Ah, the human brain... I have to stop and think to remember my phone number, but I still remember every stupid TV advertising jingle from the '80s.

I have a literal typewriter in my office for those times when I'm tempted to throw my computer out the window.
I faced something similar and got around it by setting the new WIFI name and password to be the same as the old WIFI name/password, so the various smart things didn’t realize that anything had changed. Maybe that might work?
Anyway it’s indeed a headache, good luck!
The experience of browsing for a rental in Reel Video on Shattuck in Berkeley was 1000% superior to anything I've ever done on a computer in my entire life.
I wonder if those are "tin whiskers" coming out of the lead between the two resistors? Or maybe just plating flaking off...

For comparison, downtown Atlanta has over 70 skybridges, most of them the work of John Portman (who coincidentally designed L.A.'s Westin Bonaventure in your video). Convenient for workers in Portman's buildings, but criticized for making the street-level pedestrian experience less pleasant.

Have you read "The Library Book" by Susan Orlean? It tells the story of the 1986 fire that gutted that beautiful building.
Wait, actually looks more like lead than uranium - look at the blue fluorescence from this leaded glass decanter - looks a lot like the color you're seeing (and not the green glow of uranium). So my guess is that your fragments came from leaded glass.
Possibly tiny fragments of uranium glass? If so, the grains might be mildly radioactive (though the emission from such a tiny speck would likely be very hard to detect).
Now can we please have a Metrolink station at UCR?!?

Here's the AI-created Groverhaus that made me aware of the term:
I'd never heard the term "Groverhaus" before today, and as a Grover, I'm 49% peeved to have something like this associated with my name, and 51% admitting that "trying to build a DIY addition to my house that breaks every possible code" is totally the kind of thing that I would do. 🫣
