My wife was having salad for dinner and the dog absolutely wanted to try some, which resulted in the following soundtrack:
*whine*
*whine*
<wife reaches down with bit of salad>
*chomp*
*chew*
*chew*
*spit*
*huff*The indignation at the end was palpable 😁
The plus poles could still be soldered normally with some patience and the iron cranked up to 11, but for the minus poles (i.e. the metal can), I ended up heating a stainless steel bolt with the gas burner until red-hot and quickly using that to "solder" before it cooled. Did not burn down the house, counting that as a win. 🫣
I'm either getting a spot welder now, or the kind of soldering iron that needs three-phase power. Haven't decided yet.
Learned a valuable lesson today: while it is certainly _possible_ to rebuild a Li-Ion battery pack from 18650 cells without a spot welder, it is by no means _desirable_.
Oh boy what a slog. 😖
Mechanic: Resurrection (Netflix, 2016).
In short: this is the Hitman movie they should have made in the first place. A bunch of nasty weapon dealers get disposed of in very creative ways, and Jason Statham even looks the part 👌
Certainly better than "Hitman: Agent 47" (cf. https://hci.social/@floe/113392757423335697). Could just as well do without the shoehorned-in love story, though.
6/10.
@cmconseils I think this is the first joke I've ever seen that needs ligatures 👌
The Equalizer 1-3 (Netflix, 2014/18/23).
Ex-CIA black ops dude decides to use his "special set of skills" for good and cuts a bloody path of vengeance through 1) the Russian mafia, 2) some corrupt CIA ex-colleagues, and 3) the Camorra in Sicily.
Part 1 is mostly just bad guys getting sliced up by the dozen, 6/10.
Part 2 has a decent bit of backstory, 7/10.
Part 3 is a rehash of 1 & 2, just in Italy. 🤷 6/10.
If I want to host the occasional video call with people who only have access to a browser, what options would I have without hosting my own e.g. BigBlueButton instance? Are there any open servers (or something else)?
@bert_hubert Very interesting, thanks! It seems there is a tiny offset of perhaps +1-2 W on the guest machine?
@ennolenze Das wäre wohl das bestmögliche Ergebnis... aber beim ersten Teil habe ich Zweifel (die IAEA scheint ja keine erhöhte Strahlung gemessen zu haben, also würde ich vermuten, dass überhaupt kein spaltbares Material mehr vor Ort war?)
@GyrosGeier Ah sheesh. COVID? Get well soon.
@Lapizistik Iron Man aka Tony Stark! ... Damnit, military-industrial complex. 😑
Under the assumption that the #IAEA is neutral (and I have no reason to believe different): the fact that they have not reported any increased radiation around #Fordo, #Natanz, and #Isfahan makes it very likely that a) Donnie's Big Beautiful Bombs didn't actually do much damage, and/or b) the fissile material has left the building. 🤷
Either way, I assume that Iran now will go on a crash program and will have a workable nuclear warhead within a few months? Good job, Donnie. 😑
@sogo7 *slow clap* Savage. 👌
@gigabecquerel Ooh, Deutsches Museum? Always awesome 👍
Was sent this by my wife, who _does_ have a ridiculous amount of watercolour painting supplies. I feel like there's a message for me in there... 🤔
@nullagent Oooh, buuuuurn.
I'm really starting to get pissed about the LiPo batteries in average consumer electronics. In a somewhat tech-affine household, I feel like I'm spending half my evenings fixing thingies with (supposedly) non-user-replaceable batteries that died.
And most of them are devices that cost 100+ bucks, you'd think they could have spent 50 cents on a proper charge controller, but noooooo, we'll just dump 4.2V through a current-limiting resistor and call it a day. 😑
@bencc ok, too niche for me 😅 best guess (since you mentioned #fibre) would be wavelengths? But then the colours don't match... 🤔
