As much as I love the convenience of living in the post-Amazon world of online ordering and door-to-door delivery, things like that prompt me to keep buying certain things at actual stores.

If you buy from me, you'll always* receive new parts.

Well, that is what I like about the German law... its all about contracts and if you are violating a contract, the result is defined. Especially, new means new and not used or "on display". And that especially if you trade via internet or telephone.
Sadly it only applies to Germans, which means buying from strange sellers at Amazon is already dangerous, because Amazon pretends they are not having any responsibility there in negotiating the trade.

My new setup.
I managed to repair the monitor in the middle. It died years ago and I didn't throw it away because I figured I knew it was just bad caps. They were...
A couple of caps went bad. A 16 V cap and a 25 V 1000 uF cap. I bought them, and put them in, but soldered the 25 V cap in incorrectly - wrong polarity (no Star Trek puns, no...), which killed it right away. So what do you do when you don't have another one at home?
You cannibalize another monitor that you know is beyond repair and lift two 25 V, 470 uF caps out and then solder them in parallel before putting them into the monitor.
Remember, for parallel capacitors it's C = C1 + C2, so 470 uF + 470 uF = 940 uF, which is close enough to 1000 uF to work

I'm missing the meaning of this meme. What is it all about. Some Pope Francis thing?

Nope - it's deadpool reference.

So I was standing at the printer at work one day, and the display said this:
Busy, low paper
- Cancel job
Yes, please
Just not from a printer:shifty:
My friends, that is what happens when you have a dirty, dyslexic mind.

On a random note...
First step to solving a problem is to recognize you have a problem.
This is Procrastinate-o-meter, a little tool i made that lets you see what you are doing at your computer.
And hopefully help you realize whether you have a problem or not.

If i reinvented a bicycle, a pointer to the previous solution is welcome too.

I've seen a piece of software that does this before, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

There is Leechblock for Firefox, blocks time-wasting websites. I imagine that other browsers have similar add-ons available.

The US Navy forgot to do one very important thing before decommissioning the Iowas:
Give a performance of the 1812 Overture with full broadsides for percussion.
