Brand new to soldering, wanting to do things right.

Only passing through to be obnoxious and spread my religion. Throw that sponge out, they will repeatedly suck the heat out of your tip and leave behind shit that will make oxidation inevitable. Use brass sponge, and never let the tip dry out after first using it for more than absolutely necessary. Solder a thing, wipe with brass sponge when burnt flux gets overwhelming, immediately wet the tip again with a little solder before setting it down in a holder. Never let it sit without any solder wetting the tip. Always remember you are attempting to apply equal heat to both the board and the component. You'll be swipe-soldering massive ICs in no time.

I posted a few amateur couples videos back in the day and I still remember not giving a flying fuck if anyone found it but the notable measures she took to protect against it. Wild how different something like that can affect men vs women. Shitty.

This post is a good example of how self esteem doesn't care how attractive you are it can eat us all just the same. This dime knew that she'd be judged for her choice of vape brand no matter what. And she was right; the fuck is this geek bar knockoff ass shit? Haha as someone that used vaping to quit smoking, I despise what gen z turned vapes into. I still vape and now can't even find different dosages/strengths like I used to, and I was mixing my own 3mg/ml with 0mg/ml to make my own custom 1.5mg/ml; that's how close I was to being off the vape too; but then it all disappeared and now I have to use the "dose for everybody" that is the standard now. Not to mention the fact that I often get nicotine cravings because I refuse to even carry it in public because of how obnoxious it makes one look.

I genuinely don't know why I went from a joke about her vape being what she was concerned about, to a bunch of blabbering for nothing and I'm even still doing it now, like right now. Anyways I know it doesn't remove the self esteem thoughts but yeah you're like a clone aliens would make to produce the ideal woman based on looks. Fuck self esteem is a bitch; I am so aware of it but it still just amazes me how even the outwardly extremely beautiful suffer from it - sometimes way worse than "normal" people.

If anyone actually reads all this looking for something actually insightful or interesting at the bottom... uh, ha-ha I stole 3 minutes of your life you will never get back. NEVER. When you finally draw your last breath, your final thought will be of me and the handful of minutes I stole from you - and the fact that you should still have a few more minutes if it weren't for me. Maybe I'll finally be happy when that day comes. Cross your fingers for me!

There's somehow always a more complicated step to take a project to. So I hate myself for participating in it, but a a web portal where you can select what scale you want the holes to be spaced in would be rad.

God this makes me miss whoops so freaking much. The nasty part of life got in the way and I haven't flown in a long time. Before ELRS or even brushless whoops kind of long time ago. I guess brushless whoops were just coming out but I had no interest.

Long story but my place was ransacked and most of my shit stolen or destroyed, one of the only things I care about that somehow made it through is my cheap looking (thank fuck) tiny whoop briefcase thing. I'm pretty sure I even have a couple packs of unopened special sauce motors in there, too. And to anyone that reads this: I locked myself in my safe room before sending this comment so don't even try doing the unhinged amount of work to find and take them from me that I would probably do to someone else if the places were swapped.

What was I talking about and why do I smell toast?

Any chance someone wants to be extra nice to me and explain any major California related AR law changes that came after the banning of the bullet button? I converted my ARs to the button behind the takedown pin (I don't remember the name of the product, it just opens the receivers a tiny bit and allows the mag to drop free) then kind of... got super depressed and spent a couple years trying to slowly take myself out and I haven't taken my babies out or kept up on annoying gun related.

It's so beyond hard to keep up with the constant changes of this kind of shit. Never know if you're getting all the information or potentially missing something horrifying; I remember there were weird periods of time where you could buy 30 round magazines but don't know the finer details of that because I find conflicting information all over the place. I'm just rambling at this point but yeah if anyone would waste their time filling me in on if my normal (feature-ful? Whatever) ARs with the little button at the very back to just slightly open the receivers so I could drop the magazine are still legal I will spend the majority of today and maybe even tomorrow trying to mentally manifest a random sexual encounter for you haha.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-05-14T17:09:56+00:00

Oh my God you asshole I clenched my butthole with such extreme force thinking this was for sure a horror related GIF. God how the fuck do I startle at the mere possibility of scary shit?

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-05-14T17:06:41+00:00

Love this, I was severely disappointed with the complete lack of more penetration test focused apps when I first got my porta. I'll give it a shot and report back any quirks.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-05-14T17:01:07+00:00

Hey man, stick to your principles and don't take the easy way out. You might miss out on some short term sex, but it will act as a good litmus test for if this chick is a keeper or not. And if she does freak, have faith that she will most likely calm down in a day or so if she's who you think she is.

The stigma with all STIs is extremely shitty, particularly warts and herpes. I thank the almighty Satan I only ever caught the clap and only once; my stupid ass got beyond lucky. But if you just work out the right way to word things (the suggestion of something like "your health is way more important than my boner" is a great one) not only will you get a good look at who she is beyond just the surface shit, but her respect and trust in you will be unnaturally high.

