Fixed the (handmedown) Switch controller that got dropped. Cents worth of solder & super glue. Works and can still be disassembled.

The iron was bought but it gets used just enough to justify a nice one.

Douglas Adams / Hitchhikers guide references.

HIGHLY recommended.

Yeah… first I thought it was hydraulic fluid.

I really like the naming of things after their discoverers/inventors. I'm picturing a mathematician getting upset:

"How dare you speak about Friedrich Gauss like that. He dragged that universities astronomy department out of the stone age, even after the death of his first wife..."

True but...

What is it called when one company buys all the other ones & charges extortionate prices? Maybe with a sprinkle of selling lots of brands with the same crap inside?

I can only think of "late stage capitalism" but there must be a more technically correct name for it.

Edit: how can I forget the word monopoly? What is wrong with me? ?

Same but with Jerboa
