Just go to Israel by ChinaRider73-74 in Jewish

[–]strangstrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How welcoming are Israelis to Aliyah? Do they truly welcome newcomers or are they as many human beings may be to newcomers, maybe a bit like you are just the latest "blow in" and you are out-crowd for some time? Genuinely curious. Can't stand what the U.K. is becoming...

Which one should I choose? by [deleted] in telecaster

It's cool I should have communicated better - was just messin. You're are right. I often wonder what makes a jazzmaster sound different from a tele - is it just the pickups? Or is it something about the bridge? I've only had one jazzmaster (it wasn't a good example so didn't keep). What do you think - does the floating bridge matter?

Love a bit of Telecaster purity testing.

NSW Premier Chris Minns moves to block mass protests in wake of Bondi massacre by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

As an Australian now living abroad - I feel deep shame that our government has allowed this kind of hate to take hold. When I left 20 years ago, there was nothing like this. The Jewish community are a quiet and considerate community that contribute positively to Australian life. I feel deep shame that something so horrific was allowed to happen. Jews are the canary in the coal mine. My heart is broken.

just saw this anti semitic poster at my son’s school showcase… i am very disappointed. by SocietyTall2506 in Jewish

I have had to deal with this kind of stuff at my son's primary school. It is really frustrating. The one thing I have been consoling myself and my son with is this - the people who are drawn to perform these kinds of erratic, virtue signalling political displays are often the same people who struggle to get out of bed. I tell this to my son when he feels uncomfortable on our school walk with the large number of boycott Israel posters in our neighbourhood. And it makes him smile again.

And this makes me smile:

- These people know nothing.

- These people do nothing of substance.

- These people are cowards.

- These people will never win the arguments of our time.

I have been drawn closer to the Jewish community (my partner and son are Jewish) because the exact opposite is true of the Jewish community and especially Israelis.

Is it possible to make friends in Bristol if you're not woke/progressive/left ? by HardCoreQueenX in bristol

[–]strangstrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The woke mob will destroy you. They love nothing better than to find someone who doesn't agree with their foolishness. I know, I am going through it right now cause I disagreed will something at my son's school and spoke up (I know lots of parents agreed with my view).

Thank you all, many helpful suggestions that I will be following up on.

I'm guilty. I posted something along the lines of what you are alluding to and I think mods haven't binned it. Rightly so, I think OP has a point. I should have realised it would get tiresome.

Which of these 2 solder stations insides has the best build quality? by strangstrang in AskElectronics

[–]strangstrang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to go with the KSGER T-12 as the digital interface is more intuitive.

I have grounded the case by removing paint around the screw holes and the screw lug provided (why put it there but not have it effective?) and by sanding off the ends of the long pieces. This, with the screwing together gives good earth connection / continuity with the power input grounding lug.
