Because the Flames' owners wanted a new stadium.
Take a look for videos. Some are relatively straightforward. Unfortunately, we had one that wasn't.
Honestly, a new one was only 65 bucks CDN. The profit is all in the heads now, just like razor blade cartridges.
It's not the battery (although it does take an uncommon battery, a 14500), it's the disassembly.
You need to soak the base in hot water to soften the plastic clip, then use the charging stand to break the seal and open it up. Once open, there's a delicate metal brackets to unclip and remove. At that point, you need to desolder the battery and the motor, and then start to work on the plastic brackets. This is less than halfway through the process, and it's likely broken.
Some things are extremely repair-hostile. I'm not happy about it, but I'm not going to spend half a day attempting a very unlikely repair.
Hah! I carefully looked at the models available to find out which was the highest-end that didn't have "AI," Bluetooth, a phone app, or any of the other garbage.
Fuck that.
Alberta has a traitor problem.
Yes, but this is RBC. The nicest and least competent of the big five banks in Canada.

Smith doesn't need a mandate to fuck over Alberta. It's fascinating that she didn't hold a referendum oh publicly funding charter and private schools, or on introducing two-tier for-profit healthcare. No, she just decided that she wanted to flaunt Alberta's hatred of Ottawa and brown people. Because let's be honest, anti-immigration sentiment is all about people who look and dress differently. Nobody's going bat an eyelash at Aussies coming over to work the ski hills, unless they're pointed to as the "See, I'm not racist" example.
So we're racist, but we're racist Canadians. Yay us?
To be clear: The questions were deliberately crafted to drive people to the 'yes' vote; and the UCP spent millions of dollars in advertising propaganda telling us which way to vote on the referendum intended to tell them which which way to govern.
That doesn't excuse the fact that this province is racist (and queer-phobic) as fuck, and getting worse all the time.
Then take out the AI, the telemetry, and the bloat like it was the mid-2000s.
Oh wait -that's what Waterfox did.
"Meta lies about, denies Brazillian election interference."
Ooh, I know this one.
Because the US is interfering with their election.
Desperation becomes him.
Meanwhile, we'll continue along.
The light switch was mostly non-functional. Took it all apart and hit it with some contact cleaner.
A second set of switches is on the other side of the hood, and the bracket holding them in place was broken. Spent the last three nights gradually building it back up with hard glue, before reinstalling it with an oversized washer.
Switches on both sides are now working 100%.
Microwave has been on the counter for a few weeks, since neutral on this one kept floating.
Microwave is now back in its cubby, and we have a big increase in counter space.
No, it wasn't a woodworking tour de force (which wouldn't belong here), it was an Ikea desk. The perfect dull furniture.
But it's almost twice as wide as the makeshift worktable I had before, much more stable, and has a drawer pedestal on one side. My oscilloscope fits nicely on it, and there's space to actually work on projects now.
