Get you a screw extractor set. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Jellas-Extractor-Burnishing-Extracting-Extension/dp/B07Y7VV7RK/ref=psdc_2225074011_t3_B07GZ17QD9

As you screw the extractor counter clockwise to loosen the screw the extractor will dig in more to grab the head of the screw to back it out.

I feel weird using screw extractors on something so small and near the Switch's internals

Theres an RC thread over in AI. Pretty good too. A lot of good talk about racing, crawlers and bashing.

I see you got yourself a 4wd stampede. Mine is a 2wd VXL. Welcome to the world of having fun for about a half hour before you either break something or decide you wanna go faster. Either way you're spending at least $50 at the hobby shop.

My husband bought an Atomic Purple shell off Amazon for my Switch and installed it for my birthday this year :3: What another poster said is true, it's a more glossy plastic... Also of note, it makes the JoyCons much louder. The clicks the buttons make, but especially the rumble.

Something to think about if you're interested.

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
I bought a 2nd hand laser printer, 20 euros for this black & white only Brother HL-2240D. Good enough for me, we print very little and our old inkjet always dried up.

Only thing I don't like is no ethernet port. But you can apparently buy small dedicated print servers now, USB to Wireless. Might do that, just use the my own PC as server for now.



Also bought:

New pressure switch for my compressor.


New motor for my shopvac.


Acid brushes


Dovetail cutter for the mill (cheapo chinese stuff, half suspect it will break at once)

I'm reasonably sure I bought this exact printer over a decade ago, it's been absolutely flawless and is still on the original toner cartridge.

I bought a used Brother 3170CDW color laser (well LED) wireless for I wanna say $40 a few years ago and it's been great for printing the odd thing at home, mainly shipping labels. I'd be surprised if I printed 50 pages/year.

Maybe not the fastest or best on ink, but it's still on the original cartridge even though Windows has said low toner for a long time.

If you have issues with your ankles or over/under-pronation, these are pretty soft and squishy and likely won't help. You'd prob want something with a stiffer sole or an insert. I always recommend looking at hiking shoes as they're still pretty comfy and light, but have stiffer insoles cuz they're built for a day of hiking with a backpack on.

I would be up and down for 8.5 hours at my day job, and then go do another 5 hours at my part time in retail wearing Adidas with cloudfoam and my feet felt great all day.

Actually, I just replaced my pair of Questars with cloudfoam after close to a year of use. The soles are still comfy but the stitching on mine is starting to fray.

I don’t have any diagnosed issues with support, pronation or ankles but I would bet money I’ve done damage from wearing vans and converses for the last 2 decades. I’m just trying to be smarter with how I treats my feets.

It's the quarantine, so that means I'm doing puzzles. My parents had the bottom two already (Office and Beach), and I just ordered one on eBay, the Fitness Center.



I'm going to try to get the other three, City Hall and High School, and probably get the "Kids" one that's only 100+ pieces, just for completion.

I'm not sure about this model, but for some of the really old brother laser printers, I think the generic toner has gotten more expensive. It used to be like $5 a cartridge but maybe nobody's bothering to make it any more.

I called my guy at the shop and found out he had this one in her size. It helps that she liked the color, but there were really no other options at this price point. If for some reason she wanted something else it would have jumped from $800 to $2200. Asking around and it seems like all of the entry level stuff is sold out, which makes sense because I’ve seen a huge increase in people riding bikes out here since quarantine.

My guy said their backlog for bike maintenance is like 5 weeks as well... I can’t find the photo but he’s got basically a garage full of old Walmart huffys and other poo poo waiting to be tuned up because suddenly people want to ride their bikes.

It’s cool and good, but god drat is there a lot of traffic on my bike path.
