Go buy a used Hakko 959 or something similar on fleebay. They should be dirt cheap by now. The knockoffs generally work decent too. Only buy genuine Hakko tips. Any lead based solder works well. $teaxas lead free solder can work almost as well too, but is $texas for home use. |

I think I finally figured out why one specific toilet is always never flushed.
It was clean this morning, so I used it. It kept making this noise that reminded me of NES Ikari Warriors grenade through After I'm done, no auto flush. I push the button, doesn't flush. No manual level either. Great. |

I also thought about getting a Xtronic 3-in1 with hot air. A guy I know who has a side business repairing circuit boards has had good luck with Xtronic. A friend swears by Weller irons, but every Weller I have ever used was crap. Mostly I am soldering small electronics and circuit boards, FWIW. |

I'm trying to decide if I should mention my lack of call backs to the owner or not. He is a well respected guy that's active on a lot of car forums. The sad thing is the shop's instagram has photos of 240Zs that they like, I guess they just don't want to work on them, which is fine, just don't waste my time by taking my info down and promising a call back which never happens. |

The road outside my work is insanely busy. It's two lanes each direction and a turn lane. There's an intersection a few hundred feet from our building.
Invariably, traffic backs up there and overly courteous drivers make gaps to let people pull out of the lot across the street and make a left. So, these people will in effect attempt to make a blind left, and then get smoked by someone barreling up the turn lane to get to the intersection. I see at least one pretty bad accident a week there. And that's just what I see. It's probably a daily occurrence. This is why you don't cruise up the turn lane for half a mile and why you also don't let people out to make blind turns. |

I understand that I just don't understand the gripe. A business that is set up from the beginning and top down to rent cars is less of a hassle than a recent brokerage that pairs people willing to sell time in their POV to strangers? I'm guessing you walk out of hotel and hate waiting five minutes for your uber driver to show up and in a huff you just get into one of the five taxis already waiting outside?

At an intersection...a simple + with stop signs on each side.
https://i.imgur.com/h5KU7Pb.png I am Yellow B. As I'm arriving at the intersection Blue C has already come to a stop and Teal A is coming to a stop. Everyone is going straight (no one has blinkers on). Blue C starts driving. However Teal A stops and looks at me to go. I cannot go because Blue C is in the intersection. Teal A waits, still looking at me, then eventually goes. By this point another car has arrived in Blue C's spot and starts to go... WTF Teal A? Don't wait for me. Go. You waiting for me totally jacks up the flow of the intersection. |

If you're going straight and the guy across from you is going straight and the guys to your left and right are going straight...****ING HAMMER IT when the guy across from you goes because the folks to your left and right aren't going to be able to go anywhere. This is very simple.

I think I should reach out to the owner although the inside wants me to call them out on their forums/google reviews. |

3rded.
But it happens here (at the entrance to my neighborhood) all the damn time which results in me being stuck for 5-10 minutes while people sit there not moving. Bunch of ****in idiots. |

Good advice, thanks. Now I need to go to the MAIC forum, which I haven't visited in ages, to see if they have a thread I can leave feedback in.

There's one 4 way stop on my drive to/from work. Going home I have to take a right and make sure I'm aware of who gets to the stop first, who is indicating they're turning, who isn't indicating they're turning but who surely looks like they're going to turn but can't be bothered to use a signal light to include the person next to me that should be going straight but not unusual to have them turn right because why the **** not, right? I take all of that consideration in what I do which ends up being realistically just hoping for the best.
Going to work I just take a completely different way to not have to turn left in that intersection. |

Regarding the 4 way stop. If only we all thought this way. I guess that why you have laws so people can follow them in a uniform manner.
I go through a few 4 way stops on the bus ride up the hill. The variance in how people treat the stop is staggering. I believe in the above.. Car 1going straight, Car 2 going to cross paths, and Car 3 also going straight in a parallel decision, then the order should be parallel vehicles first, crossing vehicle after blah blah. Except every now and then you get righteous folks who follow strict priority order and will cut off Car 3. Which reminds of a hilarious situation where a fully automated cruise car (under testing) basically parked itself at one of these intersections because the stop sign order was completely chaotic. |

The turning vehicle is cross traffic. Now, that said, typically wait your turn and assume the moron that appears to be going straight is actually turning. |
