Yeah - that is how it seems to be pointing; but they conflate it with all vape juice. Then again, there is that one study that found PEG/PPG juices caused certain issues. But inhaling vaporized oil/wax always seemed a bit sketchy

Toward the very end of the vacuum tube era, there were some "almost solid-state" tubes created, and mainly only used on televisions. You could find old TVs that had parts which were transistorized, and others that had these "

For a laptop, you might want to look into whatever is used by the military or LEOs - they tend to be ruggedized and designed for abuse. In that vein, the Panasonic Toughbook was the go-to (and may still be - I haven't checked lately).

Something you can try (ymmv, no guarantees): Do you have a Kohl's retail outlet near you? From what my wife tells me, they do returns for Amazon purchases now. Just take it down to them and go to customer service and drop it off. Again

AutoZone probably rents them, if you don't have the need to own one (I found one at a goodwill once for a dollar, so I bought it - never know).

Something to also be aware of is that some commercial "appliances" should never be installed in a "residential" (or anything close to it) setting. I once had an employer who had this extreme Icee addiction. Our office wa

When I was a kid, my friend's mom had an old all-metal Kirby vacuum cleaner - thing sounded like a jet engine running. One day we decided to see if it could pick up a roll of quarters (his mom wasn't home). We ran it over - it shu

Go on Amazon - or go down to a Business Costco or whatever similar restaurant supply place (that sells to the public) is available in your area - and purchase a commercial microwave; Sharp or Amana are the ones most sold. My wife and I got

Heh - I should do something like that for my cheap home fridge: 1. JB weld some magnets to the back of a cheap Android tablet and stick it on the front. 2. Build a small RasPi Zero W cam with an LED light, running MotionEyeOS, pipe it'

It might actually be a derisive term, like calling someone an NPC for similar reason; ie - a way of dehumanizing the other. On the other hand, I know of one "user" on The Hill, that is a known Russian troll farm of some sort (not

I might have to try that keyboard - it looks nice, and maybe it might feel as "ok" as the keyboard on the MBP I use at my job (older 2014 edition). But nothing could really replace my keyboard at home. I just can't get away f

I wonder if they could add speed bumps/tables to slow the traffic down? That might be one solution - and fairly inexpensive, too.

by cr0sh 7y ago
Author said the fridge was 10 years old - it should have a fan on the bottom coils - but if the coils are on the back, then that'll take more than one PC fan (I'm not even sure what you could use - maybe a couple of box fans?). Al

As others have already noted, cheaper and high-power low-resistance MOSFETs are likely the reason - and that did mostly happen in the 1990s. Something to look at from that period are hobby-grade RC (radio control) cars. Most used NiCad batt

What you do is "dark sky" refrigeration/freezing - doesn't work everywhere, but in the right climate (and proper insulation), you can make ice.

From what I can gather - and this is mere speculation on my part - the new Ranger is merely a version of the 1990s F150 dressed up. Compare the size of an early 90s F150 with that of today's new Ranger, and you'll see what I mean
