I need help making a cable
« on: Tue, 15 February 2022, 21:09:17 »
I bought some techflex and some paracord so that i can try and make a custom cable. I already sleeved it and soldered the parts in place but the coils don't feel tight. I used a heat gun and it didn't work and I'm wondering if I can just use the oven and if so, how hot should it be? and for how much time should I leave it in there?

Personally, I hate coiled cables, but here is the thread:

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
