I couldn't even count the number of sketchy rear end residential deliveries we pulled off using tires when I was dispatching. Engine blocks, transmissions, treadmills.. If you can snatch it off the back of a trailer it'll land easy peasy.

Two things I don't understand. One is why don't that pile of tyres jump back up and claim their vengeance upon the fool who wronged them flat with a culvert, and the other one is why do them little fires go both ways on that spinny table thingy?

I made a bottle of conductive ink. It's pretty fun stuff to mess around with. You can also use it as a capasitive touch so the ink is responsive to human touch. Only draw back is because it uses graphite powder as the conductor you can only really get black ink out of it.

You can also get coopper and silver based conductive paints but it's expensive as hell. I made some of my own with powdered graphite that worked well but it was a pain in the rear end to work with.

What did you use for the base? The one I made used the following, which was pretty easy to work with albeit a bit slow to dry.

1,000 mL water
300g Graphite
100g Gum Arabic
3mL Glycerine
5mL Listerine

My recipe was nowhere near this complex. I was using cheap poo poo like glue, acrylic paint, 2 part epoxies. I was trying to 3D print PCBs with trenches for traces and filling those trenches in with the paint after placing components. I made a few working PCBs like this for projects but the consistency of mine was less ink/paint and more like a mud.

It's too much of a hassle for me to bother with it again.

How strong is the adhesion of your mix? I might swipe it if it can actually hold components in place

Hold components probably not at all, but you can paint the traces and solder the components on. The ink I made was very viscous and would go on like a water paint. You can thicken it up with more gum arabic but run the risk of loosing conductivity. You could also try cold casting with copper/aluminum powder and resin but I have not tried that for circuit boards.

I mainly used it for artistic value, making paintings you touch to produce musical notes via Arduino or silk screening it onto shirts.

I only ever hear about it meaning "white power" on these forums. No one in the real world thinks it means anything other than OK.

Of course, and I would love to be wrong, but generally in this benighted day and age, an overt okay sign where it's not expected is likely to be a fuckin Nazi bullshit thing. But, again, I'd love to be wrong.

I mean of course the sign isn't now the property of nazi scum but people flash it publically to show their allegiance :(

Thankfully, everyone who isn't a beep boop goon can recognise that context is important and discern the difference between right wingers doing it at a rally* and someone just flashing a quick 'okay' at their friends when asked if they're ready, or what have you.





* or a congressional staffer in the background of a C-SPAN shot, or a line of cops.

I don't consider myself significantly beep boop about stuff but I found myself agreeing with whoever it was that pointed out the okay sign. I don't think it's innocent most times because it's not something you do on accident.

But whatever I'd love to be proven wrong and that one was just an innocent use of the sign.

The ok sign thing started as a joke on /pol/ by alt-right people trying to make a fake white power symbol. Then all the alt-right, white power people spread it and started actually using it because they know when someone points it out, someone else will run up to say you're just poisoned by being too online if you think it's real. But when you look at literally any alt-right gathering picture and they're all loving doing it, it becomes pretty obvious it has become an actual thing.

Y'all people are so goddamned ready to throw away everything just so you can point at some folks and go "Despicable!" in your best holier than thou voice. No it doesn't loving mean "White bower" just cause some idiots meant it that way. It does mean "arsehole" in some parts of the world though so you may take some solace in that.

These fingers never said white power and loving won't no matter how much you want them to.

E: A bit back some people were trying to stop people from doing thumbs up, because to some other people that means "shove this up your arse", which it obviously doesn't mean to most people on this planet, so no it doesn't mean that, except to very few people on the planet whose stupid opinions only matter if you are trying to communicate to them. If not then it doesn't matter that they think "thumbs up" means the same as "middle finger up", which by the way you have to do with two fingers in some other parts of the world whose stupid opinions on the matter don't matter one bit outside their wronghole.

E2: I just rewatched a newspiece on Cambridge Analytica and this seems like the exact sort of thing they'd get up to, that's how stupid this is.

OK symbol gets officer removed from the Coast Guard

it's been accepted as common vernacular for white power folks. If you're at a predominately white gathering and flashing that as a group, then yeah, you're going to be identifying yourself as a white supremacist.

You may not think it makes sense or think it's stupid, but that doesn't actually matter because society at large has identified it in the proper contexts as a white power symbol at this time.

It's just like the milk thing, or the thumbs up thing, they're attempted appropriations by terminally online /pol/ dwellers. Sometimes it sticks, sometimes it doesn't.
