Which is literally the exact useless thing I tell myself every time I hear that automated message. Damn you, Tawny Platis.
ONE of my friends got a Master System. Everyone else got the NES. I got the Atari XEGS.
Local store actually had a few small bags of this Coriander (Cilantro) flavor. These were supposedly a Taiwan limited edition release. I love Cilantro, so I grabbed them. The good: they actually taste like Cilantro. The bad: they're SWEET. WTF is up with Asian Doritos all being super sweet? Gross.
Well poo. Likely means I won't be able to get one until Q4. #steammachine
There is SO MUCH detail in everything. There's not enough time to see it all in one day.
dbrand is making a Weighted Companion Cube case for the new Steam Machine. FML. Take my money.
It's not about size, it's about type and transportability. We get some amazing huge, sweet, delicious strawberries from local farms here in Oregon. They don't last long. You can get them in May and June and that's about it. After they are picked, you have a few days to eat or process them.
Now put 15 enemies in it and make them all other gameboys connected via daisy-chained 4-player adapters.
The dialog options you can open up depending on points in your skills. You can build out your skills in different ways, depending on the type of charachter you want to play, like Body for a strong physical person, technical ability for a hacker, cool for a stealthy build.
It has come to my attention that in my 14 years of flying, 5 of the aircraft I've flown have been destroyed in accidents (by others). N166TW going down at Catalina being the most recent. My checkout in this aircraft was also at Catalina. 2 Cherokees, a Cessna, and Chuck Coleman's Extra 300L. 😩
I picked up kit #200 of the OtterX from @wavicle9.bsky.social at the VCF PNW event recently. Time to get to work on assembly! All sorts of goodies and upgrades too. Gotta fire up the @prusa3d.com and get a case printed out too.
Inspired by your post, I asked for a dirty martini at dinner. I got gin, vermouth, two olives, and a splash of brine. Cheers shipboard from the Arctic.
I have seen a sliced cheese dispenser, but not one that is mechanized. Bonus points if someone integrated a digital camera and a Flash to stun and record anyone who tries to get a slice.
Weird product of the week: I just saw a Twat Waffle Iron. It's time to go to bed, internet.
Local coffee stand weighing in on today's sports ball. Bad Bunny got my dollar.
Driving through southern Oregon and the hills are full of trees covered in lichen. My brain instantly goes "Lichen Subscribe! All these trees did!"
Out of all the online news source articles I see this morning regarding the demise of the shitstain that was Scott Adams, almost all are completely neutral or positive, except for People:
There may or may not be a 9.5ft-tall Bumble on my porch. At least he's helping with the xmas lights.
My previous PC was an evolution. It started as WinXP, then upgraded to Win7, 8, and 10. I still have internet shortcuts from the 1990s, and some STILL WORK, which blows my mind. Old docs, to-do lists, project archives, early digital camera pictures (640x480 fancy!)
I find Digital Archaeology quite fascinating, which drives my retro tech hobbies. This weekend I find myself starting a project on digging through my own digital history while fixing an old PC and saving its content. My old digital life (15-30 years ago) was interesting and archiving it is strange.
