it’s for resisting peer pressure

Sure, it always just starts with "I'll just solder a few resistors here; what's the problem?", but before you know it your kid is gonna be out there giving acid baths to PCBs.

Found his kit, please help:

The one time my mom sat me down and had a talk about the thermal compound syringe she found while cleaning...

Heroine like the wonder woman? GO SON! I'd do her too

All this is a gateway drug to

    5V-|   |       |   |-3V3
   GND-|   |       |   |-IO16
  IO12-|   |_______|   |-IO0
  IO13-|               |-GND
  IO15-|               |-VCC
  IO14-|               |-UDR
   IO2-|   ESP32-CAM   |-UDT
   IO4-|_______________|-GND

Is that a reference to interest in electronics being a gateway drug to gender transition?

My relatives (I lived with them for a few years) found my leftover pipettes and stirring rods from my chemistry classes in my room and they genuinely thought I was doing drugs. One of them harassed me over it and another told me that she's always open if I need to talk about it. But whenever I try explaining that it's for school she brushes me off lmao

Worse, he is "soldering"

Not ragging on anyone for ignorance, never will, but it's a little weird how many people are asking what these are, especially in such a nerdy community.

I guess she encountered a lot of resistance from all those!

Resistance is futile

Yes, he is. But these are just resistors.

What is it actually?

Gonna be a bit hard to push heroin through those. Lotta resistsnce.

Can't really tell for sure from the picture but it looks like the purest shit (at worse 5%, possibly even 2%) rather than the run of the mill 10% stuff.

Agreed. Super annoying when people ask questions without a question mark.

What's this really?

Worse, he's picked up a nasty through-hole habit.

Next thing you know your room is at perfect temperature all year round with just a few lines of micro python and he keeps a pocket scope under his pillow.
