Gee... go figure. I thought that was just someone's old chewing gum . . .

PS -- not to pick nits, but just to clarify the situation - I have noticed, especially on eBay, outbound shipping form Australia to elsewhere is also super expensive. It appears very expensive shipping in any direction, which just put a serious crimp on Aussie international trade. Ouch. But not as bad as long distance charges from British Telecom in the 1990s - I still feel the pain of that expense. J

Must be the crew costs on tall ships

He started a new one (with an even more absurd title/premise than this one); hope springs eternal.

Strikes me he might want to get some decent monitor speakers and fix his recording space before going down that gurgling drain.

The Colander Boys - a good name for an alien-rock band.

"Mammmaaaaaa!!!
Ouuuuuu -ouu-ouu-ouuuu!
didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
Nothing really matters
Since my solder' iron's gone!"

Ordered a new solder iron. A good one.
The day I mod the mic shall be glorious!

Does “Lead Free” mean you get the lead in the solder for free?

Nope. It leads you for free.
Wherever you want.

It has Artificial Intelligence built in.
Sometimes it leads you where you don't want it to.

No - sady it means there is no lead in the solder..... which also means it's not very good solder. (IMHO of course! )

Of course you're right, but we were just kidding

You couldn’t give that cr*p away - it’s horrible to work with. Plus you miss the scent of bubbling lead - brings back memories of sucking the lead paint on toys they used to give to kids

Let's hope not Natural Stupidity.

But for free!

That’s why it won’t flow where you want it to go!! Explains it all.

Not only IYHO.
It's well known that it's more brittle (lack of elasticity that lead provided) and cracks after few years, depending how intensly PCB vibrates.
