@AmpBenzScientist @pfpoitras would you have any idea of how to filter very fine particles out of water? i use paper to get rid of most of the filler but there's a fine mist of it that clouds the water. passes straight through all paper filters i've tried, and the particles are light enough that they don't fall to the bottom of the container.

@AmpBenzScientist that's the one i had in mind i think. sounds like it depends on evaporation.

@AmpBenzScientist @pfpoitras it's alkaline so that's to be expected. i mix with fruit syrup and i have to add a lot more than with just pure water to get something palatable. the citric acid in the fruit and the alkaline caffeine counteract each other, i think.

the Apollo program is often justified with the inventions it lead to. but, you know, we probably could've done all of that stuff without the rockets. if we had just wanted to. but we don't bother with inventing cool stuff unless it's for war. a whole lot of clever stuff was also invented because somebody wanted to get laid. such noble motives...

@thor Caffeine is in itself a quite bitter compound. Maybe it results in better extraction?

@lupyuen
This is not my best work but it was my first real experience with the Silver alloy solder I had just bought. Some joints look okay and others look like I was intimidated by the amount of heat that I was using.

@lupyuen @AmpBenzScientist It has always been somewhat daunting when I have to solder through-hole components. Soldering surface-mount components with paste and hot plate is actually much less stressful. Learning to use kicad was also totally worth it.

The #Ox64 #riscv dev board (and a Pinecil) showed up today from Pine64. Will have to give it a try tonight. Excited to play with hardware again.
