I couldn’t tell - some of you don’t like using the Mouser or Digi-Key parametric search? Or did I miss the sarcasm?
I find using those search tools really satisfying. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it therapeutic, but it is a bit of a treat when I get to search for (some) parts.
Although, after repeatedly buying smaller lots of common value resistors and capacitors, I finally realized buying 100 (or more) lots of certain components is the way to go! I’d definitely have saved some money in shipping over the years if I’d had that realization sooner!
I always assumed a lot of people here are like me, and have enough parts on hand to cover most of the BOMs of most projects. I mean, if it’s an overdrive with tl072 and clipping diodes, I’m sure I’ve got all the parts on hand (to build 20 of them)!
But to get back to the thread topic. I used to be a ketchup on my hotdog guy… until I moved to the Chicago area, where that is a crime punishable by flaying. Now mustard is the go to, but if I have the stuff, it’s gotta be Chicago style: Vienna beef dog, bun-length spear pickle, minced onions, sweet relish, tomatoes, sport peppers, yellow mustard, celery salt, poppyseed bun.
But I also like chili dogs, or chili cheese dogs.
I put both ketchup and mustard on corn dogs (and bagel dogs).
I like to make “hot dog rollups” sometimes: hot dog in a tortilla with shredded cheese. Microwave so the dog is hot and cheese is melted. I use ketchup and mustard for that.
Another good use for hotdogs: cut them up into pieces, and mix in with peas and mac and cheese. That’s a health food!
