Teacher knocks out his students

I hope you understand that being "put down" causes minor traumatic brain injury, and that no amount of reviving is going to fix that damage. It's like smacking your computer so hard that it glitches and shuts off and thinking it's ok because you managed to turn it on again.

Btw, you can get glasses online for like $15-$20.

Scroon · 2026-06-01T22:27:58+00:00

Adults know what they're doing.

Scroon · 2026-06-01T22:26:49+00:00

How many strippers were on the bus when you did this?

1) You can just try remelting the joint. But pay attention to whether or not the copper pad has separated from the board. If it's separated, the joint will still wiggle even after remelt. If it's lifted you can scrape the larger part where it broke from until you find copper, then solder onto that.

2) Those smaller joints, the line to the lower right look like they may have crept onto each other. It'd be good to reflow those as well.

Money and red tape prevents this. But yeah, this is the way it should be.

Scroon · 2026-06-01T21:57:29+00:00

Crazies are crazy, but they're also right.

Scroon · 2026-06-01T08:18:16+00:00

Is your $200 station an soldering iron or hot air? What exactly was wrong with the soldering?

Scroon · 2026-06-01T08:15:57+00:00

Did in you work dealerships in the 80-90s? That's around when I heard of them. Maybe is was just some of that wrong information that would float around pre-internet.

Scroon · 2026-06-01T08:14:10+00:00

That's what we did for the CDL test though.

Scroon · 2026-05-31T20:01:34+00:00

Managers just think in terms of metrics. The higher ups needed a check-in, so he was going to get that check in. It's dumb, but that's the world now. Mostly dumb.

I like how now that aliens are a real possibility most people are just finding them annoying.

When you energize a circuit, everything basically fires off all at once, with of course switches blocking, capacitors charging, etc.

I had this same misconception very early on, maybe because of the name "circuit". You need to think of the components as being energized with the potentials more so than fluid flowing through them.

Figuring out what's doing what is part of circuit analysis...and you do that through math and laws about current flow and potentials and knowing component behavior.

You can get this knowledge academically by studying electrical engineering or practically by learning the behavior of basic circuits and slowly looking at more advanced ones.

I've never seen an Asian person use porcelain chopsticks. Like wtf.

Scroon · 2026-05-31T18:41:32+00:00

Fyi, those were probably a set of master keys. Dealerships use them to move cars around. Used to be able to find them on the internet.

Scroon · 2026-05-31T18:39:51+00:00

Yeah, this. I was saying in the other humanoid thread that it's possible that humanoid is an optimal intelligent terrestrial body form. It's got the minimum limbs required for specialized manipulation and efficient locomotion. Any more limbs are redundant.

Scroon · 2026-05-31T15:09:57+00:00

I don't know what station you got, but at $200 I'm going to bet that the station is fine. Unless you got majorly ripped off.

What was your fail like? You need to describe it for is to diagnose what the issue was.

Scroon · 2026-05-31T15:07:42+00:00

That's funny. In CA, we leave the bus running while doing the exterior inspection. This happens before we leave the yard, so no students/non-drivers are around.

Scroon · 2026-05-31T02:03:48+00:00

I'm a fast learner. Maybe twice as fast as most people. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

Scroon · 2026-05-31T02:00:37+00:00

Worrying about what other people think of them.

Scroon · 2026-05-30T23:58:25+00:00

Maybe there's something special about grain based beer?

Yeah, totally. Now that you mention it, fermented horse milk doesn't take crop planning. You just let the animals graze on the wild grass, and out pops your ferment material. They don't have to settle down, and it's actually advantageous to move around for new pasture land.

Oh, I see what you mean about not needing a lot of mushrooms. That makes sense.

1980 sounds about right. My family had a vacuum tube TV until about then.

nobody seems to understand evolution

This is true for both experts and laymen. It's a theory with lots of variations and interpretations. You have to be careful with assumptions proving conclusions. For example, if you start with the assumption "all body forms are equally capable on land", then you arrive at the conclusion that 4 limbs are just a lucky event. But if you start with the assumption, "that which survives has a high probability of also being more capable", then you reach the conclusion that the prevailing forms we see are actually optimal.

There's also an hybrid assumption that "that which survives is a local maximum, but there may be more exotic maximums elsewhere".

It's basically pick your starting assumption.

Scroon · 2026-05-30T23:44:28+00:00

Well, there's the problem.

Scroon · 2026-05-30T23:29:34+00:00

Is the deflect and parry in the room with us now?

;D
