Scuse my ignorance, but why put ‘won’ in quotes? Did he not actually win?

So is it safe to assume this isn’t going to be a free and fair vote?

it’s from the Ukrainian MOD. Take it for what you will.

yeah after doing more research it seems 99% isopropyl is better for what I want to use it for anyway, and that’s what I ordered. So not really looking for this anymore, and yeah someone else pointed out what you did and I admit it was a bad assumption that it was 100% alcohol.

I actually ordered a bottle of 99% isopropyl to give that a try

I think the point that it’s not 100% is fair. It’s just hardware store denatured alcohol and I assumed it was 100% since every other alcohol bottle either says proof or %, which was a mistake on my part regardless of whether it is actually 100% or not. It has always worked better for me than 91% isopropyl though and was the only other thing available.

I don’t… sounds like something I should have had many years ago though.

that’s fair enough. It’s my bad for assuming it was 100%, I just assumed that if it wasn’t 100% it would have said so on the bottle. it’s just denatured alcohol as you would have(in the past) bought from the hardware store.

Thanks, but I was unaware. I was just copying what I’ve seen elsewhere.

We don’t really have electronics stores here anymore. The highest I’ve seen locally is 91%, and while it does kind of clean it off, denatured alcohol has always worked a lot better for me so it’s disappointing to see that it’s gone. I’ll probably just order some online. But still, I’d be interested in knowing why.

Maybe if it is 100%. I have tried 91% and it doesn’t work as well. It needs to be able to clean rosin flux.

yw. I’ll try to post regularly but no guarantees.

I’m not going to waste an hour and a half on what appears to be russia apologetics.

Yeah I agree, but to be fair he does have experience being in the military so I think he has some worthwhile input where his experience is applicable. As far as political analysis and things like that, well… I think the armchair thing is more applicable there.

But you know, just throwing things out there to try to add some content and get some convo started.

Another person I follow is ryan mcbeth, who has argued that the kakhovka dam was not deliberately blown up - and I think he makes some good points. But idk if that necessarily means that the dam was not deliberately blown. Even so, I still think he gives something good to think about. Plus he makes other good points like, even if the russians didn’t deliberately blow the dam, they’re still responsible b/c it has been under their watch for many months now.
