This simple pin vise drill set can apparently drill into glass marbles.
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Must be the AI because I'm running into so many more FAILS these days.

OK lady - stop smiling for the camera and put that drink away because your tool is on the wrong side of the screw!

Um, looks like a regular ol' banana plug, no?

Dunno what goes on the hind end; just a wire/cable?

Terminator, innit.

Maybe an easy way to ground your scope to the DUT (or vice versa).

You can use a shielded cable to connect to a banana output. It's only shielded one side, so not great.
There are some niche applications for it, sometimes involving some older equipment, like uA current sources.

Soldering to the breadboard  - I guess that's one way to ensure good connections.  :-DD

We have solder seal butt connectors that you can use to connect two wires and the solder in the center melts - they work for that. But I didn't know they can repair ethernet cables! Oh and motorcycle cables too.  :-DD
