pretty much retired cause I can't find a job. instead I spend a tonne of time volunteering to build communities - RFS, local sport, unhinged internet moderator - while I work restoring some land back to it's proper, natural state

don't spose any #electronics nerds have some guidance on how I can repair this bare wire leading into a charger? I can't reconnect it internally as it's been filled with silicon (or similar)

I was thinking I could use some silicon to cover it back up, but not sure if that's suitable

A NASA astronaut has captured an electrifying image of Earth from space, featuring a gigantic, jellyfish-shaped "sprite" of red lightning shooting upwards above a thunderstorm in North America. The rare phenomenon is still poorly understood, despite being studied for more than 30 years.

went to do a price match at #bunnings for an exact item that was on sale elsewhere

was told that they won't do it because it goes against their policy, which states it "excludes trade quotes, stock liquidations, commercial quantities, and items sold by other *Bunnings Group businesses and Bunnings Marketplace"
