I was doing a new circuit install at an old hotel that had been gutted and in the process of being remodeled. Of course the MPOE is down in the bowls of the basement and noticed the below sitting on a shelf. Literally can't remember the last time I saw a pop top can, but was listening to Margaritaville on the way in. LOL!!!

Around 1990 we were reworking our basement. When we ripped out the panelling we found an old Budweiser can that had no pull top. It has to be opened with a can opener (flat top/steel ?). Looks like the guys drank it and walled it up for laughs.

Back in the day when every well dressed construction worker had a church key on their key chain.

This one is funny, too:

That reminds me of several customers I've had who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty.

You mean with their fingers ? Why, do you use some other appendage ?

It looks like he's got his fingers pinched holding it, even though it's already in the socket and there is to "edge" there to grab. For this to be workable, he would have had to glue it to the bottom of his fingers! Considering the death grip he appears to have on that capacitor, though, maybe there is more going on than meets the eye.

Yes, they will take it out and lower the coffin about three times!

I've watched the discussion with the guy that invented the USB connector. He tried so hard to make it so it didn't matter which way it was inserted, he fought for it, but the poor USB connector was fighting with 3-4 other connector types for dominance at the time. It added something like $0.17 to the USB connector to make it universal. The powers that be (board/BIOS makers, Intel, etc.) wouldn't accept the higher price so we got a second rate USB port.

I usually use my thumb and pointer finger, line up the notches, and feel it fall into place... I gently wiggle it side to side without putting any downward pressure on it just to feel it is in place, and then I visually inspect it all they way around. I NEVER touch to pins or the bottom of the CPU! At this point, it is locked into place, and I verify the lever clicks under the tab.

From there, I apply the heatsink that usually comes with factory heat-sink compound. In the absence of that, historically I would put about a pea sized amount dead center and smash it down with the heat-sink. With some CPUs I used to put a small strip about 1 CM long in the center. It's been a while.

This belongs on here because only a moron Dell engineer would actually make instructions to actaully actually do it this way.... No way is this going to work; it will trap air.

I'm going to count to three, then snap my fingers. When I snap my fingers you will no longer feel compelled to open every spoiler button.

Hi, Sean, this is Alex from next door.

I have a confession to make. I have been riddled with guilt these past few months and have been trying to get up the courage to tell you face-to-face, but I !!am at least telling you in a text as I cannot live with myself a moment longer without you knowing. The truth is I have been sharing your wife, day and night when you’re not at home. In fact, quite likely more than you. I haven’t been getting it at home recently, but I know that’s no excuse. The temptation was just awesome. I can no longer live with the guilt and hope that you will accept my sincerest apology and forgive me. It won’t happen again. Please suggest a fee for usage and I’ll pay you.
Greetings, Alex.
Neighbour Sean’s Response
Sean, feeling so angered and betrayed, then grabbed his pump rifle and shot his neighbour Alex dead. He returned home, poured himself a stiff drink, and sat down on the couch. Sean took out his phone where he saw a second message from Alex.

SECOND MESSAGE*
Hi, Sean, this is Alex from next door, again.
Sorry about the typo on my last text. I expect that you figured it out and noticed that darned Auto-Correct changed “wi-fi” to “wife.” That’s today’s technology for you, hey?
Greetings, Alex.

Me too! How else would one go about it?

I still don't understand why so many have trouble inserting a USB stick / device properly THE FIRST TIME!

Couple days ago I noticed one of those highway signs on the Mass Pike that the RMV will be closed 3/23-25. They advised plan ahead. LOL!!!
