resistor color bands are just a whole entire clown show aren't they

- hope you like stocking eleven different printing colors, two of which are metallic, lmao
- good luck reading them if you have any kind of color vision issues
- why aren't we just printing numbers on them like we do for capacitors? T R A D I T I O N, that's why. also: Fuck You
- how the fuck do you tell resistors and inductors apart, anyway

also just to give you a parting kick in the bum on your way out, we made a racist mnemonic for 'em

@diodelass Not to mention how unreadable the colour bands are on some types of resistors even without colour vision issues. Metal film resistors? Good luck trying to figure out what colour those bands actually are!
