I last repaired a cassette I got yesterday.... It wouldnt play well,it sounded sluggish like it had gotton wet....Well first look @ the window in the cassette showed that stupid plastic sheet on both sides so I figured this was the reason......

I opened the cassette which was popped together (I easily opened it with a knife wedged in the front)

THERE WERE NO ROLLERS IN IT!!!!! -- What kind of moron put this together?? -- NO WONDER IT DIDNT PLAY WELL!!!!!!!!! (It is a 1981 album)

I just happend to have a new cassette (BLANK) that has screws so I opened it and put the tape into the new cassette and she plays fine... (DEF LEPPARD - HIGH N DRY)

Well.... The first time I played it when it got to the last song on side 1 (Bringing on the hardbreak) it was a bit sluggish and IM NOT SURE WHY.... When it played side 2 though it was fine....... (I hope maybe something was stuck in the tape from the original shell and hadnt fallen out yet)


Boy.... NO ROLLERS!!!!!!! -- How stupid and unresponsible to make something like this AND LET IT OUT!!!!!! (Like they didnt care that it wouldnt work well)

Changed keyboard on a Chromebook. Need to do it on another one today if I find the time and an otherwise busted chromebook to take the keyboard from. It's really easy though.

The door knob to my bathroom. It's a good thing someone was there to slide a knife under the door otherwise I would have had to break the door down, since the latch snapped in half.

Has anyone ever attempted self-surgery?

My sister had surgery for an ingrown toenail. I had the same issue and dealt with it myself. Sterilized it with rubbing alcohol. rubbed it down with benzocaine. Dug it out with tweezers and pliers. Bandaged it up. After a week or so, it was good as new!

I have a high pain tolerance.
