So is it literally a replacement, or an entirely different device?

The fumes are from the flux, if you're evaporating lead your iron is a few thousand degrees too high.

Still shouldn't breathe that, but that's also true for lead-free solder

You're living in a bubble. Most gamers don't know and don't care about it

Yeah, but that's hundreds of years ago and they're a staple food now. Unlike Jicamas, where I had to Google what that even is.

So, linguistically not really comparable

But these aren't found in Western Europe

Was it ever intended or fit for that? It's 2.5 years old, where modern games 2.5 years ago that much less demanding than modern games today?

As a christian, that's how I like to read it too.

The same worries exist here too though. The blood bank isn't allowed to pay you for your plasma, but it's absolutely a for-profit organisation that runs on selling your plasma to pharmaceutical companies.

I still believe it's a good thing to donate, but sometimes it feels a little icky that there's also a businessmodel around it

IR bottom heaters are usually not strong enough for reballing. They're for boards that are hard to solder, because there's a lot of copper or a heatsink for example.

The bottom heater preheats the whole board, not to soldering temperatures but enough to make soldering a lot easier.

For weather prediction it usually isn't that accurate anyway, and varies over time and location a lot.

For the thermostat it does matter, but usually you can set these in steps of 0.5°C. Mine reports back in 0.1°C steps.

A pool ball has a radius of 30 mm roughly, so 2% of that is 0.6mm. Seems like a very thin coat of paint to me, but roughly correct.

What's the point of espionage if you can't even gossip
