What's your favorite frugal find this week?
  • As someone with fruit trees that are on the road side boarder of my property, I agree, it is theft and really annoying. Especially people taking the fruit when it is not quite ripe. To be honest if some one asks for some I am happy to let them take a small amont. When I see what looks like a copious amount of fruit on an overhanging tree, I ask the property owner. I have never been denied.

  • Snowflake is such a weird insult as it seems to imply it's best to just be like everyone else
  • I think you are cherry picking. It says it means both. My 5c: If you think you are unique and you don't give a fuck about what other people think (example would be a goth or punk imo), then not a snowflake. If you melt down at the slightest touch over others not being like the status quo (example would be a Karen imo). Not a snowflake. If you think you are different, and melt down as soon as someone chalanges that difference (example vegan yelling at someone buying a steak imo) then snowflake.

  • A cool guide to soldering
  • As mentioned, you need the pad to be hot for the solder to wick onto it. There is missing info in step 1. Step 1 should say to have a slightly wet iron (solder on the iron). You used this molten solder as the heat transfer medium. Hold the iron so the wet solder on it is touching the pad and lead. This gives more surface area for the heat to travel from the iron to the pad. A dry iron touching a pad will have poor thermal connection, so the pad will take a long time to heat up.

  • Reserve Bank considers the digital dollar: 'NZ's money must innovate to stay relevant '
  • Wtf are you on about? Proof of work is to keep the distributed ledgers honest. You need it if you are running a trustless system. If it is a central ledger, which it will be if a government is running it, then there is no need for proof of work.

  • Binance was slapped with a $4.3 billion fine because it let groups like Hamas and ISIS receive funds: Treasury Department
  • We only know ftx was stealing due to a run on the exchange. Binance could also easily be in the same boat, we just don't know, as they have not been tested for there liquidity. Also it turns out ftx pretty much had the money, but it just was not liquid.
