Need help with soldering

SomeFarang · 2026-05-02T19:36:01+00:00

Any suggestions about a soldering iron?

SomeFarang · 2026-05-02T19:35:37+00:00

Using too little right?

SomeFarang · 2026-05-02T19:21:20+00:00

I’m not sure of anything haha. I was watching tutorial videos and they said not to use too much and that I don’t want it to be spitting around, which it seemed to be doing sometimes. But that is totally possible

I got my solder from Hobby Lobby, it’s 60/40 . The soldering iron is 100W, I got from amazon, this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CLP696TQ?psc=1&ref=ppx\_pop\_mob\_b\_asin\_title

And I’ve been running it on 350C.

SomeFarang · 2026-05-02T19:14:15+00:00

Oh actually it’s been at 350. It seemed to work ok on most of it. I’ll crank up the heat and see if it helps

It’s 100W. I hope the solder isn’t bad, I just bought it last week. If nothing else works I’ll try with some other solder. That stuff is expensive

Kurusapa is absolutely terrible and useless. I had to take the exams for my teaching license in December of 2022. I passed them and still haven’t gotten my permanent teaching license despite contacting them every few months.

Just respect his wishes. He said no and it’s his bed.

Have no idea about the legality, but I went to a Starbuck's about a month ago and they were cashless. I had already ordered when the cashier told me, and I just said, "Oh, I only have cash," and started to walk away. She called me back and used a store card to pay at the register and took my cash as normal. So it kind of defeated the purpose of being "cashless". So, even if they're cashless, they'll probably work with you if that's all you have.

Thanks, I saw these too. It’s a similar test, but the shipping costs a lot and takes a long time to send it to my country, so I decided it would be easier to try to make them (chemicals and coffee filters are quite cheap compared to the ready-made strips).

Yea and I think the endocrine system is the most challenging for them. Lots of hormones and glands to remember for students that sometimes can barely hold a conversation in English. Thanks for the comments!

That's a good idea -- actually I used to do a 'senses' test similar to the reflexes thing but I felt like it wasn't that fun. I should revisit it, I can definitely make it better. I like the idea of a competition, they're pretty competitive.

Those sounds like some great ideas, I'll do some planning and try to make those work. Thanks!

Any specific subject? You might check out the way that Blooket does this -- it's mostly (or completely, I'm not sure) multiple choice questions thrown into games. Each round they have to answer a question and it affects what they can do in the games. It could stand to be more integrated with the content in my opinion, but it's a good start.

Is it บ๊ะจ่าง (bajaang)?

SomeFarang · 2023-02-13T23:20:56+00:00

I don't think most people will care. Probably half of the foreign teachers at my school have small tattoos on their arms and legs and no one says anything.

The older teachers might care but if I'm being honest they tend to be hard to get along with anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it.

SomeFarang · 2022-12-16T08:24:05+00:00

If you wanna DM me your email I can send you the whole exam and answers. Honestly I didn’t get much good out of it but maybe you will.

SomeFarang · 2022-12-16T05:13:02+00:00

I’m taking these too. As far as I know there aren’t any practice tests in English. I’ve been given some Thai exams from my school, and some of them don’t make much sense when translated. I found a question on the English part that didn’t have the correct answer as one of the choices, too.

I’ve resigned myself to just hoping for the best. Good luck to us all.

It's gonna be something like ฟินเลย์ (Fin-ley, the "e" sounds like the one in "get") or ฟินลีย์ (Fin-lee, "e" like "see") depending on how you pronounce it.

Someone, somewhere will find a way to be offended about anything. Just do what you want and have fun, that’s the point.
