It's Colombia gotdammit

Ditto on the food. My son's high school is "open campus" for lunch, and very close to one of our local Costco stores. He eats there at least once a week (and they don't even ask for a membership card if he tells them he's just there for lunch).

my filthy mind doesn't even know where to begin with this.

Of course, someone is going to point out that you should use stainless steel parts and not galvanized steel, so I'll just add that stainless steel can gall. That is, you can remove its natural oxide layer during installation and cold weld the nut to the threads. Wee. This can be mitigated by lubricating the threads,…

Yeah, I had a Monoprice cable that was *way* too stiff for the application I wanted it for (connecting a tablet to a TV for trade show displays). I'm not sure it's a factor of build quality or part of what made it so cheap. Would've been fine for the usual use of connecting components that weren't going to be moving…

The first time I ordered from Monoprice I needed an HDMI cable and decided that durability would probably be better on one of their more expensive cables (which was still way cheaper than other offerings). The cable I received was insanely thick with a braided nylon casing. It is very hard to bend, but it sure has…

Monoprice has lifetime warranty on cables

Plus, lifetime warranty.

I'd imagine your coordination has grown since. But be sure you have some stuff you don't mind ruining before you tackle on other projects. Since you've mentioned ordering XLR cables from Monoprice before, I'd imagine you'd fiddle with some audio cables here and there. Best place to start is with some of the older…

I have been a loyal Monoprice customer for years. I can attest to their quality. I don't really do anything that will test their durability, but all the cables I've bought from them have given zero issues thus far.

I like Monoprice, but I have had some issues. The end fell off one my coax cables pulling it through the wall (not abusing it, it just broke). The other cable and ethernet wire held up fine. I had a slim micro USB cable that almost broke off at the connector. They replaced that one no-hassle for free. I didn't bother…

CAT5/e/6 cable termination is simply a matter of stripping and crimping and few $$$ invested for necessary tools and exercise.

I never tried XLR from Monoprice, given that for a $1/ft + $7 for connectors, you can craft your own quality XLRs. But then again, once you have a good XLR crafted, properly cared for, they can last for ages.

If this were to be authentic, though, we'd have to scribe it in cave walls with paint instead of on the internet. And nobody wants to advertise on cave walls anymore.

I'd like to write for PastLifeHacker, with headlines such as "Electricity: Witch's Magic or African Voodoo", "How To Use Indoor Plumbing And Why It Might Kill You", "The Blacksmith Tools Everyone Needs To Own", "101 Uses For Horse Shoes", and "Ug - Me Make Circle. Call Wheel".

I am an ex-employee of the company. Three warehouses. Eight years.

They can spend their money on other useless junk if they want to, but bottled water is one of the most wasteful items you could ever buy and is a huge global problem, so I thought I'd throw up a useful comment. Obviously that upset the balance of the interweb...
