I love scooter

I’m not sure how and I’m not sure why but scooter is unequivocally the perfect title to resemble your cat. Not that he looks like or even reminds me of a scooter but that whenever I see him, it rings in my ears more ferociously than tinnitus ever could, … “scooter”.

Scooter is one of the first cats I began identifying on lemmy because of the sheer perfection of his name in correspondence to physical presence. I would not believe you if you said you thought of any other names, because no other name could be appropriate for him, aside from scooter.

At that point it starts to feel like cheating. Like just throwing it all into stocks, foreign currency or something.

Seems pretty easy, buy 100mil of gold bullion. It’s around 3100 lb (1400kg) and is relatively small. I think you could hit it under a bed or couch or two. Probably fit it into a couple awkward corners in your closet. Use one as a paper weight.

Because the FTC is toothless when it comes to EULAs. You can sign your rights away by agreeing to it (which is required to play the game).

It’s weird because it’s the size of lumber BEFORE smoothing the edges. Manufacturers take this inch a mile and the 2x4 (as well as all other dimensional lumber) has gotten smaller and smaller.

Aw dude Chinese takeout always makes me feel like shit. Not Chinese food, mind you, I grew up with a Chinese family and ate tons of the stuff, i cook it myself too.

The takeout on the other hand is just utterly drenched and sopping wet in oil. You can pick up a few noodles and grease will be dripping from them.

Saying the parties “switched” is a large oversimplification. But yes, as the Democrats became anti segregation, it had dissatisfied white, racist, voters in the south. Of which Republicans, were all too happy to cater to, thus the “switch”.

I like this kind of minimalistic art. Many believe art needs to be deeply profound and inspiring via complexity and detail. However art like this brings me such a pure, simple joy. It’s okay just to observe, enjoy and be content with the simplest things.

I believe it is intended as a common human connection. American or Polish, we all find cats funny, and picture worthy.

Yeah I don’t understand “but the guy is bigger” argument. If the guy is being yelled at by a taller more muscular wife, is the man being abused because he’s the weaker party? What if the guy is bigger but wife is trained by Bruce Lee or some shit. Is the guy still the victim since he’s more vulnerable? It’s just too ambiguous, and also implies all women are weaker than men, which is stupid.

Tbh you can even discuss most of that, if you disagree you’ll just be torn to shreds.

You gotta give credit to the fact that in the time the United States has had it’s 1 republic, France has had 5 of them.

Or the fact that Europe tears itself apart like every 50 years

With the way she squints and her paw curled up i can only imagine her saying something like " Indubitably. "

That’s what my mom says to me.

The guilt is the greatest seasoning.

What a distinguished gentleman

The glue will depend on the internal bezels, sometimes they are wide enough for us to use some specialized (very strong) 1mm double sided tape but other times they are ridiculously tiny and almost impossible to glue well. In the latter situation most would tell you to buy the OEM adhesive but frankly it’s not any better.

If you do go with the tape method heat the phone up after assembly and press on it firmly. The heat softens the glue up and when you press down on it, it’ll “flow” into all the gaps, providing stronger adhesion.

I find that a phone is too cold if I could hold it indefinitely (without my hands burning) and too hot if your hand immediately starts burning. Usually I aim to get it hot enough to comfortably hold for a few seconds while I get it apart. If you want exact numbers the temperature I use on my heating pad is 70c.

To glue the fingerprint sensor (and many other small parts) I use liquid super glue . Sure some technicians may not approve of it but it has some very useful properties for small parts. It is strong and unlikely for fail in normal use, it is very easy to apply and easy to cure and its still weak and brittle enough that you can still remove the component later.

Put a drop of super glue on a piece of plastic (to discard later) and use a toothpick to apply a tiny amount. Look closely to see if the liquid has wetted all mating surfaces and let it cure.

To repair the chargeport you will likely need to go to a more specialized repair shop to solder it. SMD components should not be handled by beginners and it takes a lot of time to get good at it (professionally we use microscopes, precision soldering irons and hot air rework stations for them).

I see. I recently had to repair an iPhone 13 with super bent frame and back glass. Apple wouldn’t touch it because of the damage but the phone was still alive. Once I got it back together the wifi didn’t work and unfortunately we couldn’t really do anything about it even if it was looking new

As a repair tech, this can happen really easily. There are sometimes like 2 dozen cables that need to be disconnected and perfectly reconnected for every function to work. Additionally if they don’t have a proper testing software it’s fairly labour intensive to test and it can eat deeply in your margins. Some cheap businesses won’t bother testing beyond turning it on and just letting the customer figure it out and deal with it then.

For example at my work we barely test sub 100$ computers. The amount of time to , refurbish, wipe the drive, put it into stock, keep track of it in accounting and shipping it already makes it barely profitable, having to throw in another and hour to half an hour of additional testing can easily make the computer a loss for the company assuming it sells at all.
