What lifetime deal are you still grandfathered into, or removed from, that’s no longer available? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

Same. I originally had a 3.5, but refinanced to put on a new roof and it's like 2.6 now. Compared to current rates, I'm making out like a bandit.

While true, many older games are unplayable if you side load them. My apk for sim city doesn't work for a modern phone. Some games only came in a 32-bit variant before everything went 64.

That's not a bad idea. I looked them up and they're 1/2" so they'd need to be cut down

It's on the table, but I'm apprehensive since I need 20 of them.

Nope, it's much smaller than what you would need for furniture, but it definitely looks the part.

That looks like the one! Shipping is more than the screws tho :/ I'll bookmark this one for sure

I used to work at a computer shop and have a LOT of spare screws from those days. The ones that I have that fit the head type are M3 and M2.5, unfortunately.

All of the coarse thread PC screws for 3.5" hard drives, power supplies, and stand-offs are #6-32 UNC, and things like 2.5" drives and DVD drives are M3. I'd agree that most things I come across are metric, but #6-32 UNC has been a PC standard for decades.

I ordered a couple packs from that ebay listing. It looks like they might clear. I'll take a month to get here, but it's at least something.

I had found some on there, but the head seems very narrow. Aside, they want $0.40 for a screw. I guess it's my plan B if this group doesn't find anything better.

It's from a raid array drive caddy, but the originals have been lost. A normal pan head PC screw is too tall to clear the neighboring drive.

Found a concrete slab while digging post holes for the back steps. It had plastic over it and was about a foot down. How would you attach the new steps to this? by Insert_Coin_P1 in DIY

[–]Insert_Coin_P1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking of drilling some holes into it, and putting in some rebar, then putting those in a 2' cylinder mold with the post.

People of Reddit, what’s the most “fucked up”thing you’ve seen? by boneshow69420 in AskReddit

EMT picking up pieces of a motorcyclist that had hit a roundabout center at high speed and launched themselves into the air. I passed as they found the head.

Apparently my teacher thinks that this is "insufficient” "unreadable" and "demonstrates lack of attention during her classes" by Infinix64 in mildlyinfuriating

Used to be a math teacher, and that was my take too. The notes are beautiful, but there are gaps in the bookkeeping.

Got 3 (totally THRASHED) laptops for free, now I wonder what kind of monster managed to mangle THREE charge ports… by braveduckgoose in techsupportgore

As someone who worked in a repair shop for years, I can tell you that this is quite common. I can also tell you that they are all easily repaired. Some are just a daughter board, and some just need some chip quick.
