while the loss of a lizard friend is disheartening, at least Mr Lizard is not immediately reincarnated as Jood or Curawongdong.

Sorry for your loss, @netforce. Condolences to you and your colleagues.

Did it chatter? We have geckos here that tch-tch-tch sound. I rather like it.

It was a quiet fellow. We would see him around the office every once and a while and then run away.

Nice! Don't let anyone see you wearing them or you'll be sexless forevermore

The first guy, we told him we would need to see his CC and ID when we dropped off the tv and then he whipped out excuses and dodged calls. Guess is that it was a stolen CC.

The call today, most likely a stolen CC but could be his CC and claim he never received the items.

One of my bosses fell for a big Tv scam one year and got a bunch of tvs dropshipped and it was sent to a fake address. The guy claimed he never received it and made off with $50k+ of Tvs.

I’ve got to go to my credit union for the 4th time to get a new debit card in 5 years. Some a-hole charged a airline ticket to Budapest on my card. It was a fake of my card. My card is in my wallet, and is a chip version. Got a letter from Experian last week letting us know our credit info was part of the data breach. Free credit monitoring for 10 years. B.F.D. They don’t give a shit.

Once a year is not bad if it is ok between failures. You seem to be having a tough time with AC recently!

Heat wave and then all the AC goes out. It is life.

Same here. Sunny office, no AC.

We get 40C-plus where I live; in fact most days are over 30C. But, at least for those that can afford it, we are set up with AC machines in our homes. Thinking about the people in France who are getting 40-45C (104-113F) who can't escape to cool homes. Must be horrible.

(I meant to post that on next profile post. Never mind: roughly same topic!)

Lol no worries.

Geez, thanks for the heads up, Senn.

He said he left his wallet at his daughters house and would grab it soon. Its been over a month and he still doesn't have the CC or his drivers license. We are calling it a scam now.

His daughter better have a good reason for keeping his wallet, man.

Weeb life is constant. I go to work in my tricked out itasha and crank that idol music all the way there. When I get home I greet my waifu dakimakura and watch all the animes/read my mangos

Animu*

I like mangos.

Was offered another option, possibly upgrading my HE-6 to HE-6SE or another Hifiman.

Exploring a new option of figuring out how to stick the driver into an Audeze cup.

Seven save us.

When the bug is baked right into the product naming.

Internet based phone seemed like a good idea when everything is working fine!

But I did clock in before the internet went out. So I may not be able to clock out...

Moar monies

The new snow day.

I 'member

Worth running a memory test on it if you can get it that far, dying RAM can do all sorts of wonky stuff and is an easy enough fix if that's the case.

Dropped it off at a local store for them to take a look. Will see what it might be wrong with it or how much it might take to get back running. Otherwise if it too much I will just take the HDD out and consider the laptop done.

Wives come and go... tv's are forever....ish... bet that thing is beautiful though.

We had one customer, wanted 65" and wife didn't want above 55". He buys the 65" anyway and has it unboxed in the work truck. Coworker brings it inside and hangs it, wife says it looks bigger than the old 55".

Coworker measures the tv across the top, 55" on the dot. Wife believes him.

^ Ex wife didn't want anything bigger than a 50". I got a 55". She thought it was to small. I live alone now.

Only never-ending screams as they consider the void that is their own existence. Aside from that though nah, not really.

You gotta name it...

...a warehouse I used to visit for work, in Brooklyn, had a 18" rat that was white with black spots they called Bessy. Because it looked like a cow.

@DigMe, I suppose you have to come to India for the spiritually enlightened lizard which is at peace with its existence and thinks only of the next insect to eat. And not being eaten by the cats.

@E_Schaaf Spoke with a friend who suggested taking it apart and using super glue and letting it rest for an hour. He went through the same on his HE-6

@BillOhio I let mine go for $799

Ah, cool, thanks. That's what I was thinking if I sold mine.

Similar thing happened to my HE-5LE. Superglued the nut which was actually superhard on the yokes altogether right back into the cup. Works flawlessly.

Tried to superglue it back which made everything worse

Looks like a "threaded nut insert". Used a lot with wood, and if one blows, you can typically drill a larger bore and install a new one, but with plastic you may be hosed.

Well.... fuck. I will order some threaded nut inserts and take apart the HE-6 entirely to use some heavy duty super glue tonight.

Do you know the way?

My queen!

Pretty sure I'm going to be rooting for Robotnik in this.

Saw the movie, 3 hours later and the scooter was still outside, unlocked but dead battery. Someone is going to have an unexpected large Spin charge.

^JOLTED!!!

Had the little paper receipt from the CC machine that said $47.02!

Musta been a Dyson. :P

Oh god, can you imagine if Dyson got into the vacuum tube business?

Facepalm!

Friend was joking around, he did buy the tickets. Crisis averted.

I remember flying cross country to a 2 day festival.. and finding out on the flight out that I didn't have the ticket. Yikes.
