Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

They pay me in WOIMS

Makes sense.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Great tagline, Tom. I love that song, especially that line.

I'm clearly in the wrong part of the audio business.

Just need to sell a couple of those a year to make a living.

Argh. The charging port on my kindle is loose or something, and will only charge/transfer things when I hold it juuuuuust so. Just went and checked--it's 14 months old. Hrmph, Amazon. Not impressed.

Check and see if there's a build of of dust or grit or other junk in the port, that can cause the cable to not seat quite correctly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Semi-related: I got the warranty on my latest earbuds at Radio Shack, hoping it would actually be worth it. And? TOTALLY WORTH IT. When they started crapping out, I just went in and they gave me a new set. No questions, no testing the equipment, just a new set.

A+ would buy again.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If it's not the grit that ND suggested, it sounds like a loose solder connection.

Is it a Kindle Fire? It seems to be mentioned as a common repair.

the repair vids don't seem too intimidating, so repair is possible.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Have any of you heard about this Apple ID issue? [link]

Nope, it's a plain not-even-paper white kindle. I tried blowing anything out of the port space, but may have to find a can of air and try again. Luckily it's fairly fully charged at the moment--I depend on the thing!
