When my Makita drill batteries died I was looking for new ones only to find that's it's cheaper to buy a whole new drill with batteries than to just replace my dead batteries. Absolutely stupid and wasteful.

Anyone know of good custom firmware that can be flashed onto a 50" Roku tv? I had one given to me last year and I sure as hell am not giving that thing net access, especially now.

I've never really used it yet except to plug it in once to make sure it works, but I was thinking of setting it up as a secondary "game room" tv so it doesn't really need internet anyway, but I'd like to leave no trace of anything roku on it if at all possible.

Too bad the elephant didn't execute of those hippo tail shit yeeting maneuvers.

No kidding, that fucker can't even do that right.

Last time I was in Thunder Bay I saw a cop car run a red with lights blazing, pull a U ball in the middle of the intersection, and sped down the block to the donut shop where 5 other cop cars were already sitting having coffee.

They take their coffee breaks pretty seriously over there.

Ya, it's from 2020

Thanks for the info, that's good to know. So the phone is good otherwise? I see on their site they also have some "normal" style phones, maybe I should consider one of them instead.

I've been looking into a new phone, and I'm seriously considering one of those "Unihertz Titan" ones with the physical keyboard.

I remember times in the evening that I would go for a walk because I was stressed and couldn't sleep, I'd end up walking around town all night until it was time to get ready for work again.

Fun times. /s

If a politician would try passing stuff like that nowadays they'd likely end up getting shot.

I remember reading about that too, but that was before he was pres. Now the whole family seems to have cash to burn.

 

I wonder if JB Weld can fix this. I guess only one way to find out.

 

They're from the phones you see in old movies that you had to crank to talk to an operator, commonly used up until the 1950's. I put my multimeter on one and it's still reading 1.3 volts. The owner told me I can take the whole lot of them if I want them which I'm tempted to do just because I like to collect old junk but I probably drag enough useless crap home as it is.

 

I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed "redacted for privacy." Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn't going to get screwed over

In the background of the one pic you can see one of the abandoned schoolhouses in the distance.

 

I didn't get a closer pic of this one sadly because a)Bees and b) I got distracted by the old Fargo that's directly behind me in this pic.

I've always wondered how many people fell for that.
