What's nice about having only one tooth is that you don't need to floss, but what's even nicer about having no teeth is that you don't need to brush.

Yeah it worked. The rules were, the first to build the kit, and have it actually turn off the TV would be the winner. In the vid you can see the TV go off.

I used to enjoy making all my solder into different sized solder balls and spiky shapes and stuff.
My dad was in the army, so I suppose he was a solder too.

i think he just left the entire lead on the led's on. then cut the excess off after he's all done.
much easier than cutting the leads to length before soldering them onto the board.

Oops.. nearly the ... ( 5 days ago by aboctok)

Oops.. nearly the worst example possible—'ph' is a recurring phoneme throughout the English-speaking world.
Since it comes to us from ancient Greek, you could argue that 'ph', as an orthographic element, pre-dates the influence on written English, of the vast majority of other languages!

the point is that ' ... ( 4 days ago by aboctok)

the point is that 'ph' exists because 'something' happened.. historically, socially, whatever (any of the ways that language develops).
there may be such a reason why 'solder' is pronounced differently, but mikeselectric's point is that, if there isn't such a reason, and the 'L' is just being dropped, then it's sloppy—like friends of mine who just say '1, 2, free', because they never paid attention.
so, "it's said that way because it's said that way" is really a non-response.

i got my point ... ( 4 days ago by itzahazylife)

i got my point across either way, so the fact that it wasn't an accurate example, doesn't make it a bad example..in the end i'm sure both of u knew what i meant nonetheless

I just thought that ... ( 4 days ago by subclonk)

I just thought that some Americans thought that it was a silent 'L'.. which it might be in whichever area they're from. I'm from the UK and we have people down south that say barth and grahs instead of bath and grass. lol :P

Thank you for making this known.

Yes. But remember ... ( 3 days ago by aboctok)

Yes. But remember they're only doing it to feed and clothe children. It's just not as cool as being in a nice big group of self-celebrating hobbyists. This is what the trophy is actually for—it's the prize for acknowledged status within the social group.
Regular assembly-line workers, female or otherwise, are just boring. Offbeat dudes living the dream, working on hobbies in basements—now that's cool!
