Isn't "lightening" that stuff they put into cakes to make them lighter
and fluffier?

Great stuff if you can find it. 60/40 wets slightly better, giving you

a faster joint, but 63/37 goes directly from molten to solid with no
"slush" phase in between, thus no cold joints. The solder looks
more like beads of Sterling silver than tin-lead alloy.

That's what I thought! But then maybe it's the "spilled" vs "spilt"
differences in language, who knows? Or, (gasp), ignorance? Dunno; thought
it was curious though. I'm kind of a light(en)/(n)ing buffg.

their charges would cancel each other out.
Now I wonder what polarity it is:

Time to start a whole new debate!

Does polarity change between cloud-to-ground and ground-to-cloud
lightning strikes?

Is current flow negative to positive electron flow, or positive to
negative hole flow???

Air is not a semiconductor, AFAIK.
