My 10 year old cousin’s daughter’s first time doing SMD… rework? Immediately after discovering putting big blobs of solder on she discovered blobs of solder could remove components. Then it was blobs of components, followed by tower. Took her a sec to get the hang of de-soldering the SOT 89.

Wait, which one is the red wire?

I find it "funny" that K9s are considered equal to human cops when it comes to what you do, but they suddenly become downgraded to merely a punching bag tool when it comes to how their handler treats them

when coding in the united kingdom, you need to use the give way keyword instead of yield for python generator functions.

but even if you don't do those things, what matters more is your ability to be honest and admit your own mistakes and learn from them and not be a damn asshole. even the most unprepared parent who has these things is better than the most educated self-absorbed motherfucker who can't be bothered to care about anybody but themselves.

better yet — don't have fucking kids if you cannot 100% be sure you won't hurt them or abuse them. yes, even if you mean it well. think long, and think hard. educate yourself on child psychology, pedagogics and raising children. read on trauma. read on social issues — your kid might be trans or gay or neurodivergent or disabled or whatnot.

oh, difficult? yeah no fucking shit sherlock you have a life in your hands of course it's gonna be difficult.

The idea that UCLA can offer a course completely "AI" generated from top to bottom and advertise part of the virtue of this approach being preventing students from using chatGPT in their assignments is an unspeakably powerful indictment of how fucked up our educational models are.

Now that I have more followers, I'm reaching out again to say I'm looking for a Sami sensitivity reader to review about 850 words of a fantasy novel. Very happy to pay said reader and also happy to just have a chat about themes if reading/reviewing isn't possible.

kids don’t even know you used to go to the mall and go to a store inside the mall and find boxes that had computer programs inside and you’d look at the boxes and compare them to other boxes and decide which computer programs you wanted to run and pay for them at the counter and take them home and find out they sucked ass. they just don’t know.

The voting for Worst Person In Tech has begun. I thought this would be easy, but there are some real tough choices! https://forms.gle/XYERvxNFTBV1XV6A8

I love when I'm on the Steam forum and someone quotes me and says "what did you mean by this" and then I reply and tell them what I meant by that and they say "thank you for clearing that up now I understand"
