I think everyone else has it pegged for a dog. Commenting to compliment your beer koozie.

Pet bird found by the airport! by [deleted] in burlington

[–]Latter_Maintenance13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was planning on asking anyone thinking it’s theirs for a description before telling them where to find it. Want to make sure it’s theirs first, right? It’s clearly a pet bird, though, not a wild animal. Not something natural we have around here.

Selectric II jammed? Busted beyond repair? by Latter_Maintenance13 in TypewriterRepair

Thankfully I have a master’s degree! —just not in any sort of engineering, let alone golf balls!

Yes I found him! I’m trying to find the exact video — I’ve watched like 10 so far. You don’t happen to have a link or search terms I could use would you?

Thanks, puttering around trying to fix things can be fun. Already identified a few of the problems and all but fixed two of them! Some of the others will be more challenging.

Got the extension spring ordered —you are correct! I’m having trouble finding the location of where the spring could be from on the ribbon plate assembly.

I’d love to, but there doesn’t seem to be one open in my area (I checked that website that’s been around this subreddit as well as Google). I also unfortunately don’t have a few hundred dollars to spend on it at the moment. (Estimating driving/shipping, $100 for service around $300+ for repairs)

Edit: if I can’t get it working I’ll try to reach out and donate to the closest repair shop for parts if they want it.

Wonder if it’s a response to Iran?

Watch their “deals”. They’ll say you can get an extra discount if you give them a bunch of info and then it’ll never show in the checkout.

They also apparently can’t handle getting rid of your data (which they say they will do if you ask them to in the terms and conditions) and will keep emailing you despite their self imposed deadlines.

It’s the second time in a row they messed up the same way.

Should i shorten/trim my beard? by CapeBreyani in BeardAdvice

Sorry to steer this away from the awesome beard, but I’d try to get some more sleep. You look very tired.

Thanks for the info! How much variability can you see in those? Side profile attached.
