I tried my hand at some cell phone repair yesterday. My backup phone is my old Zenfone 2. I used it for a couple of years and my wife abused it for over a year (she likes to game on her phone), so the battery life was less than half of the original. I ordered a replacement battery for it and swapped out the "non-replaceable" battery. All in all it wasn't bad. Removing the metal tray from the battery itself was a bear as I had to be careful because the tray houses the SIM card readers as well as the microSD card slot.
Once I reassembled the phone I tried booting it but got nada. Disassembled it and worked on making sure the metal tray was nice and flat on the battery and then reseated all the connections. This time it booted right up. I put the phone back into storage as I am using my new Honor 7X but if and when it is needed it should be good to go.

^ #1 reason I want to move to a larger company. All the small ones here try to shaft you with no overtime pay, holidays you get time in lieu. Even 1.5 would be nice 
edit: also I found this, and I can't recommend it highly enough: https://github.com/sdias/win-10-virtual-desktop-enhancer
Different wallpapers per desktop, scroll on the taskbar to switch between desktops, set custom desktop names, move windows/programs between desktops without needing a mouse, it's excellent. Virtual desktops in Win10 were good, but this makes it so much more usable.

Whoa why
What happened
^ lots of things, but mainly:
My girlfriend lives in Tucson (we met at SpaceX)
My Masters is at UofA in Tucson
I get to stay in the defense / aerospace industry with this new job (working with engineers is great)
This gets me a clearance
HUGE pay bump (80%!)
10 less hours a week
Sure, I won't be a part of SpaceX launching humans into space, but you can sure bet I'll be flying to the Cape for viewing that first launch
All in all I think it's going to be a correct move long term. Short term I'll miss the excitement of SpaceX, but.. eh.

I would say let's switch then, but uhhh I don't want to live in your state lol.
Lol
Going from Texas to MN, crazy opposites
MN is amazing apart from the winter, like that's the only thing that sucks about his place
