Now, which wire to cut in order to disable the accelerator NR... <ducks>
I'm waiting to see the guy with the wire snips, slightly sweaty, crouched over the camera, hands shaking slightly...

"I should have paid Ricoh to do the upgrade..." he whispers, before snipping an unseen wire...

... and commercial break...

For those who don't know, good, please DON'T look it up.
After I learned this term, I cringe whenever I do anything with my left hand and I'm wearing my wedding ring

Remove ring before working around an automobile starter, alternator, or battery.

I worked around machinery for most of my adult life, so not wearing a ring was the rule. Too much risk of injury otherwise.

Yes, this is common sense. For me it's because I don't do that type of work often so the rare time my hand gets close to stuff like that it takes about a minute before I go "wait a sec, I should take this ring off"

There must be a new technique in play here. They said it was innovative!

There are people over at DPR who are complaining that it's a mess of wires under the cover.... There's no end to the Pentax-bashing.
