Soldering
Today, from around 11:02 to 11:21 a.m., I successfully managed to dig out some long-presumed-lost abilities: I can still do some minor soldering work.
After giving up to create a good-looking knot in the extremely long cable of the hands-free stereo set of my Nokia phone, the decision fell to shorten them. I cut them, then used my teeth, some tongs as weight, and an oversized soldering iron to do some intricate trial-and-error.
Well, it still works. It's still stereo, MW can hear me, and the cable between microphone and ear buds is about 1m shorter. The botlab work desk has some more dark spots on the surface now.
