@North I suspect abrading the material while soldering helps, not sure how fast aluminium corrodes but a few seconds might already make a difference

@North it's just using the tip as abrasive, isn't it?

shork boosted

til winning a 100x splatfest battle means you get to take group shots on the float

thanks for playing @bonzoesc !

@la hell yea I knew putting the torch in the space was a good idea

the kinda jank trick if you don't wanna reuse the cranks (I was never planning to) seems to be to put the bolts back in but loosely and try and ride the bike around a bit. I don't know how much riding I can do on this since the gears are pretty far gone but it's worth a shot I suppose

@la welcome to the "this is stuck and I'm really frustrated" club

working on bikes is really easy and fun until you end up at a part like this

ughhhh I've been hoping to just pop off this crankset off my old bike to replace it (it's worn) but turns out the threads the crank puller screws into are weaker than the way the crank is wedged onto the spindle

I think the only way to get this off would be to angle grind it

anyone wanna play a bit of splatoween later tonight?

@tootapp I suppose it assumes the list is already surrounded by extra space? what a weird setup

@tootapp I'll send a strongly worded letter to Tim Apple, thank you!

@tootapp two more that are maybe more serious:

  • the settings headlines butt up right against the sidebar

  • at window sizes that don't show the sidebar exiting the settings is impossible

@tootapp I feel like the iPad sidebar needs just a bit of spacing here, it's really bugging me

@unascribed ah no the one I printed doesn't have USB-C. there seems to be a usb-c shaped hole at the bottom of the A-Hole but it's functionally unusable bc nothing I have reaches it

today's the only day in the year where you can look at the clock, see 2 am and wonder whether it's the first or the second 2 am tonight

@Canageek just click the lil shield icon and turn it off for the page, it's not like there's any tracking happening on a mastodon instance
