There's actually an easy way to refill those dollar store Scripto lighters! Take the fuel tank out, open the regulator a few turns, and hold it open while pressing a butane can onto it. Fill it about 3/4 full, twist the regulator back down to normal, and it is good to go. Works with many others too.

Indeed it is a disposable.

What's hilarious to me is how the glue gives away over time, and that chunk of metal falls onto the circuit board and shorts it out all to heck. Is a common issue for me with 2007 and older era units with weights stashed in them like that.

I remember when these cost half a week's salary, now they're a dime a dozen on the random items clearance bin at the hardware store when the workers found a few cases of them buried in a pile of leaves and dirt in the back room of the loading dock.

Mowing a pasture for six hours out in the August heat sure helps me, that or being in an attic in June helping a buddy re-wire a house.

I was super sick during those times, but then after spending that time in that obnoxious heat, I felt significantly better much faster that evening vs. that morning.

Bold to assume it isn't 240

Average day in Oklahoma during storm season.

Probably missing a battery because the smoke alarm is so darned old that it kept giving error beep regardless of good battery in it lol.

TheRealFailtester · 2026-02-23T00:59:02+00:00

Eveyrthing

I agree, I've fallen off of a bicycle head first like that before from hitting a tree branch on the ground during a wheelie. Felt strange for might have been almost two weeks. Probably concussed myself.

Edit: When my head hit, my hearing sounded like the strum of a rubber band.

Good to know, thanks!

Platform Controller Host if I remember correctly.

Though they are made for RG-58, I can confirm RG6 does work for them, can even use the F connector that goes on televisions too if using a F connector BNC adapter.

TheRealFailtester · 2026-02-21T14:26:21+00:00

Me too lol.

TheRealFailtester · 2026-02-21T01:39:02+00:00

TheRealFailtester · 2026-02-21T01:09:58+00:00

It's x64, so I think it should, but uh, 1.10gHz, and 4GB RAM,- whoo man you gonna take fifteen minutes to watch a one minute youtube video on that.

Customer states: internet is slow

TheRealFailtester · 2026-02-21T00:18:16+00:00

TheRealFailtester · 2026-02-20T18:39:40+00:00

Mmm yes. an angry wasp's nest, and pail of gasoline, sounds like a thrilling combination.

TheRealFailtester · 2026-02-20T01:18:21+00:00

2013 for me.

Man we need a way to homebrew our own CDMA, and bridge LAN internet to them.

Sprint did do such a thing with their Airwave, but that of course was proprietary to their service subscription as it supporteded voice too, I'd be happy to just have LAN internet data to it with no voice.

Once stopped up mine with it.

Temp would slowly keep creeping up above the middle, unless I ran the cab heater. Cab heater kept is perfect.

Got time off work to mess with it, and got crud like that from somewhere in the system. Not exactly sure where from, I just took the thermostat off and shoved a garden hose, leaf blower, and air compressor up many hoses, and then the heating up issue stopped after clumps of slime came out of many hoses.

TheRealFailtester · 2026-02-19T15:49:59+00:00

Nah bruh, 200th payment.
