I name this haircut "The Sad Rhino".
Let me tell you about this lake in South America

For content: I’ve bought way too much electronics tools in the past year. Getting into electronics can be expensive but I feel like I went a little too all in.

Either way yesterday I purchased a bunch of RAM chips for my Karate Champ PCB. Pics are by request and when they come in the mail

Lake Titicaca? Though the googler says that translates to Puma Rock :ohdear:



There's even an email address I can reach out to to for life advice on how to use my bone oil :heysexy:

Yeah, TITICACA!

I did not know I wanted St Nicholas oil.

I work mostly on old stuff, so no smd stuff, no paste, only through hole DIP chips. I’ll solder a socket to the board then put the chip in the socket.

Let’s see, over the past two years I’ve gotten:
KSGER T12 soldering iron
Anesty ZD-915 desoldering station
2 Korad power supplies
Cheap-ish function generator
The piece de resistance:
Rigol D1054z 4-channel oscilloscope (easily the most expensive item but also the most useful by far)

Also countless different electronic doo-dads and such. Resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, TTL chips… just so much crap.

It’s been really really fun though and holy crap have I learned a lot :)

Ok ok ok, let’s all calm down lol

2 questions mr:
Why the need for the double blade? Those likes look like single blade cuts
Why in the name of all that is not terrible would the razor blade go halfway down the handle????!!!!

I’m imagining myself leaving blood on the table for the awful crime of simply picking it up

Anyone use theirs as a router? I see their are attachments for it but does it really work well at all?

I’d like to bevel the edges on a 2x4

Re: Dremels:

This may have changed in the last few twelve years jfc, but my first cordless model (8000) didn't have though torque to cut through much of anything, really. It worked fine for sanding and polishing and that was about it. I had to get a corded (4000) if I wanted to cut even something as thin as wire shelving.

But again, it's been a long minute since I tried a cordless version.

I did the same thing and came to the exact same conclusion

Thx! Knowing nothing about these, I have some more:

Year? Diesel? Miles? Tilt bed? A/C? 5-spd? Airbags?

Finally, where do you park it so that I may come and …. Uhhhh… make sure it’s safe and doesn’t get stolen by jealous people :)

Nice 944! Is it Turbo?

My dad had a 928s for a while back in the day. I like the old front engine Porsches

Purchases wise, I just recently bought a trailer!



Followed shortly by a new transmission :homebrew:

I’d like some more info on this… how do you like it? I’m assuming you’ll be living in it while replacing the transmission? :razzy:

I’ve wanted one for years and was finally in the position to comfortably purchase a new car. So I did.

Beautiful… I’ve always kinda wanted one too.

Any cool options? Ballpark price range? Maybe it’s not the thread for it, idk.

Either way congrats!

For content: I just bought a 14900k motherboard/cpu/32gb of ram bundle from microcenter… happy with it now but ask me again in summertime lol
