So is it literally a replacement, or an entirely different device?

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

Yeah, but that’s hundreds of years ago and they’re a staple food now. Unlike Jicamas, where I had to Google what that even is.

So, linguistically not really comparable

But these aren’t found in Western Europe

I know you can get it at Albert Heijn

Edit: I just learned that Aldi chocolate is sourced through Tony’s supply lines, so they should be the same level of slave-free

It isn’t American, and it doesn’t taste like shit.

The founder, Teun van der Keuken, is a Dutch guy. He started this journey with sueing himself before a Dutch judge, on account of participating in slave labour (by buying chocolate in a supermarket, knowing that it’s likely produced by slave labour)

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.

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.

Cool!

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

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.

I have a good gaming PC in my living room. Still I find myself on the couch with my steam deck very often.

That’s not an excuse to just skip all punctuation.

Not what you asked, but what you need to hear instead.

Sure, it’s easier not to confront any of your problems, and act like 100kg is still “skinny fat” somehow. But wallowing in self-pity isn’t going to make anything better, and it’s the worst for your social life, which in turn is the worst for your mental health.

I don’t expect you’ll hear this either, and that’s okay. I hope you find your way out of your misery at some point.

If you really believe Google is about to go out of business, you’re out of your mind

Taking out the high-pitch whine will make them much more bearable. It’s a student project, they did well. This isn’t groundbreaking Noble-prize stuff, but it doesn’t deserve all the hate it’s getting here either.

I don’t care if it was meant for it, it is the best tool I’ve found so far for what I want to do: put text over an image to create a custom gift certificate.

It works perfectly for what I want to do with it, except it doesn’t understand .webp. It seemed like it is implemented, but didn’t work. It does take .jpg.
