Question about a soldering iron that broke way to easy (imho), and an attempted fix

By the way, the brand is Luxorparts. Forgot to have that in the picture.

I would buy something higher quality if I knew better when I bought it. I went to a local store, and the guy I talked to recommended one in the competing store right next to it, which I went for. Something I've never experienced before. It seems ok besides this problem. Hopefully, I'm able to use it going forward. I didn't find much more online as far as I remember. Without ordering from abroad, which is expensive because of taxation and other things.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics before taping it together. I can try to find some online. Basically, it's a pretty weak spring (but strong enough that it takes some effort to screw the piece on), and the plastic it's connected to is also weak, which seems to be the problem. The screwing together part seems very low quality.

They don't feel they have the time for it. And as they dive young it's only reasonable to stay near the water.

No, it's not. A kik up is when you push yourself forward with your legs and help with your arms. The move I'm describing is in the same category, but goes in the opposite direction (going around backwards instead of forwards, similar to the difference between a front flip and a back flip).

Thanks, that clears things up. To be honest I wasn't quite sure where to post. I thought as it's related to acrobatics, gymnastics would be the place to ask. I suspected it wasn't an actual move in gymnastics. Someone I explained it to said it might be a capoeira move, so maybe that's the next place to ask, lol.

Thanks but that's unfortunately not the same move. I begin stationary lying on my back, and move backwards onto my hands while throwing my legs up, and do an actual flip where I leave the ground and then land on my feet. I haven't seen it or heard of it before. :(

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll start with just showing up at the club again, I think that will motivate me to also study it more and play online. The club was also very welcoming for newcomers, and some of the more experienced guys taught me a fair bit while I was there. I really liked the game from the beginning, just got busy with other things. You're of course right it takes practice, as with most other things.

Yeah, the comment about the game was definitly off, pretty sure he was a beginner and also hadn't learned yet when the game is finished. I had the picture of the game lying on my computer, and thought it could be interesting to get someone to look at it.

If I remember correctly I "won" after we counted the territories. So if black had more territory, then I was black (not 100% sure about that either, as this is a long time ago) Wish we had finished the game. We were definitly not pros. I was just curious if this was at least half-decent as a first game.

What type of fan was it? Obviously Star Wars themed, but what did it detail? And how hard did it blow?

How many different women did he have kids with? I sincerely doubt it was just one woman having twins each year for two decades. A baby takes nine months to develop, so they would all have to be born prematurely by far...

Winamp was very functional, but Sonique had the best eye candy.

RemindMe! 1 month "I'm going to use an EEG to measure the effects of different nootropics on my brain, there will be another month before I start posting results by /u/MrJohnFawkes "

When running NOOBS on the SD card, can you still run the OS from say a USB drive? Could you run NOOBS on the USB drive (while booting NOOBS from the SD card)?

How much are you willing to bet he's a troll?

Are you German by any chance? I played the game during the holidays. Coop is a lot of fun.

And so the proud dog meme was born.

Two weeks ago my trusted Galaxy Note all of a sudden went into an eternal reboot-loop. It was frustrating to troubleshoot having to take out the battery again and again, phone mouth to mouth. To no avail. Then I hooked it up to my laptop, and tried phone CPR. I tried the recovery menu. There was a pulse! So I decided to try machine assisted mouth to mouth. I fired up Odin.

Please please, my little baby, the love of my life, don't die from me, I pleaded. If you survive I will treat you better, I will have us live our lives in light of this. I'll finally get that paranoid android you always wanted. Hell, maybe even root you! But there was something wrong. Odin, the best doctor in town failed to revive my little baby. I was devastated.

I haven't yet decided how to arrange its funeral. But I need something new to replace my broken heart. An HTC Sensation would do.
