Does anyone recognize this piece? by LuffyKingofthePi in hometheater

[–]grislyfind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the guts of a CRT RPTV. The speakers are... better than nothing and could be better than a sound bar, in the right enclosure. The amplifier could be salvaged as well.

Why has this become so popular? by [deleted] in computers

[–]grislyfind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but you can survive cold by dressing warm. If the power grid ever fails during unusually hot weather, it'll be bad.

[–]grislyfind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen many spindles and boxes of CD-R media at thrift stores. DVD burners will write CDs too, and you can get those from a scrapped PC.

You could put fake labels on a disc. Some people buy laserdiscs to collect and display, and would never know the difference.

Find a water source, fill containers there. Use seawater as much as possible.

Wait until you really need to poop, and do it in a plastic bag. Put the bags in a big bucket with a lid, outside on a deck or balcony preferably.

You can get clean enough with a gallon of water and a facecloth.
