You would think it would make me feel better to know that every person has intrusive thoughts. But it doesn’t at all, quite the opposite.

Yall are as crazy as I am, we are doomed.

    I can’t picture what you’re talking about at all with regards to how you burn yourself. I’ve been soldering small wires and components (RC car hobbyist) for years and never burned myself.

      I’ve been soldering CNC machines and such, all I do is I wear a left hand welding glove. I can literally solder on my finger, or hold the wire right next to it. Probably a stupid thing to do, but well - I’m self learned :d

      Imagine the last part of the solder wire. Not much is left, but you want to use as much as you can, so you feed it anyway even though that last little part makes your finger come dangerously close to the iron.

      Usually you just scrap the last part, but OP made a lot of small wires all along the roll, so either you scrap a lot, or burn your fingers trying to use up as much as you can.

          Good thinking. In my field we don’t do that. It takes more effort than you’d get out of it by that point. I just get a new roll. But if you’re in a pinch and on your last roll, this is a great idea!
