I once put an entire watermelon under the wipers on my friends car like a parking ticket when I knew they had a rough day at work. They like watermelon.
To be fair, I tend to they/them even cis people unless I know them and know what they prefer. Better to assume neutral rather than one way or the other.
All children must now be locked alone in a windowless room and fed via robot until the age of 16 for their own safety. /s if that isn't obvious. But seriously I thought US conservitives were draconian.
Try talking directly with a surgeon. Doctors can be hesitant about fairly invasive surgeries like that, but surgeons almost always want to cut.
It's a vastly different situation but I had to do something similar for a carpal tunnel release. Doctors danced around the issue for years giving me braces, stretches, and work notes. But one call with an orthopedic surgeon and I was in for a consult within the week and surgery a couple months later.
I work in an electronics plant and the optical scopes we use there are super nice. Back when I was an inspector I regularly used them to hand solder stuff as small as 0201 LEDs. I'll grab a pic and a model number on monday when I go back in. The ones we use are ancient at this point (I wanna say they were purchased in the 90s) so you could probably find that exact model second hand for super cheap.
I agree on the digital scopes too. They can be nice just for inspection, but when it comes to actual rework they're basically unusable. We don't use them at all, of course that's mainly because all of our non rework inspection is done using AOIs. If you frequently have to hand inspect small quantities without doing rework then maybe a digital scope would still be worthwhile.
Update: So I can't post pics because I forgot we have our company logo on the asset tags on all the scopes and I don't feel like doxing myself too much. But the scopes are the Meiji EMZ-5 model. Unfortunately it looks like that model still goes for $500 used at the bare minimum goes for around $2000-$3000 new. I figured they would be way cheaper than that considering how old they are but I guess not. For lighting we use Scienscope IL-LED-R2. Apparently those are also not cheap but they do work pretty well.
Sure, go take whatever lawyer you can afford and go up against a multi billion dollar corporation in a court system that heavily favors that corporation. I'm sure it wouldn't result in you getting nothing plus also being bankrupted by court costs.
I did make some mistakes but it doesn't seem like I made that many. Maybe I made more than I realize but it felt like my error rate was about the same throughout the test. I made one mistake in the initial group with no distractions and it felt like I made about 1 mistake in every set where it stepped up the distractions.
Either way I guess I'll just need to impatiently await the results.
My goto is usually rock auto. Other places can be cheaper but nowhere else has everything in on place. If I need something quickly then I just go to my local parts shop.
