Neat trick to fix electronics that fell in water using rice

[Red Squirrel]

It happens to the best of us. You drop your phone in the toilet, or you spill something on your keyboard. Put it in a bag, fill it with rice shake it, and let the bag slightly open (you don't want it air tight) and leave it out overnight.

The rice will attract a little asian that will quietly come fix it for you while you sleep.

Not sure how much you'd have to leave for a tip though. 10.7% of the item's suggested retail price times 0.924% per year old it is?




You know, your joke isn't funny at all.


Knock it off.

White rice, brown rice, or yellow rice?

Will this little asian come with a sister who gives you a massage during the repair?

White rice, brown rice, or yellow rice?

Wild rice?

White rice, brown rice, or yellow rice?

Depends if you want a Russian, Indian, or Chinese person.

Joke aside, rice does absorb moisture from electronics.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Yes, but unfortunately it doesn't stop the corrosion

Good advice so long as it's not a key fob. No way I'm going to let a terrible Asian woman driver anywhere near my car.

While the rice might do a good job of absorbing water the problem is/was that the device was powered on when it happened absorbing water AFTER the fact won't matter as the water provided a means for every trace on the board to short, chances are any LSI (large scale integrated circuit) chips (SOC's, IO), would not survive being submerged.

Your little asian comments are racist, anti-Semitic and very insulting to a large demographic, mostly Asian-Americans. The mods should deal with you soon. I know your trying to be funny, be this is not the place for it.

Internet message boards aren't a place where people can say dumb, racist shit that's offensive and get away with it? Where have you been all these years? I had no idea! I just thought this was the Internet....

Pardon me Padus, what part of his post is anti-Semitic?
And please note post #10. A mod has participated in the thread and evidently does not find cause for concern.

I don't know why it's okay to make racist jokes on Asians but not any other race. This forum is weird huh

Well, if I replace keywords in a similar joke with say: orange drank, fried chicken, and huge African. It shouldn't be taboo and everyone would be okay with the newly created thread right? I highly doubt it buddy.

But then again it probably is going to be okay since a mod participated.

Your total lack of humor is insulting to a large demographic.
