1) at that price most irons will be the same low quality. They will get the job done but they will work against you. To start out its fine. But I do recommend you investing in a nicer one as soon as you are willing. A TS100 is the best and cheapest IMO at ~$75, a high end set is easily $500 or more, but the $75 one is surprisingly close to the high end ones in performance. Just keep in mind you get what you pay for and a cheap iron will mean headaches in the future.
2) Op amps dnt need an ac supply, the opposite they use a DC supply. Perhaps you are thinking of a dual rail supply? An AC source might be useful to play with an opamp, but not needed as you can feed it any signal including pulses of dc or whatever else you want to.
3) Yes, dont test if wires are live by licking them, I cant stress this enough!

@freemo 1) yeah figured this would be the case thanks, any similar recommends on multimeter or can i save there?
2) yeah was thinking I could just make do with 9V batteries and *insert homework here* use those to drive a small AC current when needed
3) if i want a cheeky citrus boost that's my business

@freemo PS soldering iron kit comes with multimeter, which seems suspiciously generous for under £30...
Finally getting around to some electronics work, I've a few questions for those in the know...
Planning to start off with some op amps and basic RLC circuits
1) Looking at ~£22 for a soldering iron kit and ~£10 for basic component kit. Are there any pitfalls or good deals I should be aware of?
2) Op amps need an AC supply, loath to buy a ready made one however. Worth building a power supply from scratch?
( @freemo I know you recommended building some LED/RLC stuff first but I can't find the post and since I'll be needing an AC source soon anyway)
3) Any other practical considerations to bear in mind?

Remember: in the fediverse you can still be deplatformed if you aren't running your own instance!
@Aether this is impressive thanks
first thought is that you won't be able to make this quantitative without some sense of what the rate at which these get reported in online news sites.
the reality is that if you can close your eyes to the VAERS data then you can close your eyes to anything
most people I know in person are willing to close their eyes to the VAERS data
@JapanAnon nice, might join for the next
