So opens one up with a tin opener.Or you (OP), might come home, to her saying "We are going to REALLY enjoy those treats you left for me. They will be finished from their high temperature oven cooking soon."Quote from: MrSlack on March 06, 2016, 05:50:15 pmThanks.Stating the obvious. They are easy to make. You just make one. Remember to install the latest google AI MCU unit. Then switch it on and tell it how many more copies of itself to make.

content: . Love it! Very artful arrangement, and you even used an odd number of them, which I'm told is the proper way to do plantings and decorations and whatnot.Towards the end, I think I did it (the annoying your SO part) simply by existing.-Pat

So the cat searched and searched, and found some hiding in your Tek 453. So the cat attacked them, the only way it knew how to.MrSlack, are you named after your "Slack" fence ?

content: If only it did. Perhaps I should charge them up and put catnip on themIt is an evil cat - messes and destroys eveything. The scope was on and it pissed into the back where the HV unit is by looks of the damage it caused. If I pull anything blue and heavy looking out of the cupboard it goes out for the night now so hopefully it made itself part of a short path to ground and learned a lessonSlack:https://youtu.be/BbHjybg50BU

Who would gang up, get in his home, and then each of them would line up with a different piece of his favorite electronics lab collection equipment, and destroy it via obnoxious liquid attacks.His cat has already tested and proved that the technique works. He/she has just not worked out how to open up the garden.

She's just permanently, deeply annoyed. Something to do with having endured through years in the Pol Pot death camps.But personally, I don't understand why you'd want to play irritating tricks on someone you care for?

content: She noticed finally and has moved them to the other side of the glass i.e. outside. I can only say well played. She's sitting opposite me looking proud of herselfAs for why we do this: it's pretty normal. Makes like more interesting and gives if something to laugh about. This is all in jest. I've been on the end of many more.

content: For some year or so my wife and I had a little semi-flexible model of the Pink Panther (as in Peter Sellers movies), it had a bit of wire in the arms and legs and would move spontaneously around the house, car etc. into various positions. One of the funniest, after a big party, the following morning was found "driving the porcelain bus".

content: They're date coded week 26 1977 so I'm not sure they're worth that much but ESR is still low and they're in tolerance and vents aren't popped so should still be good.Still trying to decide on capacitor bank or ebay as the fate of these.
