Labour conditions shouldn't need regulation, we should just recognise another being's suffering.

Though if we are going to have governments, they might as well do something useful.

I'm sorry I can't hear you over the sound of the bridges I'm burning.

Actually, we had one. Only people with enough time and energy to use it was management. Pool table too, which got slightly more play on account of it being slower paced.

My point is, for about the cost of an easy solution (that, frankly is a lot harder to undo if done wrong) you could equip them to do it right, practice the skill you want to inspire and not plant the false idea that soldering is some difficult thing that the beginner should avoid.

There is no amount of money my last job could have paid me to stay once I made up my mind to leave. If it is about money it means you have been drastically underpaying them.

You can get conductive adhesives but it would probably be cheaper to just include a soldering iron in the kit... I'm not sure I would be confident in getting good contact with self adhesive metal tape, your best option there is to probably get a small amount and experiment.

Intended purpose? Probably to be sold to people who don't know about modern USB specs.

Actual use case? Monopole antenna?

Retro is I find something you are just too young to have have experienced directly. It is your older brother's cool. Yours is nostalgic; your parent's, vintage.

Could be worse, could have nailed it.

This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.
