• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

RadioShack intern dropping shockers on Twitter

Used to love Radio Shack as a kid. They had a lot of crappy products but also some quirky products that were pretty cool.

I guess Amazon hit them pretty hard with the ability to deliver all that shit in a day for about half the price as it was mostly really small electronic shit.
Hindsight being 20/20 it’s actually pretty outstanding a company didn’t pick up the Amazon model sooner.

All that wasted money on brick and mortar, extra shipping, staff, ect.

I’d really like to see half these people who work retail, hospitality, and the restaurant industry to get into a trade or production position. It would bring the price of goods down immensely.
