Imagine how awesome Radio Shack could be if they started supporting local efforts of Makers to build things. Why is Radio Shack not offering modern electronics courses, along with rentals of some gear too hard to afford yourself?

They could really transform themselves into something powerful with a small twist.

Tru dat!

I agree RatShack has gone downhill, and it's especially unfortunate that they no longer sell amateur radio gear. But I think it's actually been improving of late. They carry way more components than they used to and they finally took my advice and put them in drawers. They still have solder, RF adapters, antennas, some basic computer parts, kits, books, arduinos, basic stamps, 100 in 1 electronics sets (I've already bought one for my 2 year old, can't get 'em started too early!) Radio Shack is a hell of a lot better than nothing and let's hope this positive trend continues.

Who the fuck cares? Who would EVER use this stupid thing? I have flown a hundred times. They let you carry on a full size carry on bag, which is pretty big, AND something else that will fit under the seat; I usually choose a backpack. You can fit enough stuff in those two things for a week long trip. And no sweatshirt is going to hold a fraction of what you can fit in a full size upright suitcase. Why the fuck would I want to wear an ugly sweatshirt crammed full of hard pokey junk, look leotarded, and be uncomfortable for my entire flight? Is this a joke?

I don't believe there really IS a GAS SHORTAGE.. I think it's all just a BIG HOAX on the part of the plastic sign salesmen -- to sell more numbers!!

Working...
