        I asked for 5m for a science project. A coil of 190m was the minimum they sold.
        It wasn’t too expensive (not copper), so I went with it.

          That’s actually hilarious. What did you do with the leftover??

            I still keep it in a cardboard box full of other electronics related stuff, which includes my shitty soldering iron (which is shitty enough to have made me thought that I was bad at soldering, until I once put my hands on a Weller) and other pieces of out of dysfunctional electronics that I have hoarded, thinking that I might do something with them, someday.

            I gave this as a reply to your comment because it is in the same spirit.

            The iron and the wire are the most used components out of that box.
