I didn't realize you're re-attaching the same cap.
Ceramic capacitors are pretty brittle. Before you break yourself re-attaching it, it might be useful to test the capacitance, and see if it still works. You could get it resoldered, only to find you've got an open, because one termination went kablooey.

@amro@strangeobject.space

You've got a bit of side overhang on that solder joint.

I sympathize - I've been a solder trainer for 15+ years.

Don't blame me, I don't make the rules.

There's absolutely no scientific evidence that rubbing the ends of my fingers together makes any difference in mood or emotion. That doesn't stop me from doing it when I'm anxious, because I find it calming.

My trash day is Tuesdays, and my schedule is completely ruined because trash had to go out this morning. No pickup on national holidays.

The moon is just a graphic printed on the inside of the dome that covers Platter Earth. They cover it so the air doesn't leak out.

seems like a reasonable way to interact with those peddling conspiracy theories.

I've spent 35 years trying to get rid of the racism I was taught, and 40 years trying to get rid of the internalized homophobia. When it comes to the autism I'm still at the "grit my teeth, duck my head, and plow through it" stage.

@ScottSoCal @tilton look just stay calm and keep your back to a solid wall until the lensflares pick up and you can find your way out

@tilton

OK, but I have a Kelvin timeline, what's that? I've only gone into it a couple of times - it's very dark in there.

The speech by Frederick Douglass for the Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society of Rochester, NY on July 5th, 1852. He was asked to speak on July 4th, but he chose July 5th instead, to commemorate the abolishment of slavery in New York on July 5th, 1827

At the beginning of the wedding, the newlyweds are blessed with  Korovay, and at the end, the godparents distribute the loaf among the guests, as if sharing the happiness of the young family with everyone present.

I haven't had to move in more than 20 years. This is the longest (by at least 4x) that I've ever lived in the same place.
