I worked for one. Long hours. Pay was probably below average. It was fun, though. Did it for one season in my youth because the opportunity was good for my resume.
Thing with the weirdest flavor, or flavor of the weirdest thing?
Thing with the weirdest flavor: Durian. Fucking gross. Ate it by accident (was in a dish I ordered). It tasted exactly like papaya or mango soaked in mop bucket water for 2 days.
Flavor of the weirdest thing: Probably Escargot. That was garlic and snail flavored.
The first garbage album I ever bought. I agree with this. Along the same lines, I think Chumbawamba’s Tubthumper comes to mind. Besides “Tubthumpin” (I get kocked down), the rest of the album is actually really solid and still a good listen today.

There was a kid at my high school who was famous for wrecking 7 cars his senior year. Parents just kept buying him new ones. Like, brand new. Off the lot. It was insane.
I was a poor college student and had access to engineering samples from a local manufacturer. Discarded parts gave me twin 15" LCDs for free in the mid 00’s. Also, to see if I could. It was a fun challenge. These are different revs of a controller that were outfitted in several slot machine prototypes. They gave me many years of service. I probably still have inkjet prints of the pinout and signal diagrams, somewhere.
I have rematched controllers to displays in the past. It’s neither simple nor easy. You’ll need to dig through spec sheets to ensure you’re sending the correct signals over the correct pinouts, at the correct frequencies and voltages. Be prepared to read some IO documentation for the sending and receiving chipsts, then verify pinouts with certainty. They are not always standard.
Here are 2 identical LCDs, with 2 very similar, nearly identical looking controllers. Note that one needed to be re-wired. It is not fun butt-connecting 2 dozen 28ga wires.
