Damn, made me chuckle

Anyways, going by

, i have had multiple people (2, which is not a lot but it’s weird it happened more then once) say that they couldnt solder just to discover that they were using their soldering iron wrong.

When you press the solder against the iron’s tip, it should get wicked by the tip, and remain there until you press it on some wire/component leads.

If the solder beads up and slips away from the iron, or beads up and forms a blob at the end of the solder wire, it’s oxidised and you probably need to get a new tip. It needs to be shiny and metallic.

The tip needs to be regularely cleaned while soldering by brushing it on a wet sponge, and never let the iron cool down without some solder on the tip to prevent oxidation.

also, FLUX FLUX FLUX

wasnt the whole point to be able to solder one yourself?

founder is a bit hard to bear sometimes. He banned me from all channels over a the tiniest little argument and so I can’t interact with and get any support from the community

i have seen the harsh takes on the valetudo website but thought it was a joke, what happened to deserve that

Instead of being mean and changing subjects, do you have anything interesting to add?

Then I guess Chomsky and the UN OHCHR are Russian trolls as well.

you are the troll, lmao

chomsky js right but that doesn’t excuse the russians currently doing much worse shit. being a “communist” country does not excuse your actions.

do you want cancer to kill you now or do chemo and live for another 20 years?

flawed argument, this is the real world and you do have to compare options.

Making an imaginary secret third option to win the fight is reserved for kids in the playground

Who froze all Russian assets and tried to make it illegal on a global scale to do business with “the bad guy” state? Biden. And while you may hate Russia if you’re a typical propagandized westerner, that doesn’t mean most of the rest of the world, particularly global south countries, do as well.

So you condone genocide as long as it’s done by “communists”. got it.

doesnt cost shit to me…

don’t talk to me about wasting time

you can just shut up you know

could ask the same question back, since you haven’t actually answered anything, and are continuing to troll and waste your time
