Just one shoe?

Way to **** it up, gbk.

I know, I really have the buyer's remorse.

On the up side, it fits well.

bought a refurb ps3 and the MGS legacy pack, but the hard drive on the ps3 is bad. so i just ordered a cheap, 120gb refurb 7200 hard drive to replace it

I just ordered a white PS4 for some reason.

Does the PS4 heat up like the early PS3? If so, maybe you can use it to cook food.

You may still be confusing the early PS3 with a George Foreman Grill.

Hopefully these show up before snow and ice cover the roads. >_>

2015 WRX. I still have to go pick it up half way across the country, so this is just a random picture of one from imgur.



Also some Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires for the winter.

Nice car Obi!

I picked up this mouse last week to replace the POS known as the Rat 7 (fck mad catz products)



I really wanted a good wireless mouse and so far this thing is pretty nice.

+1

I liked my rat7 a lot until the middle click broke and I took it apart to fix it.

The mouse wheel is on a shaft. One end of the shaft is in the scroll wheel sensor. The other end is bare metal and rests on a microswitch. The whole rig flexes downward at a slight angle to activate the microswitch.

The whole time you use the mouse wheel it's moving against that switch, half-pressing it, shaking it in its housing, wearing it down. If that weren't bad enough, they also used the cheapest microswitch available. The ones they used for the other buttons aren't great, but they're at least higher rated - I guess their designers didn't understand that the extra mechanical stresses mattered just as much as a click.

So yeah, long story short, 2/10 comfortable but does not work, wouldn't buy again

I got this from Microsoft for free when I called in to replace the transceiver for a regular Microsoft Wireless Mouse. Despite being called Ergonomic, I couldn't get use to it (it's like moving one of those fake garden rocks around). I've had numerous Microsoft and Logitech mice and even HP mice, and the first thing to go is the wheel and microswitch system. I do a lot of scrolling (for zooming in and zooming out) of drawings and models, and it's getting annoying when the wheel starts to give.

Is there a brand known for solid scrollwheels (preferably stepped, good for zoom levels), and is it ultimately a matter of $$$?

ugh, are there really still mice w/ non-stepped wheels? **** me in half, that's just the grossest thing there is.

I liked it too, which is why I'm probably a little more than pissed. Not to mention the $100 price tag. I'm not surprised to read another story on here about this mouse failing. Despite all the horror stories on Amazon I bought it anyway. My failure was tracking (4-5 months after purchase). Everyone kept telling me, "Just clean the lens with a Q-Tip".. Hey ****ers guess what, the little hole is too small to even fit a Q-Tip and I know that's not the issue!

Need parts I'll send you mine! Lol..

ty for offer but if I wanted I could have replaced every switch for 25 cents + it's in the garbage where it belongs

If you really want good scrolling and zooming you want a Mac + Tragic Macpad.

I know it's not very helpful, but no, nobody is known for high quality mice, least of all the moving parts of one.

This is why I made my weirdness expensive keyboards, where it's all mechanical switches soldered onto a steel plate. Mice, though? Lmao

The MX518 will forever stand as the best mouse ever made. The G500 "replacement" I have now has a wonky mouse wheel where the left-right functionality is basically broken.

My recent purchases have been a ton of 3d printing related stuff. A heated bed upgrade, a bunch of new filament, and coming today, a raspberry pi to act as a camera and wifi controller for it.

Thanks!



I always think 3d printing would be a neat way to bypass expensive machine shops for fabrication, but man, it seems like the plastic quality, print resolution and hassle for anything remotely hobbyist grade is too restricting. Have you had success with it?

Well I'm not exactly trying to build robots with it or anything.

The print resolution is actually fairly good (0.1mm on most printers), as long as you have tons of patience. Usually people struggle because they try to get instant gratification, and these things just aren't capable of those speeds. That said, if you're not terribly concerned about fine detail, 0.3mm is much faster and can run at higher speeds too.

There are two plastics that are most commonly used for these printers. PLA and ABS. You've probably heard of the latter, it's used in damn near everything consumer-oriented, and holds up fairly well under stresses and heat. It is harder to use, but it's not impossible. Some printers do a better job.

PLA on the other hand, is super easy to use. It doesn't even require a heated bed (although it's even easier to use if you do), and is somewhat biodegradeable (won't do it in your backyard, but it doesn't take much). It's primary downside compared to ABS though is the low melting point. It'll get soft in a (very) hot car in summer, and lose its shape somewhat.

You're not going to make money off of it or anything, but it's really fun to use for hobby stuff. The cheaper printers, like mine, require a lot of fine tuning, and I wouldn't use it for mass production, but it's great for one-off stuff. I've printed stuff like cups designed to hold screws temporarily, fan grills, replacement knobs for some of my older audio gear, a couple toys for my nephew, etc. I especially like printing custom enclosures for my microcontroller projects, since that's the sort of thing you can't really buy off the shelf. It's form fitting to whatever purpose I need, with the mounting holes and all.

In the end, if you're planning on buying a 3D printer for these reasons:

1. Mass production
2. Off-the-shelf models/etc
3. Large items

Don't bother. You won't save money and it's just not really ready for that yet (but at the rate they're improving, 5-10 years that could change dramatically).

If you're buying a 3D printer for these reasons:

1. Custom models (architecture, figurines, etc)
2. Customizing normally off-the-shelf parts (fan grilles, etc)
3. Printing hard/impossible to find pieces

and don't mind the upfront time and money investment, it's definitely fun. It's really freeing and exciting to have the realization sometimes "man, I wish I had something to hold this up, or fix this", and then realize for like $0.10 worth of plastic, you can.

Roads to Ruin by E.S. Turner
It's a book about the history of social reforms in Britain and particularly about the conservative push-back to many reforms that we consider today either necessary or at least innocuous but at the time was heralded as the ruining of the nation/coming of the apocalypse. It's somewhere between horrifying and hilarious to read MPs and other worthies complain about the end of child chimney-sweeps, the horror of daylight savings time, the ability to marry your dead spouse's sibling etc. Even the banning of spring guns was seen as an awful affront to personal property.

Awwww yeah.

Is that an impact driver, gbk?

Negative. But it does have a variable speed trigger and more torque than I will ever need.

It's one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N2XJ8I/

I too thought that was an impact driver because of the part that holds the bits.

it's for his dildos

-GTX 750i
-some flash drives
-Monoprice graphics tablet, or as they call it, "Interactive pen display"
-DVI cable
-USB cable
-new soldering iron
-some mangas
-probably going to get a new tripod


girlfriend broke up with me, so I'm drowning myself in consumerism

and doctors visits, if we count the non-fun things

I agree with whoever complained about daylight savings. I don't know about horror, but that thing is more trouble than it's worth.

Oh and I'll probably get something like these:

Sounds like the Tories I know.
