I want them suffering in medical agony and starvation until death finally gets around to them.
Why should it prompt backlash? Did they celebrate the win by knocking over their opponent's king with their cock?
These pearl clutchers make me want to force said pearls down their throat until they shit out every single bead or I can grab one end of the necklace and rip it out like a fucking BeyBlade!
Jesus, this isn't a slight against you OP but as an electronics engineer I feel I need to have a rant about the shoddy design here:
First of all, I have no idea what that component is dangling off the burnt-out through-hole resistor is or why it's there.
Surely it can't be a part of the temperature control loop, so I would guess it's a thermal fuse to shut off the blanket if that resistor burns because it handles power to the heating element.
If so, what THE FUCK were the designers thinking?! Couldn't afford even a small power resistor with a heatsink and a cheap thermocouple to a temp sense IC?!
Nah it'll be ok, either it burns out the resistor and the customer is not injured or the customer's house burns down. Either way no deaths, just complaints about our shitty build quality.
Second, they're using WAY too much solder for these surface mounts components.
And third, why has R16 shifted from it's pad? Bad soldering job from too much solder? Bad placement from the PNP machine? Or, god forbid, something gets hot enough to cause the solder under that resistor to start melting?
It's genuinely shocking the amount of stuff that's just being allowed to be sold these days.
If you can't get the blanket repaired OP, please consider sending this to Big Clive as he'd have a field day with this.
A bit of context for you:
U1 is a reference for the PCB designer and assembler (if soldered by hand).
The information you need to find a replacement is the etched text on top of the IC (Integrated circuit, a.k.a "chip").
If you're able to read that, put the whole thing into Google or Octopart or your electronics component supplier of choice (Mouser, DigiKey, Farnell, etc). and you should find the IC you need.
we're still not remotely close of a universal wealth tax
No, but this is a step towards it.
It's unlikely it will happen someday, especially in the current political context.
My brother in Christ, YOU and EVERYONE around you has the power to shift the political context.
And that doesn't mean shifting it overnight. It will take actual effort from you, not just whinging online to other apathetic souls having an "all is lost" collective wank.
You'll have to speak with friends, family, coworkers, random strangers at the bar, and anyone and everyone who'll engage with you about wealth inequality and taxing wealth not work. That's the bare minimum.
Next is organising in your community or at least going to meetings and marches.
Finally you have to more actively engage with political people as an activist.
I'll be the first to admit that I only do the first one, but it sounds like you're not even doing that.
So either start doing that with me and everyone else here, or sit down, shut up, and go back to sucking your thumb and crying in your corner of the internet.

As someone who is likely on the spectrum, it was like someone gifted me a user guide for life where other self-help books have either leaned a lot on the emotions of things or tried to cram all sorts of philosophy down my throat.
Lot's of common sense ideas around how to turn what, where, and who you want to be into actually achievable goals and genuinely helped me figure out who I want to be for myself and not for other people.
I wouldn't say it has any groundbreaking or radical ideas in it, but the structure and presentation of the simple ideas really helped me work out some life things for myself.
The Carthaginian's thought I was daft to build a Navy, but I built it all the same just to show 'em... It sank in a storm.
So I built a second one... That sank in a storm.
So I built a third one... That got lost, was militarily defeated, and then sank in a storm, but the fourth one was victorious!
I'm still learning about electrical assets for work reasons but I have quite a few pictures so I thought a Lemmy community would be a good place to visually learn about this infrastructure and how it exists in the world.
This has been shining in my eyes for the last 10 minutes whilst the bus driver takes a break.
This isn't your mother's cottage pie, this is an epic two and a half hour culinary quest to conjure the most tastiest comfort humanity has discovered so far.
The pie is layered with beef or veggie mince, then crispy onions soaked with garlic, tomato, and chilli puree, butter soaked mixed vegetables, slathered in a vegetable and red wine gravy, and topped with a cheesy and creamy smooth potato and carrot mash.
My aunt and uncle now lie in a food coma whilst I have shed a single solitary manly tear as I fear this might be my peak, though I will never stop climbing to greater heights of taste!
