fair enough, thanks for the response.
my ‘extra hands’ station w/ the two alligator clips to hold the subject, magnifying glass w/ led also has a holster for a hot iron, so I pop the hot iron in that after soldering.
the wire coming from the iron, whether it goes to a battery pack or the 250 eur smart battery is still the hangup for me. I build large things with nicrocobntrollers in them, so I need to soldier in super awkward places. a wire connecting the iron to anything is a massive liability.
Id be interested to hear how you get on with it though
I love my ifixit precision screwdriver, so I’d be a fan and would try this out.
The thing is once I switched to a butane iron (portable, hot in 20 seconds, awesome fire) I don’t have any interest in anything with a wire coming off of the back of it. battery or no, the wire being in the way is ass and is also crap
edit: maybe it doesnt have a wire?
edit 2: maybe I shoulda read the article before typing? 5 second heat-up time, wow… seeing as I am a fucking idiot and am also very tired, can someone who is smart tell me if the iron has a battery itself? the pack is for recharging the small battery in the pen?
I tip my cap to both of you
I think you might be round-about almost quoting Mark Twain?
“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
I actually don’t care for Robin Williams. I don’t actively dislike his stuff, I just find his humor off-putting. Good Morning Vietnam was OK.
no you are not. I will not buy an internet connected anything as long as possible.
I left also, the API thing was the nudge I needed; I admit I’ve gone back for niche things: the fan groups of 2-3 bands and two TV shows. Reddit is their defacto fan forum for lots of things
I’m sorry? I don’t speak freaky-deeky Dutch
I agree, moonshine should be spirits if its distilled. However, I saw a …thing from Africa that was effectively a 3 foot long woven basket/funnel thing, you stuffed bananas in it and left it in the sun. the bananas would rot and ferment and what dripped out of the bottom/tip would be somewhat alcoholic from natural yeasts etc.
I wouldnt call that spirits, wine or beer… dats some “other”
the mod isn’t for how the dog’s teeth protrude through its tongue
people downvoting the shit out of you for speaking truth to Big Homemade Hasbrown
shit takes a minute guys, its ok that not every feature of a home made thing is superior to McDonalds
I’m not saying what anything in your post is wrong. I would like to add, though, that there’s a housing crisis in Ireland, and I know half a dozen tech workers that can’t afford their own apartment. Just saying.
yo motherfucker I’m gen X and I cannot believe you just called me old, I just spit out my spirit of elderflower, aghast at your writings!
jesus…
sure. the “this is mine” thing, though, isn’t perfectly accurate- its more like “this is safe/accepted”
i dunno dude, one time I got a gram of basement crank and was excited to try it, so I horked a rail right before band practice. our lead singer/guitarist was like “yo your drumming is so tight today, youre on fire!” and I was like “speed!”
what you dont know could fill a book I wouldnt put succession on the same tier as sopranos (very little comes close), all I was saying is its not about crazy plot twists, and more about the way the emotionally crippled kids of logan roy cosplay as human beings. I enjoyed it- jeremy strong and brian cox did a great job imo
Do not, my friends, become addicted to water!! It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!!!
god damn what a waste of time
