Genuienly don’t mind if I didn’t have to commute + office politics + random inefficiencies + …
Looks staged, no smock or ESD wrist band?
old stockphoto
Also, if you hold a soldering iron like that, you’re going to have a bad time.
Or asbestos gloves
Pretty wild turning a Masochism hobby into a job in Electronics Manufacturing.
don’t
you lose the love you had for your hobby
I mean I turned my hobby of math and engineering into a major worthwhile pursuing.
I still don’t hate it yet.
i turned my hobby of solving puzzles and board games into a decent career in finance/accounting. i still have trouble playing board games now, it killed it that bad.
Why does this board smell like burnt fingers?
for anyone viewing this picture who is thinking of learning how to solder, don’t hold it there, thats the hot part.
not true when i got it out of the drawer the whole thing was cold
I have very little soldering experience, but every once in a while at work I have to use a soldering iron to install heat-set threaded inserts into 3d prints.
The little machine that controls the soldering iron only has a power button and knob, and no indication that it is heating up or hot or even working. Each time I use it I convince myself that it isn’t on and have to test it. And each time I briefly consider using my hand. It’s always super hot.
It not only gets hot, it rapidly gets hot. At my university, it takes a couple of minutes (2 or 3) to reach the Max temperature of 800°F
we got a soldering iron with a flashlight in the handle, so when it’s hot it’s bright
To check if it’s hot I always just poke it into the wet sponge to hear the hiss. It’s also a very satisfying noise.
I always poke it into the person sitting next to me to check if it’s hot. Their scream together with their sizzling skin and meat is a very satisfying noise too.
You’re a coward if you still have feeling in your finger tips

Is that also how I learn about trickle down economics and pulling on my own bootstraps?

Speaking from experience: you do that one time and then never again.
lmao yes
Like never again that week? Or… What’s a normal amount of time for that?
About an hour before you are cleared to try again.
You can tell by the charred parts underneath her fingers.
If you smell burnt chicken, you’re holding it wrong!
just shove the end into one of those big black pill looking ones.
Everything in this photo hurts to look at.
Her hobbies are being a stock photo model and self-inflicted pain.
Checkmate,
atheistsnerds.Are you enjoying your hobbies a little too much? Turn it into a job! Then you’ll never enjoy it again!
Putting a soldering iron on a motherboard, using no whick, solder, or fume hood. This is the kind of jobs 90 year old politicians think of when techbros promise high paying tech jobs in their area
She has on safety glasses, that means nothing bad can happen.
What look like UV protection glasses np less as well, for all the UV light solding produces
idk smells good. where am I?
It was fkin one of ya, Disgusting!
Turn your hobby
Into a slobbie…
I tried to make a joke about shit and everyone is just criticizing her soldering technique. Peak lemmy
Big jobbies, the lot of them.
Dinna fash yersel. I kent fit yi meant. Ah didna quite weet my briogs bit I did snort oot ma naise!
It’s like the image of the Japanese girls playing a console and nothing’s plugged in, it’s never not going to be the original meme 🤣
This has repost potential you say.
It’s a picture of a woman doing something wrong.
That’s like catnip to lemmites
Oh come on. It could be anyone with that technique.
