We were in there once or twice a month getting solder and random assortment of components for little home projects we had going. The workers also knew how to help and always had suggestions for the projects we were doing. I remember the day we (grandpa and I) went into the store and realized it wasn’t the same anymore. Only a small selection of components and the whole front was full of RC cars and random expensive electronic gadgets nobody asked for. We only went back once or twice, but it became evident that we can’t find what we were looking for there anymore. We started sourcing our parts from overseas vendors for fractions of a cent per unit, but we had to buy in bulk. We stopped doing those small projects because it was taking too long to get components and the cost was out of hand with thousands of unused components in boxes in the project room taking up space. Well, made myself sad for the morning.

No, but in the area we were in at the time it was mainly flat-bottomed aluminum boats. All of them were similar sizes, so pretty generic plugs.

Grandpa always had 3-5 in the glovebox of his truck. One would always get left somewhere or someone at the boat launch would be swearing about missing theirs and he’d give them one. Just one of those things you have to keep around.

That was the end of the roll. It wasn’t a continuous loop, just 100-ish feet of towel that they needed to wash periodically.

I know it’s a shitpost. I still had to look it up. Honestly couldn’t remember when this happened.

Depends on if this is a work issued device or not. If someone steals my work issued, I don’t care at all. We have systems where I can still get my things done and the laptops are encrypted with remote wipe capabilities. Sucks to lose equipment, but whatever. That’s on my boss’ cost center.

Losing my personal laptop is another story. That’s money out of my pocket, investments in upgrades, and the worst part is the sticker hoard on the lid. How am I supposed to re-coup that kind of loss? I don’t even remember where I got all of them, and then the placement. It took weeks for some of them to make the cut and get positioned where you could still see the logo on the front without hindering the others. This would be a travesty.

I do the same with m&m and skittles.

In general.

I completely agree. Shower, get the grime off, then soak in the bath. You get to enjoy the good oils and fragrance and you lower your UTI risk significantly.
