If you want them to look like they just came out of the factory, get an ultrasonic cleaner and the degreaser concentrate. I bought one a while back and decided to clean some 1/10 scale RC car parts in it since I was trying to get all the grease out of the nooks and crannies and even a toothbrush was having a difficult time with it.

The parts came out looking brand new, like I had just pulled them out of their original packaging.

Audiograbber with the LAME codec. Actually still have it on my computer. I still buy the random CD now and again and rip it to my media server, and then never touch it again.

Anyone who has ever read the Sword of Truth series and encountered the author’s obsession with hating socialism has seen what happens when right-wing folk do it: it ruins the experience.

And unions. Really drove that home when Richard was in the Old World.

And now I need to make a 3D printed mold in a comfortable shape that can be used to easily cast concrete around a lighter.

Maybe a simple cylinder, with the lighter off center so it can easily be flicked?

Maybe I’ll squish some play-doh around one and scan it and use that.

Whatever, it just needs to be too big to “accidentally” end up in someone’s pocket.

Huh, you know maybe knowing the origin of the joke affects how I determine whether it’s derogatory or not?

I did not think about that, but looking back, seems like an easy pitfall.

Good point.

Honesty, I think it would be fairly easy to figure out.

If it is derogatory - homophobe.

If it points out an idiosyncracy, and makes fun of it - queer, or at least not homophobe.

In my experience, bgoted people make jokes that insult and/or demean those people they hate. It is not done primarily to be funny, but to hurt and demean. Making it funny just helps spread it around.

Ooooohhh yeah…

How about a 6 pin connector?

Cable side connector with strain relief. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT06SE-10-6P-SR/341057

Bulkhead connector. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT02SE-10-6S/341071

To include or exclude the strain relief, add or remove the “(SR)” from the part number.

Are we not doing “phrasing” anymore?
