misandry isnt the reverse of misogyny

Except it is

You’ve mistaken misogyny/misandry with patriarcy/matriarchy.

Misandry is by definition the hatred of, distrust of, or prejudice against men, as misogyny is the same against women.

Biodiesel requires oil and sugarcane doesnt grow as well in north America given the climate, plus there are farm subsidies. Places like Brazil do use it for ethanol though

This particular project you might be able to get away without soldering if you use a breakout / expansion board like shown and just screw terminal down the wires. If you are feeling a bit more ambitious, you could design a PCB and have it fabricated for you by a service such as jlcpcb or pcbway

Should you still require soldering:

There are soldering stations, irons and guns that have automatic or trigger pull solder feed which can help with single handed operation - the cheaper feed solder guns will do well for something larger like through hole for simple projects like this. Id get some heavy weights, some kind of board stand/clamps, and kapton tape in a heavy / mounted to desk holder do you can pull tape off and use it to put on the board to hold things down / together / insulate other parts from slipping with the iron tip.

If you are just doing wire to wire joints, there are some heat shrink solder couplings that you can put on like its heat shrink over twisted wires and heating it over 150C with a heat gun will solder it together (e.g. electriduct).

I haven’t personally had much luck with helping hands but ymmv. Soldering mat is good for spilled solder drops or if you accidentally hit the tip on the table. Solder flux (get in a syringe or squeeze bottle) helps a ton with getting a good joint. Also, some isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs / a rag / a toothbrush are good for cleaning the flux off once you are done - if you dont do this, the joint can corrode down the line. You will also want a fume extractor; basically a fan with a carbon filter, similar to an air purifier. This will keep the flux fumes out of your face and lungs.

A hotplate and some tweezers could also help with surface mount stuff since you can just use the weights to hold it down and poke at stuff while letting the hotplate do the heating /soldering

To sum it up

Things you WILL need to solder:

• solder (leaded probably better; just wash hands)
• flux (syringe or squeeze bottle)
• soldering iron/ gun (perhaps with wire feed)
• some kind of stand/weights for holding the boards / wires
• tweezers
• fume extractor

Things I think would really help:

• silicone mat
• isopropyl alcohol and swabs / rag / tissues
• kapton tape (or other polyamide tape, the orangey stuff) and a dispenser / holder
• normal heatshrink tubing/insulation

Nice to have but might not be necessary:

• hotplate
• heatshrink solder couplings

He funded the projects of a person who holds those beliefs multiple times and has not denounced DHH’s beliefs when questioned. Saying you are pro immigrant and pro lgbt is not a counter to working with and funding someone who wants those people gone.

It doesnt matter if he isn’t personally a white supremacist if he chooses to KNOWINGLY work with and FUND them over the concerns of others in the community. Big tent is stupid. If a nazi walks into a bar, announces theres a nazi, and you do not kick them out, that is a nazi bar. If they found out later that he was a white supremacist, the first thing they should have done was stop funding, apologize for funding him and not knowing about his views, say that they do not agree with those views and they are not welcome, and that they would be more careful in the future.

We only got bits and pieces of that after the community complained. Giving a nazi money, then when it is found out saying “well, we have a bit tent ideology,” then later after getting flak for it saying “well actually I’m pro- the things the nazi hates” is not very inspiring. A company that actually cares would admit the fault and fix it, not try to brush it under the rug.

They’ve funded DHH, a British Danish white supremacist, creator of ruby on rails and omarchy. They gave material support (hardware) to him and their argument was basically that it didn’t go directly to him but to an organization he was a part of - they obscured this on the sponsorships page and idt omarchy’s sponsorship was ever even added

Now it turns out they give money to a conference he made because he got banned from the original ruby on rails community for causing problems there

They couldn’t even come out and say that they dont hold those views, threw a hissy fit on social media and then slightly adjusted their sponsorships page

https://lemmy.world/post/45911148

What they should have said:

1. We dont hold those kinds of views
2. Anyone who is intolerant of others is not welcome
3. We will not support this person or their projects financially due to their controversial views
4. We will be more careful about selecting sponsorships in the future

They didnt do any of those 4 (maybe the 4th?)

