I miss the days when more people around me were worried about people wearing socks in sandles, high socks, no show socks, wrong colored socks, non matching socks, toe socks... Come to think of it I knew a lot of people who spent more time than me looking at people's socks

Yarp, a gasket, couple clips and adhesive and you can have a fairly user swappable battery as well.

Though I'd prefer a metal bracket surrounding the wood with a slide in and up push onto gasket mechanism, two screws at the bottom to hold in place. You can lose the adhesive and everything would be easily accessible.

(Think iPhone 4S with gasket)

And they'll have something terrible on the back to protect it that doesn't crack as easily, like plastic or metal.

Joking aside, my brother gave me his old phone awhile back and I used it for awhile, the back was wood. Not sure why more phones didn't do that. It was light and had no issues with cracking. I suppose it wasn't as waterproof as phone are now, but I liked it.

His didn't have gold on it though, maybe it was silver or something

Fuckk. Sorry to hear that.

Buy a TV and crack the LCD, the new LCD will cost 90% of the price, and then you need to throw in labor. Let's say $100. That'll cover an hour of their time and the shops time because they first have to verify the model, talk to a vendor, get it shipped, then install it and deal with the drop off holding contacting you for pick up and payment processing. After paying the workers, maybe they made $50 off that repair if they are always busy. If a part is DOA, more costs. Total it all up and realize you spent $550 to repair a TV that is on sale with a 1 year warranty for $499 at Walmart with no waiting.

Assembly lines make things cheap, especially if the labor is cheap

If they don't make nuclear weapons and you attack them, then sanction them... Why would they not make nuclear arms. They get attacked either way and if they complete the weapons countries won't attack them without hesitation.

Also if they continue to attack the U.S.'s degrading respect around the world isn't going to increase but rather decrease further, all the while the current administration trying to convince voters who supposively supported "staying out" and said "not our problem" what is going on across the Atlantic. No one wants to start a war in the middle east except oil companies, defense contractors, and rich investors.

What kind of ~~animal~~ non-uniform hemorrhaging stalactite plugs that in the top outlet? It will clearly block the bottom one with the cord positioning.

When I worked in Panama City there were a bunch of Yellow Bellied Sliders that would be born each year in a pond and climb out and clammer around everywhere and they would get stepped on / run over so we'd constantly be picking them up in spring and bringing them back to the pond where we knew they came out of. (We'd see maybe 100 or so). I ended up putting one on my desk in a box to carry back one day and ended up taking it home for whatever reason. Almost 7 years later and dudes in my living room still 🤷

Hard to tell from this distance but these appear to be red eared sliders. They look very similar to yellow bellied sliders. Where as Yellow bellied sliders live mostly in the east coast of the U.S., North Florida to Virginia area, Red Eared sliders live from West Texas up to Indiana. They kind of merge/blend throughout Alabama and are starting to share more habitat recently I believe.

Ah that makes sense, so Sky News UK is basically NBC in the U.S. (Also owned by Comcast)
