wire

Little do they know, tunnels are much more effective when they are a) underground and b) not transparent. Good first attempt, kitties, but better luck next time.

Submitter ariled says their kitchen scale's button cell ran out of power and they didn't have another one. Luckily they had two AA batteries, some wire, and duct tape.

I heard it works four times as fast in a 4x4.

From the submitter:

On the first day of a 3-day trip, I rear-ended this rental car into another car. Instead of trying to find a replacement rental on the 4th of July weekend, I (with the help of the local police!) "fixed" the bumper that was hanging off the car. I then drove it another 400 miles before returning it to the rental place on the 3rd day. I had to stop every once in a while to tighten the wires. It was nerve wrecking!

Now if I could just train my helper monkey to use a lighter... ~Not-So-Handy Andy

You know wire is a thing, right?

Twisted Pair? Check. Unshielded? Super check!

User themna was at the airport and forgot their plug-in phone charger. A little bit of wire, an iPhone charge adapter, and a PSP charger....Voila! Phone is charged!
