  • Indigenous affairs minister Greg Rickford spoke publicly for the first time since First Nations chiefs near the proposed Ring of Fire mining development called for his resignation, as they claimed the minister has failed to contact leaders of evacuated communities.

    The timing and locations of the fire seemed odd; given the fires occurred on mineral rich lands, I wouldnt be surprised if the ford govt wanted access to it, which would necessitate making them look incompetent at handling the fires

  • As the others said, "well before" meaning " a long time before". General advice is to restrict your eating times to a 10 hour window and fast the remaining 14 hours, so breakfast at 9am means you must eat dinner by 7pm

  • Things i know will help but will not do

    • eat more fiber
    • more vegetal and fruit
    • exercise
    • sleep more
    • sleep regularly
    • no blue light before bed
    • stop eating well before bed
    • less sugar
    • less caffiene
    • less staring at screens
    • sitting less
    • cleaning (vacuuming, dusting) more regularly
  • He let money and fame go to his head and lost touch with what was important; his ego is more important than doing the right thing to him. Constant inaccuracies in their videos. Original employees started jumping ship because they weren't making enough. A bunch of scandals including messing up a review and tanking a startup before auctioning off the prototype the company lent them, employee harassment/verbal abuse, etc.

  • Why ask a question if you think you know better

  • One of Fred's catch phrases is literally "Let's split up and look for clues"

    His parents divorced.

  • Because they care more about hurting others than facing the consequences of their actions

  • Kessler syndrome

  • Maybe high frequency pickup on the ground/input causing the internal amplifiers to oscillate. It be EMI from its own internal power supplies. If you have something like LED or fluorescent lighting it might pick up high frequency noise from that.

    Could also be the ripple on the power supply increasing as the voltage drops from having no input.

    Perhaps try using an app like spectroid to try and figure out what frequency the noise is

  • The feminazis are back in action

  • Yes, 100b on what we dropped on them and then 300b as reparations

  • I got myself to start doing things through ticketing/ incident responses

    Split things into something:

    1. Problem description
    2. Root cause
    3. Immediate Actions / solution
    4. Corrective Actions

    With checkboxes on the solution /corrective actions. Then I do the immediate actions

    For example,

    Laundry

    1. Problem description
      1. Laundry on floor
    2. Root cause
      1. No hamper
      2. Did not do laundry
    3. Immediate Actions / solution
      1. Find basket
      2. Collect clothes
      3. Wash clothes
    4. Corrective Actions
      1. Acquire hamper
      2. Create laundry schedule.

    Each ticket is separate and gets moved from open to closed once complete so its not too many bullet points / checkboxes and a little less overwhelming. 3/4 are checkboxes.

  • False dichotomy

  • misandry isnt the reverse of misogyny

    Except it is

  • You've mistaken misogyny/misandry with patriarcy/matriarchy.

    Misandry is by definition the hatred of, distrust of, or prejudice against men, as misogyny is the same against women.

  • Biodiesel requires oil and sugarcane doesnt grow as well in north America given the climate, plus there are farm subsidies. Places like Brazil do use it for ethanol though

  • This particular project you might be able to get away without soldering if you use a breakout / expansion board like shown and just screw terminal down the wires. If you are feeling a bit more ambitious, you could design a PCB and have it fabricated for you by a service such as jlcpcb or pcbway

    Should you still require soldering:

    There are soldering stations, irons and guns that have automatic or trigger pull solder feed which can help with single handed operation - the cheaper feed solder guns will do well for something larger like through hole for simple projects like this. Id get some heavy weights, some kind of board stand/clamps, and kapton tape in a heavy / mounted to desk holder do you can pull tape off and use it to put on the board to hold things down / together / insulate other parts from slipping with the iron tip.

    If you are just doing wire to wire joints, there are some heat shrink solder couplings that you can put on like its heat shrink over twisted wires and heating it over 150C with a heat gun will solder it together (e.g. electriduct).

    I haven't personally had much luck with helping hands but ymmv. Soldering mat is good for spilled solder drops or if you accidentally hit the tip on the table. Solder flux (get in a syringe or squeeze bottle) helps a ton with getting a good joint. Also, some isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs / a rag / a toothbrush are good for cleaning the flux off once you are done - if you dont do this, the joint can corrode down the line. You will also want a fume extractor; basically a fan with a carbon filter, similar to an air purifier. This will keep the flux fumes out of your face and lungs.

    A hotplate and some tweezers could also help with surface mount stuff since you can just use the weights to hold it down and poke at stuff while letting the hotplate do the heating /soldering

    To sum it up

    Things you WILL need to solder:

    • solder (leaded probably better; just wash hands)
    • flux (syringe or squeeze bottle)
    • soldering iron/ gun (perhaps with wire feed)
    • some kind of stand/weights for holding the boards / wires
    • tweezers
    • fume extractor

    Things I think would really help:

    • silicone mat
    • isopropyl alcohol and swabs / rag / tissues
    • kapton tape (or other polyamide tape, the orangey stuff) and a dispenser / holder
    • normal heatshrink tubing/insulation

    Nice to have but might not be necessary:

    • hotplate
    • heatshrink solder couplings
  • Piefed
