The first account was banned in retrospect after the first 3 seemingly didn’t care about community rules. Retrolemmy will not be the instance to house people who don’t adhere to the community rules. If you decide to turn a new leaf I am prepared to unban your first account.

How dare they call this no meat sausage a sausage! Seize the products!

I don’t know what’s happening there, but I hope their government gets replaced with people who have better priorities next election. Thankfully their high court doesn’t have their head up their own asses in this instance.

And kill mostly innocent civilians to do it? Hamas is bad, don’t get me wrong. But Israel’s reaction to the tragedy is abysmal.

Dutch guy here,

We have some, but in my opinion: Racoon They aren’t my style, but this is in my opinion a beautiful song. And this song single handedly changed them from a one-hit wonder, into one of the biggest bands in my country. The guitar part is notoriously hard, and the singer might be one of the best in our pop charts.

It’s call of duty. It hasn’t been worth it for over a decade.

My dog shows no fear of geese, and will gladly scare them away for me. Easy passage for me, and another weakness for them. No barks needed, just a determined sprint.

Is there a way to remove having to enter my password for everything?

Wake computer from Screensaver? Password.
Install something? Password.
Updates (biggest one. Updates should in my opinion just work without, because being up to date is important for security reasons)? Password.

I understand sudo needs a password,but all the other stuff I just want off. The frequency is rediculous. I don’t ever leave my house with my computer, and I don’t want to enter a password for my wife everytime she wants to use it.

I’ve tried unattended-upgrades once. And I couldn’t get it to work back then. It might be more user friendly now. Or it could just be me.

Other downside is that they are fucking ugly. But really comfortable. I made it a point to get the ugliest one I can find. If I’m going to have ugly ass things like that, I better get the ugliest.

I wear them in the house every day.

Are you doubting my jibbit game? I’ve got spider-man, iron-man, mjolnir, wolverine, an astronaut, and Luigi.

Don’t doubt my game.

They are really comfy. And they obviously breathe, but aren’t cold at all, so I haven’t been wearing my house slippers anymore, since they make my feet sweat.

The first thing I do when I get home is put them on. Haven’t had footwear as comfortable as these.

I usually leave the heel latch up, so they are more like slippers, easy to slip in and out.

They just stay on. A friend of mine bought jibbits on aliexpress, thinking it was only 5 or 10. It was 50, and dirt cheap. Just a random selection, and I could have how many I wanted.

For the price of 1 “official” one.

Oh this hurts physically. So much frustration when soldering with the small wires. So much wasted solder to save your fingers from burning.

Thanks. I hate it.

From feeding tiny bits of solder. Not from soldering.

DosDude, 1 month ago

I prefer adding solder while soldering. The solder itself also holds flux, and often when you do it that way you don’t need to add flux yourself. Also if you solder through hole and you add solder to the tip before soldering all the flux dissappears, and you don’t have enough solder for the weld.

And small amounts of solder doesn’t mean short strips, which is what you get when you do what OP posted.

Source: I work in the circuit board population field. And do inspection and repairs.

Imagine the last part of the solder wire. Not much is left, but you want to use as much as you can, so you feed it anyway even though that last little part makes your finger come dangerously close to the iron.

Usually you just scrap the last part, but OP made a lot of small wires all along the roll, so either you scrap a lot, or burn your fingers trying to use up as much as you can.

DosDude, 1 month ago

Good thinking. In my field we don’t do that. It takes more effort than you’d get out of it by that point. I just get a new roll. But if you’re in a pinch and on your last roll, this is a great idea!

DosDude, 1 month ago

Yeah, for smt I just use a heat gun or rework station for repairs. Only part I use an iron for that is when a lead didn’t take. Even then, the solder is already there so just flux is enough.
