I now only have 6/10 in the bad eye ( had that since I was born), and now the good eye is only 25/20, and I am losing focus ability at close distances. When I was young the good eye was better than 30/20. I miss being able to read a 3 point component number at a glance, now I have to pick it up and grab one of the old camera lens assemblies I keep around to read it.

content: I'm 18 on the 19th (I can finally get whisky legally... phew) but I've only been doing electronics as my main hobby for about a year.I soldered up my first circuits (LEDs, lamps etc) when I was 8, but then turned to model planes from 19-last year when it just got too expensive. I still do flying in small amounts but electronics is now my main thing.It really is a great hobby. I'm doing a BTEC level 3 course in electronics which is total and utter shite. I'm on the second year now and on our fifth teacher, who is currently a Jamaican guy named Winston who is inconceivably crap. I've corrected him countless times now, which normally results in me getting kicked out of the class.There's only two other people my age that do electronics as a hobby that I know, and that's only because they are on the same course as me. The others just aren't interested really.I'm not sure if the exclusiveness of the hobby at my age is a good thing or not.

So I took all the solder off a lead-free reel, binned it (melted some with a blowlamp for fun of course) then put the empty reel on a drill, turned it on and replaced it with what was on the leaded reel.

My parents didn't know any better, in-fact didn't pay any attention to what I did for the most part. Did that for many years before learning!Later in life I took up a second close hobby, firearms shooting and reloading, since then I've reloaded tens of thousands of leaded rounds.Basically both of my hobbies involve lead, and lots of it. Ask anybody but my wife and I'm completely normal,Basic common sense, like washing your hands and your good.

My Favourite way of getting solder off of the pads, since I was very young, was (and maybe still is), Cutting about 40cm of Telephone or Comms cable, pulling out the cores. Then Heat the pad up, put the 'pipe' up to the pad, and breathe in through it.I used to love the burning in my lungs when I did that. I still think it works better than Mechanical Suckers or Wicking....

content: I see that after a time, the histogram of the age responses basically just matches the age of being self aware and healthy. Nobody is truly self aware below 11 years old and most people are losing mental faculties or health by 70 or so. No very surprising how the histogram looks.

content: Quote from: xygor on June 18, 2014, 07:48:20 pmNo, it's half of their current age plus one. If you arenyears old then the sum of all of your ages is1/2*n*(n+1). Divide this by the number of ages you have had,n, you get1/2*(n+1).Sorry. I remember that formula since my school days as it's a typical exercise when you learn induction.
