Having trees taken down is expensive A F There are easier options like renting but the point still stands, it should've been done a long time ago even if it's expensive. It's not a matter of how peaceful or relaxing the environment is, it's about basic safety because trees fall randomly all the …

mhm all we are suggesting is that for 10 bucks and perhaps an hour of your time you could possibly get another 20 out of it, naturally the choice is yours. He is right though, replacing caps on multilayer boards is not nearly as easy as some people make it out to be. It's a huge pita with only …

Sometimes this hobby pisses me off so much that I have to fight the urge to rent a huge trash container and get rid of it all.
