I remember upping my ram from 2MB to 4MB, while I had a 6GB hard drive.

Sigh.

Yeah. Totally butchered.

Dang. I had kind of hoped this had been increasing a bit over the months.

You're doing it wrong. The mouse just diced a cucumber really, really l, small.

Sure it was at the same time? Did the account for leap seconds?

I told a joke in 6th grade (sorry, it involves drawing and is a little Johnny joke, so can't be typed out and be funny). The punchline was good and inappropriate, of course. My teacher overheard and laughed slightly, then said she was sorry, but she had to send me to the vp's office for it.

Naturally, the vp wanted to know the joke, so I asked for paper and busted it out on him. He outright laughed.

He said he wouldn't feel right punishing me after he laughed at my joke and just made me promise to not tell it at school again.

This was in the beforetimes of internet, but you can probably find a version of it somewhere. Good jokes never die. Without ruining the punchline, I'd try searching "little Johnny school drawing mountain horizon". Hopefully the internet hasn't butchered it.

Now that's how a short story is written!

Them and everyone else. Why unions are finally on the rise again. The idiots have stopped being brainwashed by the ultra wealthy telling them unions are bad.

And that was a long time and a lot of inflation ago.

Yeah. They really blew that one. Still not as bad as live action DragonBall or ATLA, though.

No, but it's a great source to get stuff if they can get the parts, and all their tools should work well. If their batteries aren't OEM ones, they won't try to pass them off as such.

I've been fixing cell phones since the 90's, along with a lot of other electronics, so most of my equipment has been a hodge-podge of sources I've collected over the past 25 or so years.

In the case of the battery I just got for my N20 Ultra, there is no source I could come up with that sold in the US and also seemed verifiable or completely trustworthy so I had to take a risk and order through a supplier off ebay. The pictures looked legit and like what I know the oem's look like, and they had the correct looking adhesive and protective coverings on the batt, plus I messaged the seller back and fourth a couple of times and they stayed on their claim they had new oem batts, even after I'd mentioned I would capacity test the battery and leave them a review.

Now, I still won't know for sure for a few more days. I'll drain the batt to phone shut off and then charge to 100% plus 2 more hours a couple times, and then drain to shut off and charge it to 100% + 2 hours one more time while leaving the phone off and using my in line voltage/mah tester. Knock off batteries never get very close to an oem batts capacity.
