Building a laser pointer device starting with just the laser emitting device and a couple of lead wires.

I need to decide how I’m going to wire in a charging element and a battery, and then I need to build a housing for it all.

(The housing isn’t directly related to electrical current, but it’s related to the project as a whole.)

“ability to pay for food” is not constraint

You just haven’t seen the truth for what it is, maaaaaaaaaan

Birds are real.

The consensus is “only men ask about that.”

It’s going to be more work than you think. An old stereo like that is also going to need new capacitors. (Worn capacitors can also cause many issues.) So, you’ll need soldering skill.

First, you’ll want to look up the service manual. That’ll tell you about the various parts and components inside.

Cleaning potentiometers isn’t hard. But if one or more of them is deteriorating from wear - not just dirty - they’ll need to be replaced, and that also requires soldering.

You’re welcome. And by the way, your sister is my favorite

They are each great in their own way, and in their own context. I can’t love one more than the other, but I love them differently.

Just because you lack empathy doesn’t mean that guy isn’t serious.

You said doo-doo

I’ve done it with Calibre.

Results vary, but if it’s a simple enough document without too many images or formatting, it should come out very readable.

It’s literally called “solo dot AI.” Every system that has anything to do with so-called “AI” wants to track every single thing you do on the platform, so they can train machines on the data.

What did you expect? You literally tried to use an AI service.

Remove the AI. Problem solved!

Believing that my belief doesn’t matter is no more or less valid than believing that he either did or did not do it.

What I believe doesn’t matter.

I make huge pots of stews, beans, sauces, etc. and freeze most of it.

As long as I remember to take something out of the freezer, I can always count on a good meal.