Maybe when they stop funneling money to fascists under the guise of big tent

Propaganda tends to refer to either the material itself or systematic distribution of it. Psyops refers to the overarching military operations that employ propaganda, and also refers to the way that the material is disseminated (e.g. planting people in organizations to stir trouble, leaflet-ing, social media bot campaigns, false flag campaigns like bombing something and blaming it on someone else, etc).

Not familiar with it.

99% of the people being outraged about games with gay characters wouldn’t have played the game even if there weren’t gay characters

My understanding is Trivy’s Personal Access Token (PAT) - used for accessing your account via scripts / the services API - got leaked in the repo. The bot saw the PAT and revoked it because someone else could come along and use it to gain access to their repo or impersonate them.

It often makes up non existent vulnerabilities. I think it was curl getting flooded with fake vulnerability reports which drowns out real reports, esp because it can take time to parse through the code or run the poc

The average person just doesnt care about things as long as they are placated and their most base needs are met. Many people actively avoid or are angered by having to think for themselves (see the “its not that deep” crowd).

You end up with

1. a large non voting population that just listens and passively supports whatever the most popular ideas are
2. a small but vocal, fervent minority that drowns out everyone else and is backed by corporate interests. Typically these corporate interests are able to pay people to advocate for whatever they want, bribe politicians, whatever.
3. A minority of people who tend to actually think for themselves, have more empathy / be less individualistic but have their voices, ideas and causes suppressed by the people in 2.

In the US, republicans are 2. and Democrats try to appeal to 2 since theyre paid by those same corporate interests when their voting base is actually 1. This leads to people in 1 who would otherwise have voted for them feeling like theyre unheard since the democratic rhetoric either appeals to 2 or denies the realities and actual popular ideas

Add on top of that capitalistic pressures on the average working person and people tend to become more selfish and individualistic, which causes ppl in 1. to just not vote if the democrats dont give them what they want, 2. to always vote republican because they fall for the propaganda, and 3. to either vote Democrat anyways as harm reduction or not vote because the Dems dont listen.

Really, it is the apathy of the more “left” party to what people actually want that pushes people towards anyone who will listen, which tends to be the more “right” party that will try to activate any fear they can and promise people the moon just to get a vote, even if they never have an intention on delivering.

For real numbers its 1.2-1.6 g protein per kg bodyweight or 0.5-0.7g per pound of body weight. When i check years back it was something like beyond 0.82g / lbs showed either no additional benefit or diminishing returns. For a 150lbs person that would be 75-105g protein, something like 20% of your daily calories in fat, and then adjust your carbs based on if you want to gain or lose weight

Hallmark movies have cookie cutter plots usually involving one of the characters reuniting with someone while visiting their home town and then falling in or rekindling love. The characters tend to be divorced or in an unhappy relationship, and one of the driving forces of tension is the push for them to get with each other before the visiting party has to leave

Flashlight on the gun

I’ve seen this before

It happens to my rockets in KSP

I can’t find it right now but if I could I’d post the one about the ancient greek or roman dude with a interest in ships that would watch them enter and leave port and knew each one by name

Craigslist/fb marketplace can be a good way to find garage sales so you dont have to negotiate a meet up time / place or anything. Also look for estate / moving sales. Check along local roads for signs on upcoming garage sales.

Thrift stores can be ok but can be expensive or not have great stuff if its in an expensive area. Consider going to smaller shops / delis and looking for if they have a section for local business cards; some places will have a section where people will leave a stack of business cards, so you might be able to find smaller thrift/antique shops that way, or find an ad someone has left for upcoming sales.

Also check: local facebook groups, local library in person / website

Not sure about other online sites or specific items though.
