    have you completely removed the screw? and no distance isn't always a factor. Especially if internally a chassy extends out towards it.

    yeah, more photos here.

    It COULD be an internal structure, but I think it's unlikely. I'll try smacking it a bit.
    My dog died.

    I am sad.

    man, that sucks.

    I didn't even see it coming. I mean, she was like eighteen years old, but she still seemed so peppy. The vet said she was bleeding internally because of some hemorrhaging off a tumor on her liver or spleen I guess. My dad ended up putting her down.

    Man I'm so sorry to hear that
    I've had so many animals go and it never gets easier, they really become part of your life
    Eighteen years is an amazing life for a dog, i bet she was wonderful.

    Man, she was one of a kind. The first female dog I ever saw hump stuff. She'd gather up blankets in a ball or couch pillows and go to town on them.

    Thanks for the condolences guys, really.

    Hmm, there online chat is offline.
    There phone numbers are

    +44 208 655 7598 - (International)
    in case you have a good long distance plan.

    If you're unable to remove the screw try a very small flat head tweaker placed on the edge of the screw head and use another screwdriver as you remove it. Eventually you might be able to get the screw out by slowly prying it up with the flathead as you spin it. You'll definitely have to have the screw completely removed to remove the case.

    Yeah, that's probably the source of the problem. The screw is completely loose but for some reason won't come all the way out. I'll have a go at prying it out.

    shit, people could at least tell me so I can make plans and go do something instead of sit around waiting all day.
    shit's boring

    Nah don't worry, I got hit with that loads of times before back during high school.


    It rarely happens nowadays, but usually i'll bring something to work on while i'm waiting around so i'm not wasting my time. If nobody shows up in 15-ish minutes, i'll either bounce right there or call the person to see what's up. If there's no reply i'll get up and leave; if they pick up and tell me they're on the way i'll stick around for another 15.

    Works out pretty well.

    Hope it work out for you. You'll possibly find some of the plastics broken when you do eventually crack it open. I'd call the company and inform them that the screw was spinning to begin with, and possibly be returned under a warranty.

    You might also try to inform them that you're unable to use the "last time I've had sex" feature of the alarm clock due to its lack of a second timer.

    It might help in the RMA process.

    We went to one junk yard, and the dudes were really helpful, and told us where some stuff might be. We bought 280 pounds of iron for $70. Then I buy like 20 pounds of sheet from this other place and they gouge the hell out of the price and I end up paying $20.

    Silly geese.

    It's not the strategy so much as the mindset.

    It's thinking you'll make it rich by charging 2 bucks for rent simply because you're the first, closest thing to payday. It's preying on desperation and impatience by collecting and saving other people's garbage. It's assigning an arbitrary value to a worthless item as a reflection of your own self worth and then railing against god and fate when someone else throws their two dollars at you and walks away laughing, and realizing all too late that your value in the world is tied up in the things around you because you made it that way yourself.

    That's why you never, ever, buy the cheap lots.

    Well, as far as I know, I've never had my allergies be this bad. I usually get a sinus headache or two or a runny nose. But today i've had a leaky faucet installed where my nose used to be and been sneezing and coughing up a lung while shivering.

    My roommate gave me some Clari-tin a few hours ago (since I rarely get allergies bad enough to worry about, i didn't have any) and that's taken care of me pretty good. Medicine is awesome :)

    Sorry to hear that, DDV. :C

    My mom's black toy poodle (female) was also the first female dog I'd seen hump anything. It's actually completely hilarious - she has a "tiny pink dog" toy, and sometimes when she humps it, her backside ends up in the air, with her legs off the ground, kicking furiously.

    How does one test for allergies? I assume it would be some sort of scientific process, but in my mind it's just a couple of guys in lab coats, a patient strapped to a chair and a box full of random objects.

    "Okay, lets try this cat."
    "Nope, nothing."
    "Peanut-butter"
    "No."
    "Okay, what if we smeared peanut-butter on the cat and..."
