What are you drinking??

scrap the amc's and use something better (not sure if thats possible for the application though)

For what I'm working on, AMC7135s are the best choice I've been able to find. They work alright, they just have a really crappy lead-frame that is ridiculously easy to damage.

And I thought that I was the only oneā€¦ forget clean rework/salvage on those little goomersā€¦ particularly if you soldered the tab.

Two Buck Chuck 2011 California Chardonnay. For non wine aficionados, this is the affectionate name for Charles Shaw wines, available at Trader Joeā€™s. It used to cost $1.99 for 750ml.

The current price is $2.99, but itā€™s hard to lose the two buck chuck moniker.

Lambs navy rum out of the freezer and cherry coke with a piece of lime. Iā€™m lying itā€™s just the rum iā€™m not a ponce.

Jack and coke :wink:

Nope, you're definitely not the only one. The lead-frame is made out of rice-plastic and pot metal, I think. The ONLY way I've been successful at rework is using hot-air..

Nope rice plastic and pot metal is MUCH stronger and less brittleā€¦ |(

on some shochu 900ml rated at 20%ā€¦

Sure thing Tom. You're more than welcome here. BTW, I love Black Russians :)

Lots of water, having overdone it big time last night with some Italian chillies the effect of which on my internal system can best be described as thermonuclear.

I am drinking lots of water! Especially in this heat it is important to stay hydrated.

It is rare now I even drink white peony tea, because of the caffeine.

My first ever original pilsner :)

Still a little early, but looking forward to our mainstay fizzy wine, RSVP by TJ. 6 bucks! Woo. (If youā€™re a liker of fizz, you owe it to yourself to try this stuff ā€” it punches way above its weight.)

Coffee, blackā€¦

Coffee. One Cream. No sugar (ick!).

Nitro Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing Co. Yummy :smiley:

Tropical fruit smoothie. Itā€™s lovely with some Archerā€™s too.

EDIT:

and

Them mint grows like weeds. Those bastards, put them in your garden and they'll take over the whole lot!
