up, it just contains a 1 MΩ resistor with one end just not connected to anything

the real ones also contain a 1 MΩ resistor, between the metal panel that makes contact to your wrist and the snap contact where you attach the cord, these just don't have the snap contact

occasionally we remember that there are people out there who just sell "wireless antistatic wristbands" like that's actually a thing that's possible

i mean i guess it might be possible if it contained a dangerous amount of radioactive material but uh

if *that* was how they claimed to work, they'd have every government agency in the world after them

@ziphi maybe something a little closer to the RP pronunciation of "bath", if you're familiar with that?
-F

@ziphi closer to not but more like the vowel in paw than in not

@owashii@plush.city we have a pretty good computer and it just crashes when we try to launch it and i am very frustratedd about this because we were planning on doing a thing and then we can't do the thing and because adhd that basically means the whole day's down the drain
-F

@owashii@plush.city apparently the game is excellent if you can get it to run
