so to give context to my previous status(completely forgot about it after changing tabs). My dad has a shed in the drive way thats right not being used for storage. I recently got the idea that I could turn it into a little workshop of sorts. So before I empty it out i need a place to move everything. So I thought about building a loft in larger shed my dad has. Materials cost money.
Then once I empty it I need to run power to it, but I also remembered I have a 3d printer and an older pc i can set up. So I'll also want to run internet to it. AND I live in wisconsin, so the winter gets quite cold(not this year for some reason) so I'll want to insulate it and heat it. Along with putting up sheeting for a bit of fire resistance. So more money.
MONEY IS THE PROBLEM OF EVERYTHING
IDEAS COMPOUNDING ON IDEAS ARE THE PROBLEM OF EVERYTHING

How do you forget that you own a 3D Printer ? I mean a 3D Printer is the cool kid, unlike yestern-decades 2D Printer.

its such a cool kid that it got shamed into the closet and forgotten. But soon it shall come out of a closet with new founded confidence.

first two went decent, went, but then the white bastard, THAT WHITE CABLE just had to ruin my success
its disgusting so dont look if you want to be safe
Spoilerpretty sure the left cup is slightly louder as well because of it.

If I had to guess what happened, you didn't use additional flux and you had to heat it up so much the flux that's included in the tin (usually) just vaporized and the insulation melted
And the solder doesn't bead up nicely as well
Additional flux is very nice to have if you want clean solders

I had my soldering station set to 400F, i had looked up the temp for the 60/40 solder i used, what i found said 400F was a good temp, so maybe it was lack of flux, since i just reused the solder that were already on the pad

if you dont wanna buy additional flux, just remove the old tin from the wires, then heat up the area before applying new tin, it should melt the instant it touched the things you want to connect.
this will minimise the amount of time the flux included in the tin have to vaporize

so my cats had chewed through my headphone cable a few times last year, i've put off replacing it this time for a few months at this point. Decided to get around to doing it now. And now i remember why i put it off.
There's very little slack in the wires to move the driver into an easier position to solder, plus due to how headphones are and like to clamp back together, its tough to get it in a position to both have the drive be somewhat possible to solder AND not clamp back together.
Now i want to stab myself with my soldering iron
this is the best i can get and im still gonna hate every second of it

So totalled my ford focus on the 3rd, i've been driving my dads truck to get to work for the time being. I really don't like how big modern trucks are(i say modern even though 2014 is 9 years ago). And maybe its just that I don't have a replacement yet but I miss my Focus, never thought I would even say that. I could be that I just don't have a replacement, that the only car i have actual experience with driving was the focus, or I actually liked the focus, but I miss it.
-
they are nice little cars imo. reliable engines, and transmissions(if manual). rip focus..
edit: glad you weren't injured in the accident btw.

I remember how jarring of an experience it was to go from driving my little Kia Spectra to driving my grandpa's Chevy Silverado one night. I couldn't tell where the lane lines were relative to the truck's sides and it was anxiety-inducing.

pretty much exactly how it felt and then you also add on to it how i just crashed my car, which made it even worse.

I think they're doing stuff for car companies and companies using the 12nm node and older.

are they trying to develop smaller nodes?

They gave up on 7nm cos it was too expensive.
Since then they haven't gone smaller than 12nm.
