Plumbing warehouses must be the wealthiest businesses in the world.

It was a good business decision - because it meant consumers can't repair their devices, and therefore have to buy new ones.

But it's terribly anti-consumer.

How old?

That happened to my old Honda when gas tank silt started coming up in chunks. It's been better since I had my gas tank scrubbed out.

Yeah, Nintendo has long been anti-right to repair, as evidenced by its products.

It's infuriating, because the parts are cheap and easy to come by.

Until someone designs a "slab" shell that eliminates the hinge, we'll continue to see consoles like yours end up in the trash. :(

Oh, I know there's better butter out there. But I'm trying to keep my goals attainable.

Top screen?

It is absurdly difficult to work on 3DS series top screens. I repair handhelds, and I don't know anybody who voluntarily works on top screens.

The problem is the hinge. Even if you do everything right, those ribbon cables will tear on the hinge if you even look at them wrong. And the ribbon cables are permanently attached to the screens, so if you tear the cable you've ruined the whole screen.

Since you've tried the repair yourself, you know how difficult it is.

Sadly, you're unlikely to find anyone reputable to do the work.

He is not.

A tariff is a tax that increases the price of imported goods.

Tariffs are used to push people toward domestic alternatives to imported goods.

However, today, there are no domestic alternatives to most important goods.

So, all it's doing is increasing the burden on the average person.

Companies are not going to invest in domestic production. They are going to spend that money lobbying to have tarriffs removed. Because guess what? Once tariffs go away, consumer prices are not going to go back to what they used to be. Instead, megacorps are going to pocket the difference as profit.

Hostile takeover of the entire U.S. dairy industry under the guise of creating better conditions for dairy cattle.

True goal: start making butter that's as good as Kerrygold.

That does sound like potential bipolar disorder.

Either way, there are medications that should be able to help with your symptoms.

Good luck!

It's not true that you can't be given a diagnosis.

It's good that you'll be speaking to a psychiatrist, because those could be signs of certain disorders. For example, you could have bipolar disorder.

Bold move, pairing cocaine with loaded potato skins.
