Yeah, it’s pretty obvious that they’ll eat no end of shit if they think their breath stank will offend libruls.

My mom brought me an Amazon Kindle my cousin was no longer using. I couldn’t seem to get it to charge, or the power switch to work. So I took it apart. Unfortunately, because of all the nasty fuggin’ gooey glue they use on various parts of it, I couldn’t get the battery out without damaging it (online teardown videos…
Now playing
Just makes me think of this:
Truth be told, I’ve seen funnier-looking guys. The problem isn’t the face, it’s the brain behind it.
I didn’t, but then it was 10 years between when I met my husband-to-be and when we got married, so it scarcely seemed important by that point.
I take it you don’t mean the Roger Corman three-day wonder with Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson...
Sometimes Mom reminds me of the mom in Taz-Mania (without the classic ‘50s-housewife stylings): a good-natured, affable, helpful, whirlwind.
How uncouth of me not to add: Congratulations! She looks healthy and cute!
No crafting right now ‘cause my mom’s visiting. She does provide the kick in the ass to getting the house finally back together after the floor was laid— I was dithering and dilly-dallying about too much of it. Also buying us food and books and stuff.
Bike stores (and the comprehensive bit kit iFixit sells) have small devices for unscrewing the valve cores in Schraeder tire valves (the commonest sort of tire valve, used in all automobile tires). Loosening or removing the core renders the tire incapable of holding air and does not (if the valve caps are put back on)…
There’s no pictures of it since it wasn’t a visually exciting project, but I grabbed a DC wall-wart power supply from a local thrift for 50c + tax, and successfully amputated the plug that didn’t fit my devices and soldered on one that did. Now my mini-oscilloscope and capacitance meter can run off wall power instead…
Frankly, I’m about at that stage myself. Trying to find some good teaching books. I admit The Art of Electronics is wonderful, but as it’s essentially a college textbook it’s crazy expensive new.
Yeah, e-books for archiving is fine. PDFs replacing reams of the photocopied handouts I’d get in college and then chuck at the end of the semester because they didn’t apply to any of my other classes is great.
I also like PDF service manuals if I can get them.
I enjoy some of the classic horror shows like Lights Out and Quiet, Please.
Ah, that’s good to know! But I might puzzle out the nature of power sources anyway because I don’t know what other chips out there take split voltages, or if I might be using an op-amp in a completely different project or what.
It wasn’t, and then they all came up. Reminds me of my father-in-law’s story about planting zucchini...
I’ve found that to be true for books too, which is why I’m not quite as enthusastic about e-books as many. (That and a lot of my collection comprises books on art, and though e-books are a vast step up from the days when you could only afford to print B&W repros of the paintings I still don’t find them as nice as…
Tested it on a 7" 33-1/3 demo record a friend of mine recorded back in 1985, to good effect. I’ll probably go through my LPs and maybe even a few tapes (I have some audiobooks of Poe read by Christopher Lee that deserve more love).
Hm, I wonder if there was a caching or delay issue on my end because I could not see my…
