Good find! I used to use Review Meta but the dev stopped working on it.

Been using it for years, it can help. Seems to be a good indicator of crap products on the zon when there are high number of reviews and d or f rating.

I've replaced a gen2 iPad screen before. It was a headache dealing with the glue and dented case, but otherwise not so bad

A hot air gun is your friend

@Cspirou Yeah, I’m already asking around about borrowing a hot air gun. Ive watched a couple of vids already. Gonna order my parts today.

Out of curiosity, why do you prefer Lycos over something free like Gmail?

I definitely don’t prefer Lycos over Gmail, but I have had this email for so long it is my goto address for signing up for everything, it is linked to so many different accounts that I’d rather just pay the yearly fee at least for now than try to extricate everything that is connected to it. I have Gmail too and use that for personal correspondence.

It didn’t become paid until a couple of years ago so literally used it for free for all of my casual accounts for over 20 years.

Lol, I have definitely hit and knocked over a few things. I learned that for me at least I need to make the virtual boundary smaller than I think.

Soon, getting my son a Steam VR setup. Refusing to give any money to Facebook.

@Syzygy I totally understand. He saved up his own money and given our lifestyle and the PC requirement it was the best option for the price. He’s very happy with it but I don’t like the Facebook connection either.

BTW, Techmoan labeled it as “promotional” video simply because most of the stuff from all the people in the rundown sent him their stuff for free.

I just watched it this morning. I’m sure he’ll be even more swamped with orders after that video. I would love to have a couple of my favorite albums on 8 Track.

Yeah, he knows it will increase traffic. It’s amazing how much work he gets for personal transfers. He does a really amazing job at creating the custom labels and liner notes. He displays a lot of it on Facebook.

Henry Huggins! Mouse and the Motorcycle! I loved those books. RIP. Wow... what a long life!

All major candy companies use chocolate harvested by children, many of them enslaved. They have all refused offers to partner with IRA advocates to establish clean supply lines. Here is a list of ethical chocolate companies https://www.slavefreechocolate.org/ethical-chocolate-companies

Much of the child labor is a motivator of child trafficking. Lots more interesting stuff in there.

Gangsters are using children to mine mica in Jharkhand & Bihar, India to give shimmer and shine to the whole make up industry. My wife & I met with our State Sen. about it, because there *are* synthetic alternatives,

Muppets were not made for fighting...

That's why he carries a cattle gun

@Jinxy245 Try telling that to Animal or Miss Piggy

@rtaylor76 they are doing the same thing in FL.

The way the USA handles covid is akin to a kid that keeps picking a scab off and wondering why it hurts and why it won't heal up faster.

@YMO except we haven’t been closed. Everything has been moving right along.

I have never been to a Fry's, but I know it was a beloved store. I wonder if the character Fry from Futurama was named after Fry's.

Fry's had almost everything. But you had to know what you were after. They mostly hired morons, with the rare helpful, knowledgeable person.

Oh no. :( Very, very sorry to hear that man. I hoped he would be one of the lucky ones. My sincere condolences.

I remember and I am sorry for your loss. COVID has impacted far too many lives.

My condolences, this virus really sucks. Do take care of yourself.

"Weeks after diagnosed with cancer". That's brutal. Cancer sucks

Fuck cancer

@Thad E Ginathom I understand. They weren’t seeing improvement in his blood gas levels with vent on 100% so they did the ECMO procedure. I was feeling less hopeful when ECMO wasn’t working but they figured out that the placement of the cannula was causing the oxygenated blood to go straight back into the machine instead of circulating through his body. The adjustment fixed that. Much better now.

I do have hope. Being on a ventilator alone is a very tenuous situation. Because I know so many doctors, I know that many COVID patients who make it this far have not survived but I do still have hope. He is young so that alone is working for him.

Got a lot of really hopeful news today. Ventilator has been at 100% since Jan 7th but today they have lowered it to 70% and so far O2 is still good. That’s great because ventilator is hard on the heart.

I assumed you were talking about a new Cavalli product :P

You should warn about FB links. Now I got crappy cookies to clean out! :D

Oh no! Sorry, @Syzygy! Warning added. @Skyline Ha! Didn’t even think about that. Adjusted the wording a bit.

Fuck. Only just heard of that. I was being a bit silly above but that's some Wagyu grade bullshit there. I'm sorry B, people can be stupider than rocks.

Critical thinking skills seem to be on the decline among the general populace. Science and facts have been replaced by belief systems and opinions. The con artists of the world are having a heyday.

Thanks, Social Media.
