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.

Thank you! I’m not generally a sharing kind of person, but am touched by the empathy of cat lovers. She went blind then catatonic very suddenly. We took her to the vet when we realized she wasn’t coming back. We had waited too long with her sister and she died in pain. It was traumatic for us and committed to not letting that happen again. We work from home, so she was with us at all times. The vet was very compassionate about the whole ordeal. They saw us early without waiting and made her and us as comfortable as possible. Whenever I get up from the couch to go to bed at night, I reflexively walk to her spot to say goodnight still. It’ll be a while but we intend to get some kittens to fill the void.

Our 17 year old kitty passed a few weeks ago too. She went peacefully but it’s still painful for us. You don’t care for something that long without it affecting you. We went to a cat cafe connected to the humane society last week and donated her food and treats and spent time with the kittens. It really helped.

I had to choose between Betamax and VHS.
