I never thought I'd have so much trouble finding an SMA male to male cable. Stupid work equipment and it not having normal cables and connectors that you can grab from anywhere. Guess it doesn't help that the only electronics store within about 500 km is best buy.

Bubba says to just get two male to female cables and cut them in half and tape the male to male pieces together ......

There's not even male to female cables around here. Still SOL. We had a down day today, I haven't left bed yet. Still got paid 10 hours. And we'll probably have another down day on Tuesday

That's exactly what I'm doing because shops around here don't stock them

I think Sayal probably stocks stuff like this but the closest one to you is in Sauga.

Oh wait I don't even know where you are in the field my bad lmao!

I find it interesting that Lowe's actually stock Knipex pliers but for crazy money.

Timmins. I was actually at Sayal a few weeks ago and picked up some leads for a Picoscope. They knocked a ton of money off cause I bought up their entire stock. I don't mind going there for stuff. May actually shop there once I get around to home making some power supply leads.

Well, yeah, maybe partly. WD-40 is the 40th iteration of a Water Displacement formula which was originally used as a corrosion preventative, and drying agent.

I've heard of the fish oil thing. Maybe, but it's definitely only a component of a much more complicated and toxic formula. It's particularly good at displacing trapped water from bicycle chains.

I think the problem is that it's hyped as a lubricant etc. I'm sure it's great at water displacement. But it's mediocre at best for everything else

Oh, it is absolutely NOT a lubricant. Maybe in the short term for breaking shit loose...
