A well researched pre-owned is the way to go. I bought a 6900xt a couple years ago for a deal.

I was just at a depressing job fair trying to recruit for maintenance. It was held at a plant set to close in 3 days. Most of the people I talked to were there for 30 years. It was partially employee owned. Somehow a person in power (I don’t know the piece of shit’s title) convinced the employees to sell their share at the promise of expansion and investment.

The person in power closed the shop, cashed out, and retired. Will not have to worry about a thing. 200 some people and families now have their lives upended at the benefit to few.

This kind of aligns more with the person you responded to but still relevant.

I put this on an unlabeled squirt bottle once at work. It was wrong to do because technically it’s an OSHA violation for being improperly labeled because it was just in sharpie and not a standard label. But it was night shift I was bored and the bottle was already unlabeled so it was already out of compliance. Why not write on it?

A week or so later I heard people talking about this squirt bottle that said dihydrogen monoxide. Two safety guys were there so I didn’t take credit for my shenanigans based on the reception not being great.

I said I think it’s just water, but the chemical name. Ya know? Nope, they didn’t get it. The kind of doubled down and started talking about things in that link because they “researched the name” and it was actually harmful.

It was a strange experience.

Question: how the fuck did any of this ever become legal?

I would guess lobbying.

Buy a commercial TV. It’s a plain jane TV. I put one in as a SCADA, but it’s just a tv with no frills. When I saw what it was, I knew when I’d need to purchase a tv this would be the type I wanted.

That thing is pretty awesome! I’ve never heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Soldering stations that are fixed to an outlet are also expensive. It’s not a cheap tool kit. If it is cheap, it’s a garbage iron that will likely do the job but you will struggle.

I’m trying to buy one for work and every station worth considering is easily over 200 dollars US.

Yep, Lemmy on web browser no longer allows me to post images in comments.

I actually prefer the time when if someone wanted to post an image or gif it was a link you chose to click on or not.

I think this one wins the post guys.
