3 Guys 1 Bowl?

You’re not supposed to squeeze the filling out, not until it’s perfectly ripe… 🍌

The ordering of letters can change the entire meaning of a word. For example…

“You’re my nicest grandma, I love you”

vs

“You’re my incest grandma, I love you”

When I’m almost certain it’s a scammer calling, I’ll answer as professionally as I can as if I’m running a business…

“Thank you for calling Ding Dong Double Dildos and Dirty Devices! How would you like to fuck yourself today?”

They usually just hang up and remove the number from the call list LMFAO! 😂🤣

I actually did this for my mom one day, scammers had been calling her left and right. She found it quite hilarious too, and by the next day, more than half the scammers quit calling 👍

Edit: Merry Christmas! This is how you fuck the scammers…

You’re not wrong there, the capacitor can indeed be dangerous!

I happen to be quite well experienced in repairing and rebuilding microwave ovens though, and it’s not like I leave the thing disassembled for random people to come along and stick their fingers in the wiring.

The modification I mentioned is fairly simple though, just take out the light bulb so that doesn’t stay on when the door is open, and bypass whatever timer circutry they have, whether it be analog, digital, or even subscription based digital bullshit these days.

Underneath the hood of every microwave oven is a sequence of 3 safety switches all activated by the mechanics of the door latch, required by law, to make damn sure it can’t emit radiation when the door is open. Take proper advantage of that knowledge and knowing the internals of a microwave oven, and it’s pretty easy to bypass the timer.

The only true danger with such modification is if you fuck up and forget your popcorn or frozen pizza or whatever, as the microwave will end up running indefinitely until you open the door. Used responsibly though, it’s just fine, but you gotta keep an eye on your own food and an eye on your own watch/clock.

Kids in the house though? Nah, I wouldn’t trust that sort of mod near kids for even 5 seconds.

We gotta go test these things in the back yard…

Honestly not as dangerous as you might think. Just keep the kids and pets away, and watch your own timer for your frozen pizza…

Remove the light, obviously. Bypass the control circuit…

Geez, didn’t Electroboom teach you anything?

Don’t do these things at home, obviously…

I don’t even need a timer for the microwave oven. I just rig that shit up where when you close the door, it cooks, and when you open it, well it stops cooking.

Don’t ask why, had to temporarily fix things for my mom. At least we didn’t have kids around the place…

Edit: AI can suck my nugz…

Wait, OSHA has handbooks? Well fuck, they should tell that to the oil companies and their employees. Fuck, there was this one major oil company that starts with a T and includes an X that had us throwing away old oil filters in the regular trash dumpster…

Ah, the drowning lol meme…

Bagging it up on a walk is decidedly worse than scooping it out of a litter box if the dog happens to have diarrhea. At least the litter clumps up, making cleanup much easier…

Good luck training a dog to use the box consistently though.

I do still have a lot of these games, ROMs, programs, music and videos from back then actually, as I was heavily involved in my area salvaging flooded hardware and data right after Katrina.

Within like 2 weeks, using WD-40 and a pressure washer for the circuit boards, I estimate that I was able to get about 80% of the electronics that came my way working again.

Mechanical parts like hard drives might as well be considered a loss in the long run, but if addressed quickly, cleaning the controller board separately often allowed data recovery and backup.

I don’t have it all anymore, but I do still have a lot…

I’d go back to my old Hurricane Katrina flood salvage computer setup, specifically the evolved upgraded version by about 2008. I literally had 18 different cables plugged into it, with multiple devices connected throughout the entire trailer we lived in.

• 2 monitors
• A printer and a scanner
• Stereo speakers
• TV tuner with 2 televisions, a VCR, and an FM radio antenna
• Game controller
• Ethernet
• Keyboard and mouse, of course
• External card reader

And probably a couple other things I forgot.

Internally…

• 5 hard drives

• 3 disc burners

• Floppy drive

• 2.53GHz Pentium 4 CPU

• 1 whopping gigabyte of RAM, 333MHz I think

And you better bet your ass I had lots of music, movies, games and emulators too, even had multiplayer sessions across different rooms.

Man, lots of weed was smoked back then…

Nah, they mailed all their customers, informing everyone that once they finished upgrading their infrastructure, that they would triple every customers’ internet speed for no extra charge.

Then, as everyone waited in hope, within like 6 months they renamed to /Sparklight, and that 100Mbps > 300Mbps upgrade they promised disappeared like a fart in the wind, plus /Sparklight ended up eventually increasing customer bills anyways, without any performance increase.

Honestly I think that’s exactly why they renamed, just because they wanted to back out of that promise, but didn’t actually have the fine print to legally back out.

Cable One renamed themselves to /Sparklight, basically to get out of the Cable One promise that they were supposed to triple everyone’s internet speed for no extra charge once they upgraded all their lines and equipment.

When companies rename themselves, they’re basically legally relieved of any prior promises, obligations, or class action lawsuits made/filed under the old company name.

Companies that change their names usually do so to avoid class action lawsuits and/or to get out of obligations they previously made with their customers.

Edit: I probably should have posted that as a top level comment, but oh well, I’m leaving it here.

So you’re okay with eating toddlers, gotcha 👍

I’m not sure exactly, but I’d guess about 2x magnification, and text is totally legible and easier to read.

The focal point distance for sunburning/fire is about 7cm.

The lens part itself is 6cm x 5cm.

Yes I did some measuring…

I almost skipped past this post, but something cheap I carry in my wallet every day is a credit card sized Fresnel magnifying lens, same size and thickness of a credit card. Suprisingly durable, and can even start fires in good sunlight.
