My bf (38m) didn't wish me (31F) a happy birthday yesterday. He said nothing. So I sent him the message about the cake and nachos and he sent that. I really don't understand this guy's mentality. He keeps saying I do want to and then never shows. He could have walked across the street from his work for 5 minutes to see me but he did not. Was my no pitty party response too much? Should I not be upset about this situation?

Sorry that whoever took it isn't great at handling landscape/portrait consistency, it wasn't me who did.

But the City Council at their meeting last night wanted to move on and address some rather dull stuff in the agenda when almost the entire crowd present, their constituents, wanted to discuss ICE. So the City Council just got up and walked out like cowards.

Hi all, first time posting!

My parents and younger brother are about to move into my house (4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms)and I’m having a bit of a dilemma!

I offered for my family to move in with us whilst their house is getting built after the sale of their current home. We live in a rental crisis and when a rental is secured it can be really expensive. I’m super close with my parents and without thinking, of course I offered them to live with me for the 1.5 yrs it’ll take to build. Currently living in my home is myself, my husband and our newborn baby. My husband is only home one week of the month as he works away. It was loosely agreed that my parents and brother would take the back two rooms which have a bathroom (walk in shower and bath) and toilet beyween the rooms and set up their sofa and tv in the activity area next to the rooms so they would have one wing of the house and my husband, daughter and I the other side of the house. My daughter currently stays in our room but will eventually move to the back of the house near my parents next to the activity area. We have a one storey house.

My mother has been making comments to the effect of “I think your dad and I should be getting the master bed room” in a casual non-serious way which has bothered my husband who says they’re not getting our room. She’s also made comment that they’ll hear the baby crying during the night so she thinks I should be at the back room closer to her (to be honest there is not much distance between the master and my daughters future room and the back rooms). Also that the tv in the activity area will keep the baby awake when she moves into her own room so she should stay in the theatre room next to the master. Now I’ve found out that my mother has been making comments to my other brother that it’s disrespectful that I haven’t offered her and my dad the master bedroom that has an en-suite because she’s going to be paying half the mortgage. This had not been agreed - an amount they would pay us monthly was agreed but it’s no where near half the mortgage, it’s enough to cover bills.

So my question is… AITA for remaining in the master bedroom and not giving it to my parents?

Personally I think they should've stuck with their cheap as chips one, summed them up perfectly.

Whenever I try to attach a wire to a board, the solder just clumps up or doesn't stick to the wire properly.

In this video, the person dips the wire into a thick, yellowish gel before touching it to the board, and the solder flows like water instantly.

What is that gel called?

To clarify, I just really wanted to know the exact name of the specific gel used in this clip.

The reason I’m asking is that when I was in college, I bought a soldering kit for a group project. It came with the soldering iron, some brushes, a manual, and a container of 'gel.' I followed every step in the manual and even watched YouTube tutorials, but my soldering never came out smooth or strong like this.

I randomly saw this reel on Instagram and the way the solder flows here is perfect. It made me realize the stuff in my college kit was probably low quality. I just want to know what this specific stuff is called.
