MAN i need to learn soldering properly i took computer tech for like 3 years in highschool but we learned to get rid of flux residue by going at the pcbs with a barbecue wire brush which makes every electronics nerd i know physically recoil to think about which is very funny but also. maybe i should. learn to use a solvent

#in our teachers defence we 16 year olds were very heavy handed with solder. so there wasnt as much of a risk of like #ripping off the solder by accident. im pretty sure it still happened but i dont remember LOL #i dunno i was thinking about maybe figuring out a way to make some kind of bird box or bird feeder camera. it could be fun #i have an ancient raspberry pi somewhere and im sure i can find old webcams and stuff around. there may be a way to mcgyver something #maybe not something fancy or smart but i like dumb electronics. id love to just see footage of the silly guys HFKJSHKS #but looking at peoples homemade bird cameras really remind me about how i took computer tech for 3 years without learning a thing <3 #dont regret it! but man i didnt absorb any of the stuff we were taught and the stuff i did absorb was NOT particularly applicable jdskhkjfd #i definitely struggled a lot....especially making. lights in parallel. I KNOW i know thats like the basics #BUT LISTEN. parallel circuits are. hard
