@hichris123 Could be The Artful Dodger reference.

user259867

"Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)" is a song by English garage band The Artful Dodger featuring Craig David on vocals. Released in the UK in 1999, the song reached number two, giving David his first taste of chart success. In his dean's list for the annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll, Robert Christgau of The Village Voice named "Re-Rewind" the fifth best single of the year. == Background == The melody in the verses was lifted from an older Craig David demo called "Last Night" which was re-recorded for his debut solo album Born to Do It. A slightly different version of the song, simply titled ...

I run out of close votes a lot. In fact, in almost any given day in which I actively participate, I use up all of my close votes! And I am really, in the grand scheme of things, not a very active user on this site. Here is a graph of the number of unclosed questions with close votes per month: ...

way to not make your point

> I propose that we end the year of 2014 in a very meaningful way that we will never forget! For just one day and one day only, all users with current close vote privileges, will be given 500 close votes instead of the ordinary 50. The Close Votes queue will allow you to do up to 400 reviews that day instead of the normal 40.

I know, right?

Yeah, that one.

user259867

I don't like the linear order of the queue. Give me 15 questions at once, the list of titles, tags and current vote counts. I'll pick what I ~~like~~ want to hammer.

@Mooseman, what was Radio Shack like in the USA like lately? When I was a kid I used to buy a few electronic components from them in Australia but they shut here many years ago, and it latter years was mostly consumer electronics you could get anywhere.

@PeterJ Not all that different then. They have a few components in the back corner of the store and the rest was overpriced consumer electronics. And batteries. Don't. Forget. The batteries.

@PeterJ hackaday.com/2015/02/05/…

PeterJ

11:03 AM

@Mooseman, sounds similar got the impression you thought it was a big loss :)

@Bart yeah similar story to a local company that tried to cover both markets and ended up doing neither well

@PeterJ It is, to an extent. But only for the people who need components and either 1) didn't order online in advance or 2) simply can't wait. I only remember being in their stores twice recently. Once on Black Friday with a "crowd" of three people to get a cheap usb flash drive, and the other to get a component while thinking to myself "this would cost me one-fifth of this if I ordered it online."

PeterJ

@Mooseman, yeah see your point but guess it's a pretty small market. Guess at the end of the day most people who spend significant amounts on components either keep a few on hand or overnight is fine. For professional use you also get the problem that they sell all sorts of substitutions rather than specific manufacturer part numbers where you really know what they are.
