Soldering irons solder, like, metal. Among other things. Yes, they'll cauterize flesh. You have to be pretty careful when using them or you can hurt yourself fairly badly.

We're joking about burning through a portion of our brains by jamming a soldering iron through the side. I'm not sure "be pretty careful", or even "be any amount careful at all", fits with that.

i must of missed this, why would people want to essentially cook their brains? It sounds dangerous and lethal, which I guess is the joke. Jokes can get very odd very quickly

But they don't melt normal metals, right? Only solder. Ok, fine, gallium too.

Is there a way to search for whether posts you made were signed by people? Or do I just look at sigs?

[King Zultan]

I don't thing the search function works for sigs, I think your gonna be stuck looking for it.

[Naturegirl1999]

Thanks. Another random question

Have any of you ever had dreams of things you thought happened, only to wake up and find that those things didn’t happen?

[Eschar]

Well, that's exactly what a dream is, right?

Joking aside, yes, I've often woken up in the morning, gotten up, got dressed etc. only to suddenly wake up.

Used to be you could get an 400-degree soldering iron that could melt anything. Then those annoying environmental and health & safety folk made a huge fuss about all these lead fumes leaking into the air and giving people bone cancer or something, gawd, and so now all the solder is some hard-ass tin concoction which you need like 900 degrees to melt.

Even a 400-degree iron will happily burn whatever organic material you'd like, if contact is extended, so if you wanna smoke out your inconvenient brain circuitry you go right ahead.

Well, poisoning the air seems like a thing that should be stopped

We're joking about burning through a portion of our brains by jamming a soldering iron through the side. I'm not sure "be pretty careful", or even "be any amount careful at all", fits with that.

To get rid of the part of the brain that causes pain and muscle cramps when I worry, and also the part that makes me always worry.

Have you...been having dreams that made things happen in the real world?

[Naturegirl1999]

No, did I word that wrong? I mean I’ve been having dreams like reading new posts in the forums and when I wake up the posts aren’t there

That would be the stealth joke, yes. As opposed to the less stealthy one about the inefficiency of soldering irons for cauterization.

Do you mean "is NG prophetic" or something like "is NG a reality warper" or something like "is NG going on murderous rampages in her sleep"?

I assume NG is a she, given the username.

no no no yes
Now that the clarifications are out of the way, sometimes I have dreams about specific conversations that end up happening later, or I start talking and think did I dream this before? however that happens too rarely to be prophetic

And also that I needed to borrow one, instead of borrowing something that would work properly.

I've played Alpha Centauri. I know how nerve stapling is supposed to work.

What are the "cards" called that are sometimes displayed after a TV show, usually just tucked in for a brief moment either before or after the credits and usually displaying stuff about the makers/producers of the show, sometimes with details, jokes and/or running gags that vary between episodes?   

I was sure I used to know this - I thought it was something like a "title card" but that apparently means something different. I guess this is a variation of those (usually) animated logo-type things one generally sees attached by film studios to the beginning of their films, which is incidentally something else I would like to know the proper word for.
