I started Black Summer because they were short and I was bored, but soon became hooked and binged all of them. Excellent stories in a crowded genre.

I randomly came across Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency on Hulu and it quickly became one of my all time favorites. Super interesting characters.

I loved Hudson Hawk. The story was bonkers, the musical numbers were entertaining and had a great ending.

I tried the wire method on one before and it worked well, but took FOREVER to get through. It felt riskier than the spudger method to me, so I never did it again.

iPhone batteries can somewhat reliably be removed that way in my experience. They have a nice pull tab you can get to with tweezers. Sometimes for the laptops if it swells enough it can peel away enough of the adhesive for an easy pull too. I’ve been lucky a few times, but the ones that are stuck on good don’t tend to come easily. I hope more than anything they take the risk seriously and plan. A burning battery is terrifying.

I’ve done a bunch of these for a repair shop. Lots of different ways suggested on line for how to do it, but what worked best for me was a wide nylon spudger tool wet with high proof alcohol. Slow and steady making sure not to puncture or fold the battery. Have a plan ready to go if it goes up in flames. We had a metal bin full of sand to toss things in to. Good luck!

This is true! I worked for Blockbuster Video when Titanic came out. I still to this day have to turn off that damn song when it comes on.

Loved Laura hasn’t slept and lights out. I’ve gotta check out the rest. Thanks!

I play Trailmakers which is like Legos where people mostly build planes and tanks to shoot each other, but I build cranes, forklifts, trucks and boats and fill them with the barrels and crates from around the maps and move them to other places. Very peaceful and rewarding to me.

I’ve used the torch and cold pull methods successfully, but have had great luck with a cheap set of acupuncture needles from Amazon. I would pre-heat on the printer and just poke the needle in there a bit and feed filament through.

Persona 5-It allowed me to do a much quicker play through without all of the grinding. Starfield-There were a bunch of new dialog options that were aware of you already playing through before, new gear and ship and ways to do things differently exclusively for new game plus. I hope other games start doing this.
