Not if you're good at it. Most people aren't good at drug dealing and therefore shouldn't be in the business. Just like a lot of doctors don't give a rats ass about the patients and are only in it for the money.
Z brackets on a reinforced door with sensors and cameras + incinerator to put drugs in. They had an illegal marijuana smoke lounge in England somewhere, and any time the pigs would raid it, they'd throw all the weed into the incinerator, and then unlock the door.
Cops got owned every time. Until they decided to use a tractor or something to smash through the wall. They still couldn't get any drugs and it resulted in at least one person inside getting injured, so the owner handed them a joint or something so they'd lay off, and then changed locations. -
2019-05-15 at 8:13 PM UTC in Scientists develop brain-controlled hearing aid
Scientists have created a hearing aid which relies on the user's own brain waves to tune into specific people and things, drowning out background noise.
The device, developed at Columbia University in New York, uses speech-separation algorithms with neural networks, complex mathematical models that imitate the brain's natural abilities.
The system first separates out the voices of individual speakers from a group, then compares the voices of each speaker to the brain waves of the person listening.
Whichever voice pattern most closely matches the listener's brain waves will then be amplified over the rest.
It is still in the early stages of development, but experts say the technology is a huge step for people hard of hearing to better communicate with the people around them.
'The brain area that processes sound is extraordinarily sensitive and powerful; it can amplify one voice over others, seemingly effortlessly, while today's hearings aids still pale in comparison,' said Nima Mesgarani, PhD, a principal investigator at Columbia's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and the paper's senior author.
'By creating a device that harnesses the power of the brain itself, we hope our work will lead to technological improvements that enable the hundreds of millions of hearing-impaired people worldwide to communicate just as easily as their friends and family do.'
Modern hearing aids amplify speech and suppress background noise like traffic.
But that's as precise as they get.

2019-05-15 at 8 PM UTC in Frala, I’m mourning for you sugar darlingsScience, science, science!
Everything is beautiful
blown up beneath my glass.
Colors dazzle insect wings.
A drop of water swirls
like marble. Ordinary
crumbs become stalactites
set in perfect angles
of geometry I’d thought
impossible. Few will
ever see what I see
through this microscope.
Cranial measurements
crowd my notebook pages,
and I am moving closer,
close to how these numbers
signify aspects of
national character.
Her genitalia
will float inside a labeled
pickling jar in the Musée
de l’Homme on a shelf
above Broca’s brain:
“The Venus Hottentot.”
Elegant facts await me.
Small things in this world are mine.
2.
There is unexpected sun today
in London, and the clouds that
most days sift into this cage
where I am working have dispersed.
I am a black cutout against
a captive blue sky, pivoting
nude so the paying audience
can view my naked buttocks.
I am called “Venus Hottentot.”
I left Capetown with a promise
of revenue: half the profits
and my passage home: A boon!
Master’s brother proposed the trip;
the magistrate granted me leave.
I would return to my family
a duchess, with watered-silk
dresses and money to grow food,
rouge and powders in glass pots,
silver scissors, a lorgnette,
voile and tulle instead of flax,
cerulean blue instead
of indigo. My brother would
devour sugar-studded non-
pareils, pale taffy, damask plums.
That was years ago. London’s
circuses are florid and filthy,
swarming with cabbage-smelling
citizens who stare and query,
“Is it muscle? bone? or fat?”
My neighbor to the left is
The Sapient Pig, “The Only
Scholar of His Race.” He plays
at cards, tells time and fortunes
by scraping his hooves. Behind
me is Prince Kar-mi, who arches
like a rubber tree and stares back
at the crowd from under the crook
of his knee. A professional
animal trainer shouts my cues.
There are singing mice here.
“The Ball of Duchess DuBarry”:
In the engraving I lurch
toward the belles dames, mad-eyed, and
they swoon. Men in capes and pince-nez
shield them. Tassels dance at my hips.
In this newspaper lithograph
my buttocks are shown swollen
and luminous as a planet.
Monsieur Cuvier investigates
between my legs, poking, prodding,
sure of his hypothesis.
I half expect him to pull silk
scarves from inside me, paper poppies,
then a rabbit! He complains
at my scent and does not think
I comprehend, but I speak
English. I speak Dutch. I speak
a little French as well, and
languages Monsieur Cuvier
will never know have names.
Now I am bitter and now
I am sick. I eat brown bread,
drink rancid broth. I miss good sun,
miss Mother’s sadza. My stomach
is frequently queasy from mutton
chops, pale potatoes, blood sausage.
I was certain that this would be
better than farm life. I am
the family entrepreneur!
But there are hours in every day
to conjur my imaginary
daughters, in banana skirts
and ostrich-feather fans.
Since my own genitals are public
I have made other parts private.
In my silence I possess
mouth, larynx, brain, in a single
gesture. I rub my hair
with lanolin, and pose in profile
like a painted Nubian
archer, imagining gold leaf
woven through my hair, and diamonds.
Observe the wordless Odalisque.
I have not forgotten my Xhosa
clicks. My flexible tongue
and healthy mouth bewilder
this man with his rotting teeth.
If he were to let me rise up
from this table, I’d spirit
his knives and cut out his black heart,
seal it with science fluid inside
a bell jar, place it on a low
shelf in a white man’s museum
so the whole world could see
it was shriveled and hard,
geometric, deformed, unnatural. -

