Oil in the car. Last weekend discovered I was pretty severely low. Below the fill line. Oil was completely black. In a panic added two quarts of 10w-40 then read on the fill cap that it’s supposed to take 5w-30. Got the oil changed today. Big relief.

Nono not the charging brick (that still works.) The CABLE I think is dodgey. I’ve tried charging off the nook brick, iphone brick, random bricks, an actual brick, my computer, my laptop, my parent’s laptop, and the library computers. No Joy on any of them.
The replacement battery worked like a freaking charm so it’ll USE power, it just can’t get any to the battery.

Hmmm… the Nook I had (have?) has a special extra-long micro-usb charging plug that delivers extra current.
I can charge my Nook with a regular charger but it charges slow, or I can use the nook charger to charge other devices but it doesn’t plug all the way in.
I probably have a different model than you have, though… it’s pretty old.

It’s not really replacing, but I bought a “new” (last seasons) St Pauli shirt, with rainbow flags on the sleeves.
Yes, I know. A left-winger who supports FC St Pauli, it’s unoriginal and jumping on the bandwagon. I just wish that more football clubs were like them.
Carlisle united would still get my support, in the unlikely occasion of a match between the two.

What is that??
I know it’s something awesome, but I’m still a little afraid to ask.
If I need “hot gas” I’ll jerryrig something a lot more dangerous. Probably involving home-made pressure vessels, and boiling liquids, and a shitton of solder. And probably open flame.

So you’re onto your second Peacekeeper Hot Gas Generator? The first one didn’t last?

Looked up “hot gas generator” all I got was industrial drying stuff

@peregrinus_bis It’s a paperweight! An absurdly heavyweight paperweight. About 12 lbs. I’d guess.
@LDoBe it’s a scale model of an MXHGG, part of the Peacekeeper fast launch system. A fairly terrible thing, that my father and I both worked on back in the days of mutual assured destruction.
@tekna2007 don’t know what happened to the old one, this one was Dad’s. The real thing is one use only, because if the Peacekeepers ever break sky, humanity ends.
It used to be pretty much impossible to work on spaceships without also working on this sort of thing. When Challenger went up, there was a two year hiatus in the space program, so I left aerospace and went into industrial engineering, rather than work exclusively on genocide machines, and I never went back.
