Until your TV breaks

u/mewthulhu 4d ago

20 dollars for new tv fused as a cathode ray tube eyeball projecting searing light into optic nerve. never breaks. stare into the light. embrace her glory. the warmth of burning free will. she is me. she is you. she is hot glue.

u/Quiggles_McGee 4d ago

Sir, this is America. The 200mg ibuprofen we give you after are $50 each. The bill comes to… $56,432.69. That’s after the insurance coverage. Have a nice day!

They all run off 3v. Just wire the sams 2 cell battery pack to all of them (in parallel) and only change one set.

u/FilthyPedant 4d ago

Wire them to a USB power brick, extra voltage will give them extra range.

u/Parryandrepost 4d ago

I had this girlfriend a while back. I've got plenty of stories of her but her whole family was something else.

Her dad got pissed once while drunk when he lost his Roku remote. His solution was to super glue it to the broom. The broom that he then put back in the closet before passing out and then causing him to lose the Roku remote again.

When I initially built Megatron on my sharehouse circa 2009 we felt like geniuses that we also attached a rope from the 'tron to the coffee table so we never lost it.

You peel off a remote, change them, then pay the continuing service fee from the service agreement to have them come out and reglue it.
