The Wavebird pwns all as far as GC wireless controllers go.   I think it is funny when people go for the GC controller over the Wii controller.   Kinda defeats the entire purpose of the Wii.   The Wii isn't really that much more powerful than a GC graphically, the big difference is the peripherals which could have been adopted on the GC.   Nintendo really failed with the Wii as it is too much of a gimmick system for me to take seriously.

Yeah, but what are you gonna do when you wanna play gamecube games? (Okay I could have left the gamecube set up when I bought the Wii, used a switchbox or something, but hey, those white gc controllers look pretty fucking cool I think).

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

What do you do with powdered graphite?

Lubricate non sexual and/or metallic things which do not work well with fluid lubricants.

Most of my heavy duty (capable of  supporting just around one hundred pounds) lighting stands would fail if I used liquid lubricants, but powder keeps them working as designed.

Clean them with alcohol, then lubricate them with powder = excellent. Add a few drops of oil and they will not hold even twenty pounds.

You got it.  For me I add it in with the insulation in the blower to keep things running smoothly.  It's also really good on locks

I have rarely used more than half an ounce maintaining all thirty odd stands, including posing stools, background supports, quick-retractable cabling and camera bellows.

A litttle goes a long way, unless you spray it ...

I use it several ounces at a time  dumped in the hopper about once a month.
