LifeSunDeath posted:I know you're trying to hurt me, but I don't know why you would want to hurt me. (I haven't owned a cig case in 20 years, it did a good not crushing my cigs in my pocket). I think the crushing is a big part. When all cigarette packs were soft it’s probably a really good way to get to smoke all your cigarettes without them getting crushed.

Cigarette holders, on the other hand, were used and would on occasion be seen in public well into the 2000s. Signed, a Brooklyn resident well into the 2000s

Around 2001-2002 I had a roommate who was an early Suicidegirl and who had a side gig modeling for a local smoking fetish site that paid her to dress up like a flapper or dominatrix and smoke fancy cigarettes on camera fully clothed. Seemed like a pretty good gig to me, and they gave her free cigarettes.

I had a really neato antique brass/copper coloured cigarette case with built in lighter from the 1920s. I unashamedly used it everywhere. Now I quit smoking a few years ago and can afford to buy all sorts of other useless tech!

Some of the jewelry/tchotchkes I inherited include a tiny silver lipstick case that wouldn't fit any modern lipstick, and a little enameled powder case, and nobody wears powder nowadays. They're pretty though!

Also was doing some surplus property shopping today (picked up an Ultimaker3 for the office) and saw these beauties.  Don't know if they're destined for auction or will go somewhere else.

Not my photo, but I've had an empty one of these in my garage for over a decade now. A friend had the full Origin 3000 supercomputer at his house and didn't need the spare rack so I gladly took it. Too big to fit in my house so it sits out there waiting for me to install a fridge or something. It has a fantastic "3-phase to a poo poo-ton of household power outlets" thing in it.

I read "vacuum control system" and thought it meant the central unit of one of those built into the house vacuums. Possibly even more failed! eta: I always wanted to combine one of those with a razor blade disposal hole and make a convenient and easy way to fire rusty blades at any guests who might outstay their welcome. packetmantis has a new favorite as of 11:03 on Sep 3, 2021 |

Mostly relatively cheap PCs with powerful GPUs eating into their share of the pro market.

Lots of cool stuff I see posted and might want to grab something University surplus property departments are great. How they auction/dispose of stuff varies, but they can be a goldmine of neat old stuff. They're also not a secret, so you're still competing with professional scrappers and resellers, but there still deals to be had.

I am still fascinated by those early pentium 3 workstations SGI made that were not at all PC compatible. Sgi were also one of the many victims of the itanium project - they bought into the hype and assumed itanium was the future, and stopped developing their high performance MIPS line (and the IRIX OS to go with it - their itaniums ran SuSE linux). The writing was on the wall before they switched, so I can't really blame intel for their demise. Still, it's impressive just how many different CPU architectures and OSes itanium killed while simultaneously being a complete flop.

It was an absolute masterstroke in cleaning out nearly every non-intel architecture. The only reason I don't see the entire arc of itanium as a 3D chess powerplay is that they were so dedicated to it that it allowed AMD to establish amd64/x86-64.

GutBomb posted:When I used to smoke I smoked Canadian cigarettes which came in these huge flat packs with pictures of rotted lungs on the packs. I used cigarette cases. That's the same reason I started using a case too. I also found that having them all laid out side by side gave me an easier time keeping track of how much I was smoking when I was trying to limit myself.
