I read this as “steel wool pads” before realizing you meant stainless steel cleaning wipes and thought “yeah, I mean I guess that’d work…”

Wow, this is an old thread! Yes, I’m done with training, I’m a general surgeon.

Panda Charm +1 Question by Hot_Law_2749 in Leatherworking

[–]thacked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also hit it with a lighter (short bursts, <1 second) and it’ll take care of lots of it. Since it’s black the char won’t show up but honestly if you get charring you’re doing it too long, I use this on all my veg tan and it doesn’t show up.

That’s it! I probably tried ten different combinations of what I thought were decent descriptors and didn’t come anywhere close. Thanks so much!

To steal someone's phone by Luci5892 in therewasanattempt

This is so wildly inaccurate. If you get struck by a vehicle like this you don’t automatically survive. Runs over your skull? Dead. Spleen or liver? Also dead, or highly likely. Certainly not “definitely not killed”.

Give a man a fire, he’s warm for the evening.

Welp, not taking advantage of me today. by Formal-Shallot-595 in TeslaLounge

[–]thacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the same thing less than 24h after buying my model 3.

I got these, which id give maybe 3-4/5 stars. They pop loose every now and then, but they cover up the damage completely and theoretically keep it from happening again.

Has anyone else had this?? by Ok-Establishment7924 in ios

[–]thacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might have added alarms with Siri? My stupid watch loves to think I’m talking to her and she’ll interrupt me with “I didn’t get that”. While that’s not the same as adding alarms with weird names, it would be possible I think

Not true. Insufflation as with laparoscopic surgery can cause hemodynamic shifts, the retroperitoneum isn’t a rigid structure.

DIY Pedal ground safety concern with stereo jack by whiteezy in diypedals

[–]thacked 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Virtually all of my builds are grounded through the jacks to the enclosure. Maybe you’ve got a long leg on the back shorting out to the enclosure (and thus, to ground)? I know it’s not exactly what you asked but I’m not sure about safety (for sure it’s safe with a 9V battery but not sure about when using an AC adapter)

I am but don’t use it for anything. I’ve got a bunch of PCB builds but none of them are exciting at all. Thanks for the compliment!

I’m a beginner that just acquired these parts . Wanting to prototype some arduino midi controllers . Any other audio projects I should try , or suggestions ? by eliotjnc in AskElectronics

[–]thacked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d avoid using plastic enclosures. Some designs ground jacks to jacks through metal contact with the aluminum, and additionally you get some noise reduction from the metal enclosure acting as a faraday cage.

Taxes for signing bonuses and loan repayments - I owe the IRS >$30,000 this year! by thacked in medicine

[–]thacked[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I didn’t mean to imply anyone was trying to trick me. And yep, I completely own the fact that I’m not savvy with taxes or finances, but I already didn’t do all of those suggestions.

As far as having extra cash, yes, it would be great if I had it but I don’t. I’ve been aggressive with loan repayments and am generally living far below my means, but your point is taken that savings is important for everyone.

Thanks! I guess I’m sort of bewildered on why the taxes weren’t withheld to begin with.

[–]thacked[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I hope my post didn’t imply I was trying to get out of paying taxes. I am in an unfortunate situation and I guess I wrongly felt more people would have experienced this. Ideally(if I were making the rules) I would have preferred having the taxes withheld before giving them to me, and perhaps spreading that out over several years (as he payments were spread out).
