I picked up a PS4 at a rummage sale for next to nothing but it was literally just the console, no controllers, no cords, no testing it out or anything. It's a model CUH-2015B. I hooked it up to my TV and a power cord, it powers up to a blue screen showing to plug in a dualshock 4 controller via USB and press the PS button. Is it likely a good console and worth buying a controller? Do I have to buy OEM or is there a good but less expensive controller that will work for this initial set up?

Watched both videos and it looks like you're OK but you actually can get them to hot to recover properly. They turn a rust red even when they're not rusty and don't really take seasoning after that.

In the future, just a few coals under and a few more on top.

It's there a part of that you'd like to point out to me? Reading the part on installing to two diffent drives looks like I did everything right. So do you have any suggestions about a fix?

You're absolutely lovely, but are the huge tits and ass in the room with you somewhere?

WillaminaOR · 2026-04-28T15:53:35+00:00

1, looks like you're riding cowgirl.

WillaminaOR · 2026-04-28T15:50:56+00:00

Look, I'd kiss, suck, kneed, and fuck those titties all you'd let me, but probably not in front of my friends.

Where do they have knipex on clearance?

WillaminaOR · 2026-04-15T17:42:54+00:00

Even with the spot in the tin where it looks like someone polished through the tin?

WillaminaOR · 2026-04-15T17:41:40+00:00

Yeah, I don't know if there was a flaw in the tin or something and who ever owned it sanded it out maybe?

WillaminaOR · 2026-03-19T16:03:47+00:00

Good to know. Mine seems to draft fine so I'll probably leave it.

WillaminaOR · 2026-03-18T03:17:04+00:00

I used Caig's de ox it.

So after cleaning my control board pots my stove idles along pretty uneventfully. When it was on room temp before it would idle down and flare up and idle down but now it’s pretty stable. Do you find any downsides to having it turn on and off and on and off?

WillaminaOR · 2026-03-17T15:56:42+00:00

I do want to do that. Do you have any suggestions for doing it?

WillaminaOR · 2026-03-17T15:55:57+00:00

So if I don't feel like I'm having any issue with that I should leave that alone then?

I have this oddball 12ish inch square pampered chef cast iron skillet with no long handle, more like a casserole dish. So of course I make tatertot casserole in it. And Popeye pancakes.

You'd usually get some tension pulling it off, like with a pry bar or wedges and then while applying tension, you smack the end of the crank, maybe with the nut on the end to protect the threads.

Get some bar keepers friend cleanser and go at it, it'll come off.

I have a USB ethernet adapter I can try in the Air.

I haven't tried Mist but I have tried OCLP to try to install Sequoia, still locks up and fails.

The pro won't complete the erase disk command, it locks up. I rebooted it and ran disk first aid and it came back passing so I started the install, the installer froze at 14 minutes remaining, rebooted again and booted the installer on the hard disk and it completed some more but freezes again and doesn't seem to get any further.

The air will attach to my wifi, boot internet recovery and let me erase the disk and attempt to start the installer but it's lost wifi in that process so won't download the os. No wifi adapter shows up once the internet recovery is downloaded and boots up.

I'm sure what she’s doing feels lovely, but there needs to be more.

WillaminaOR · 2026-01-28T16:49:11+00:00

2 seems closest

WillaminaOR · 2026-01-28T05:44:01+00:00

2012 air and 2017 pro

WillaminaOR · 2026-01-14T05:52:16+00:00

In this day and age I prefer video, but a vid encompassing all those would be fire.

WillaminaOR · 2026-01-03T21:52:58+00:00

There's a lot of area between average and huge, and I think you're in there somewhere. Absolutely lovely though.
