From what I understand, part of Starbucks thing is catering to people who like burnt and bitter. Kind of like the emo crowd.

I had that after getting hit with a hockey stick as a kid. Got it straightened in my 20’s and it made a big difference.

See an ear nose and throat specialist. They have have a look up your snoot and see what’s up.
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 5 months ago:
In theory. It’s mounted vertically inside a slow cooker, so over ten years of heating and cooling the solder might have flowed, but I suspect its just typical mass production.

Control panel from a slow cooker.
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 5 months ago:
That’d be about right. There’s insulation inbetween.
- Comment on Our new slow cooker came in three boxes. 5 months ago:
Is it just that the middle box is unmarked?
- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 5 months ago:
This is a circuit board from my slow cooker. It quit heating a week ago so I opened it up and found a broken wire. That was easily fixed.
I figured while I had it apart I should look at the display board and see if I can fix the missing segments. I resoldered the one pin but nothing changed.
Unfortunately my eyes arent what they used to be so the others someone pointed out will be a challenge.

I didn’t even see those. Thanks. I got the one on the left side strip, but the LED display is still missing elements.
Unfortunately my eyes aren’t what they used to be, so i might have to take the board in to get the others.

- Comment on What android phones do you recommend and why? 8 months ago:
Im using an LG Velvet 5G. Great specs including 5G, wifi 6, sd card, and headphone jack. I know LG has discontinued making phones but it is still getting updates. Hopefully custom ROMs fill in once that expires.
Nice thing is, you can find these phones for sub $300 if you hunt around.

- Comment on Disney Mocked for Ludicrously Fake CGI "Actors" in Crowd Scene 8 months ago:
Your phrasing was “legally beholden” which suggests to me that a law exists requiring directors and officers to choose the most profitable path. The wikipedia page you linked does not mention any such law. It describes a type of lawsuit that investors can bring against those running the company.
- Comment on Disney Mocked for Ludicrously Fake CGI "Actors" in Crowd Scene 8 months ago:
I’m as cynical as anybody else and there was a time I also would have repeated it as well.
But… show me the law. Show me where it says this. - Comment on Disney Mocked for Ludicrously Fake CGI "Actors" in Crowd Scene 8 months ago:
I keep seeing people regurgitate this nonsense.
