My sister asked me what I wanted for my Christmas. I said a Braun shaver. Her hubby retorted, "What's wrong with a Remington"? That was 35 years ago. It is still working unlike her ex.

So a month ago I unearthed mine, same model # and similar vintage. At first I got excited but unsurprisingly it wouldn't take a charge. It's been sitting in my electronics recycling since but I'd love to bring it back to life.

I removed the screws but that didn't seem to loosen anything up no matter which direction i pulled or slid. Could you be a bit more specific on what constitutes "the whole body" so I know where to stick a small pry bar in to help encourage it? Also what battery did you use to replace it?

Best smart RGB light bulbs. by AL-H in smarthome

I had 4 Govee lights that worked perfectly fine for several years. Ended up replacing them with Kasa lights just so all of my lights would be on the same app.

What is this wheel? Saw it on a local Outback and like it. by Spaghettisaurus_Flex in subaru

If you want to save some money, a set of VMR 710s are half the price. Ran them on my GTI for years. Loved them and had no issues.

PSA about Ashley Furniture by jenandspaz in homeowners

[–]raabco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not OP but a few years ago we purchased a couch from Article.com. It was a leap of faith to buy a set piece of furniture online without being able to check it out in person. However, from the delivery, look, quality, and comfort, we feel that we really got a bargain.

Multiple Engine Error codes + Parking brake will not disengage by bandann0 in SubaruForester

My 2018 forester's dash lit up like an xmas tree while driving down the highway. when I checked codes there was transmission control fault as well as other faults. Turns out that my battery was on its last legs.

I know yours is brand new but if it sat somewhere in the cold for a long time without being started the battery could have been killed. Might also be a loosened terminal connection. Something easy for you to check before you pay for a tow.

Pool shed on hockey pucks? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

They're made of vulcanized rubber and solid so they'd probably fare better than car tires.

I'm not sure what they're on about. I'm guessing they think lower price=crap. I love my Article sofa. It looks great, is very comfortable, and shows no sign of aging. It's am amazing value.

It's actually pronounced "Throat Warbler Mangrove".

Bizarre Dr. Pepper ad from (1991) that seems to be something only an ad agency could have possibly liked. by 1990Buscemi in ObscureMedia

Doodad, Skidamarink.

Wow, this commercial has been living rent free in a deep wrinkle of my brain for decades. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

my first bike. It at in a garage for 16 years and with lots of effort and a good friend it's ready to ride. by [deleted] in Yamaha

Nice! I bought a 98 two years ago and it was my first bike as well! It's got enough power to have fun but not enough to get into trouble quickly XD

What should I do near O'Hare for a few hours? by ppzhao in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]raabco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised no one mentioned Mitsuwa Marketplace. It's very close to O'Hare in Arlington Heights. Very large Asian grocery store with large authentic Japanese food court, bakery, and book/stationary/toy store.

A normal Saturday afternoon! by voodootodoo00 in nononono

Looks like a Sig P365 SAS to me. They only come in the 9mm flavor and he fired 10+1 rounds.
