Hi, Aussie here. Entirely expected and unsurprising. I mean Hitler learned from the USA.
Been watching the usa destroy everything nice about Australia for my entire life and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Good luck, please don't our government again if we elect another socialist.
Those prelubed long grey fingers just do it for me mate.
All the blokes I've met that are happy in love are just gentle and respectful, especially of consent.
Turns out, and I know this is a shocker, we're not fucking aliens we just want to be treated as equally valuable and interesting people.
Find a spark plug, crumble, embed in shoe sole by stepping on it, jumpkick glass, become legend.
the OG Nazis were dumb as bricks lmao. Weird nerds with massive egos half of which believed in magic.
This is such bad faith it's a waste of effort to talk to you. You're not interested in learning anything, you're just going to use debatelord nonense to move away from the substance of the disagreement into an argument about the semantics of it, then when I get exasperated insist you 'won' something.
Ultimately you don't matter and you're not worth my time, l8er treatlerite.

You know it was in my living memory that killing a man for hitting on another man was reasonable self defense.
Just because something is normalised doesn't mean it's not a hideous evil.
vegantheoryclub has a veganrecipes community, and there's a discord with many tasty foods (often a bit on the healthy side for my taste ;) ) linked there or in the homecooks comm.
If you're used to the excess of a western diet it's a little to learn, but really it's just moving away from using fat and meat so much to spices and sauces.
TVP just needs flavouring with a sauce. you can use it to make e.g. https://theeburgerdude.com/vegan-burger-patties/#recipe, https://lovingitvegan.com/vegan-ground-beef/#recipe mixed into something like this https://minimalistbaker.com/1-hour-vegan-shepherds-pie/ and so on.
I often add it to things with lentils to add more chew, like to vegan burritos and so on. Just make a stock and soak then prior, and add flavour elements. Usual directions for me are earthy spices and herbs.
We see the same thing in climate action protests: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-024-01444-1.epdf
I believe researchers call it the radical fringe effect.
C/2024 G3 Baybee. First comet in my life I've actually been able to see with me old lookenpeepers.
e You're fine, it's practice.
Some of those wires are quite thick which will pull heat away fast making soldering with shitty equipment hard. A good soldering iron* set to the correct temperature will help massively. Flux gets you then last 20% of the way. Most solders are flux cored, but a little pot of rosin flux you either dip the end of a wire in or dab on (i use a sharpened chop stick because no static and cheap) and suddenly the solder flows like water.
Remember not to heat the solder and instead heat the joint. My favoured technique is to "tin" both sides individually and then put then against each other and a quick touch with the iron to make the joint. Ensures you have good contact and doesn't require growing extra fingers although it is slower.
Hobbiest electronics don't need perfection, some failure is fine you can always repair it since you made it.
Never be embarressed to learn a new skill!
edit: here's my impatient soldering of the last couple of days:
Some of the joints are garbage (had to rewire some, lost patience) but if you look at the joints in the foreground you can see how much neater tinning each side and joining can be.
