yes it’s back, and you can throw in some real world ones too if you like
After warning folks about the dangers of opening stuck paint bottle lids with pliers, I just had one shatter in my hand and cut the crap out me two days ago. [B)][D)]
dont burn your hand on hot glue… trust me my hand was screwed up right before basketball season…

exacto knife blades and skin don’t mix
Don’t try to solder soft white metal parts together.
Don’t use a styrofoam cup to hold laquer thinner.
Unless you’re emo. Then they are best friends. [xx(]
X-acto knives, and swiss army knives are not substitutes for Screw Drivers!
That solid wooden chair with the wide, substantial seat you’re about to stand on to reach something is about to develop a split along one leg up into the back that causes the legs on one side to buckle under, pulling out the dowels and ripping the glue joints, and causing an additional split to form, thus enhancing the buckle effect…
Don’t cut atlas track with Xuron rail nippers without a pair of safety glasses on. The remnants of a piece of rail can end up in your eye. I know so. It happened to me and I was lucky not to have lost my vision in my right eye. It was quick task in which I did not think would be an issue without my safety glasses. I am very lucky to not be blind in one eye.
When replacing your way-too-dull hobby knive with a fresh-sharp one, ALWAYS keep a sprue between your thumb and the part you are cutting. Dull blades eventually cut through the plastic and bounce off a well-worn thumb. Brand new blades cut right through plastic AND skin… and bounce off bone!
Never carry an open bottle of paint (or other gunk) over a floor surface that cannot be cleaned easily.
If you do, then somehow, some way, your feet will act as thought they’ve never worked together before and a spill that makes the Exxon Valdez look like amateur-hour will ensue.
Modeling Rule #1: X-acto knives have a thirst for human blood.
No project is complete until you have shed blood over it.
( This from 15+ years of assembling computers. X-Acto knives are gentle lambs compared to PC Components. )

That little detail that fell over on the mountain is ALWAYS going to be 3" from the farthest over that you can reach even on a stepladder.

If that were true, my layout would have been complete ages ago![(-D]
Remember, don’t have spare drill bits on hand because you’ll never break one on a weekend or holiday, when the LHS is closed–right?
While you’re waiting for your soldering gun to heat up, don’t test it with your fingers if you think it isn’t getting hot!!
What is the alternative? I’ve been using this technique for decades with only one shattered jar, fortunately with no bloody effects. However, I’ve learned that there are instances when the paint is beyond recovery and toss out jars out when “reasonable” pressure on the pliars is insufficient to remove cap from jar.

You must have been desparate to attempt this!

Non-vain people (those that don’t wear contact lenses) with poor close-up vision (usually due to age) are fortunate in that they must wear glasses to have a clue what they are doing.
