Have a ton to do today....we are getting ready to sell our house. We did things a bit backwards, and actually purchased, and closed on our new home already....so, yeah, slightly stressful. It'll be we'll worth it, as the new place is on over an acre, has a big, deep in-ground heated pool, giant pole barn, and a three car garage (aside from the pool, those aren't the features first on my wife's list). We woke up to a call from our realtor telling us that the previous owner (who's moving out today) called to cancel electrical service, rather than telling us so we could keep it active(minor concern with the sump pump.)

So before I start with a days painting....

Good morning:

I lost a coil screw from my Immortalizer clone in the bathroom at work. I got a hard drive magnet to sweep around the area to try to pick it up, only to find the bathroom closed for cleaning and the trash bags already emptied.

Googled for a while, couldn't find out the screw size, can't find replacement spares in stock in the U.S., so I ordered a couple of complete replacements from Fasttech.

Meanwhile, I have an RDA I can't use. What can I use to replace the missing screw?

Turns out a precision screw from a Dell laptop is a perfect match for threading and size.

And since these are collar screws, I can turn them by hand. I don't have to use a screwdriver to rebuild now.

Here it is all wicked and wired, ready to drip and vape.

At least I didn't have you read Atlas Shrugged. Who is John Galt? He's a shallow plutocrat sent to battle communism, part of the 1%, and a symbol for tragic futility and hopelessness. There you go. I just saved you a few thousand pages of Ayn Rand enjoying her own cleverness, repressed erotic fantasies, and sesquipedalian repetitive rambling. You're welcome. :)

I still recommend the Eragon series, though.

Lol, I know all about Atlas Shrugged. It's an amphetamine-fueled ego trip. I'm glad to know another person that can't stand it! :toast:

I now do have access to the Eragon series, but my fantasy-to-science fiction cycle is currently ramped all the way up to sci-fi. It'll be at the top of my list when it goes back the other way. :)
