    Graduated in 07. Gave all of my savings to my parents in 08 so they wouldn’t lose their house. Bumbled around for a decade and a half trying to get a degree and start my career only to get shit canned from an okay paying job mid-pandemic. Tripped over my own dick in to a great paying union job. Currently working too much overtime and saving every dime I can because I’ve seen enough shit.









  • If I’m repairing something like my washing machine I usually just hardwire stuff to the board so there’s no waiting for parts. Shopping around for connectors can be a pain but the important things to look are are pin diameter and pin pitch. Whenever I order I always get a male and female connector because the terminology doesn’t seem to be consistent across connector designs. You’ll also need a pinning tool for whatever style of connector you get, unless it uses solder cups or something.
