The antišŸš«-derailmentšŸšƒ & threadšŸ§µ hijackingšŸ”« threadšŸ§µ ā‰

A post was merged into an existing topic: Install Videos and Pictures

I finally finished reading this entire thread. This community has impressed me with the different kinds of civil and well thought out discussions.

I showed my sisters boyfriend my implants (which i had installed about 6 days ago) he seemed intrigued but also a little bit disgusted when he poked my spark 2 :smile:

Thatā€™s quite the Herculean effort

Hereā€™s your next assignment.

Even though it is only around 25% the size, it takes a lot longer to read, ( I did for me any way, because I had to read, then re-read some of the posts multiple times, trying to decode/ interpret/ understand what was being said )

Itā€™s like reading ā€œBartleby, the Scrivenerā€ by Herman Melville

Itā€™s not an easy read

I do feel sorry for them, and it would be a horrible way to go through life.

Herculean effort or not. That thread isā€¦ difficult to read. I think Iā€™d rather re-watch the first presidential debate of this year.

Iā€™d rather re-read the crazy thread. In both cases, you learn about mentally deranged people, but at least the crazy thread doesnā€™t make you sick in your stomach.

Want a hard read? Try Feersum Endjinn by Iain M. Bank. Itā€™s an excellent SF book - like all of Iain M. Bankā€™s books - but itā€™s mostly written phonetically. Itā€™s maddening because you really want to finish it, but it makes you eyes bleed.

Have you ever thought about becoming a publicist?

Got a little update again - this pic is from last night, when my scarification hit its 2-week-anniversary :wink:

Iā€™m very glad I donā€™t have to tape anything over it any more, my skin got properly annoyed by that (as you can clearly see on my shoulders and collarbones on that pic). Iā€™m irritating the scars for one week now, and they are slightly itchy and feel a tiny bit painful when I stretch them (best example - Iā€™m usually sleeping on my side, and everytime I turn I feel some sort of ā€œstretchingā€ pain when my chest is straight before arriving on my other side^^).
Other than that, Iā€™m feeling fine - the scars are still hypotrophic (sunken down, in a way), but the insides of the little circles are standing out, which gives it quite a funny feeling when I run over them with my fingers. Just love it, and I canā€™t wait for the complete 3D-effect that baby will have in some time :smiley:

It is looking stunning, the first thing my eyes went to where the little circles, I donā€™t think I have the will power for scarification XD I am a mindless picker of scabs

Damn thatā€™s looking awesome!
The circuit traces combined with your chip implants and power button give off some mad TRON vibes

Same here (trying to get rid of that bad habitā€¦), but thatā€™s no problem - no scabs at all, because it had to heal under the wrap for the first two weeks :wink:

That was the plan :wink: It just feels a lot like ā€œmeā€, in a way - I can not really explain what it ā€œmeansā€, itā€™s just as if my artist captured my soul in his design.

This is what Iā€™m excited for. As much as I fiddle with my implants under the skin I can see my self rubbing over the scarring when I get nervous already :smile:

@amal maybe a weird ask, but do you have the dangerous nfc test card gerber files? Iā€™m looking into getting some test/nfc business cards made and thought Iā€™d ask!

I kinda doubt heā€™s going to disclose the gerbers and BOM for the diagnostic card, and that wouldnā€™t really help you much in designing your own anyway. I can help you design your own using the same techniques I used to design the NTAG I2C Plus test card on the store, though.

A great place to start would be the Inductance Calculator I posted. Once you have that working youā€™ll need to find an NFC chip or an LED that you want to put on the card and find itā€™s ā€œinput capacitanceā€. Then you can use an LC resonant tank circuit calculator like this one to calculate what Inductance your trace antenna will need to have in order to resonate at 13.56MHz with that input capacitance. Then you can use the Inductance calculator to calculate a coil dimension that results in the Inductance you need (guessing and checking until it matches). Then you can lay everything out on a PCB, and put an extra capacitor footprint in parallel with your NFC chip or LED in order to tune it later (in case your antenna Inductance is a bit off). Then you should be good.

Got the chip cleaned up and soaking in 2% Chlorhexidine w/V with 70% Isopropyl. Gonna sit in here until after I get my tattoos, and a new injector, that I need to order soon.

Will install this, and the OG Spark at the same time.

If I post self installs to pornhub, will I get ad revenue? :laughing:

Just make sure to push it in ā€¦ Slowly.

I am sure there is a subset of people who really doā€¦ enjoyā€¦ watching that stuff.

Maybe I should see about doing it on pornhub live? Twitch and take donations? Use PMK and play the pain up like it is the worst.
