mystes posted:Keurig machines are pretty bad but I guess they have the advantage that offices that have them will typically get coffee as party of some sort of subscription or service agreement. This at least prevents them doing what one place I was working at did, which was just buying literally the cheapest coffee they could get from staples or wherever they got their offices supplies. Our Keurig got infested with roaches...it was a real bummer. We went back to being a pot-o-coffee family with a $20 Mr.Coffee from Walmart. Never looked back. (I'd personally like a pour over, but we make good ol' pots of folgers just to get by the mornings) Hot tip  roaches love the inner workings of Keurig machines. Warm and dark. They rarely got into the actual coffee, unless they crawled their way to where the water shoots out into the k cup .Hot tip 2 you can kill the roaches by sticking your machine in a bag and deep freezing that fucker whole. Hot tip3 make sure theres no uh water in the machine though...

If roaches get into my coffee pot they can keep it. Personally I’ve been using preground coffee and a pourover, it’s a good middle ground for being half asleep wanting coffee

For larger offices a proper industrial machine makes much more sense imo. I haven't been in the office for a few months but so I don't remember the brand/model but it grinds the beans itself and has a refrigerated milk/cream container. Too bad I'm not into coffee. Downside is that it probably costs like 10 grand.

Dick Trauma posted:Yes. It's overloaded with stuff, and the interface for crafting and placing objects is awful, but it does allow me to wander around fishing and shaking trees. Yeah Animal Crossing Pocket Camp has a lot going on and I've basically just been fishing and giving the fish away, shaking trees, and catching bugs. I hope New Horizons is better because I plan on getting a Switch...if I can find one.

Caved and bought a Pilot Metro fountain pen. I'm left handed, so my last experiences with a fountain pen have been bad, or at least slightly inconvenient, but the Metro still flows really well. The ink it shipped with is fairly quick drying as well, which is nice. Next is to consider buying a converter or refill syringes for the ink.

I bought a new bike helmet. It's great, though I'm definitely going to keep my ugly–yet–heavily-vented helmet for the more brutal Baltimore summer days.

Thats a pretty spiffy hat. I bought a small forge, and a grinder.  Misses nostrata was not pleased when it showed up at the door. Not mad, just definitely not happy. Now for mothers day she wants a lathe. So now I need to jump on that before she has time to tell me she wasn't serious about it.

Phthisis posted:I bought a new bike helmet. I've got that exact same helmet, and the matching gloves. And my wife has the mint one. Though mine is I guess a slightly earlier version that doesn't say Thousand across the front like that. I think it has a small copper plate but I'm in bed and not going to check. Great helmet though. Excellent purchase.

I got some hot sauce And some developer for black and white film  I'll try not to mix them up. The hot sauce is ~$15 AUD a bottle with a $15 delivery fee or if you spend $50 you get free shpping, thus getting 5 in the mail.

Trabant posted:Pick's badges (?) reminded me: does anyone have a go-to store for weird iron-on patches? Or stuff like those psychotic military mission/unit patches: I got some weird police patches from eBay. If you search the name of the patch or reverse image search it you'll probably find an eBay store with a bunch of cool stuff. Edit: don't know if it's the same store but this eBay seller has a ton of good patches - https://www.ebay.com.au/str/patchwiz cyberia has a new favorite as of 08:15 on May 9, 2020 |

wallaka posted:I want one with the NASA keycaps so bad My Godspeed SA set on an Ergodox Infinity that I built a few years ago. It's been my daily driver the last couple months of working from home:  It's pretty great looking but a bunch of the key legends don't correspond to their actual function in my keymap. I have a second Infinity at the office with a DSA Granite set that I like even more and am sad that I didn't bring home before things got weird.

I bought some new Switch controllers I bought a matching backplate too but I used the driver they included and it stripped two of the screws. So I guess I'm stuck with a stock main console forever

You can get the shells from amazon. They're not terribly expensive, as long as you're fine with doing the DIY yourself. The atomic purples aren't the same material as the old N64/GBAs, so while the color may match, the shell is actually a smooth glossy plastic that will catch oils real real quick. If you get clammy hands while gaming, you're going to want to steer clear. I learned that the hard way.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:I bought some new Switch controllers I did this back in July. I agree it's not quite the atomic purple but maybe there's more sellers out there now. Sucks about those screws. Same thing happened to me but I more or less destroyed the back by continuing to pull it off. I'm sure there's stock parts on ebay or something. Ironically changing the console plate is the easiest part as opposed to the Joycons. I thought about doing one of the other 90s colorways like watermelon.   I also changed over the Pro Controller to a SNES shell.   For content I just bought a ton of powertools and lumber and insulation to finally get my basement done. Already installed all the moisture barriers over the weekend.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Jellas-Extractor-Burnishing-Extracting-Extension/dp/B07Y7VV7RK/ref=psdc_2225074011_t3_B07GZ17QD9 As you screw the extractor counter clockwise to loosen the screw the extractor will dig in more to grab the head of the screw to back it out.
