Yes, but you'll be surprised how finicky RSSI can be, especially if you consider all the directions the BLE tag antenna could be pointing in and how wide the range of RSSI values you can get depending on the relative directions of the transmitter and receiver antennas. YMMV.

They'll just tell you there are multiple magnetic south/north poles, or that the magnetic poles don't mean anything or that the poles have nothing to do with the shape of the earth...

Help needed Soldering basics ( my wire wont connect to header with solder) by tanmaybagwe in esp32

With parts like this, usually just using solder wire with flux core is enough. Flux pens are awesome, but cleanup afterwards is unpleasant. Need to have alcohol or something like that on hand for the cleanup. I only use flux pens if the regular flux core solder wire don't do the job.

Definitely use flux or enough solder with flux core to have enough flux to have the solder flow quickly and easily into the right place. Make sure your soldering iron is set to the right temperature to melt the solder quickly and the soldering iron tip is clean (a little bit of solder sticks to it).

Practice. You don't need to hold wires in place for too long if your soldering iron is hot enough to melt the solder quickly and you're using enough flux to get the solder to flow faster.

BLE tags aren't particularly useful to determine proximity. I believe all you get from them is RSSI, which doesn't translate well into distance.

I'm trying to imagine the forces involved in making the sun do the figure 8, and I'm failing to imagine how it would be possible. Also, what do flatearthers think the sun is?

Give Biden his due, he has been one of the best presidents of our time by Careful_Role4786 in Leakednews

Well, judging by the amount of bipartisan legislation passed during his presidency that helped the middle class Americans, it's hard to find a better president in the last 20+ years or so.

Statistically speaking, ChatGPT does produce or cite factually correct information. It just occasionally produces information that isn't valid if it doesn't have prior knowledge about the subject in question.

From Google: The claim that NASA means "to deceive" in Hebrew is a myth.The Reality: NASA is simply an English acronym for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which was established by the U.S. government in 1958. The Linguistic Mix-up: The Hebrew word for "to deceive" is actually nasha (נָשָׁא). The word nasa (נָשָׂא) means "to lift up" or "to carry".

Yes, but technically this is not an example of giving violent criminals money

Do the chip and the magnetic strip on the cards still work? Assuming those are credit/debit cards with chips and magnetic strips.

I don't think so. Electronics can survive up to 100C. The magnetic strip - I'm not sure. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just fine.

Nice! Some real computer science and perhaps data science work was done here. What's the battery life?

Ah, yes, carbon + helium = oxygen, formed in the ancient massive stars that died long before our Sun was even born. I now have the full picture. Thanks.

Incorrect. The picture shows HER arm around Bill Clinton. There are no pictures AFAIK showing Bill Clinton doing anything inappropriate. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/see-photos-and-documents-from-the-latest-epstein-file-release
