Earwig:
What I will say about soldering wires to connectors is that I now always do it with the partner connector plugged in, because if I don’t I have a tendency to overheat the pins, soften the plastic and end up with wonky pins that then won’t plug in. That’s a real life lesson from a shoddy solderer, so I’m standing by that one.
And this I agree with entirely @Earwig says it helps the positioning of the contacts you are heating up, I’ve done this like, for ever, like. (Is that a Taylor Swift thing?)
I wasn’t sure on the lyrics, it’s OK listening to her on the radio but when she comes on the screen I can never seem to concentrate

I’ll keep this in mind for when the time comes… thx