2019-05-15 at 7:01 PM UTC in What did you succeeded in doing today ???https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/diy-soldering-iron-tip-the-best-material.105032/
The total thermal resistance is related to the length of the object and it's cross sectional area. The resistance goes up as the length increases and goes down as the cross sectional area goes up. This means a long tip will not solder as well as a short tip, and a very thick metal tip will solder better than a thin tip.
While also looking at the thermal properties of several metals, we find that iron and steel are about 8 times less thermally conductive than copper. This is not very good at all. This means to get the same soldering ability from a steel tip as a copper tip we'd need a tip that is either:
1. 2.83 times the diameter as the copper tip, or
2. 8 times shorter than the copper tip, or
3. 2 times shorter and 2 times the diameter as the copper tip.
Using #3, a tip half the length and twice the diameter will mean the steel tip will solder about as well as the copper tip. So a 1.5 inch long 1/8 inch diameter copper tip is about the same as a 0.75 inch long 1/4 inch diameter steel tip.
Now we turn to the forgotten metal alloy, Brass…
Common brass has thermal resistivity about 4 times that of copper, so it's about twice better than steel or iron to begin with.
To get the same characteristics as that of copper, we could use a tip made of brass that is the same length as the copper tip but has twice the diameter. If we use the same tip diameter we'd have to shorten the tip by four times, so a thicker tip works better.
If we choose to shorten the tip by 25 percent we can get by with a tip diameter of 1.73 times the copper tip diameter. Shortening the tip by 25 percent means a 1 inch tip turns into a 3/4 inch tip for example.
So the best bets here are:
1. Steel, 2 times shorter and 2 times the diameter, or
2. Brass, same length as copper tip with 2 times the diameter, or 0.75 times the length of the copper tip and 1.7 times the diameter of the copper tip.
Just to note, i've used brass for my tips for a long time. The main thing to remember is that it either has to be much shorter than the original copper tip or of greater diameter. If the tip screws in then the larger diameter has to be turned down first to the right diameter for the screw threads.
Hobby stores sell short lengths of brass stock, as well as some hardware stores, which are made of common brass.
I've also used regular soft steel 10 penny nails in a pinch, but they are not as good as brass. They do tap for screw threads easily though, and so does the brass.
Just to note, using a tip that is too long or not thick enough can result in cold solder joints. It's not too hard to test a newly created tip though, just try to solder with it and see if it solders the same as with the copper tip. It should melt the solder just as fast and wet the joint just as well when soldering a typical joint. -

Right, a lot of people use nails. Won't heat up quite as fast as a thin coating of iron or steel, but it'll work. People are just impatient. I'm wondering about glass tips.
you can just unscrew the screw and replace the tip with either a coper rod or an iron nail. -

Some things won't likely kill you but make you wish you were dead.
EDIT: and if you wanted someone to stop drinking alcohol, there's a mushroom that is only toxic when mixed with alcohol. Not usually deadly, but it'll make you extremely sick. Just spike someone's food with that, or drink. -

Chances are your heating element regardless of what you use is going to be a resistance metal. So the material that makes the core of the tip and the coating of the tip isn't too important.
EDIT: I might try making a soldering iron with silver/diamond core inside the heating element. Maybe I'll use a gold tip.
EDIT: Nvm, can't use gold. -

It happens.
Anyhow, accurate temperature control does not require an expensive soldering iron. You can easily make one yourself with extremely precise temperature control for next to nothing (or nothing if you like cannibalizing old components and improvising) -

I have…pretty much daily.
"instant" of course not no…when you put it in the holder it cools quickly "instantly" compared with a non regulated iron…when you take it out it heats up to the set temp in about the same amount of time all automatically.
Your soldering iron isn't going to defy the basic laws of physics. Try again. You're like a white version of the black dudes that are obsessed with having a several hundred dollar pair of Jordans to feel complete. It might impress some prostitutes or hoodrats, but the rest of humanity is going to laugh at you. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Um that's not uncommonly priced for a professional solder station. A $30 one from Walmart is only meant for occasional soldering…if you were using it 8hrs a day 300 days a year you'd soon see the value in a professional station. The tips on a Hakko also last about a year (with HEAVY usage) due to the smart technology in the station (instant cooling and heating when pulled from the holder /put back in the holder)..that feature alone saves your $$$$$ on replacement tips.
Once you've used one regularly you'd never go back to using the $30 one..it's like driving a Lambo and then going back to a Fiat.
"smart technology" lmao
You don't even understand it. There is nothing smart about it. And there is no such thing as "instant cooling" or heating. Try again. -

You've been hoodwinked. Anybody that would pay that much for a soldering iron is a twat. You can't go back in time and change this. You are officially now a twat.
Mind explaining how anyone could justify a soldering iron being that expensive? What features does it have that would make it that expensive?
