very interesting that the cops who have never in their lives helped someone get their stolen bike back seem to know nothing about the steps bikers have to take to keep their bikes safe in the city

@eb i can't think of a definition of "sandwich" which includes subs while excluding hotdogs

ended up being a broken connection between an 8.6v line and this resistor connecting to a chip which (i think) makes some of the cpu voltages. the water/corrosion probably shorted it to ground (e.g. right side of the capacitor directly below) and burned the trace?
