Elisio Casu swindled his way into the Mann Co. facility maintainance crew despite his more than lacking real portfolio; the Italian charm is unbeatable. Higher-ups caught wind of his constant mishaps and the mostly destructive, violent nature of them, and saw enough potential to recruit him for a trial month on the battlefield.
Freshly deployed with the Team, one of his new tasks was actually learning to repair and maintain electrical devices. The killing part he already had down, whether he liked it or not.
In time he will prove himself useful on and off the battlefield by disabling the power of entire enemy facilities, rewiring sentries to send electrical impulses that burn sappers to crisps, and of course housework like assisting The Sciency Bunch in various deranged experiments. Purely for educational purposes, of course. Nothing malicious ever brews in self proclaimed innovators' minds.
If he is successful, or even survives, remains to be seen.
Imagine if Malfoy didn't actually " get better and less evil" but searches for revenge after so many years serving someone who just views him as trash. He finds Harry someone who also has been manipulated by Dumbledore and how his friends only stick with him for commodity. That's why he wants so desperately to be friends with him, the possibly only one who might understand him.
After all this, Draco and Harry would grow closer and defeat the dark lord BUT NOT BECAUSE THEY LOVE HUMANITY, BUT ACTUALLY TO BE THE REAL MASTERS
Omg, I love thinking how Harry could be so much more than just " I save people because it's bad to kill anyone! "
Tomcat Tribute | Air & Space Magazine| Smithsonian Magazine
The F-14 Tomcat had 40 miles of electrical wiring, described by an electrician with over a decades experience of working on the Tomcat as being “old and brittle” with a tendency to “break and snap."
"Eliminate the tag strips, go pure PTP, will eliminate the ugly bolts on the enclosure face.
- that's exactly what I used to think (pure P2P over tagstrip). Even a turret board lets you at least have guided control over parts placement. Tagstrip also means you have generic antennas/nodes floating everywhere, whether you want them or not.
It's definitely not a build of sensibility. Especially with the big ugly Frakenstein bolts. I used to work on tagstrip in a tube amp factory and didn't like it. It's really grown on me over the years, though.
Some point-to-point work looks really pretty, but also is very much a downgrade in reliability to a PCB. You need to secure the parts mechanically. Otherwise, you get a lot more microphonics. I also like to imagine what happens when you drop a pedal, and there's lots of inertia and all the parts shift without mechanical support
Even gravity plays a part! All the parts are "hanging" but sometimes you flip the pedal in transport etc and parts over time lean a tiny, tiny one way. You can only bend a wire, say, a dozen times back and forth before it snaps. Little stresses over years of repetitions add up.
Yeah, the aesthetic is trying to look intentionally DIY. Like an old guy made it from the parts at the shop around the corner. Could have used something more dressy/discrete, which also wouldn't capture boot mud in that little well."
