      Anyone have a good soldering iron + stand recommendation? I try to stick with 50w+

      If you haven't already found one, I picked my last one up via Adafruit... Whiiiich has been discontinued

      Aye, get one with some balls, no 15w waiting forever garbage.

      I have 2: a 30W that is too weak for just about everything (waiting game) and a 60W which is just about perfect. I usually use it on smaller wires (18-22 AWG) and I haven't had things melting on me, nor have I had to wait long to solder.

      50-60w is usually the sweet spot for sure. Any recommendations?

      knock off wellers - they're all over Amazon. See if you can get one with adjustable temp + bonus if it comes with extra tips etc + bonus if tips are weller compatible

      something like this, but MOAR powaahhh

        I could actually use a good desoldering pump too now that I think about it.

          Desoldering pumps are nice, but I've never found one that will entirely clear away all the solder. They do a great job of clearing the majority of it away so you don't have to use as much of the expensive solder wick.

            A proper soldering tool. Although I preferred my Zippo

                Haven't seen any homeless in Rome, but Vatican City is covered with them.

                          This is fairly common. There are some small/organizations that will take them in to increase the population in their favor. A religious organization in Utah (not the obvious one) was famous for it.

                            Thinking of how she's gets into this like a caterpillar crawling through a hollow log...

                            No zippers or buttons. So you know she's doing some goofy ass maneuvering to get into this dress..

                              Buttons are probably under the flaps.

                                @thanksajdotcom It was an immediate thought as I saw her walking out to the parade room that she's sitting in now.

                                          Ugh. I took a nap yesterday early in the afternoon (like 1:00 PM) for 2 hours and for some reason it gave me a ton of energy. I couldn't fall asleep until around 1:00 AM.
