@nprofile1q... “we’re turning our backs on the entire nation and leaving. you are not our people.”

she just like me fr 😭

@nprofile1q... it’s not flawed. think of how funny the used car ad gets when you sell it

paint? yeah it has some. heater? yep. AC? bitch just crank down the window. it’s got a stereo, there’s even a CD player and it sounds great as long as you only listen to cattle decapitation at max volume because the CD got stuck and the controls don’t work. it’s environmentally friendly and it even returns the used oil to where it came from - the ground. one day the engine started making a weird noise, i didn’t care, it went away. end of story. this car has seen shit. people have done straight things in this car. people have done gay things in this car. it will not judge, but it won’t start if it thinks you’re too much of a pussy.

@nprofile1q... i know i told that story before but it never gets old

@nprofile1q... reminds me of that time i went on a trip across germany in a friend’s turbocharged VW T1. no seatbelt, no airbag, no crumple zones, aged tires, no indication of how fast we were going because the speedometer only goes to 120 km/h (which this thing was never meant to reach in the first place) and the needle did a full rotation back to 0 where it was hitting the stop pin, and we couldn’t hear shit because of how loud it was in there between engine noise and death metal. the thing was a death trap but it was so much fun to watch other drivers in utter disbelief. you roll up in this thing and people start cheering while they’re going deaf

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... the jig was mostly for the stencil fwiw. doing too sloppy of a job with that would have ruined parts. bad enough that the paste had exceeded its shelf life

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... i place 0402 parts by hand

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... also known as a diode

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... drunk person should never have been behind the wheel is the issue here, and that could have been literally anyone because drunk people aren’t capable of predicting the consequences of their actions

remember: you picking up someone else’s abandoned free software project and doing a poor job maintaining it is better than nobody doing it at all
