  How’s this wordplay?
  
  Also, I’m surprised that the typo wasn’t addressed in the design.

- @PlacidPenguin IP infringement concerns? I’ve read about the arbitrary assessment of what is permissible over there.
  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  IP infringement.
  
  ???
  
  Wait…
  
  I just got the joke of the design.
  
  It IS a Star Wars joke.
  
  Sigh…

- @PlacidPenguin @ACraigL has mentioned previously about having designs bounced due to some seemingly arbitrary standards regarding using copyrighted IP.

- @PlacidPenguin What typo? It’s obviously referencing Chewbacca, or Chewie for short.

  1. Star Wars jokes take a little more time.
  2. I can’t really stand wordplay.

/wootstalker https://home.woot.com/offers/dimple-1000-piece-brick-building-block-set-3

Dimple 1000-Piece Brick Building Block Set
Price: $24.99
Condition: New

Amz sellers claim these are LEGO compatible. I guess $25 for 1000 bricks it’s worth a shot?

/wootstalker https://electronics.woot.com/offers/yuneec-breeze-camera-drone-your-choice?ref=w_all_16

Yuneec Breeze Camera Drone (Your Choice)
Price: $169.99 - $189.9
Condition: New

So this must be uncomfortable for someone over at Woot. They’re (Woot) offering the identical item over at Amz for $10 less.

  The one on Amazon is refurbished, which is probably how they’d justify it.

- @PlacidPenguin The one on Woot is also refurbished. Dunno. Maybe the one on Woot includes something extra not included with the Amz one?

- @sammydog01 In order to ~~sell more dongles~~ be more sleek, Apple has eliminated many of the external ports on their laptops.

  I use mine when I’m traveling. I connect my iPad or iPhone to the hotel’s TV and play movies. This frees up my laptop to do actual work while a movie is playing.
  
  That iPhone X price is unreal for a refurb with a 90 day warranty. I guess if I had $900 to spend on a refurb I’d probably choose to spend $1000 for a brand new one with a full Apple 1 year warranty.
