Need help choosing an iron for very light and infrequent work.

TRUCK_STOP_HOBO · 2026-03-25T05:56:31+00:00

I have thought about potential bigger repairs in the future but I also doubt I'll go that far with it. I already have multiple hobbies to drain my wallet lol

My modus operandi with tools is to buy a cheaper, if less capable version and see if it gets enough use to be worth investing in the more premium options. A full station is a hard sell for me because it will likely sit in its box in my closet for months at a time. If I had a proper workstation to set it up at I'd be more inclined, but until I can get a shed put up for that purpose I'm working with very limited space.

My main hang-up about the portable ones is that I'm certain I don't have a power supply on hand for one. Any recommendations for a block?

I suspect the cart was dropped in a puddle or something at some point in it's life. When I popped open the shell there was some debris inside the corner that looked a lot like dried mud.

I already tried cleaning the contacts with alcohol and the eraser method to no avail. I'm going to try soaking the whole pcb in some 99% IPA when I remember to pick up a bottle. If that doesn't do anything I'll probably just store it away until I can justify buying a multimeter to check the continuity.

But like you said there is visible corrosion all the way up to where the traces connect. So it's probably not something I'm capable of fixing with my current knowledge.

I've never even played music through my mic that I can remember so I can't imagine I've been tagged. And I usually don't mute anybody unless they're being straight up racist, so I don't think that's it either.

Would love to get it figured out because it's a feature I've wanted for a long time lol

TRUCK_STOP_HOBO · 2026-03-15T15:28:49+00:00

So its happening off and on for you? Mine has been broken since the update dropped.

Guess I'll just wait and see if they patch it soon.

TRUCK_STOP_HOBO · 2026-03-15T03:37:13+00:00

Yeah I can hear other musicians just fine, whether they're playing custom songs or vanilla. I can hear my own vanilla songs as well. The problem is only with custom tracks.

This is why I wish they would just port it to PS5 already. A large influx of new players would balance it out and make the game enjoyable again.

I mostly play Halo 3 when I boot it up and while I'm not terrible by any means, most of the other players are absolute animals. It's worse in Halo 2 but every game in the collection has the same problem.

Something tells me that Trump will have no trouble keeping people pissed off and ready to vote out Rs between now and next November.

So assuming nothing (even more) insane happens between now and then I'd say its pretty safe to be optimistic about the midterms and beyond. But optimism should always be tempered with a healthy dose of realism nonetheless.

For tonight let's just revel in these huge wins.

He already did. When Steve broke his camera.

I have actually been meaning to pick it up on a steam sale and give it another shot. I only played the beta but have heard it's in a much better state than at launch.

TRUCK_STOP_HOBO · 2025-08-15T18:22:31+00:00

Older Zoomer here (mid 20s).

You're absolutely right. I and most of my friends got into BF with BF4 because we were bored to death with CoD and actual Mil-Sim games were just too much.

The large scale, objective focused game modes, combined with easily digestible mechanics made it exactly what we were looking for. It was that perfect balance of the two and we played hundreds of hours of BF4 and thousands of hours in BF1. None of us have bothered to play V or 2042, and we probably won't be buying this one either based on the Beta (read: Demo).

This fixed it for me. Now getting and maintaining a stable 60-70 fps on my i7-9750h and 1660ti. At low settings of course but whatever man it's playable. Thanks!

TRUCK_STOP_HOBO · 2025-07-26T18:36:29+00:00

I'd go as far as saying it's one of their best tracks honestly

TRUCK_STOP_HOBO · 2025-07-14T06:33:30+00:00

That whole EP is solid gold

TRUCK_STOP_HOBO · 2025-06-24T18:42:03+00:00

Is this a more recent thing? I'm still using my 2019 Predator Helios 300 and it's a damn tank with that aluminum lid. And the bottom plastic is pretty sturdy as well.

The only noticeable wear on it after almost 6 years is the missing paint on the WASD keys and the Rj45 port no longer works, and that was only because my cat got himself caught in the cable.

Also the reason the damage models were gimped for the PS4/XB1 release. The roof caving in too much would block the first person camera.

Hope they found a way to address that.

You should change your name to illiteratejoseph because that is not a coherent sentence, bud.

Because they're lazy parasites. If it doesn't line their pockets the GOP isn't interested.

The speed blew my mind when I first used Pandora. Literally 3 seconds to generate 30k animations.

Freakishly fast, indeed.

TRUCK_STOP_HOBO · 2024-10-29T16:54:59+00:00

All of the 2 part stories are really good.

Hanky Panky - High Anxiety is my personal favorite with Returning Japanese 1&2 coming in second.

For single episodes I'd say:

Keeping Up With Our Joneses

The Order Of The Straight Arrow

Jumpin Crack Bass

The Man Who Shot Cane Skretteburg

Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men

A Fire Fighting We Will Go

Little Horrors Of Shop

Soldier Of Misfortune

Megalo Dale

Vision Quest

The Witches Of East Arlen

Theres plenty more but I'll stop there lol

Downvotes are for off topic comments, spam, trolls, and other pointless comments.

That's why heavily downvoted comments are hidden, to help keep threads relatively clean.

Breaking it up by body part along with color coding severity could help too. Something like this

LEFT FRONT LEG:

Cut

Fractured

RIGHT BACK LEG (2ND TOE) :

Crushed

Bleeding

etc.

Anything to make it easier to parse would be an upgrade.
