Hold up, sour doesn't always mean bad beans. A light roast done right has a bright, fruity acidity that's totally intentional. That "dead giveaway" might just be someone who prefers dark roast trying a different style.

Honestly, that sounds like a lucky find and not the real problem. A single grain usually gets vaporized on power-up and wouldn't cause a persistent short. You probably fixed it by reseating the board and the solder was just sitting there. For cleaning under chips, a good flux wash and some high percentage isopropyl alcohol with a soft brush is all you really need.

That's just the web crawlers, not actual people.

Seriously, it's just t-shirts. Gloss looks cheap to me in most light, but if the softball guys like how it looks on the field, then you picked right. I doubt anyone off the field is staring that hard at the finish anyway.

Talked to a janitor at the old Valley View Cinema for an hour once. He said he misses the smell of popcorn more than the people. I just went in to use the bathroom.
