19:49 Tom_L rue
21:48 rue_house ok
21:55 Tom_itx so
21:55 Tom_itx what was the cause of the blaze the other day?
21:59 rue_house candle in a pumpkin
22:00 rue_house on a plastic lid
22:00 rue_house on a foam cushin of a chair
22:00 rue_house beside a cardboard box containing propane tanks
22:00 rue_house sitting beside a house with recalled sprinkler heads
22:00 rue_house *but*
22:07 rue_house the fire wasn't in the room space, it was in the wall
22:08 rue_house so there is some debate if they could have gone off at all
22:08 rue_house sprinkler heads are meant to put fires out that are in the room
23:04 delinquentme So I think I think i shorted a connection with a messy solder / remove and resolder...
23:04 delinquentme any specialist tips on how I might unshort these connections?
23:11 rue_house sure
23:11 rue_house get a good coax cable,
23:11 rue_house gut it, take off the woven jacket
23:11 orlok put an offer in for a house with double car sized shed and workshop
23:11 orlok !
23:12 rue_house use it as "solder braid"
23:12 rue_house it will suck up the solder
23:20 ace4016 or just buy the solder braid.
23:20 ace4016 it's cheap enough and doesn't require you to cannibalize a coax
