The fumes are from the flux, if you’re evaporating lead your iron is a few thousand degrees too high.

Still shouldn’t breathe that, but that’s also true for lead-free solder

Ah yeah, that’s a good point

A tendency to roll for a long time would be true for any many-sided die, no? I can’t imagine the 120 stopping quickly either.

AM doesn’t reach further than FM, it’s just that historically we’ve been using AM at lower frequencies, and these travel further. You could transmit with FM just as well on these frequencies, and get the same range.

These radio telescopes don’t transmit anything at all, they listen to radio waves coming from the cosmos. Much like a normal telescope doesn’t transmit light.

Would people just lie on the internet?

Only if it’s about a mother though.

It’s not even technically correct, you’d have to talk about female humans to be technically correct.

The same worries exist here too though. The blood bank isn’t allowed to pay you for your plasma, but it’s absolutely a for-profit organisation that runs on selling your plasma to pharmaceutical companies.

I still believe it’s a good thing to donate, but sometimes it feels a little icky that there’s also a businessmodel around it

IR bottom heaters are usually not strong enough for reballing. They’re for boards that are hard to solder, because there’s a lot of copper or a heatsink for example.

The bottom heater preheats the whole board, not to soldering temperatures but enough to make soldering a lot easier.

Or a dead dog. Why shoot a live one?

Die eier von Satan literally means Satan’s eggs. It’s a recipe for round cookies with hash. And no eggs.

Hmm, it seems to me most of those bubbles will happen not where you need them. Maybe if you throw in the base first and the acid later (or the other way around)

Soda and vinegar is an odd combination. Soda is a base, making water alkali. Vinegar is an acid, making water acidic. Together, they make water neutral again, with a lot of pretty bubbles.

Either one can work really well depending on the stuff you need to get rid of. But adding one to the other just weakens it.

Snowrunner, so yeah, same. Maybe I’d be lonely after a while.

Women are immensely proud to have a child with the children in their life

I really don’t know where that came from

Cool!

Are their taller lighthouses that are not land-based? Are they floating?

Sure, but don’t expect an instant answer to an IM.

instant messaging

Yeah, screw that. If it’s urgent, call me or walk by my desk. I’ll read IMs when I get to them. Not breaking up my workflow for every little thing.

Well, they got the frame before it where it was still stationary on the ground.

The ID.4 doesn’t just have capacitive buttons, it has swipe controls on the steering wheel.

And of the most frustrating cars I have ever driven.