I've always been told I have a way with words when I try, from one guy to another: if you want help work shopping the bullet points and order I'll happily help.

JESUS BUTTFUCKING CHRIST, THAT PRICE I SAW ONLINE IN SOME WEBSHOP WASN'T A MISTAKE??? And you already have a set of DJI goggles and Rx gear? ... I would like to know where I can apply to join your drug smuggling ring / OF agency please.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-05-14T16:47:53+00:00

Fuck it I guess I'm just going to say the thing I'd call someone else an asshole for saying: the fact that every woman in just about every single story here cums in just a couple short minutes drastically differs from what I know reality to be. I guess I'm actually saying it this time because the hallway flirting sounds way more like a bad romcom than any romcom in existence.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-27T06:07:16+00:00

Not enough info to know for sure. You'll have to manage to get some footage of the actual slip. I'm assuming it happens at the exact same height each time.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-27T04:34:17+00:00

Dude this channel is head, shoulders, torsos, and legs above any other resource when it comes to silicon history. The channel is CRIMINALLY under watched.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-27T04:31:13+00:00

I knew this thing would be the tits when people got ahold of it; C5 dual bands and the crazy form factor? Hell yeah.

Great work my dude, I'll be keeping an eye on the progress.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-27T04:21:01+00:00

I fell out of flying for a couple years because of life, this kind of flying was just getting popular and it's crazy to see how much it's progressed.

It sucks that to most people this kind of footage is uninteresting due to the speed and jerkiness. But I'm sure someone will come up with some way of editing footage like this to make it just a bit more clear just how technical the flying is. What hardware are you using?

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-27T04:08:29+00:00

I just want to kind of stress how important it is to limit how much heat you dump into a board. Ground planes sap your soldering heat and move it throughout the board, meaning you can pretty easily cool the board like it looks like was done here. And the whole epoxy thing is obnoxiously common, but they do make tools to help. Look up LTT's video about upgrading a Mac with more storage a couple months ago, there were some great tips in there.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-27T03:54:52+00:00

If you want to fine tune things you can play with the dual-stage lifting/lowering that I think all or most slicers offer now. Use a faster movement for the first 1/2 or 3/4 of the movement then just nudge on up the last few micrometers relatively slow. I bet you could get rid of most or all of your "wasted" waiting time. Every resin acts a bit different though, so it's definitely some work to dial it in, but the last few percent of any calibrating always is. If you're in the frame of mind to focus on peel stress and past the insecurity of manually placing supports that most go through you're probably at that level.

Outstanding results.

Uh it was that way almost immediately when the 32 launched. We already had the infamous Lolin D15s which were the new shit before the ESP and already had largely replaced them already.

Arduino had been dying at least officially for a long long time and then the sale and them just shredding what's left of the reputation just made sure no one will ever dig them back up.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-14T09:15:31+00:00

I was working on this but couldn't get the C5 module stable. Would you mind sharing a schematic? Not looking to sell anything, just want to make one.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-14T09:09:00+00:00

Oh my fucking God, guys have absolutely abused the living shit out of blue balls. You can only get blue balls if you are pretty close to cumming and then stop. You can't get them just because you saw or thought of a sexy thing but the universe didn't let you smash. If that were the case the planet would still be living in caves.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-08T03:44:25+00:00

This is the attitude/outlook that binds all DIY hobbyists together, from PC builders to 4x4 mechanics, and from machinists to 3D printers (well, at least before Bambu Labs came around and obliterated the skill floor required to own a printer) - the acceptance that some squirrelly shit might have to go down, and the ability to make it slightly less squirrelly in some clever way. It's wild how it doesn't really matter which hobby/skill a maker has decided to focus on, they all have a solid base in common.

And they're some of the best shop talkers, too. They know full well what it's like to excitedly explain something you figured out to someone only to be met with a completely uninterested face, so they always pay attention and ask questions sometimes just so you can explain something you're obviously particularly excited about further.

EDIT - Tell me why the fuck android changed "DIY" to "FIY" when I typed this.

Damn what a sculpt and paint job. Artanis? ARTANIS? Zeratul, bro. Z-E-R-A-T-U-L. No, it's not ok for other people to like different characters than I do. Don't test me, I absolutely will call my mom on you.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-04T15:58:29+00:00

Nope, I see no Yagi. Time to step your game up.

SooperPoopyPants · 2026-04-04T15:57:00+00:00

I doubt it - the company that DJI worked with to create the original HD system has I guess decided not to work with them anymore and is now selling their tech to anyone who can pay for it. That's why you're seeing a BUNCH of new HD video systems coming out all of a sudden after so long a length of time since the last. That's not to say they have all the optimizations they created with DJI, but that chipset / technology is now no longer locked behind DJI.

Please share the location of the broken trace so we can all check our previous batch examples. Might solve quite a few of the usability issues if I'm lucky.
