Druggies are truly mothers of invention. Like the guy that can make a bong out of an apple, and it gets less and less humorous the heavier you go. You ever see those little roses at the convenience store? They're not for Valentine's Day.
Two Cracked references in one day. I've lost any clout I had here. Cracked doesn't get much respect. Honestly it used to be a lot better. Read some of the stuff by Seanbaby if you like. Those are great.
The rose is something pretty to look at while you're smoking crack out of the readymade pipe it came in.
That was an eloquent description! You get... ummm...this pic of stuff I soldered last weekend. Yeah, I need better prizes.
Thankee sai! That's a cool skill you got there. Is that the only thing you're soldering? wink wink
Why no, good hu-person! For I have also soldered my own electric harness for a bracelet that won an award. This was my first adventure with heat-shrink tubing and it went very well (lessons learned: soldering irons can't focus the heat to shrink a tube, matches work okay but they'll leave scorch marks). I also programmed the Arduino Pro Mini that wound up inside the actual bracelet. I only got back into soldering recently. I had done it back in college, when I would make audio cables with XLR or 1/4" jacks. That was so annoying with only a table clamp but no alligator clips, so I hadn't gone back to it until I started playing with MCUs (micro controller units -- low-power CPUs with on-chip RAM and flash). So I picked up a Simon Says learn to solder kit and got right back into the swing. PTH (poke through hole) soldering is so much easier than hoping a wire will stay put on a tiny half-pipe without a hole to loop the wire. Meanwhile I have a small backlog of objects that I need or want to solder. I picked up two converter shields for my Teensy 3.0 and 3.1, which are 32-bit MCUs of high quality but almost random pinout locations. While I was visiting Noisebridge I even grabbed a DC Boarduino kit, which gives you an Arduino meant to mount directly onto a breadboard to make project testing a lot easier. My comfort with electrical projects has increased. Back in May I even replaced three of the Bakelite two-prong outlets in my grandmother's house with grounded three-prongs. The scary cloth-wrapped rubber insulators on the wires have really held up! Oh wait, you meant using a soldering iron to smolder the delicious crackocaine? Why no. Tin and lead vapor are no good for the lungs.
pseydtonne is clearly a robot. A robot with soldering irons for arms and the creativity to use them. We're all doomed to wear heat-shrink tubing collars!Why no, good hu-person!
