question for you all 'cause I like subverting norms:

If you could master a single physical skill/talent overnight, what would it be and why?

@mawr Seriously though probably some form of art (if that counts) or music performance

@mawr Oh, or maybe hand-soldering really fine-pitch parts. TSSOPs are annoying.

@Felthry Oh gods yes they are. D:

I feel like my soldering skills are on par with a neanderthal holding a hot club. X3

@mawr well TSSOPs aren't meant to be hand-solderable so don't feel too bad. The smallest package I'm comfortable soldering by hand is a SOP, or if we're counting passives, an 0604--provided I get tweezers and some sort of glue and/or extra limbs and/or helpful person to hold it in place.

I guess I could probably do a SOT-23-3 too but definitely not a SOT-23-6

@Felthry I can make wires become joined with metal glue and a hot thing :D
