Resistance
This is how resistors typically come, if you aren't familiar with them. That kind of beige tape stuff holding 100 resistors to two strips of paper.
So last night I went to tear off a couple of resistors...I don't recall the value or I'd show you the offending item...and the tape was some brick red plastic-y stuff instead of the usual beige construction tape or whatever.
It was hard to tear than this stuff and somehow I pulled a muscle between my right thumb and index finger doing it.
This is the kind of thing that would never have been an issue when I was 19. I mean, I've literally fallen out of a moving vehicle and got up like, "Dude, that was messed-up! We gotta get back on the road or we're gonna miss the show!"
Now I'm all, "Tore that plastic tape and now I'll never be able to use this thumb again!" They needed some classes when I was a kid about what to expect as your body stops being as resilient.
