Epic WTF

Found that same article. Reads like something out of The Onion, outdated slang and all. But what doesn’t these days?

How did I forget those?!

Oh yeah, because I wasn't born 200 years ago.

Rods, roods, acres, etc.

I always forget how much a Stone weighs. Would prefer to just give my weight in a single unit, whether kg or lb.

have we had Smootsyet?

It's pretty simple. 14 pounds in a stone, 16 ounces in a pound.

Cheers, I’ll try to remember. Gets tricky when going from kg to st + lb + oz on the fly, which seems to happen often.

Fire up GTA and kill some cops with some cops.

Wait. It not called the Wizard of Ounce?

Damnit.

Is that Dammit in imperial units?

Wait. It not called the Wizard of Ounce?

So this is an antenna...

What the holy fuck is that supposed to do?!

Edit; I think that isn't an antenna. I think that's just an example of "aerial" wire soldering of a BGA socket.

Oh, that makes sense. Well, I mean, just a little sense. A very little sense. I guess somebody ran out of space on their PCB and just winged it.

BGA stuff is usually soldered on by robots laying blobs of solder, placing the chip on and then baking the thing in an oven to melt the solder.

This looks like something needed to be removed/replaced, in which case you can't use the same process to refit the chip, so they had to solder on individual mini fly-leads.

Must have been a very good reason to go to this much trouble rather than replacing it.

All the copper thread is bare, won’t everything just short circuit?

I very much doubt it's bare copper, probably just orange wire.
