What a coincidence, my goal is to bite more people, make fangs for people, get bit by people with fangs :3c

Instead of packing, I spent over a day trying to figure out Progressive Web Apps purely so I could have a phone version of my favorite kill-time card game that will work offline: spacebuck.net/experiments/...

I cherish air travel as one of the last places it's culturally acceptable to be offline

Of course :3 I use a sliver of HDPE as a lint-pick, personally; splintery wood toothpicks or hard conductive metal needles both seem like suboptimal choices for the job, heh

I was going to hot-plate solder some minuscule LGA things but I got SO SLEEPY goodnight I love you

It all closes up and looks like it should work! But there's something rattling inside, I'll open it back up tomorrow and check on it.

I already hate this cheap aftermarket replacement thumbstick I got lol

That took way longer than I expected. I could have used more of the SMD1 magic metal....

I disassembled this controller a YEAR ago, then put it in a bag and promised myself I'd replace the potentiometer someday. Here we goooooo

Up next is swapping out the joystick on my Steam Controller. They stopped selling these like 7 years ago? And it's very different than the new one Gaben announced recently.

The potentiometer doesn't snap back to home anymore so I'm replacing it. And look how worn out the thumbstick is, bonkers!

I just realized the solder paste that I used is from 2021. Don't tell anyone, it's our little secret, ssshhhh

MY BOYYYYYYYYY, MY BOY LIVES 🥺🥺🥺

I need you to understand, this iron is maybe the tool that I have the most emotional attachment to. I'm so relieved this is all it took to get it operational again and keep it from becoming e-waste

The horseradish vodka neat was so strong that it gave me a tummyache that felt like the time I ate a raw garlic clove and then projectile vomited onto a goose

So I mixed it into a cocktail: 1 pt horseradish vodka, 2 parts plain vodka

Sublime

Btw the Ballmer Peak tonight is brought to you by a chewy Chilean pinot noir and a few swigs of my homemade horseradish vodka
