I hope you find this less exciting than the vacuum cord replacement post, in which I was (rightly) chastised for being vaguely interesting

    I got my 7.1 surround system, which would’ve been very expensive at the time it came out, for $150. The lady who sold it to me said she bought it when she lived with her ex, who set it up, but when she moved, she had no idea how to set it back up. So she bought a sound bar and sold the “old stuff” for the cost. Both happy! She definitely could have bought a more expensive sound bar, though.

    You saved the world like 1500kg of Co2 equivalent with this dullness.

    How interesting.

    Wait, it was actually a tequila cork. I must remain accurate in my reporting of this buckshee repair.

        Where I grew up, it was always contextually used to describe a repair done for little or no money, and often had the connotation that it was a poorly done, temporary, or stop-gap job. So I’m kind of poking a little fun at myself even though I believe very much in my engineering and the materials I used.

    Genius. I’d cut the cork slightly shorter and add those sticky rubber pads you can buy at the dollar atore (meant for furniture legs) over it. So the screw or whatever doesn’t touch the floor and vibrate.

      I have a bunch of rubber caps, I had considered it. But that’s not a screw poking out, it’s a rubber collar to provide rigidity.
