inUnpopular opinion: I totally wrecked a phone board with too much heat but now my solder joints are perfect.
Not even close, @elliotraminez, my first attempt cost me a motherboard.

inBorrowed a neighbor's clamp for a deck board
Back in my last apartment complex, we had a community ladder that everyone used. @lee459, your system sounds even better with all those tools getting passed around. I was always the guy borrowing stuff too, and my apologies were pretty much a weekly thing. It really does build trust when people don't get mad about sawdust or broken bits. Honestly, more neighborhoods should try this instead of everyone buying their own junk.

inPSA: My vintage medical tool collection isn't as creepy as people make it out to be
Yeah I have to admit, I totally used to be one of those people who would side eye a collection like that. Just seemed macabre for the sake of it. Then a friend dragged me to this tiny medical history museum out of state, and it was a real shift. Seeing the tools laid out with their explanations, you stop thinking about the pain and start seeing the problem solving, the sheer ingenuity it took to try and help people with what they had. Now I get it. Your cousin doesn't know what they're missing.

inI set up a digital art loop in my den and it played my doodles by mistake
So much for a classy art exhibit, right? The pizza with legs is clearly the main attraction now.
