Inspector 34 posted:Serious question, did box springs ever provide anything besides being a platform for your mattress? With older mattresses, having a box spring would reduce overall wear, help the springs wear more evenly, improve shock absorption, and give the mattress (and you) better support than just putting it on a flat surface. They were meant for old school "two-sided" mattresses, that you would have to flip once in a while to make sure the springs wear evenly. Modern "one-sided" mattresses (built after THE YEAR 2000) don't need box springs, because they have supportive foundations built-in. Nowadays, box springs are pretty much only used for height.

I guess this is some American/Anglo thing again because in most cases, the box spring is the mattress  You just have a thin mattress pad on top of it so that you can use sheets.*) At least that's what Google translate tells me they're called. e: I mean you'd have a mattress pad on top of a regular spring mattress anyway.

Here that's apparently called a yankee bed

A lunch break trip to goodwill ended up being a good choice: Her name is Reba the All-Consuming, and I'm hoping she works or I'll have to return her, gotta buy some d-batteries when I get off work.

Even if you don't know electronics or have a voltmeter to check the components, it could be something as simple as a lead from the battery compartment having come loose or maybe corroded terminals or something. I just got a pretty decent portable shortwave cheap for that last reason. Also, I never find anything good at my local thrifts

I just got a pretty decent portable shortwave cheap for that last reason. Truth right here. My old roommate picked up an amplifier for $5 because the remote control didn't work. Turns out someone over tightened a screw on the board with the IR receiver and cracked the board. I soldered on two wires to bridge the contacts across the crack and it was as good as new. Also, returning stuff to a thrift store is ridiculous. Who does that?

My wife returned some kid's dvd she bought last week because we already had them. They are very forgiving with their return policy. Dealing with meltdows when netflix freezes up makes it worth it to scour there DVD section from time to time.

Scrub some of that gunk off and it might be a decent cymbal underneath! (I bet that has some sweet tone, my drummer is trying out some new cymbals and it's fun to listen) I gave more money to iRacing because Dirt got released this week and it's rad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltboE-WP5IE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGq0ciCSbKk The Science Goy has a new favorite as of 06:17 on Apr 2, 2017 |

I'm not 100 percent sure if you're kidding or not, but it's a Sabian "Big & Ugly" series - all the cymbals in the line are deliberately heavily weathered and beaten-up looking. Sounds awesome though! Next up: Vanguard hats and a Vanguard crash.

Sounds awesome though! Sarcasm for the first part. Does that treatment give them a darker tone or anything? My drummer has been messing with a Zildjian Trashformer. Stacked with a small splash, both upside down, it's got a really cool dirty sound with quick decay.

I may go back to the same sale, as pretty much all they have left are little micro chinas and splashes and really cheap stuff - might be nice to mess around with some of those for making trash hits.

Goodwill has been taking anything remotely worth buying and instead of selling it for cheap in their stores they sell it on their own ebay type site. https://www.shopgoodwill.com/ Most of the non-clothing stuff in the stores now are because their people deem it not really of value.
