Fire retardant foam probably.

Shat next to a deaf guy once. Really made me think about the world.
- Comment on What's the craziest or funniest Wikipedia outline you've seen? 5 months ago:
It’s not really something I look for or pay attention to when I see it. It’s something fun to keep an eye out for from now on though.

Should be a cool breeze, relatively speaking.
- Comment on What's this thing called? 8 months ago:
If I’m repairing something like my washing machine I usually just hardwire stuff to the board so there’s no waiting for parts. Shopping around for connectors can be a pain but the important things to look are are pin diameter and pin pitch. Whenever I order I always get a male and female connector because the terminology doesn’t seem to be consistent across connector designs. You’ll also need a pinning tool for whatever style of connector you get, unless it uses solder cups or something.

The heart attack gun of songs.
- Comment on How do I learn about DIY modern electronics? 10 months ago:
I had a lot of fun picking up cheap electronics from Goodwill or similar stores and Frankensteining shit together. If it didn’t work I’d use that as a point to start research. Was it efficient? Probably not. Do I have a pile of furby guts? Yes, yes I do. You might have to go through several tutorials on a subject until you find someone explains it in a way that makes sense to you, don’t let it frustrate you. Good luck!

The Tufted Shitdick is more suited to a temperate climate but are occasionally spotted as far south as the equator.
- Comment on Is there any use of an end-of-life LED lightbulb? 1 year ago:
What you have there is a goofy-ass fluorescent bulb. The tube itself is probably junk, looks like the cathode has sputtered away quite a bit, but please dispose of it properly because it contains mercury. That being said, there probably a step up transformer in there, some current regulating circuitry, and maybe a couple other goodies in there.
