Nope, there's no screw or anything mechanical holding it in place.

Thank you for the advice.

Bro, which company expected you to do a take home assignment that took 2.5 months? Name and shame the fuckers.

Solar, wind, and nuclear energy: are we a joke to you?

I had to get a new battery for my OP6T after using it for over 5 years - exclusively charging it using the fast charger. I'm sure that I can get another 3 years out of this phone, at the very least.

The battery + replacement service fee was around 40 USD.

I don't expect much more from the battery TBH.

The ads come at different entry and exit points for every user.

They're not referring to the YouTube ads, but the "let's take a minute to talk about today's sponsor nordvpn that I used on my trip to Antarctica." This is a part of the video file itself, and it starts and ends at the same time for all users.

solely for being nazis

At what point do you think it's okay to punch a nazi?

I just checked out fWallet and it doesn't support importing random PDFs so that's a huge downside to me since a lot of events I attend only send a PDF with barcodes/QR codes.

Cat.

Remember when realtors were allowed to self regulate?

Okay, I'm convinced. 😂

How are China's stringent lockdowns explained in this conspiracy theory? Also, where do I sign up as a member?

Awesome, thanks!

Where does something like "use a DC motor to build a tiny little fan" stand, in terms of safety?

Thanks, fire safety concerns have definitely played a major role in why I haven't actually started building stuff. I'll keep this in mind.

What you said makes sense. To provide context for why I am/was looking for the exact opposite --

I have a long string of failed hobbies and junk accumulated from all the stuff I've bought for them. I carry a ton of guilt because of this.

I guess I'm too hesitant to buy parts and have them lying around if I don't end up using them all if I abandon this too. That's the reason why I was hoping to buy a fixed set of parts for specific projects so that way I can at least convince myself that I used it all at least once.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for the helpful links. :)

That's a lot of moved goalposts to justify the weird temperature scale logic but okay.

You've essentially justified that 0F and 100F are what they are because some old people died when it was 100F (most people, including the old are perfectly fine at this temperature all around the world) and because you can manage at 0F while wearing a ton of layers and not need a heat source (do all old people manage to survive just fine at 10F or 20F by just putting on some layers?).

Either way, this pointless conversation had gone on for way too long. Have a good day! :)

I'm saying that 0F is waaaaaaay more dangerous than 100F so the logic of those particular temperatures being the 0-100 ends of the scale can't be explained by how dangerous they each are.

Almost everyone would be fine staying outside for 30 minutes at 100F without no external help (shade, cool drinks etc). Almost nobody would be fine after staying outside at 0F without external help (parka, thermals etc).

To me, with absolutely no data, it feels lie:

• 0F is as dangerous as 140F (you're long dead if you're outside in both cases)
• 100F is as dangerous as 40F (mildly uncomfortable but safe for a while)

So calling 0F and 100F both "really dangerous" and using that to justify them being the respective points of 0 and 100 disingenuous. Like, use Fahrenheit if that's what you're used to - I use it too because that's what I'm used to. But I don't explain the insane system with "it's because the two ends are reallllly dangerous."
