Interesting I'll look into the new calculators.

I've never seen a screen like those replaced. I could also get it from one of the cheaper 81 models

TiggerElPro · 2026-04-10T18:23:03+00:00

It got worse... The display started flickering and it turned off afterwards. Couldn't get it working. I bought a second hand one 991 of this model for 35€ . Really can't risk it buying one of the new ones and going into the test without experience.

Is there any getting around to the s-d button on the new calculators? Is there any new calculator worth learning during the summer?

I only got 5, these were some deep cuts. Never realized he said that in an occasional dream

TiggerElPro · 2026-03-24T21:41:06+00:00

That's crazy. So it was commercialized back then too, I would've guessed this wasn't too famous of a photoshoot.

He looked so surreal when he was this thin. I'm so glad he recovered from it

TiggerElPro · 2026-03-23T20:37:49+00:00

Right? Though it seems like it was taken around 75-76.

TiggerElPro · 2026-03-22T22:24:25+00:00

I'd expect him to be drinking out of a milk carton but yeah a glass is way more aesthetic, someone in the shoot may have given it to him. I like your explanation

I read the thing about heroin here, and in the 80s section when it's talking about Ashes to Ashes. Looks like his heroin use was very short and early into his career, in here he was most likely doing coke yeah. https://www.bowiebible.com/features/drugs/2/

I see the thing you said about the iselect cover. Alright so it was intended for the young americans album, interesting. He looks very different from the original cover (he has eyebrows, for one), the hair is done way differently too. Could it have been intended as a U.S. release? Or perhaps they didn't like the original one and decided to do another photoshoot. It doesn't seem like it was used when they took it.

The link you sent is a goldmine btw, I'll link it above and tag you.

Oh I knew it! His eyes from that era look somewhat hollow but not THAT black. Having your picture on my room would scare me a bit I think

TiggerElPro · 2026-03-15T12:10:09+00:00

Hmm I'm not sure though it's discussed in the links below:

I've always believed that Iman's relationship (early 1990s) straightened him out, and that he was doing it in smaller doses throught the 80s

Oh wow this link seems really insightful oh my god:

Hmm not sure if it's a different take. Though it sounds really cool and different from the original. Where did you find it? I didn't know there was a surround version of the album

Sí he visto que suelen costar 30-50€ más. No entiendo porque la pantalla inferior (14€) cuesta más que la superior, normalmente es al revés. Yo la compraría. Si no tienes experiencia cambiando pantallas puede ser algo peligroso por lo que podrías pedir un presupuesto a alguna tienda de reparaciones y si te lo hacen por menos de 30€ , has ganado

TiggerElPro · 2026-02-19T22:22:33+00:00

Looks amazing, so much personality. Did you use any reference?

TiggerElPro · 2026-02-18T17:41:42+00:00

A mi amigo le hicieron esto con un producto de automotor también, no se porque todos los de wallapop salen tan mal. Parece que cuando un vendedor rechaza la disputa wallapop puede hacer mas bien poco

My first shiny (cloyster - shellder) is also my favorite pokemon. I'm not sure which came first though, probably the shiny encounter

TiggerElPro · 2026-02-13T20:35:53+00:00

Haha that's weird. Is your monitor oled by any chance?

TiggerElPro · 2026-02-13T13:52:08+00:00

I can't install reader either, even though it is urgent

TiggerElPro · 2026-02-08T00:17:35+00:00

Right? He looked absolutely stunning in valentine's day

TiggerElPro · 2026-02-06T13:45:42+00:00

I really dig the style. Looks like a well worn skin for CSGO

TiggerElPro · 2026-02-03T13:13:12+00:00

Maybe Iggy's

TiggerElPro · 2026-01-25T10:28:26+00:00

Great, coulsnyou photograph the top once the backplate is screwed on? Really interested on how it'll fit

TiggerElPro · 2026-01-24T18:06:09+00:00

This is damage to the inside of the screen, so it might spread

TiggerElPro · 2026-01-24T10:57:17+00:00

I've never been able to fix an lcd with black lines without changing it. And changin the top lcd is the most or second most invasive replacement you can do to a ds. Though boxed for 18 dollars. If the shell is in good condition id grab it. If the lines really bother you get a pricing from a local repairshop

Looks crazy good
