  • This might not be quite what you mean, but I used the charger from a Garmin Forerunner watch as a pogo clamp to test computer mice PCBs at one point. I just checked the clip, it has the same pitch as the tracks on a USB socket. You could, theoretically, rip the USB plug off by breaking the joints going from the plug to the board, then clip the watch charger onto the pads left behind to access the data. As long as you can connect the 4 wires the plug goes to you can access the data, it is all stored on a data chip on a different part of the circuit board. The only issue practically is that the pins might be reversed depending on how the clip is oriented, but that’s easy to hand-wave in a story.












  • I would like to point out that actors are usually contractually obligated to maintain a specific appearance. Stamos may literally have not been able to shave his head in solidarity, so while seemingly noncommittal I think there could be more to the gesture. As you say, Dave is the only authority on the matter either way.







  • Sounds like a disorder relating to MPD, but it could be any number of things. My advice is to be supportive as much as you can be, when ones own mind is the issue it just feels impossible to deal with.

    Not all disorders are ones that will affect work in “predictable” ways, everyone is different. They might just like practicing dialects and not have particularly strong social and coping skills.

    As difficult as it can be to interact with people like that, keep in mind their perspective: it might feel like everyone wants to alienate them which makes it difficult to interact without that assumption tainting the experience.
