Surprised no one mentioned cost. When I moved to a city it got real expensive to buy a new tree each year. When I lived in a place where pine trees grew it was a lot cheaper.
Bought a tree about 7 years ago that fits in my place and spent $45 once.
It’s way nicer to have a real tree but I saved hundreds at this point.
Man are artificial trees a TON of work to keep nice.








When trouble shooting sometimes chips, caps or resistors can get much hotter than surrounds parts. It can let you know to inspect that part for replacement.
Sure don’t grab leads with your fingers but sometimes you can tell something like a voltage regulator is malfunctioning because it just gets really hot.
I mean you can just use an IR camera but most people don’t have one.
