inVent: I used to think a 30 watt iron was fine for everything
Wait, isn't wattage less important than actual tip temperature control? My old high-watt pencil iron would overheat everything. The new station lets me set it to like 700F for big ground planes, which is what really matters for modern boards.

inPSA: My old way of hanging beef sides was costing me time and money
My uncle in Montana taught me to use a single heavy duty hook with a proper knot. He's hung dozens of quarters that way over 30 years without a single drop. I get why your buddy xena642 went to double hooks after a mess like that, but I believe that one solid hook, set right, is actually more secure. Doubling up can sometimes pull against itself and weaken the hold. It's all about trusting your gear and your setup.

inAm I the only one who used to skip the 'Previously On' recaps?
Skipping the recap on a show like Dark is basically asking to be lost. That show makes a soap opera look simple. The recaps are a public service, a tiny anchor in the sea of time travel and family trees. I used to skip them too, until I realized I had no idea which Jonas was which.
