Found an old clock with overflown battery inside. How dangerous is this? Is the clock salvageable?
  • As long as the decorative side isn’t affected, it should be fine (and that’s only an esthetic thing anyway).

    Just clean it up and try to get as much residue out of the back as you can. The easiest thing to do is just throw out the whole clock mechanism and replace it (very, very easy), but if you don’t want to do that, and the mechanism itself isn’t affected, you could probably just buy a new battery enclosure with the same battery capacity as the original, and wire it to the same connections the original batteries had.

  • The guitar that got away?
  • It’s not one I wished I bought, my biggest guitar regret is selling my Jackson KV3 in black with silver hardware and Floyd rose.

    I do wish I’d bought an Ernie Ball St Vincent guitar, but I haven’t really been in a position to buy one since it came out.

  • Kari Lake gave Senate campaign speech in front of a Confederate flag
  • Not really. Specifying “British” and nothing else suggests she’s willing to respond to American propaganda outlets (well, “she” as part of the campaign.) Also, the other dodge (that Kari went to the store but doesn’t own it) doesn’t in any way diminish the fact that she still gave the speech in front of the flag. If she didn’t want that image, she could have asked for it to be taken down or gone somewhere else.
