Oh wow, you make that SMD resistor look really tiny.
And why/who would cut up a roll of diodes and count them before shipping...
Yes...they are small, miniscule, and tiny. That one I took out to take a pic of...I lost. Good thing I ordered extras to account for breakages and losses!

After hand bending some diodes, it hit me: it's easier this way. Also, I haven't been to to the physical shop (I ordered by phone from a local shop) but they sell DIY kits and educational packs so I guess they keep singles for easy repacking. I imagine you can order them in a roll too.
