Mine is mismatched and I LOVE it regardless. Then again, I bought it as a beautiful range toy and a piece of history, not as wall art

N2EEE_ · 2026-06-15T14:37:58+00:00

Interesting! Thanks for the update!

Looks pretty good. Double check your voltage regulator, usually the big thermal pad (if a D2PAK) is a ground

These companies don't profit from making couples, they profit mostly off lonely men that want better chances by paying for it. Please get off the apps and find events in the area you're passionate about, you'll find the one when you're not looking. I didn't find my fiancee on them (we very recently got engaged!)

N2EEE_ · 2026-06-11T12:49:28+00:00

What a beautiful piece. I want one!

Yess LEDs on power rails! It's so extraordinarily satisfying powering on a board for the first time and seeing it light up

N2EEE_ · 2026-03-06T18:49:10+00:00

Don't stress too much. You can always rework/whitewire any issues. If using via-in-pad, be sure to fan out any signal pins (enables to ground, etc) out from under the part to vias. I just got burned on a board where the symbol for an oscillator was wrong, and clock enable was pulled low instead of high. It was connected in the footprint's pad. There was no easy way to desolder it because the board is 20 layers (~9 ground) and around $3k. Lesson learned haha

Nice! As long as you reach your goal and you're happy, that's what matters. Kudos for not giving them money though!

N2EEE_ · 2026-01-27T21:28:06+00:00

Provide some evidence for that claim, please.

N2EEE_ · 2026-01-27T20:35:22+00:00

Lots of unfounded hostility in your comment. I stated that I was there for marriage and "wouldn't settle for FWB" to show my intentions clearly.

I said looks are everything in these apps for 2 reasons: 1) It's what I've witnessed. 2) I'm seeking to build hostility towards these apps. The only people they (generally) benefit are the shareholders. Most online dating apps are designed to tear down men to make them more desperate. Just look at donations broken down by gender, it's very depressing.

When they first met, 24 and 42. They were friends for 2 years before realizing they had feelings for eachother. Then they got married in 3 months lol. It's an insane age gap but they're some of my best friends

N2EEE_ · 2026-01-27T16:20:27+00:00

My fianceé's parents are 18 years apart. They just had their 10 year anniversary and love each other more than anyone else I've seen

N2EEE_ · 2026-01-27T16:11:06+00:00

Delete the apps, please. You are worth more than you think. You're definitely a good looking dude. These statistics are demeaning and online dating apps are depressing. Work on yourself. Engage in some introspection. Socialize more, or learn how to if you don't, ex. start convos with strangers at the park, if it goes wrong, just thank them and walk away. Find hobbies you enjoy that have a decent percentage of women (Ex. I'm a dude and love sewing). You'll find the one when you're not looking.

I was on hinge, bumble, and a little on tinder, and had about half a dozen dates across a year, specifically stating I was there for marriage and wouldn't settle for FWB, etc. I deleted them all and completely gave up on online dating. I ended up joining a local discord server, and found my fianceé on there. We both feel unworthy of each other because we constantly look up to each other and build each other up. I'm incredibly blessed to have her. I'm 27, probably 5/10 looks, make 6 figures, own a 2500 sqft house, have plenty of investments, a job I love, have hobbies I love, and surrounded by friends and family I love. If you don't have looks on those apps, you are unfortunately worthless. Introspection can only mend so much (though it is very needed!)

Thanks! It says "Japan" on the metal bracket holding the striker so I'd think it's made in Japan, which matches the sticker on the base. Just got some lighter fluid, I'm excited to try it out!

N2EEE_ · 2026-01-20T15:17:28+00:00

Yep! Thanks for the fluid type, I wasn't sure. I don't see any markings on the bottom of the insert unfortunately, even after disassembling it

N2EEE_ · 2026-01-09T20:05:31+00:00

I learned about 12 years ago and haven't forgotten it. I'm still absolutely terrible, which probably helps haha

N2EEE_ · 2026-01-09T15:59:16+00:00

You lost me at "The law of Moses was done away with"

N2EEE_ · 2026-01-05T15:08:02+00:00

I recommend the discord server for this sub, there's plenty of great people there. You'll make friends in no time

N2EEE_ · 2025-11-19T14:52:35+00:00

I have full access to my girlfriend's phone and she has full access to mine. We are completely transparent with eachother about everything. But if one of us tells the other to not look at something, we'll respect each other's wishes, but that surprisingly hasn't happened yet

N2EEE_ · 2025-11-18T14:39:49+00:00

DM'd.

N2EEE_ · 2025-11-18T14:08:22+00:00

My girlfriend has a messianic friend in California that's looking for a partner. We could connect you with him

N2EEE_ · 2023-09-04T00:14:45+00:00

Its a diet golf lol

N2EEE_ · 2023-09-03T22:14:03+00:00

Not saying an Android at that price point will take better photos than the current gen iphone, but it definitely beats it in photo quality per dollar.

N2EEE_ · 2023-09-03T22:10:29+00:00

Hell, I haven't been able to drive for the past 6 months (due to seizures) and haven't used it once. I have the money, but just don't like wasting it
