He was allowed to run because McConnell stonewalled Obama and let Trump select a bunch of Supreme Court appointees, which then decided that trump can't be held accountable for anything.

Then everyone decided the rule of law was important, except trump, which means he's steamrolling every safeguard we had.

Trump has been threatening and posturing for 10 years. The second he was elected the economy started to react to everything he has said and done up to that point.

He's been indirectly impacting the economy for years, and directly impacting it since November.

I'm sorry I called you a knob, that's an insult to knobs. You're actually much, much worse.

No deal with Trump has ever been secure. The only thing he is the king of is reneging on deals.

Anyone who actually wants a payment from trump needs 100% payment upfront, otherwise you're just getting a small fraction of the agreed upon deal, if anything.

This is the greatest thing I've ever read.

Not all cd players had an accessible lens. A car deck had a slot insert and there was no way to get at the lens without disassembling the whole thing.

Computer CD players also had a tray that extended so the lens was mostly hidden.

Boomboxes and portable CD players had pop up lids where you could see the lens, but there were probably an equal number of players where you couldn't access it.

Super Mario Brothers is what brought video games into the household.

This one game is why every game system was called "a Nintendo" for decades. Yes, other games came along and changed the landscape dramatically, but SMB1 created that foothold into the home.

Literally the only thing I code in at work. Have done so for decades.

Can't stop, won't stop.

I write code every day at my job. I use vim.

It does everything I need it to do, and it works exactly the same way on every system I touch, and functions the same way since I started using it decades ago (aside from being able to use arrow keys now instead of hjkl)

If I HAVE to do any coding on Windows, I use notepad++.

... if they can design and print a case they probably already owned a 3d printer. The amount of plastic used to make the small case is likely just a few grams. Probably around $1 of plastic total.

Yes, the article is pretty light on details since it's just a rehash of a couple of comments with no actual reporting, but don't blame the person for designing and printing a neat little case for their hobby. This is a perfectly acceptable way to repair and continue to use some broken electronics.
