A client brought in a water-damaged laptop from a flood in Miami last month, and the BGA chip looked totally gone. I tried the freeze spray before heating it, just as a last resort, and it actually helped the solder reflow without bridging. Has anyone else had a specific component where this weird trick saved the day?
We were doing a basic hull clean on a container ship and my buddy's dredge line kicked up a huge cloud that went zero vis in seconds. I just froze for a second, felt for my umbilical, and followed it hand over hand back to the shot line. What's your go-to move when the water turns to chocolate milk like that?
I used to believe spikes were just part of the job for any climb, but after finding serious decay in cherry trees from old wounds, I've totally switched to spurless methods for pruning. Some crews say spikes are crucial for getting up fast and staying secure, but I'm convinced the harm to the tree isn't worth it. Where do you all stand on using spikes for live work versus saving them only for removals?

Just smile and nod until you can grab that drink.
