I use blokada. I have no idea how it works or if is safe, but I haven't seen an ad even in apps since I installed it

Not American but I agree. Fptp and gerrymandering is the biggest bullshit. But how will it change? Why would the two ruling parties shoot their own foot?

The weirdest thing about this is the note. What happened to talking with each other?

Nice feature. Is it reliable? I can imagine this being dangerous if someone finds out how to manipulate it to flag a malicious site as official.

Nothing. Romania is generally fine. I hitchhiked an couch surfed solo. Had only good experiences.

It makes the tin non sticky. Heat up a blob of solder for a minute or so to evaporate the flux and then try working with it.

1 if all parts are hot, it shouldn't matter. As soon as you touch anything with the solder, it should distribute evenly around the pad and component.

2 you just feed it into the joint

  1. If you are not quick enough, the flux in the solder evaporates and it becomes sticky. At this point, clean it and start fresh. Other possibility is that you didn't heat part and component enough for the solder to flow

Handheld battery powered X-ray devices exist and are widely available. I used to work with those. In Germany you need a permit to operate them. https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/de/en/XL2

While true, that is misleading. The nuclear waste produced will be radioactive for some decades, in contrast to the waste products from nuclear fission, which stay radioactive virtually forever. Most people think of fission waste if you don't specify and thus make fusion waste far scarier than it actually is.
