Get some "no clean" type?

No clean flux is OK for some jobs, but the ones I have used are useless for high impedance circuitry.

Oh dear. Had to collect a parcel from the postoffice today and, since it's a nice if cold day, elected to walk in. Once there my nose was running, as it tends to after some exercise, so had a good honk into a tissue. Next thing I know I'm in the centre of a cleared area about 20' across with many onlookers going blue in the face as they tried not to breathe.

I think I've just discovered a new way to jump queues.

4L of 70% IPA ..... Up for auction, currently going for $355.00.   :o

People are still bidding - and there's still an hour to go!

    Florida and I think most areas have laws against gauging people on the price of products during emergencies, (Like gasoline, food and water shortages during a hurricane).  That's only been applied to commercial businesses as far as I know but it's high time that the prosecutors started going after individuals doing the same on Craigslist and Ebay.  Hoard for your own use if you want to but no one should be allowed to massively over charge others for necessities for a profit during an emergency.

They were being investigated and decided it is time to bear the loss  :-DD

I don't see how gouging laws can easily be applied to an approved auction format. In this case it isn't the seller driving up the price, it's the buyers. Once an item is placed for auction, what control does the seller have, legally or otherwise? Tell the winner he bid too much and the item will be sold to a lower bidder?
