Nobody: ... Stock photo guy: Yo could you put one of those screws on top of this modem and add random blobs of solder to it?

Yeah, possible. I guess, I'm also worried, because that modem is slanted, that screw doesn't look like it sits solidly on the surface and now he's adding weight to the top, plus just generally fumbling around atop that screw.
It feels like one wrong movement and he's got a piece of hot metal hurtling towards him...
I've done a good amount of soldering work all the way down to lighting cigarettes with an iron if I forgot a lighter when I went to work. It takes a lot to throw it. It melts at low temp and hardens at low temp. He likely could take his iron off that and swing it around in the air a half a second later and it would be fine. (Unless he smacks them in the face flailing haha)
