You know, Painless, I was just looking at a 1950s mechanical relay and thinking how simple gears and levers can beat a whole microcontroller. I have a little prototype that might prove it—care to take a look?

Ah, here it is, my squirrel‑confusing, lever‑laden contraption. Picture a 1950s relay, a dash of copper wire, and a brass gear that turns when the button’s depressed. When the gears click, the circuit lights a tiny LED, and the whole thing hums like a polite old radio. No firmware needed, just good ol’ mechanical timing. If it stalls, I'll gladly show you where the spring got tired.
