I'd like to recommend the Amazon original series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". Takes place in New York in 1958 and has great character development. I'd like to tell you more but it would give away the turns in the plot. Features someone playing the part of Lenny Bruce, if that helps.
My description sucks but the show is really good.

If it's not one thing, it's another.
My sterilizer for the dental office started to act funky. After speaking to some techs, they said it's the circuit board but the circuit board has been discontinued. Any recommendations on circuit board repair?

So that's kinda neat - it's fairly simple board, the only thing I'd point out are the 2737 is likely an eeprom - and on the bottom side of the board on the left side of the picture - yeah, that looks really iffy where the traces are lifted. I'd check continuity there, scrape up some of the coating and maybe solder a wire where it's looking sketchy.

Quick question..
I have to install a vacuum reservoir in my car. It will go inside the front bumper, under the left headlight. (There is plenty room)
What do you guys think will be an ideal maximum volume for the said canister?
I can easily fit an 8 liter cube in there.

How about a 4.18 L sphere in the same spot? (Sameish diameter as edge length of the 8L cube)
Most of the vac cans I've seen on various cars were no larger than an exceptionally large grapefruit (150 mm diameter). I don't think even a Citroen DS has anything much larger and those things are pneumatic pnightmares. Though to be fair, it might have multiple.

That's how old EPROMs worked. We had little UV lights in a box. To erase the chip, you'd peel off the label, stick it in the box, and turn on the light for a few minutes. Exposure to sunlight would blank it in a few days.
To this day, I don't understand how the technology worked. I'm not entirely convinced that the people who designed them did either. (This is a frighteningly common phenomenon in engineering.)

Glad you got it working - electrolytic caps would have been my first guess, but I spotted the damaged trace and got focused.

At least that's just internal for other writers on the Commerce Team, and not a Williams-Sonoma/Roku/GoPro/Siemens customer the Product Managers have to deal with this.

Thankfully I work on customer facing documents for light-medium users, not the stuff for the developers, since I don't know how to code. Just how to manipulate CSS/HTML just enough to get around the rules of a certain publishing program.
