It's about time for my fifth rewatch of this. Magic Underwear posted:Wow that's spooky, I just finished re-watching this for the first time in years. Incredible show. 4>1>2>3>5 btw. And there is so little that comes even close to it. I almost want to encase the discs in separate blocks of concrete, so I ration them. Mu Zeta posted:Agreed. Hamsterdam is stupid and the serial killer stuff is stupid. The whole Hamsterdam plotline is worth enduring, just for being able to enjoy Carver's character development at that time.

Shut up Meg posted:Wire Chat The show is amazing for sure, but I watched the first 2 seasons then hit a wall with the third. Took me a few years to go back and finish watching it, but I'm really glad I did because Snoop turns out to be one of the absolute best characters. That accent is so amazing, it's like a combination of atlanta, philly and some kind of weird colonial english. And the actor IRL did a bunch of crime, so it's not even really acting.

Shut up Meg posted:Problem I have is that an awful lot of the best quotes from half the characters include a certain racial epithet that means you can't ever speak them in public. The final scene with Carver and Randy is just heart breaking.

Josh Lyman posted:How much? This is my dream setup at home but it seems like a $600+ investment. You can sometimes get them off craigslist from a company that just went bust for ~$200 if you're quick. Otherwise yes, you're looking at about that. I got mine ~8 years ago now and still wish I had gotten it sooner.

If you happen to have a Design Within Reach outlet store nearby, they may have scratched Aerons for $300-400. I’ve seen lots at least.

Yeah well lots of things that make sense aren't done by people until they've had a scare. In this case I was able to just pour water on it, only thing damaged was a piece of furniture we where going to throw away anyway.

I got a new camera, something that doesn't require a tripod to use. Not pictured, a 45mm lens, an extra back and a waist level finder. Got it for a bargain but I want to kit it out with a different finder, hand crank instead of the auto advance grip and a cable release socket.

The makerspace I volunteer at got a Form 3, and since I got a new job and am tired of loving with my 3D printer, I sold it to get a setup: Black resin  Tray It's like $300 to get started just with materials, but it's easier to account for pricing since just the tray goes bad (desktop ones have film and a consumable screen), the materials are pricey, but you waste a lot less. And most importantly, I'm going to get my poo poo out of the printer without going bananas about supports, scraping my screen, and fumes.

Tell me about it:  I thought I had plenty of first aid stuff, but when it went wrong, cue my hurling packets of cough pills and bunion plasters all over the house as I dripped blood, searching for a bandage.

RoastBeef posted:They do seem to last forever - I bought mine in 2001 and it looks basically brand new. Overall yes, but I’ve had Aerons at home and at the office, and while I absolutely love them, I’ve had bad luck with the tilt mechanism wearing out. So, I bought a Maxnomic chair to replace my one at home and it’s absolutely phenomenal. Plus, it tilts fully 90* back— you could easily sleep in that thing with a footrest.

Coredump posted:I'm so fat I break Aeron's over time. Fatty McFatfat over here. I spend a lot of time in my desk chair. An unreasonable, unhealthy amount of time. I bought an Embody chair (one up in the line from an Aeron) and sat in it daily until I wore it out 6 years later. The seat base and back was made out of little branching plastic fingers and eventually the plastic had enough wear from deformation that they didn't support me anymore. But 6 years out of a $1400 chair that helped with my back issues et al is a bargain. I've got through a series of cheaper, less comfortable chairs since then and will probably get another H-M chair the next one.

Yeah I'm considering getting another Aeron for home off FB marketplace as the lovely cheap office chair I use now is doing me no favors to my spine.

Pastry of the Year posted:Yeah, I'm a dumbass sometimes - this was me with carbon monoxide detectors. My dad has been to my new house about a half dozen times, and always asks where my CO detector is since he can't see it (and was about a minutes from running out to Ace to get me one each time.) I think he's finally caught on that I don't need one, since my heat, hot water, and stove are all electric. (To his credit, he was a volunteer fire chief for 20 years, so it's second nature for him to look for smoke and CO detectors, as well as fire extinguishers and good secondary exits.)

When I bought my house it took me a few months to realize there wasn't a single smoke detector in it. There was a mounting bracket for one in the hall that I assume the previous owner took with him.

Medium and large format cameras have interchangeable backs so you can preload more film since it can be an involved process you don’t want to do in the field.

Yeah I want to know which back(s) he bought! There are also comically expensive $25k digital backs. I presume given his propensity towards bellows it's film but we also have Bape Culture in this thread.

$100 for one day. Normally I'd never pay that, but I've never seen Underworld and they're never playing near me. I don't know anyone else at all on the lineup.
