Bought an LCD to work on the restoration of the Dell XPS M1730 I posted earlier.



Still needs new hinges, speakers and a keyboard, but since this is a pure vanity project that I will never make my money back on, I have to pace it just a tiny bit.

I have a Dell D830 with 15.4” 1920x1200 LCD that I wish I could sell for parts but doesn’t seem worth it.

Woof those were from circa 2007/2008 if I remember right and then shortly there after Dell went to an updated design language for the latitude laptops. But that does seem like the high end resolution for back in that time.

My dream computer back in the day! Everything is socketed and replaceable, so depending on how much time and money you have, you can have a lot of fun upgrading it. It will take a standard SATA harddrive, which really will bring it back to life.

Man! After years of this thread I finally came to terms with the fact that absurd, flashy clown shoes are actually good.

And now the game has changed, and these Nurse/Grill Dad shoes are good?

No that's the thing, I think those shoes look fine. This thread convinced me I have Opposite Good Shoe Opinions :negative:

The only way I could navigate these confusing waters is to assume the good shoes are bad and the bad shoes good

I was always told that the ugliest dad looking running shoes are the best for you , the uglier and more dad like the better

But I decided to try the opposite. High end ugly but very high tech ,

So we shall see !

If you're running serious miles you should really get fitted for running shoes. I have 4 pair of my preferred running shoe (Nike Free Flyknit 4.0) sitting in boxes because the next model they put out almost crippled me.

Might be one of my weirdest purchases:


One of those machines in arcades where you try to line up a rod with a circle with a prize in it, and if you get it correct, it pushes the prize down the chute.

Not entirely sure where to put it...i guess basement or porch...or what to do with it.

One thought was, like, little liquor nips bottles? You want a shot, but you gotta earn it!

You paid someone to haul away their trash is what it looks like, definite hoarder behavior.

It works fine so far, so I'd say not ENTIRELY trash, though I'll grant it might be in a few months/years.

But it was only $80.

This rules. I bought a MAME cabinet once and ended up giving up on it and trashing it. I hope your endeavor goes farther!

Why purchase donuts when you can get free ones from Krispy Kreme after you get your COVID-19 vaccine?


I want a free donut. And a vaccine…

Massachusetts, so no Krispy Kreme but there's a Dunkin every 5 feet. These were super fancy ones from a place in Rhode Island called PVDonuts though. They're good but way too expensive, so it's something we usually only get like once a year.

We briefly had KK's up here in the mid 00's and they eventually went kaput because while they have arguably better donuts (and I thought they were just on par with Dunkin) their coffee was noticeably worse.

Goddamn, it's Friday and I'm gonna order a dozen donuts from the vegan place in town.
Not that I'm vegan but these things are crazy good and don't make me feel miserable afterwards. Plus they do way more interesting flavors than just chocolate or maple.

Oregon is sitting on too much supply and appointments are going unbooked.

You can tell the pharm tech right to their face, "I don't qualify" and they instruct you exactly which box to check so that they can put the dose in your arm rather than the trash bin
