A digital solder gun with a properly sized tip and a magnifying glass with helping hands (flexible clips) helps immensely. I had to hand solder a surface mount resistor that looked about the size of the tip of a pencil. It wasn’t pretty but I got it done.

7·3 days agoI wish someone would do a NoClip-esque documentary on Sierra. That studio seems amazing and Roberta Williams was a crazy good game designer.
LIES! He was prominently featured in a a brief final race scene thereby filling is obligation and allowing another Lance Riddick film to be made.
(Guessing on the reason why they dragged him out for one 30 sec throwaway scene - but at least they could incorporate the cast for TD in Fast 9)
22·7 days agoUnfortunately, dental is typically separate from health care in the US. (It’s stupid).
Do you have any persistent pain or discomfort when doing things? Get that checked out.
Another +1 for colonoscopy.
Also if there’s a family history of anything nasty, see if there’s a test for it my maybe? (E.g. heart attacks, get blood work done for cholesterol).
Get a full physical including blood work.
2·12 days agoOr if you want to float some money the developer’s way, pick up last epoch.
11·12 days agoDon’t worry, AI will help us (make the situation much, much worse by simultaneously causing outages and causing a massive increase of emissions.)
8·14 days agoCome over to Last Epoch - I’ve had a much better experience solo and with friends. And shockingly, the global chat is helpful/welcoming of newbies.
Ah, I wonder if it’s something with the Wasabi S3 hosting. I’ll check into it.
It’s literally all I wanted to do when I saw the .bond TLD came up for registration.
You can take stronk.bond from my cold dead hands.
28·18 days agoHey! It could totally be some other nation state that has strong, documented ties to the party running against Harris!

Ideally, sure use a password generator - but I wouldn’t worry about the security of a password generator like the one I linked.
- There’s no linking of the password you generated to whichever account you are creating.
- There’s no guarantee from the web operator’s perspective that you are actually using the generated passwords for anything at all.
Again, use bitwarden’s generator - or equivalent - for passphrases, but in the absence of that correcthorsebatterystaple.com is good enough for a non-shared password.
Yes it’s weird, but is it a Walmart? Granted, I haven’t been in quite a while, but the signage looks off?
Again, fucking weird to wear a Trump flag as a cape to go grocery shopping.
The other thing to keep in mind with PiHole - some things are just going to break with it’s default blocking, namely the Google suggested results.
i know, I know - just don’t use google, but android phones/parents have a hard time not just braindead going to Google for results.
It’s not the end of the world - I’ve trained myself to just keep scrolling to actual results.
Another feature for PiHole is local DNS - if you want, you can set up custom dnsmasq entries for self hosted/internal services.
North of $25k… And that’s for the first round.
Because here’s the thing, every body is different. At first they go with the “average IVF woman’s” level of hormones to produce as many eggs as possible. Will it work for you? Who knows! They check blood work every week, and then at the end of the cycle they surgically remove anything that looks matures and try to fertilize. Say 12 eggs are retrieved, maybe 7 are successfully fertilized. Then they incubate for a few weeks - maybe 4 make it through and are candidates for surgical implant, (if so, you’re lucky and they’ll try one or two max for implant at a time). Or maybe all of them don’t make it.
But if you don’t have any viable options, well we try for round two with slightly tweaked hormones. Did round two not work? Time for round three with slightly different hormone levels/timing. (We learned so much about your specific body chemistry!)
Even after all of that, say you get a successful implantation - you’re now pregnant. All costs for prenatal care, hospital birth - that’s an add on to the $75k you’ve spent for IVF. And because humans are weird, there’s no guarantee with IVF that you or the baby will survive and be healthy!
