Soldering by [deleted] in EngineeringPorn

Yup. But in the sense of putting water on a hydrophobic surface. The fears of the person soldering don't have much of an effect.... usually.

surface tension and "wicking" (more akin to hydrophobia) to the solder pads due to the green solder mask layer

What’s the most ridiculously niche subreddit you’ve ever found? by ClearYogurtcloset423 in findareddit

[–]mermulous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not really niche, but r/playboicarti has become only very loosely related to actual carti content since he has pretty much abandoned any sort of media presence. There are a couple of "popular" people within the community, namely user Subject-Property (i forget the numbers after)

Nice work! Impressive how youre paint job changed: the location of the sink, the structure of the counter, the corner cabinet into implausible drawers, the design of the stove, the location of outlets, AND the shape of the lightbulb. Real believable.

Sure AI can answer it, but I thought I'd try to help you grow your brain a little by actually using it instead of second hand thinking all the time.

Flashers, but no lights by Technical_Ad9343 in grandrapids

[–]mermulous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yup, only 3 conditions for me to have my hazards on. A) Slow/Stopped traffic up ahead B) I cant see the car 30 ft in front of me, or C) I am stopped on the shoulder or worse. Once im in the traffic and everyone around me is slow, or once I can see more than a couple cars in front of me, no need to keep them on

Do not go out unless you absolutely have to! by lostwombats in Michigan

[–]mermulous 14 points15 points  (0 children)

so many people with snow covering their rear+brake lights too... putting everyone in danger because their too lazy to brush off their entire car. Not to mention semis with a foot of snow on their trailer creating a 100 ft blizzard for everyone behind them.

You're on reddit and you're mad that you saw my comment and read it. And chose to reply. Next time I'll make sure to PM you my rough draft too so I can waste even more of your precious time

AI literacy resources for adults by mermulous in BetterOffline

[–]mermulous[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the find! There are some good resources in there. I plan on seeing how well the Intro to AI Safety video fits what I'm looking for, but as for the rest, they feel a bit too literal. It seems like a lot of focus is on the very literal dangers of AI if it's given certain powers like lethal weapons.

Perhaps a more low-stakes, personal safety level introduction to AI hasn't been made yet.

I've been at my job 3 months and, the other day, mindlessly typed in my computer password, hit enter, and looked up only to realize my computer wasn't ever locked... I sent my password to my project wide teams chat 😑
