Of course! I’ve actually used those for marine connections before. For some reason I just forgot those existed. Thank you.

I don’t think a soldering iron would retain enough heat. I had considered warming something else up with a torch but any hot work anywhere in that site requires all sorts of permitting even where it’s possible.

I had never heard of that. Definitely going to look into it now though.

In this situation it was butt splices. We almost never solder anything. We just need the butt splices sealed in case of condensation or dirt.

There’s an idea. As long as I’m using boiling water there will never be an ignition hazard because it will never go much above 100C. I could probably do something with a bit of water and quicklime to have an instant ignition free hotplate.

I’d need to figure out specifics and test it elsewhere of course but that is probably workable. The real question is if it’s practical in the field. Either way it’s something I’ll probably try out at home just for fun.

Yeah, tape is fine here and logically I know noone will complain but it still rubs me the wrong way so I was hoping there was an alternative. If not then oh well, tape it is.

You know it’s honestly more believable that she was bought than that the dems just accidentally ran a campaign that was so heinously out of touch.

If you’ve opened it up enough to get access to the fans then you were most likely like 90% of the way to getting access to the hard drives too. Hell, on every laptop I’ve ever owned, it was actually easier to access the hard drives than the fans.

If I have to break out anything more than a plate/bowl and utensils then it’s cooking.
