The bad news is our pantry threw up

The good news is we've invented a new salad dressing that contains brown gravy, french onion dip and apple cider vinegar

We call it "Our Pantry Threw Up "

Look for it at your local grocery store View attachment 640375

Sorry that happened, one word - metal. My dad, the thrifty guy he was, used plastic shelf holder thingys. Dishes/China came crashing down when it broke off.

Shelves are being held up by metal pins. the shelves themselves, plus the cabinet are made of IKEA MDF. the fiberboard around the pin holes is chipped away.

There was no pin under the front left part of the top shelf, it was being held up by the 2nd shelf with a 1x2. It was the 2nd shelf which failed, slipping an inch & ended up catching on the hinges, which is why it didn't dump its contents

Except for the 1x2

@Schlenkerla - Nice job with the Yuengling. I like that lager a lot. I can't get it here in Michigan, though, 'cause Michigan is 'effing stupid... Just another in the long list of reasons I hate this state... I'm sure you enjoyed them, they do taste pretty good.

We just got Yuengling in Ohio a few years ago, and they've always been right next door in PA. For some reason getting it to Ohio had something to do with their opening a plant in Florida (I guess just general expansion of production capacity.) It is good stuff.

don't remember the first time I noticed Yuengling, but I do remember the early 80s and getting Coors for the first time in GA. legally

It's the Stasis button.

It's the Stasis button.

I would prefer it be called the “kill time button” personally.

Changing out old fluorescents with ballast bypass direct wire LED. Removing ballasts. Presented with interesting dilemma...

Yea, I just cut them both. Red ones first.

 

[pvpeacock]

NO, NOT THE RED ONE!

My GS8+ recently (and quite suddenly) developed a horrible case of shell cancer
I had placed it in a dashboard vent cradle where it sat for an hour and a half in the cool stream of the AC and when I removed it from the cradle this is what I saw.

That gap opened on its own, no poking or prying required.
Luckily I had full replacement coverage and the brand new phone showed up today. Four hours of mucking about and the old phone has been fully cloned...

Wtf is that? Battery spooge!?

 

[day_trippr]

lol! Nah, it's some kind of glue. There's no signs of any snaps so I guess the whole back cover is simply glued to the chassis.
I was actually able to hit the seam with a heat gun, clamped it together until it cooled down and it held together overnight. But it eventually opened right back again, so it was time to call up The Geek Squad.

Have to say the replacement went easy - aside from the four hours getting it exactly the same as the old phone. VZ landed the replacement on my doorstep in two days, then cloning over an OTG cable took almost an hour, but there were a good dozen apps I had to manually install and all of their settings had to be copied over manually. Then each email account for some reason had to be woken up with the old credentials. But it's finally done!

Cheers!

I do so hate reinstalling new phone/PC. It used to be so easy...I feel so old.

Thats an impressive delamination. Four hours of goofing around? I don’t speak time...how many beers was that?

Yeah, it was so easy to install a new PC. Take the floppies out of the box. Put one in every hour or so. By the end of the day you were all set to start printing out WordPerfect docs on your dot matrix (bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt.) *sigh*

 

[balrog]

Pfsh. WordStar was *ON* a floppy. If you were lucky you had another floppy drive (LUXURY) to store your docs on. (queue Monty Python The Four Yorkshiremen).

And if you try to tell the kids these days, they don't believe ya.

Floppy discs and 100 pound 13” monitors. Ahh, the good ol days!

Zero beers, fwiw. It all happened before Beer Thirty.

Up to a few minutes ago I was still finding passwords and crap that had to be set - I finally went through every app that needs credentials (including HBT) and set everything again. I would've thought the cable cloning would have dragged all that along but no...

Havent used Android for awhile, but have to say I’m fairly impressed with the iPhones ability to clone to a new phone. Little too easy.

Miss my Atari 1200XL.

Back “in the day” I knew a guy that measured driving time in beers.


How far is the dock?

Oh, about 2 beers.

The glue needs to cure with UV light.

 

[day_trippr]

Perhaps, though I'm not sure how that would work as the glue line is quite well hidden inside the perimeter.
In any case it's not my problem now. New phone traveled to NYC and back today and did its job nicely...

Cheers!
