Hi tooters, I seek some electronics wisdom today.

I'm looking for something to cut thin tungsten electrode wires with (done under a microscope). The wirecutters used for electronics quickly develop little grooves and become useless.

Is there a better solution which doesn't cost $500 ? Tried the bead-makers' cutters and they are not sharp enough for this. Any ideas ? Tired of ordering random wirecutters that don't work !

Hello youths, it is your queer auntie Abadidea back with the advice

I was alerted to a 19yo autistic person who heard "autistic people tend to form their first successful long-term relationship around 30" and concluded that there is then no point to even trying until they're 30. I don't know where this statistic came from or how accurate it is, but that's a bit beside the point, because:

Very few people get into a successful long-term relationship on their very first try. The usual way of things is that two well-meaning young people fall in love and then something goes painfully, messily wrong four months in and they both LEARN something about how to conduct themselves and how to deal with others. Repeat two or three more times until two people who have developed some emotional maturity fall in love. It may take autistic people a little longer on average to iron out the kinks, but they'll get there!

If you decide "I won't even try until I'm 30 because the math says that's when it works out," what's going to happen is that you're going to be 30 with the emotional maturity of a wildly unbalanced 18yo and all the other 30yos are going to be like... yeah, not touching that with a 10-foot pole.

Successful relationships come from practice, not from waiting for the Maturity Fairy to bless you!

a second thought: The worst, most bitter argument of your life will be with someone you love — not an enemy or someone you dgaf about. Whether the relationship recovers from it depends a lot on the skills you’ve both learned about sailing troubled waters together.

Looking for advice from coop housing lovers! 🏘️

Do you know any cooperative housing initiatives in #Rotterdam? Do you know how to start one (is it too utopistic?)

I will be moving there in August/September to attend @xpub 🤩

Considering the current housing crisis, I want to be prepared and to start looking for a place as soon as possible!

Boosts in NL are welcome 💕
