@Typo-MAGAshiv I definitely am no expert but its pretty simple and not as much of a skill as welding. I still get nervous when I solder a joint in a copper water pipe. Am I going to get a leak and ruin the house? None so far but I have heard horror stories of men who have caused huge amounts of damage jointing pipes badly and getting a slow leak they don't notice for months.

Flux is your friend if there is any risk of oxidisation.

You can get coper pipe joints with the solder already in them, which makes it much easier.

On that subject, I bought such a cool new blow torch the other day. Well well worth the investment. Looks a lot safer than the old one. It didn't end well with the old one. One of those stories you recount because its amusing but it is a bit embarrassing. The old one was very old and had overheated in the past. The plastic base that sealed with the gas cylinder was all melted. Seal still looked OK ish. I really should have chucked it. I meant to but I never got round to buying a replacement, so I never threw the original, in case i needed it unexpectedly. A couple of weeks ago, I was heating a pipe to melt air holes in a plastic box for my daughter to transport her ferret in (yeah not an urgent thing, so should have bought the new one first). Suddenly the torch sprang a leak and went up in a fireball of butane gas.

I was stood between the garage where I have about 100 gallons of fuel stored and my truck. My first thought probably should have been "Run and throw this somewhere safe" but was I was wearing gloves and I thought "Turn this thing off and stop the drama" That didn't go well as I fumbled to turn the valve in the gloves. As I felt my arm burn, I threw the thing away from the garage but it wasn't a good throw and it went under the truck in a surprisingly impressive flaring fireball. Happily the truck is armoured underneath for off road use so that bought me a little time. I ran to get the hosepipe. I just wanted to stop the butane cylinder overheating. "Can I help Daddy" "Not now love". Hosepipe worked well fortunately.

The new torch has a trigger. When you stop pulling it the flame dies and it makes a satisfying pop sound. Much safer. Good safe tools are so satisfying.

@cuztrpp

here I need to struggle with the shitty UI/UX

I think the UI here fucking rocks. My only complaint about the forums.red interface is that the sidebars for each forum are not actually on the side, but rather in a dropdown menu that not many users notice.

Just about everything else at forums.red operates exactly like reddit.

What exactly would you suggest to improve it? Site owner @redpillschool is always open to suggestions and feedback.

As far as bothering with developing an app, read some of what RPS said about it in the past. The Apple Store and Google Play are likely to remove anything that's actually Red Pill.

Links to a few previous posts from RPS about this I found using the site's kickass search feature:
