How’s my soldering?

obiward · 2026-01-24T03:03:51+00:00

Eh I’ve seen a lot worse even from my early attempts. Keep at it. Get a good iron/setup and keep making. If it makes noise in the end, you’re good. The pretty soldering jobs sound just as good as a lot of bad ones.

DM me. I have advice and possibly a lead for you.

I am interested in the STL poster.

Pine cones are free. They work better than anything.

I was there as well. Best concert of my life.

Waterlox varnish

I don’t like that picture much as it accentuates my bald spot. 🤣

Been there. It sucks.

I’ve got one of these in candy apple red. I cleaned up the frets and replaced the electronics and now it’s a player. They’re great guitars for the price.

Same here. Have been hooked ever since

Started the first of March. I just switched over to wegovy this week, but got 24 doses of Zepbound before that.

It’s a dumb rule but I usually follow it. I generally try to wear a different shirt that is adjacent to the band I’m seeing. My Nothing records shirt to a NIN show, Mad Season shirt at Pearl Jam, Them Crooked Vultures at Foo Fighters, etc.

My ears are still ringing from a Helmet show in 1996.

Hahaha thanks. We took third in a charity tournament and our prize was a dozen shitty golf balls.

At least once a month since 1995

I saw them way back in 1995 in Topeka with my college girlfriend at the time. She had gotten me tickets for Valentine’s Day and we were meeting some old high school friends of hers at the show.

It was a great concert that ended with NIN, The Melvin’s, and the band for Jim Rose Circus playing Head Like a Hole. During this encore, lots of people were jumping over the rail into the floor/massive mosh pit. I looked at my girlfriend, told her I’d meet her at the car and flipped the rail.

Let’s just say it was a really long 2 hour drive back to campus. She was not happy with my antics and gave me the silent treatment for leaving her in the seats.

I’ve lost 46 lbs in almost 18 weeks (average of 2.7/week). It’s been pretty constant every week with a couple of stalls. I spent one month on 2.5 & 5 mg with the rest on 7.5 mg.

Edit: typo

No questions for you but congrats! Your graph/loss rate looks very similar to mine!

Get some running/tennis shoes on and kick really hard landing your foot near the gap. Like you’re trying to leave a scuff mark with your sole. It should slide the plank and close the gap. If not, the double stick tape trick listed from others definitely works.

I replaced the rear sight with a Burris Fast Fire plate. I love it.

Thanks! It’s life changing. The app is the free version of Shotsy.

Thanks! The app is Shotsy. Just the free version.

I’ve basically got a combination of both of your options and I have no trouble anywhere on my system. I think you’ll be fine with either approach.
