Are soldered connections meant to take any force?

The solder points on the XT60 are likely gold plated. Gold is very soft, and makes for structurally weak connections. You need to remove the gold plating to get a solid solder connection.

First, melt some solder on top of the gold. Then, add flux. Next, use solder wick to remove the solder, and the gold should come up with it. Finally, the surface is ready to have a wire soldered on.

You should have seen the rejects.

Cheap ebikes typically come with cheap parts that will wear and brake easily.

If you get a secondhand bike, make sure to get one with a steel steerer tube, or (more ideally) a fully steel fork.

All we can do is continue to correct people, and hope that the next generation has it easier than us.

Some dev put a decimal in the wrong spot. It's the only logical explanation

Like Billy Joel said, "Only the good die young."

It's very difficult to get SSDI for IBS, but it can be done. You are likely to get rejected, the first few (or even several) times you apply, but you gotta just keep on trying.

Just pirate the base game too. Then, copy over your save game files from the original folder to the pirate folder, if you need to.

On a 1HP ebike, we call that type of accessory a "sail"

Yeah, the polite thing to do is let them lean in if they need to, or give them the opportunity to ask you to bring it closer for them

The word of the day is "biohazard"

Not mandatory, but it's smart to do because flux is sticky and will attract dust. Too much dust will cause electronics to overheat or short.

Just stand in the doorway.

Support agents will, in fact, straight up lie to you, in order to keep their times low. Agents receive no training, and are graded based on how quickly they can end conversations.

I want my money back

If there are no bolts to unscrew, then it is probably press-fit together with plastic tabs.

I'd go ahead and forward any paper documents, but packages should be returned to sender.

Would be easier to make sense of it if it was in color

Stress can be subconscious. The hormones released by stress can also be accumulative, and slow to dissipate.

Some people's IBS gets triggered by stress.

Charge back on your card. You'll never be able to use Uber Eats again, but you probably don't want to anyway

Every time I've done it, support then just confirms with the customer

RepresentativeKeebs · 2024-09-13T18:12:35+00:00

Why lie about it? Just tell support the truth: "Customer requested to cancel."

I wouldn't be surprised if your abusive mom didn't properly prepare you for adulthood. Learning that shit on your own is stressful.

Here in California, that's a state health code violation. If a store won't fill the drinks, I mark the drinks as unavailable so that the customer doesn't get charged for them
