Looking for cable assembly factory.

For a work project, I am looking for a factory that performs cable assembly to order. The factory I have worked with previously has closed, and I can't find another one that wants to accept this order because of "small quantities".

I need the assembly of different types of cables, from one conductor to fifty conductors, from 16AWG to 24AWG. Different types of connectors/terminals. A total of 2300 cables.

Does anyone know of one where I can request a quote? It doesn't matter if it is an international order. Thank you. Boosts welcome.

your vibes are off. please vibrate differently. thank you

I'm the main organizer when it comes to communication and tech of our local autistic community. So I get a lot of e-mails.

It's mostly autistic people or relatives looking for resources and help or who want to join our meetings.

And then there are researchers of every possible kind and level.

I've been doing this for about 9 years now and I can tell you one thing. They NEVER approach us before they start their projects. They never even waste a single thought about participation or what their research could give back to the community.

They always want one thing: access to research subjects. (I prefer objects, actually. It's just more honest).

There was only one project in all those years where autistic researchers and community were involved from the start and they were actually looking into something that could benefit us and not only their neurotypical curiosity.

Now I got another request. It's about "Dating" and "relationships" and it's just awful. They are not even doing the science part right in this one. So yes, I get protective. I only have to decide if I want to confront them or just ignore it because it's not worth my time and energy. I don't have much of that anyway.

Just stop studying us like that for fucks sake

a popular myth is that people who are Very Computer have computers that work. nothing could be further from the truth. the Very Computer are capable of generating much more novel and fascinating ways to make computers not fucking work and exercise this capability wantonly

Hey cis folks: I read an advice column yesterday that makes it clear we need to do the style guide again.

Trans is an adjective. The term is "trans woman." Running it together as one word is a TERF dog whistle.

You know how you wouldn't call a green house a greenhouse, because greenhouses are not actually houses? It's like that.

Installing an adblocker is the gateway drug into anti-consumerism, which is in turn the gateway drug into anti-capitalism.

Tell all your friends how to install adblockers.

@witchfynder_finder it is. Chronic sleep deprivation is so incredibly unhealthy, forcing us into a morning person sleep rhythm is violence.

I'm seeing a lot of proclamations that there should be no exceptions to describing your images or that there's no reason to interact with any that aren't described.

I know these mean well, but they are themselves ableist.

Disabled people know that access needs can clash. I benefit from described images, but I know some people struggle to write them because of their own disabilities.

And that's okay! The culture of image descriptions is great here but it should never be absolutist.

E-mail was supposed to be decentralised, but instead, we've hit a point where people just tell me the username part.

"Is there an @ coming?" I ask.

They expect me to fill in "@gmail.com" by default. 😫

Some of y'all care way more about revenge than actual justice and it fucking shows.

I can't move to the Fediverse properly until I reproduce my famous pinned post from the birdsite, so here it is:

P.S.A. To all vintage computer and video game collectors:

Go through your collections and GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!

Now! Don't wait! Seriously, put down the phone, go to your collection and take out all the batteries. Right now! Even if they look "okay" they are NOT SAFE after this much time.
