Impressive! How was it soldered. It looks single sided so hot plate? I built a small PID controlled PTC hotplate which works. Have not tried much larger than what you show so far with it.

It works better than the attempts with a hot air rework station did. I'm slowly moving over to SMD since the older stuff is becoming hard to get and forget microcontrollers and microprocessors.

And fun to sprinkle from the box on the Christmas tree as snow. Imagine snow on a tree in S Florida! Luckily we were Jewish so only the neighbors got to do that.

But you don't understand the logic behind their madness For instance Zuckerberg whose name translates to sugar mountain is the origin for the tale of Big Rock Candy mountains.

One pines for the drop of sweat that the Zuck might drop.In the hope that this tiny morsel of liquid goodness might propel their own fortunes to not flop.

Cause in the Big Rock candy mountains,
All the ICE agents got wooden legs.
And The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again
As soon as you are in

So be grateful for the future goodness this will cause for all as the trinkle down happens.

They did that to me with a spinal injection to lower inflammation. After it was discovered during one of the required before they do anything else therapy sessions that turning my head to the left and tilting my head forwards caused instant lost of control and sensation in my left arm. I asked what was in it and was told a painkiller and it helped with the pain and lowered inflammation. No mention of a steroid even when I asked and told them I do not react well to them.
It did a little bit but wow did it jack my readings up! Armed with the actual treatment found it was loaded with Corticosteroids. So I refused further treatments and eventually had to have 2 vertebra fused.

Which is why the nerb can't turn his head far to the left while driving. So I ended up buying a vehicle with lane warnings and other nag features.

It was a vehicle accident that cause the problem. A lady t-boned me when she ran a stop sign Noticed a couple years later that spot now has a traffic light.

@futurebird If only we had the option to click an option for the other word used for those unable to speak. Mute.

Avoiding them as much as possible but they are popping up in everything. Even duckduckgo enshittified.

I have covid 19, fully vaxed . Being over 70 with T1 and crohns and having had previous heart damage due to covid they put me on Paxlovid and 10mg prednisolone. Two pills in am, 1 for lunch and dinner and 2 at night for 60 mg.

Guess whose cgm keeps alarming with sky high readings. Figure its a combination of being sick with covid and the steroid. All the other seem seems to do is a bitter metallic taste.

As well as a lighter wallet. The free or lowered cost for covid medications is gone so my cost with insurance was almost $500. But the doctor said I'm high risk so.......

Yesterday and today had the extremely sore throat symptom so its the latest variant. Blood sugar did go crazy. I have had the CGM alarm multiple times including at 2am last night.

I hope they do not bring back crawl under your desk and curl up into a ball with your hands over your head, . I was 10 when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened and lived near Homestead AFB in S Florida.
So I was old enough to snicker at the ending we kids added to it of " And kiss your ass goodbye."

My first house up in Miami Gardens was build in the 1950's and sold as able to withstand a nuke hitting Homestead AFB according to the stuff we found while fixing it up. I remember the phone guy asking what the heck is in these walls when he drilled the hole to put the wire in. They were about 2 foot thick poured concrete. Was like this one.

That was an interesting neighborhood. Remember one morning as I left for work a car on fire about 4 houses down from me. Found out that night there had been two bodies in the trunk. Part of the cocaine war that was going on.

Edit an interesting book from that time.
