5th pin down on the far left side in the picture.
There's no solder on the pin.
Most of the joints are questionable, that one is flat out bad.
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 10 months ago:
There are a bunch of questionable solder joints.
Like half the pins.
But the absolute worst is the 5th pin down on the far left side. There's so little solder used that you can see into the hole.
A few others are also a bit lacking as well. Almost all of the joints are ugly as sin...

There might be a link between the bans from dating apps and the "not been in a long-term relationship"...
- Comment on While everyone is watching the world stage and some are predicting WWIII, isn't there a good chance that the USA is getting close to some kind of civil war? 11 months ago:
You don't need a clean territorial split for a civil war. You just need clean lines of separation between different groups. There have been civil wars based on ethnic lines, religious lines, and even ideologies.
The wars without clear territory get messy. Like genocide messy.
- Comment on Assuming the earth is flat, how many people are part of the conspiracy 11 months ago:
Since flat earth nonsense is just rebranded creationism, the only being who really needs to be part of the conspiracy is satan.
Then anyone who tells you that the earth is round is either deceived by satan, or is a satan worshiper.
This makes it super easy to dismiss anything that would hint at reality, like ships sailing over the horizon.
- Comment on Jonathan Frakes Returning To Direct For ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 3 1 year ago:
He's directed two already, well, two Trek movies. First Contact and Insurrection.
He's had episodes as director in every live action Trek property except Enterprise. He even directed two episodes of The Orville.
- Comment on Why is there often a huge gap between a person being found guilty of a crime and their sentencing hearing? 1 year ago:
Sentencing often comes with a Sentencing Investigation.
The Judge looks at past criminal records, evidence from the trial, motions from defense attorneys and prosecution and such. It all takes time.
The crypto bro is currently in jail awaiting the sentencing (and second trial with more charges against him) so it's not like he's walking around free.
- Comment on Lobbyist says Right to Repair is bad for black people | Louis Rossmann 1 year ago:
The other day, there was a thread about an effort to ban flavored tobacco, including Menthol.
Some dipshit said this would harm black people the most, because black people just love lung cancer.
- Comment on Worst fear confirmed: You can't launch Modern Warfare 3 without first launching Modern Warfare 2 1 year ago:
I have almost 2500 hours in the game. There are mods that change the nature of the game to the point where it seems like a completely different game.
There are also modders in the community who have worked on parts of the official DLC.
Speaking of, the DLC massively expanded the game.
But even just the base game is an addictive colony builder where everything is likely to end in flames. Or not. Because there difficulty settings are fairly robust. You can make it a chill little farm sim if you want.
The game is pure freedom.

Just because everything is on fire, my cook has food poisoning, my researcher is punching the boomalope, and my hunter is running from the fire, doesn't mean I've lost control.
No everything is probably okay as long as there's no raid or mech cluster.
Plus, I've learned by now to not have wooden bases, and to keep the flammables and boomalopes on opposite sides of the base. Chemfuel goes over in that little building over there, with a thin roof. Still need to remember that firefoam poppers are a thing.
So it's not a total loss. And that was the highlights of yesterday's play session.

Not willing to wait 10 minutes to play a game? You Sir, or Madam, have never played modded Rimworld.
Now imagine loading a game, realizing your mods aren't quite right, and having to exit out and reload.
As to 10 minutes to something like Warzone... no. Just no. An online battle royal type game needs to be fast. It can't be all laid back and calming like Rimworld, the colony/warcrimes simulator.

This gives you some idea of who Nimoy was.
- Comment on Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough” 1 year ago:
He burned his first bridges while on SNL. So much so that he's been banned from hosting a few times. It seems every new generation of cast has to re-learn the lesson of keeping the Chase ban active.
- Comment on Automaker CEO Elon Musk Strips UAW Twitter Verification as Union Strikes Against Big Three 1 year ago:
Even before Musk, twitter amplified right-wing nonsense.
Now it's openly full of Nazis, because Musk unbanned them.
But you're right, it is a private company, and thus not subject to any definition of free speech.
Here's the thing. People do have free speech and can publicly say that they think the new twitter is a Nazi fulled dumpster fire run by a racist man-baby who got rich off of an Apartheid era emerald mine.
- Comment on Automaker CEO Elon Musk Strips UAW Twitter Verification as Union Strikes Against Big Three 1 year ago:
The "censorship" from before Musk took over was mostly banning hate speech, death threats, and calls for violence. Sometimes all three were in the same tweet.
Now it's banning union organizing and people wanting to be paid a fair wage for a day's work. Totally the same.

There were also early coronavirus vaccines being developed with mRNA tech to fight SARS and MERS. I have a friend who got the MERS vaccine as part of a test group.
- Comment on Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers 1 year ago:
That's going to play out as well. There's a very good reason why X is a shit name.
But pair it with another word and it's alright. But Musk can't see that, because he's a fairly stupid man who used to hire smart people to run his companies.
- Comment on Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers 1 year ago:
Musk has sure as hell set Twitter up to suffer quite a bit. It's a train wreck in progress, but to the uninformed layman it just looks like Musk fucking shit up with little actual blowback.
The reality of Twitter is that it's royally fucked, it's just taking a while for the debt to build up to the point where it all falls apart. I expect a complete death of the company before November 2025. Just based on the debt load that Musk saddled the company with.
Reddit showed that they don't care about their community or their volunteer mods, and lost most of the best moderators. That train wreck is coming, but might take a few years. Their IPO is coming, and they will do something that pisses off the community more when it does. I don't expect a fast death, or a complete death, but the IPO will definitely hurt more than it will help.
Meta keeps getting fined by various countries, and keeps plugging along. Their Threads app is not quite taking off, but it doesn't need to... A shit company that will likely be around for at least another decade. After that, predictions become meaningless.
Google is trying to do a web DRM to get rid of adblockers. I expect a massive EU fine in the future, and then they will quietly continue being evil. They really shouldn't have gotten rid of that motto.
