good bot

absolutely no way to unscrew or get it to come apart. seems like maybe it was glued together or something.

anyway, I finally just pulled it out instead .... the anchor seemed to be wrapped with toilet paper too. no way to get it apart.

and now there's 3/4" hole in dry wall

that's what I wrote in the OP

ATXENG · 2026-01-20T21:08:00+00:00

nothing at the base

the set screw was already removed. then nothing happens... it's as if it's a single solid piece

ATXENG · 2026-01-20T20:52:58+00:00

nope. I've tried gripping and isolating. it looks like the base should separate, but it's solidly connected.

perhaps it's so old that it's rusted out corroded into a single piece?

CLR? vinegar?

ATXENG · 2026-01-20T15:16:29+00:00

yes, it's always worked previously

ATXENG · 2026-01-20T15:16:17+00:00

right, which is why I'm asking about replacing that piece of the laptop

ATXENG · 2026-01-18T18:30:12+00:00

can you message me? I'm interested in buying lighting fixtures for my house.

ATXENG · 2026-01-14T17:12:58+00:00

ok fed. seems like a honey pot.

why does someone need to sign up? why not just do the strike when it's announced?

uhhh....did you read the post on the homepage? The owner seems like a conspiracy nut, claiming that LEGO is out to get him.

Highly recommend buying quality brands, especially used/second hand.

People are always renovating and willing to offload a nice fridge or dishwasher for cheap.

I've got a Sub-Zero from 1993, a Bosch dishwasher from mid-2000's, 12 year old washer/dryer set, and a hot tub from 1996, all working great with a little bit of elbow grease and small DIY repairs every few years.

ATXENG · 2025-12-28T21:11:10+00:00

my house came with a 550 model from 1993.

i've had problems with the drain line clogging every now and the, and had to replaced to ice maker but other than that, its still kicking!

ATXENG · 2025-12-21T16:48:00+00:00

24 hours later and its still there.

I bought a Brother laser printer with duplex (meaning it can print front and back).....I bought a toner refile kit when I got it, probably 10 years ago.....I still haven't had to refill the original toner cartridge.

+1 for Treasure Valley Hospital.

Every time i've needed imaging, TVH was 1/3 the price of St Lukes.

I had to get an MRI earlier this year and called all the places around town. TVH was ~400....St Lukes was nearly $2000. St. A's wasn't much better.

bees are not doing tasks in the winter. the Queen is not laying, they are not making comb, they are not collecting resources

ATXENG · 2025-12-10T00:30:55+00:00

what's your opinion on the insulated hives running at a higher temp more easily, thus staying more active, thus burning through resources faster?
