The phone itself (by IMEI) is a brick. The sim and same phone number were assigned to a new phone and they texted that number

Just searched my old user names and found absolutely nothing except for one post from 2012 on Minecraft forums
It’s one part a lack of SEO/searchability and nine parts sites that are dead and gone taking that information with them.
I haven’t been the best about backups, passwords, etc but I’ll probably set up a dead mans switch at some point to release my passwords to my family and delete my drives if/when I can’t do it myself. I’ve already got bro on call to drive to my house and shred the drives •=•
Choosing rice either wasn’t random or you just stumbled onto “ricing” and “ricers” which comes from a derogatory name for Japanese motorcycle and cars in the 60s-80s? (“rice burner” and “rice rocket”). . Ricing/ricer later became a term for modded cars/motorcycles which were popular in Japan.
That’s where r/ricing and “Linux ricing” came from for Linux/unix theming. It’s not unique to that either. People use the term for their gaming rigs. An example of “ricing” in this context is adding tons of RGB LEDs. Some people consider the term racist, other people don’t care and continue to use it
Not really but kinda. Depends on how you sort the feed. There’s new comments / active / most comments (and maybe scaled?) which factor in number of comments but if you don’t sort by that then number of comments doesn’t affect it in the feed. Also, someone who comments a lot of nonsense is probably going to get blocked, down voted, reported / banned or their posts removed.
There’s also top hour/the/12hr/day/week/month/year, controversial, new, etc. which won’t factor comments in.
People have gone to jail without rape kits being used based entirely on circumstantial evidence (e.g. “you were in the area around the time it happened”). While I would wish the justice system in every country were 100% accurate, it is far too common for the wrong person to be incarcerated to just sentence people to death.
What about in the case of a false accusation of rape or when the wrong person (i.e. not the person who committed the crime but a different person) is inevitably tried and found guilty
Hm so a false accusation leading to a the lynching of an innocent man is completely ok though. They’re not human, right?
You made a stupid post asking “why don’t we do this: if people do X then we should do Y.” People don’t support Y and you then say they must then support people who do X? You are putting words in people’s mouths an they don’t like that. You are also advocating for harm against people who may be innocent or are also human.
Ever heard of Emmett Till? He a black boy who was accused of whistling at a white woman in 1955 and was lynched, tortured and killed for it. He didn’t do it, and the woman much later admitted she lied about it. Yet nothing has happened to her and his murderers were acquitted
One example I could think of is title-tagged posts given the lack of a tag implementation
In general, there’s pros and cons to both. Iirc inflation is considered to be a bit better than deflation because deflation is linked to economic crisis, high unemployment, low productivity, and low sales. Inflation isn’t much better but having a very small amount of inflation is more manageable and has some benefits.
The ones for autism :•|
I felt the same the first time I tried but it honestly takes a few tries to start getting it right. The kind of iron and solder matter a lot; the older ceramic core ones suck and the JBC/pinecil type are much superior. Part of the problem with the ceramic type ones is they have one setting - full blast - and not good temperature control. With a pinecil/JBC you can set the temperature to 300C and expect to get 300C. Too hot and it will boil off the flux before you’re done soldering and you just get crud.
In terms of solder, leaded rosin core solder is the best. Don’t worry about the lead, as long as you wash your hands. Use a brass sponge type thing to clean the tip frequently to remove crud
For through holes, I’d say get some veroboard off eBay and a bunch of cheap resistors and just start plugging away until you get better. Process is basically - have tip with a bit of solder, poke to pad and pin, put solder into joint and hold 1-3 seconds until solder flows onto pad and pin, remove tip. Putting some flux on in advance helps remove the oxides before soldering
For surface mount (side pads/pins), there are kits with cheap/obsolete/trash components you can just plug away at without fear of messing anything up. Soldering smt is a bit annoying but doable by hand without much training. the process is basically: tin one pad, use tweezers to place part and reheat the solder until the part is in place, solder the rest of the pads, reheat first pad to relieve stress.
Even for large parts, I used to have trouble with unsteady hands. If you are doing smt you really need a microscope or magnifying glass for anything smaller than 0805 - really helps with the visual feedback loop for hand positioning. A microscope significantly improved my dexterity and hand steadiness
What kind of emails are you sending to what kind of people, and how frequently that AI increases your productivity? I don’t think I ever have emails that AI could do better or faster, since it’d probably take longer to explain to the AI what I need it to write than to type it out myself. Then again I’m in an engineering setting and it’s pretty much just numbers, confirmations, basic requests, and issue descriptions, IT tickets, mostly
You might be able to soak it in some kind of water/soap or isopropyl bath and then dry it. If it has electronics it might not be doable without taking things apart
Definitely higher than the softening point of the plastic. What kind of parts? Car, residential appliance, etc?
I have more than once found a post my exact problem with an exact solution and sources, only to go back and realize it was my own post from n years back
It seems the pallet went through the building they were in, in a residential area of a refugee camp. They probably didn’t even see it
Perhaps a low table or an office chair without arm rests to get a closer to waist level
There’s a name for that; nominative determinism
Typically if you report the phone stolen to your provider they blacklist the IMEI which gets shared with other providers so the phone can no longer be used. I was unclear on this part but a new e-sim can be provided for the new phone, and the old sim banned or the old one transferred. Regardless, the old phone will still show the IMEI/sim/phone number, which is how they got that to text them
