Gonna be a bit hard to push heroin through those. Lotta resistsnce.
Agreed. Super annoying when people ask questions without a question mark.
All this is a gateway drug to

Just like how cats offloaded all the thinking onto humans who serve them, and now we’re offloading all the thinking onto chips who we will serve… o hwait
I guess she encountered a lot of resistance from all those!
Found his kit, please help:

Fuck! This is a 21st century vampire hunting kit!
This is so overkill; all you need is a lighter and a spoon, and those contacts basically bond themselves
Paperclip might work better, less thermal mass.
I mean, you solder pipes with a flame, why not circuit boards too?
There used to be little butane soldering irons back in the day before lithium batteries took over.
Every soldering iron I’ve ever used has been a desktop station that plugs into the wall.
Apparently portable soldering irons in general are quite a new concept (1984): https://portasol.com/about-us
Sure, it always just starts with “I’ll just solder a few resistors here; what’s the problem?”, but before you know it your kid is gonna be out there giving acid baths to PCBs.
Ohh I thought they were pins and the kids was tailoring his clothes.
I thought it was some odd looking embroidery.
Yes, he is. But these are just resistors.
it’s for resisting peer pressure
Ohm my god good one
Got me really amped up
Watt are you talking about
Just follow the current
Really enjoying the arc of this comment tree
If not for those, he’d be inhaling magic smoke
The one time my mom sat me down and had a talk about the thermal compound syringe she found while cleaning…
These look shady AF too :)

they are fine at the lower capacities. the higher ones die almost immediately though
often mistaken for disposable vapes
I got some little baggies intended to hold stamps (as part of a magazine feature) and received a sit down talk about marijuana.
Not ragging on anyone for ignorance, never will, but it’s a little weird how many people are asking what these are, especially in such a nerdy community.
You’re not gonna believe this, but most chemists never touch electronics. “Nerdy” is a really, really, really wide category.
You can be a nerd about anything. A language nerd who speaks 20 languages and studies ancient Akkadian for fun won’t know what those are.
I mean I am a nerd, but I haven’t much of a clue about trees and plant life.
They grow and are all plant-y.
“Enchanting nerds and alchemy nerds are two different groups of wizardry. They don’t share their secrets outside the group!”
-some guy named Clarke or something, I dunno.
Could just be my client but the image is so pixelated and the resistors are quite small. So it took me a while to see as well.
I found two posts in this entire thread asking what these actually are. That’s not a whole lot.
Is that a reference to interest in electronics being a gateway drug to gender transition?
Connect LGBTQ+ to LGBTQ-
When I first started setting lgbt I was wondering why everyone was interested in insulated gate bipolar transistors.
Well they did enable electric cars and efficient per-home solar inverters, they’re pretty cool.
gonna need a 4kOhm resistor to do a pull down for that. You’ll be Queer, but you won’t be happy about it.
…to gender transistor.
FTFY.
From transistors to trans sisters
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
Worse, he is “soldering”
Heroine like the wonder woman? GO SON! I’d do her too
And for becoming a heroine, he would need transistors instead
Imagine dating a valkyrie. You did well, child.
but Wonder Woman is Amazonian…
Hey if you want to date an Amazonian instead you go ahead, if you think you can.
Worse, he’s picked up a nasty through-hole habit.
There was a clip I saw of a mother going through their child’s text…
YOLO? What’s that!!! … Is YOLO a drug???
