He doesn't want to be buried in the landfill. https://www.proaudiodesignforum.com/forum/php/download/file.php?id=754&t=1 Any particular reason why the little guy on his arm can't keep watch over the garden? That works for me... looks weird but he's been watching my d...

china-man.jpg While not strictly normal wear and tear, this old ceramic statue that I carried around the country for years (after my mother died) got trashed either by wind gusts, or one of my neighbor's cats, knocking it over. This statue was a fixture in our house when we were kids growing up. Yo...

Always wrong... Is that from bad measurements or bad software ? Don't know, could be either or both. May be, there is an update available to hopefully turn it into a Quite right ? I removed the batteries and put it out of my misery. I could take it apart, but have no expectations of software upgrad...

Its up 16% since I added it, while my much older gold (GLD) position is only up 5% (up 5% is better than down 20% like it was a couple years ago). Reportedly the same reddit gambler/investor/day trade...

I used to sleep under an electric blanket as a kid. The mechanical thermostat contacts were not snubbed. Every time it clicked on or off I'd see a flash even with my eyes closed. Those are my memories of an electric blanket. yup my old one had a mechanical thermostat that clicked. The new one with ...
