Bluetooth keyboard for home theater PCs and the like. I have one with a touch pad mouse built in. They’re handy. \/ could be that too, I'm just guessing based on the one I have Bottom Liner has a new favorite as of 04:37 on Jan 26, 2020 |

Had to go to Home Despot for some sanding sponges. Like every other trip to the home store I planned to spend  and ended up spending $40. Most of my other bits are chewed to hell. DeWalt does not make a quality bit. Hopefully these hold up a little better.

I bought a toolbox! My tools happen to be a camera and audio equipment, for which it works almost perfectly. It’s quite sturdy and spacious, and only $25 as opposed to whatever a Pelican costs.

Like every other trip to the home store I planned to spend I knew I was old when I was excited when i got a multi bit snap on driver as a gift and I couldn't wait to use it. Also, the snap on driver design is really old and inconvenient now. There are much better designs on the market that makes it easier to switch bits.

I can't imagine anything easier than popping a bit into a magnetic holder. I know I'm old cause I remember the days of chuck keys and miles of extension cords.

Oh I meant the way the snap on keeps the bits in storage is outdated. Newer drivers like this keeps then all in the handle much more organized. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004VJY1FQ/?coliid=I3W5DW91FQSNM&colid=3P5SU7GMQ4AIB&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Six of these: A set of these:  And then also a jug of oil and an oil filter. Truck's check engine light keeps going on for a cylinder misfire, so I'm hoping it's just the spark plug. And if I'm doing 1 spark plug, might as well do all of them and the wires. And it's also due for an oil change, and Advance Auto had a deal for a decent oil filter + jug of synthetic Castrol for only $33...I think the oil itself was like $30 on its own, so $3 for an oil filter seems like a good deal.

I find the build super relaxing, esp. the cable management or clamping down the cpu, you just gotta take your time. What sucks is installing windows, updating it, installing graphics drivers, updating bios drivers, etc. It's like way less annoying than it used to be, but the process and still takes too drat long.

It takes a lot to break them and drat near impossible to short them from static shock. Hell my powerbutton is a screwdriver I rake across the leads on the Mobo. But I was once told my computers look like how they imagine they would look after the collapse of civilization so

I built my first PC six months ago and while it took me overnight to finish it I can't wait to do it again. I doubt it would take more than a couple hours the next time.

Went to the weed store and bought drugs. Also got some super strong caramels and home made gummies from my guy, but those don't have as fun of packaging. Legal weed is hilarious because now 90% of my clients are talking about getting high openly and it's cute to hear rich people talk about eating a bunch of gummies and sitting around watching YouTube cooking shows for hours.

Mister Speaker posted:I got the snowblades. How do I set these puppies up? Short answer is get someone to do it for you. It’s been years but I was a ski/snowboard/blade tech in college. Setting it to your boot size is probably easy enough to figure out but check YouTube or Google. The little indicators on the heel and toe show the DIN and are probably set with some kind of tension screw on the tip of the toe and very back of the heel. Your DIN, which is your Deutsche Institute... SomethingSomething is the force required to release the bindings and is dependent on your shoe size, height, weight and style of skiing (skill level.) When properly tightened it will keep them from staying on and obliterating your legs in a serious fall and also keeps them from popping off as soon as you go off a jump. Find a calculator online, they’re all over. Hope this helped a little and please be careful, those were the things that led to the most injuries where I worked.

I found something i’ve been wanting to get for many years. This “walkman”, I found in a cardboard box of junk.  When I was a kid I went to Japan. One day we went to a mall, and I saw these portable cassette players on display in the electronics floor. They were beyond any of the ones in the states. They were made of anodized brushed aluminum with gleaming bright metallic colors. Even the internal parts like the tape ejector slot were metal. The buttons were metal.They were impossibly slim. Almost the size of the cassette itself. They had remotes attached to the headphones. They used rechargeable packs. The tapes were loaded on the back of the device, giving the front a clean look. They were loaded with features like dolby NR, auto stop, hold, battery life indicators. They had the best audio quality available at the time. It was like I had found an iPhone, when everyone else could only get razrs and sidekicks. Most other good cassette players back home had a couple of these features and characteristics, but none of them had nearly as many. In fact, they were never surpassed before CD players replaced them. Here’s a cassette player I had, besides it:  I wasn’t too envious of the kids who had 10 pairs of reebok pumps, or high end vintage baseball card collections. but this was different. This was something that was fundamentally superior, and this was something nobody back home would be able to have. My best friend had an NES cartridge that had 200 NES games on it, that his father brought back from China. Long before we could get emulators. So this was my way to show him up. But they costed more than twice as much as the nicest sony walkman models sold in the states. I’m guessing they were never imported to the US because they would have sold poorly because of the high price. This was also when the yen was at its peak. But it was impossible to convince my frugal parents to buy it for me. My dream of being the kid with the coolest gadget in school was not to be. Even though what I have here is just a broken worn out relic, its a nice display piece and a reminder of my parents frugality. Even though I resented them for it at the time, it paid off in the end. It reminds me to try and be smart with my money.

While the likelihood of outright destroying something with a visible arc are low, you can cause static damage with just a few hundred volts, which you can't see or feel. Parts will fail faster than they should or become unstable, especially with the compounding factor of heat. You don't have to go full clean room, but do take appropriate precautions before handling.

No weed experience personally, but if someone told me "Hey, if you eat this rice krispie treat you'll get high and feel awesome" I'd be on that poo poo, cause who thought they could make those things BETTER? However, where I live is currently #1 for incarceration so it's gonna be a while before I might get the chance to experience the joy of getting hosed up on candy or treats.

Like...weed, and esp edibles are something you need to take a little slow at first. Non weed pro's in newly legal states keep ruining themselves on liking weed cause they go eat a big edible and just get super hosed up and start thinking weed is the devil. No. Weed is not the devil, but it'll make you paranoid as gently caress for the first hour then it's all good. Edibles take a long time to kick in and when they do it's pretty much anxiety city for another hour and then you're super stoned. What I'm saying is, try smoking a joint or two if you're a beginner, don't go full cop calling cops on himself thinking he's dying off a weed brownie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrZLc9lqQM0
