My next vehicle will be an early 90s Mercedes.

Yeah, that’s not worked for me either, it just micromanages my current hyper-fixation in great detail and depth. It’s a two-wolves situation, with impulsivity and in-depth nerdery

So what else do you listen to instead? Asking for a friend…

Nah, I meant that the population of Greenland want to remain under the administration that they’re currently under

The descendants of the only people to live on the islands since pre-history. Literally the only people whose opinions count, including the uk population and government. It doesn’t matter what the Argentinians or the British think really, same as Greenland - the people who live there want to be a part of the uk

So if no land belongs to anyone, the only people who’s opinion should count are the people actually fucking living there, no? Who want, pretty much universally, to remain under uk rule. Who owns the bit of rock is far less important than the thoughts of the population that live there. And they think “fuck off argentina”

Are they not cornstarch PLA? That’s biodegradable, indeed hot-compostable, and not a plastic

I’ve fitted one into my old pickup, but again not worth the amount of complication that they generally come with, eg a massive screen in the dash and the canbus nonsense to go with it. I’d rather not have the level of canbus integration of modern cars, where a locking module or whatever failing can stop the whole car working

Not sure that it’ll be available this side of the Atlantic that soon, but it does seem pretty interesting

That’s very much my thinking, the kits have come down in price a huge amount recently, so it’s almost achievable now

I’d love to buy an electric car, but I want one with no electronics, if that makes sense. Electric power train, but no screens, “driver aids” or other nonsense

Brotato!

Good lad, fuck Palantir in every way possible

Yes, but also yes

Most of mine are just like that, but getting the TS100 is a real bonus for SMD stuff, for heavy stuff,and primarily for me can run off my Dewalt drill batteries. Being temp controlled with swappable bits with different elements means you can go from a tiny tip to a massive wedge using the full 100w very easily, and being able to do that inside a speaker can in a field without having to find an inverter or whatever is well worth the price of admission

I thought it had peaked when I had to put a hacked firmware onto my soldering iron

At the bottom of the bag

Is this “bitcoin” in the room with us now?

This is the way

Had me in the first half, “European parliament bans lawmakers from…” had me wondering what fresh hell this was heading into, before the “using AI tools” gave me back a shred of hope for the future
