If it smells like chicken, you're holding it wrong - or maybe you're trying to solder your USB cable to a 512 pin Western Standard Porcupine Plug.
although it only has 3 traces per power strip, so might be worth buying more power strips. Buy enough power strips to breadboard the USB-C connector. We need 8 of them.
