Therapy is maintenance (at the very least). If you haven’t ever been to therapy, you’re driving around without an oil change.

If you’re wanting to practice soldering, and build a small, cheap project at the same time, I’d recommend cheap project kits from Aliexpress (there are probably equivalents on Amazon). Do projects that are through hole soldering first, before attempting SMD components.

There are plenty to choose from and they’re cheap, so if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t matter much.

• LED Christmas Trees
• Digital Clocks
• Bluetooth speaker - the SMD components are done for you.
• FM Radio Kits
• LED Sound Spectrum Display - Lots of practice with this one

There will be plenty of Youtube videos of people putting these things together if you want to know more.

Have fun!

Your original post tells us to pronounce it the way she says it, but doesn’t actually show us how she says it.

How did you expect us to pronounce it correctly if we haven’t heard her say it?

Did you read the rest of my post? You can’t say “correctly pronounce it”, and then not give instruction. That doesn’t help anyone.

Right right right

and that would be … ?

Oh, I found the video on her Youtube channel literally addressing this question back in 2016:

dig a little deeper beyond what gets radio play and you can find some good shit.

Don’t leave us hanging! What are your suggestions?

Believing claims on the grounds that they haven’t been disproven is just bad epistemology

Well, it’s a good thing that wasn’t my position.

If you’re claiming my fridge has no tiny invisible pink elephants you are welcome to provide evidence.

I will make no claims on the matter and thus have to provide no evidence either way.

Edit: I think you’re confusing me for the other guy.

“There is enough evidence to be confident there aren’t structural problems” is what they’re really saying.

Bro, the graphite is not there. Everything is completely normal.

Negative claims require evidence.

Otherwise a safety engineer can go to a regulator and say “There are no structural issues with this building.” He is claiming there are no issues, he needs to back that up with evidence.

Your Jedi mind tricks won’t work on me. 😜

No, you can’t prove that something never happens or that something doesn’t exist.

Science, philosophy, and mathematics say otherwise.

I wasn’t arguing for the existence of god.

Let me break this down:

• “There is a god.” --> Burden of proof
• “There is no god.” --> Burden of proof
• “Hey, man. I don’t know.” —> No burden of proof

that’s not how evidence and proof works.

Proof of a negative is common in science and mathematics.

No, you can’t prove that something never happens or that something doesn’t exist.

No. A negative can be proven. It’s done all the time in science and mathematics.

You have made the assertion, thus you have the burden of proof.

“what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence” QED

Careful, many online atheists don’t understand that they have to prove a negative. That they have to prove the assertion: “There is no god.”

The default position is that there is yet insufficient evidence to draw a conclusion.

Edit: Thank you for the downvotes, you have provided me with further evidence that online atheists don’t understand that they have to prove a negative. Your butthurt fuels me.

Focus on being trustworthy more than your performance.

I recently saw a video from Simon Sinek that helped me understand what is valued in a team member. It’s only 2 and a half minutes long, give it a watch.

most places in the country have good tap water

Except when it doesn’t.

But it’s rare. This example comes from 8 years ago.

If I’m gonna waste my time, I’d rather the freedom to choose where it goes.

Anything else would be un-American.

I reckon. Is there a way to effectively filter out American politics from my Lemmy feed?
