They actually make things just like this for this specific purpose. Amazon has a 7 pack for $5, and Ive got them from Home Depot too. Looks like theyre calling them a "Hair Drain Cleaner Tool"

When I took handwriting lessons I had to draw each number 100+ times in a row, so I guess I could say I've been googoling since 1987

Is this one of those lists republicans print out and stick in a binder? Ive always been lowkey jealous of all them women, why do they get to be in the binder and not me

I cant believe im typing this sentence, but Famine actually manages to make chihuahuas look cute.

For me, mIRC had a clunky but useful script editor included that 14 year old me spent countless hours creating little chatbots with

I dont know, the issue reminds me of tech support calls id get back in the day for people who got angry at their ISP when they mixed up IMAP and POP3. Maybe step through exactly how this message service handles copying and deleting before using it to hire prostitutes for years.

"In a bizarre agreement, Russia sold Pepsi 17 submarines, a frigate, a cruiser, and a destroyer in 1989 to keep soda flowing into its citizens’ mouths. With all this firepower, Pepsi indirectly became the sixth largest naval fleet in the world."

They sold it all as scrap metal

Doesn't PepsiCo have its own small navy as well?

I see a hoverboard at my apartment dumpsters practically once a week. I rip them open for the battery pack, its always a stack of 18650s. I guess i should start collecting the motors too?

Of course not that's way too direct, we've got laws.

Biden has to issue a presidential act before he can legally off him.

The original Xbox had a tray because it was basically a PC, and had a standard IDE CD-ROM with some minor changes. They weren't standing apart, they were following the new standard of the time, PCs, and it was probably more to do with cost savings by using common parts. They also had a standard IDE HDD. Even their weird proprietary controller port they used on the original Xbox is just USB! Its the same wires, they just screwed up the pinout. you can replace one of those weird controller ports with a normal female USB and then plug all sorts of USB devices into the Xbox and they just work.

I only single out the Xbox because I've taken them apart, I imagine the PS2 is similar. At least PS2 didn't intentionally mess up their USB ports.

The first casualty of those battery fires is probably going to be someone handcuffed and locked in the back seat.

I once worked a stint for UPS doing package sorting. I definitely used that time to take some mental notes for any future shipping of mine. One big thing to pay attention to is keeping the weight/center of balance FIXED. Preferably low to the bottom and centered, but definitely fixed fixed fixed. Packing peanuts might still let something heavy shift around. Some folded up cardboard to keep heavy stuff fixed in one spot can go a long way to keep that box together.

The reason comes down to the belts in the sorting facilities. Some conveyor belts will suddenly tilt up at like 35°. If your contents shift the right way at that moment, the contents will start to use your box like a hamster wheel, counteracting the movement of the belt, and it will stay there doing flips until another package takes a beating helping it, or the jam is cleared. Even worse, it could climb that 35° incline and instead wobble wrong all the way at the top, and come tumbling down 30ft. You grow to learn the sound of a tumbling package, because immediately after the tumble it hits a small metal lip 2 ft from your head, shoots across your work area, and lands where you just grabbed it from. I think the max limit on that belt was 60lb packages.

Auto mechanics, this is specifically why your alternators are always beat to shit after UPS ships them.

This was also 10+ years ago, maybe they addressed the careening packages of death

Can we be neighbors?

I looked into maybe getting a flipper a while back and decided the hackRF would be the way to go. I never got either, but from what I was reading, hackRF let's you do all the things people who own flippers wish the flipper did.
