#IStandWithAhmed (or Inventing While Muslim is a thing?)

[Arctish]

We know for a fact that the English teacher thought it looked like a bomb when she confiscated it.

*beep*beep*beep*
"Who is making that noise?"
"Sorry, ma'am."
<teacher looks at device in backpack>
"Young man, you put that bomb on my desk this instant and return to your seat! There will be no further disruptions in my classroom, is that understood?"
"Yes, ma'am".


The teacher didn't think it was a bomb. She did not report a bomb in her classroom, the school was not evacuated, and the bomb squad was not called in to deal with the device.

Apparently she thought it was something that violated school policy, but we haven't heard from her what policy she was thinking about. She might have been thinking about a "no weapons or dangerous items in school" policy, or she might have been thinking about a policy that all electronic devices must be kept in lockers until the end of the day. She might have suspected shenanigans were imminent, and called the Principal to warn him.

She might be sensible and responsible educator, or she might be a rabid bigot who sees little budding terrorists whenever she looks at Muslim children. Or she might be a completely different personality type. We don't know because we haven't heard her story yet.)

Here in a nut shell is the clock boy hoax.

http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/092215-772291-did-muslim-clock-boy-perpetrate-hoax.htm

Interesting article.

Headline: Did Muslim Clock Boy Perpetrate A Hoax?

First word in the body of text: "Security" bolded and highlighted. The rest of the first paragraph contains two lies and the allegation that the story was 'invented'. And then it gets wackier. The author suggests Ahmed brought his clock to school to muster sympathy for Muslims accused of terrorism, to put the police on their heels, and undermine the "see something, say something" directive for citizen vigilance (not bad for a 14 year old criminal mastermind; perhaps he's developing psychic powers).

Then comes the bullet point bullshit, starting with "there was no school project or science assignment to justify Mohamed bringing the device to school", as if that matters. Then there's the rest of the list, riddled with lies and errors, but making doubly sure the reader knows the story is about a Muslim kid by highlighting it twice more and also mentioning the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Saudi Arabia.

The conclusion: curse you, Obama!

But the brat and his politico muslim father are now trying to scam 15 million from Western suckers who fall for the muslim victim card every time.

Clockboy is all over the map when it comes to discussing what he actually did. In this video, he says he's an inventor, and his most recent invention is a clock that he built from scraps he found around the house. In another video I posted, he says it took him 10 to 20 minutes to build. That he could "invent" a clock in 10 to 20 minutes from scraps that he found around the house is just 100% flat out crap. There is absolutely no doubt that he just dumped some clock guts inside a pencil case.

I am not convinced that he merely took a clock and dumped the whole thing into a case and that is all. I've read the conservative websites that claim this but have you actually tried to be critical of what you were reading? Have you tried to reproduce the zoomed in photo? Have you looked at specs of the alleged 70's (or is it 1986) product? Did it include everything in the zoomed-in photo that you zoomed into? For example, is there really a battery in the original specifications for the alleged clock?

Of course you are not convinced. You have never soldered anything in your life.
I am not a conservative by any stretch of imagination but I have been soldering since I was 7-8, and I can tell you with authority, that thing had no modifications or work done whatsoever and the kid himself is an idiot.

I have but why are you certain he alleges he did? Do you have some evidence?

So since you have responded to my post with responding to any of the points, I will ask you about the battery. Did he add the battery or not?

Also, did you confirm anything from the photo about a manufacturer? Anything at all?

Read the fucking thread, You keep asking questions which have been answered long time ago

Me specifically? no and I have no need for that. Because I could see that it was factory manufactured within seconds after opening that picture
It is an established fact that he did not do anything at all, Fucking kid admitted that himself by saying it took 20 minutes to screw it into the case.

I used to build Hi Fi speakers. I've always hard wired the crossovers after choosing the components and drivers, which were also hard wired.

So after not answering my questions you displayed over-confidence and now that I ask you again, you display rudeness but no answers.

Here is a picture of Ahmed soldering something to a manufactured circuit board (or maybe he is just testing something):

BUT just because the vast majority of it may be soldered from a manufactured product, it does not mean that some small part is not, like for example the battery portion. Or just more generally taking some major parts and connecting them together which may or may not require soldering but could still be done in 20 minutes.

In fact, if the majority of the product was soldered using machines that is completely consistent with what Ahmed said.

So here's a picture of the clock:

You don't have a slightest clue, do you?
I saw that video, this idiot is not soldering anything in it, he is just sticking his stupid soldering iron which is not even hot to it.
You can't solder anything with that iron on that PCB. And it would have no sense anyway. It's a factory made PCB with surface mounted components which nobody touches unless they designed the damn thing themselves. You throw it away if it does not work, the most you can do is to replace electrolytic caps if they failed.

Battery backup is a standard part of these clocks. Any extra soldering would have been clearly visible especially if it is 14 year old.

I have a closet full of that shit, you are not gonna impress me with it.

Not always. My husband occasionally solders motherboards to fix broken power ports or blown capacitors, usually for other people who dropped their laptops or had some small component fail. It's a pain in the ass because the solder points are tiny, but it can be done.

The only thing which could fail and can be fixed is electrolytic capacitors (and I mentioned it already). The rest does not fail or if it does then can not be easily fixed. And again, I saw that particular video, he is not soldering anything he is using it as a pointer and points to that big chip for some reasons. That board which looks like it is from old CD changer is a useless junk which can not be used for anything, you can salvage few discrete components and that's it.
This kid is a weirdo, he appears to be fascinated with electronics "porn" but this fascination is just all he has, he does not do anything meaningful with it. I mean when I was 6-7 I was fascinated with electronics too and by the age of 10 I was doing meaningful stuff, what this 14 year old does is bullshit.

????

The Republicans field one deluded Christian after another. Look at them all. Carson, Cruz, Huckabee, Rubio.

Republicans love deluded Christians like GW Bush who invade other nations because his Christian god told him to.

The insane thing about Republicans, among many insane things, is they love deluded Christians but hate deluded Muslims and somehow see a difference between the two.

I didn't say it was easy. I said it was a pain in the ass. But it can be done, and sometimes it's worth the effort to fix a printed circuit board rather than buy a new one.

Whether or not it's easy is not very relevant.
What is relevant is that it is utterly pointless and this "genius" is not soldering anything on that picture.

His "interest" in electronics is weird, and I explained why it is weird. He is collecting electronic junk without doing anything with it.

It's not pointless. It's thrifty. It's what people who like electronics work do when the cost of replacing something is high and the cost of fixing it is negligible. It can be frustrating. It can take a fair amount of time. But a repaired PCB can work just as well as a new one, so why spend money needlessly?

I think you took this stance because you're looking for excuses to disparage the kid, not because you can't imagine why someone would take a soldering tool to a PCB.

He built a pencil case clock with some of it, remember?
