A new type of fish tanking

If you want an easy extra safe way to deal with it find a tall dumpster not monitored by security cameras and toss it in.

When there's no vacuum crunching CRTs up in a box is generally safe if you do it right....I've probably disposed of more than 10 CRTs that way without getting cut. You just need some heavy duty work gloves and a good size chunk of metal to lob into the box from 5-15' away.

I am eager to get my paws on it while I still have some surplus government $$$ to put towards it!

You do know that's an oxymoron on top of an oxymoron.

How so?
I',m living the American dream here! Living from paycheck to paycheck! It's the modern way! It's what happens after 3 siblings decide to ditch their apartments and all go in and get a home together! And wind up with a overpriced POS, that's built out of crap material and is in risk of falling over if you sneeze.
Then 8 years into it the deal, the youngest sibling decides to cut and run, leaving the other 2 holding the bag, basically just hanging on, even with my latest raise :O
So I tend to view things as the tax refund and the stimulus check as extra “surplus” , but as time goes on, it will get nibbled away especially as days get hotter and electric bills get bigger

It's not "government money" because there's no such thing - it's your money and mine (taxes).

And that is not "surplus."

Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but it's irrelevant to what point I was trying to get across, which was, I wish to attain the replacement CRT while I still have the means to do so, ( no overt pressure on DJ intended or implied :P ), how I stated this semantically should really not be a topic of any debate, but if you found what I stated somehow disagreeable, I suggest you just take it with a “grain of salt” per-se, and move on to other subjects.

That's freshly printed money, might as well spend it cuz it aint gonna be worth nothin' soon lol.

I like to shoot dud CRTs with a high powered rifle @ 100+ yards. have plastic underneath to roll the remains up in and a box to roll that into. I live out in the desert where I can get away with stuff like this.

Makes me think of the Big Lebowski.
