Sarcasm? It's a helium shortage!

Yes! If they had Maker typr products and parts, knowledable geeks paid to help not sell, and model rocketry, drones, maybe hero type cameras, basically became a place for electronics and the latest in geek tech, they would be a hit.

YUP. This exactly.

RS used to have parts, parts, parts, and all sorts of other stuff at a reasonable price. Their store-brand electronics were also pretty good most of the time. But they went the wrong way in order to try to compete with Worst Buy and Circuitous City, of which one is already gone and the other is trying to compete with

I've been on this planet for over 50 years and it seems like there has been a RadioShack is doomed story every five years.

I find this to be an indispensible travel companion after a few Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters:

Radio Shack had a terrible agreement in place for their employees, too. I once applied to work there in 2005. I was accepted for the job, but then they gave me a 10 page contract that I had to sign. The manager said 'Just sign it, no one ever reads these things.'

They didn't have alligator clips last time I went in, nor did they even have "assorted" capacitors or LED's like they used to (good luck finding specific ones).

But they don't sell anything useful anymore - they got rid of literally everything that made them unique.

I noticed the decline in the mid 90s when I suddenly had to go to Fry's to get the electronic components that I had always gotten at RS. Then in early 2000s when it became cell-phone-central. Now, just the other day, I was shopping online for a pizza stone, and Radio Shack came up. They just don't know what they are

Radio shack used to sell those electronics kits, I believe they were something like 101 electronics experiments. It was a board with transistors and capacitors and stuff like that and some wires that you connect with. I lived those things.

The moment that I knew Radio Shack was ultimately doomed? It goes something like this:

but, believe it or not, there may be a Bermuda Triangle connection.

Cant do it from the app,but you can share a contact from the contacts app, once in the contact - share - messenger.

I have been using the Wink hub for several months. The app has gotten a lot better but it is still extremely buggy. Navigation in the app has problems every time i use it. They did not set the back function properly so I have press back like 10 times before i get back to the home screen. That applies too 3 different

I'd rather a very basic station built and the rest of the money invested in to the crippling infrastructure on the rest of the Subway. You know, like making sure the trains are running properly and on schedule.

At least these people are contributing to the advancement of technology to solve those problems. You sit around and criticize the people doing something. I'm glad that these people will be remembered for contributing, or at least trying. Nobody will remember you. Your a speck on a grain of sand that will be forgotten

me: wtf is a staurn relay?
*google*
oh....they were still around when that thing was being made?
