So I've had a can of this sitting around, mainly used for door hinge treatment around the house, and today I found a new use for it that might come in handy for some of you.

I have a couple of TiVo DVRs in the household with remotes that are 5+ years old. I've taken a couple apart to see how the button assembly layers are arrange because as these things age out - the buttons tend to get squeaky, get bound up or simply less responsive to the touch. The actual switch layer is comprised of sealed bubble micro switches on the actual PCBA so contamination wasn't much of a concern when I dove into this adventure. I tried a few various silicone based lubes I had around but none of effectively returned the buttons to a factory fresh feel or level of actuation and a few products were too oily in composition. Purely by accident, I stumbled on this rather aged can of this stuff I had tucked away, deep in a cabinet and decided to give it a shot. All of the other lubes I had around were pretty runny and in some cases made the buttons sticky.

What's cool about this stuff is that it doesn't attack the plastic (shiny) surfaces of the remote control.
So I sprayed some into a small cup (... think of those small cups restaurants serve side condiments in...) and used a eye dropper to grab & apply some of the collected liquid into the spaces around the offending buttons & rocker controls (volume up & down and the channel switching...) and voila ! - the carrier evaporated quickly and laid down a dry coat to the interference areas of the buttons.

Color me impressed. The remotes feel like new.

If you want to add a good all-purpose lube to your toolbox of stuff, this may one to get.

BDSM is a variety of often erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other related interpersonal dynamics. Given the wide range of practices, some of which may be engaged in by people who do not consider themselves as practicing BDSM, inclusion in the BDSM community or subculture is usually dependent on self-identification and shared experience.

The BDSM initialism.


The term BDSM is first recorded in a Usenet posting from 1991,[SUP][1][/SUP] and is interpreted as a combination of the abbreviations B/D (Bondage and Discipline), D/s (Dominance and submission), and S/M (Sadism and Masochism). BDSM is now used as a catch-all phrase covering a wide range of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures. BDSM communities generally welcome anyone with a non-normative streak who identifies with the community; this may include cross-dressers, body modification enthusiasts, animal roleplayers, rubber fetishists, and others.
Activities and relationships within a D/s or M/s context are often characterized by the participants taking on complementary, but unequal roles; thus, the idea of informed consent of both the partners becomes essential. The terms "submissive" and "dominant" are often used to distinguish these roles: the dominant partner ("dom") takes psychological control over the submissive ("sub"). The terms "top" and "bottom" are also used: the top is the instigator of an action while the bottom is the receiver of the action. The two sets of terms are subtly different: for example, someone may choose to act as bottom to another person, for example, by being whipped, purely recreationally, without any implication of being psychologically dominated by them.
The abbreviations "sub" and "dom" are frequently used instead of "submissive" and "dominant". Sometimes the female-specific term "domme" is used to describe a dominant woman, instead of the gender-neutral term "dom"; both terms are pronounced the same when spoken. Individuals who can change between top/dominant and bottom/submissive roles—whether from relationship to relationship or within a given relationship—are known as switches. The precise definition of roles and self-identification is a common subject of debate within the community.[SUP][2][/SUP]

To be frank, I think my breakdown of the acronym was accurate, yours wasn't.

That aside, the thread was destined to be a joke fest from the get go.

Roll with it ... :wink:




You did inspire me to change up my avatar for the new year which is a bonus. Now I need to find an animated one ...
