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…

Ok.

I needed colors to tag otherwise unlabeled wire harnesses…

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…

What, you mean fingernail clippers?

It’s not difficult, it just makes an easier arrangement for the toolbox. Make the arrangements at home at your convenience, then when you need them, easy peasy…

They just zip off the other end ya know…

Requires a tool? What are you talking about? Just zip them off the other end, I already cut the head off the main zip line.

Geez, do I have to explain common sense to people? I figured this would be obvious.

Alright, you have a Merry Christmas as well.

These were literally purchased to color tag unlabeled wiring harnesses in a vehicle, so please ever so kindly fuckoff, I literally needed the colors.

Were they multicolored?

Meanwhile, my pinhole glasses should come in tomorrow…

See definitions 3 and 5 for reference, I believe the term fully fits.

Ok. You organize your toolbox your way, I’ll organize mine the way I want.

It’s a lot easier to arrange this way in a toolbox, especially when working on vehicles with nasty oily hands while trying to color code tag wire harness connectors.

Edit: It didn’t even take very long, maybe about 20 minutes, and I found the process to be somewhat relaxing actually. Way more relaxing than the actual mechanic work it’s meant for.

My late father had a little more class than that though. He would go behind the local Piggly Wiggly right after they tossed out food that was just past official expiration date, and he’d basically go dumpster diving.

He didn’t do this willy nilly either, he was always observant on what foods he found that were still viable and edible. It’s amazing yet very disappointing how much perfectly good food goes to waste every single day when we have so many people in the world starving… ☹️

Fair enough.

In recent times, I heard a joke that loosely goes something like this…

Back in the day, I used to be able to go to the store with $20 and get 2 steaks, 3 loaves of bread, a sack of potatoes and a tub of butter.

Not today though, too many fucking cameras!

😂🤣

You ever been on a team that installed a whole new system and all new Ethernet lines at a bank? I have, twice. We’re the kinda guys that arrange what they call cableporn on the internet.

If you gotta run 32 Ethernet lines for a distance of 200 feet, those zip ties have to be evenly and sensibly spaced, so it’s part measuring, dividing out, and wait for it…

Counting.

Bleh, I told Oracle to literally fuck off (they redacted a couple of my messages), because I was trying to debug their Sound Blaster 16 emulation…

I opened that bug ticket in 2008. It’s still open today, because Oracle basically gave me the corporate version of fuckoff, while I was only acting as a volunteer debug coder.

I think I have one of the longest still open bug tickets in existence, and they can sugma…

But I’ve found that zippers are a very useful thing for decency…

Oh come on, you know Gadget Hackwrench was about one of the sexiest Disney characters…

I’m not sure what exactly you’re referring to, but if you find a couple relevant links, please share, I’m curious now…
