  • I would try two things.

    1. heat gun the goo a little (get it up to like 150F or so) and see if it the sappy liquid runs and you can maybe clean it and drain it easier at temp

    2. get some shrink wrap to seal up the ends. That might help for a while if you can get it tight.

    I’m not familiar with those headphones but sometimes manufacturers will put grease or goo inside the cables to reduce straining and folding of the wires.

    It looks kinda like rosin in the photo. I wonder if something inside the device was saturated in rosin and its just leaking down the cable?





  • Our grand parents did this kind of stuff all the time. Kids were allowed to roam free in forests for hours. Weirdly if she’d left the kids in a forest they probably would be fine.

    A lot of the danger comes from car infrastructure. Parking lots might as well be the surface of mercury on a hot day with almost no shade. Traffic poses a lethal hazard to kids. Almost all shade is removed on purpose in public urban areas lest god forbid homeless people decide to hang out at a covered rest stop. And don’t even think of letting kids wander around shops or commercial areas.

    Not saying this lady did anything right but society has to own up to its role in making urban areas hostile to children.








  • “Stealth AI Startup”

    Gotta say, couldn’t pick a less sympathetic person for the screenshot.

    I think the trump HB1 visa thing has put a nail in this coffin for people in the tech industry. You have to compete with people who get paid 40% less and will be deported if they take a day off. If they made it so visas required prevailing wages and had better protections it would be less of a problem…

    Not to mention programming is easily outsourced so wages heavily depend on things like relative education costs. All of which are likely to be less favorable while the country is being dismantled by an oligarch.
