Why the gently caress would you not get addressable rgbs? Yes yes I want boring blue when I could have a rainbow pattern. You should feel ashamed of yourself.

The shameful thing is the lack of Elden Ring in your stack of games! (Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima are great. Have fun!)

You should feel ashamed of yourself. As cool as that would be, the last time I had ambient lighting in a car (a Fiesta, somehow), I literally kept it one color the entire 4 years I drove it. I intend to do the exact same here! Subjunctive posted:Well that’s sort of tempting…where do you get that sort of thing? Abstract Ocean is a great aftermarket Tesla supplier. They’re straight replacements for the oem bulbs. Literally just pop them out with a spudge tool, unplug, plug in new ones, pop back into place. I didn’t post but I bought some brighter trunk bulbs from them too, also an easy replacement

Yeah seconding IKEA. My TV stand is just a single minimalist shelf and it looks so much better than the style everyone used 10 years ago. It’s also held up for 7 years now. 2000’s era stands were god awful looking.

IKEA has a webpage where you can customize the besta cabinet systems with parts at ikea and it spits out an items list and cost for you. That’s how we designed ours.

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hemnes-tv-unit-black-brown-light-brown-10452303/ we have this one, which is all solid pine and way sturdier than the MDF ones they sell. Smells good too.

We got one of those in the “good” SKU some time back with actual wood in it and whatnot and it’s a decent piece of furniture. Helped a good bit by it being in the bent n dent discount section as well.

We use a midcentury stereo console. Very cool, but they do lack the storage of modern options. OTOH, you can gut them and put all your modern electrics in place of the old stuff, which I haven't done yet but keep telling myself I will someday.

I’ve wanted a Teenage Engineering OP-1 for ages but I don’t play much music anymore and I can’t really justify dropping a grand on a toy. That being said, I’ve been getting back into using my PC so I picked up a fresh set of keycaps for my Keychron K4 to emulate the aesthetic. Probably going to to mix and match with the stock keycaps and some more colorful/custom caps down the line. The hardest part will be giving the chassis a white paint job to match.

ReidRansom posted:I'm going to go out on a limb Yes! First time I'm tapping my gigantic silver maple, which I know doesn't give as GOOD as syrup as a sugar maple, but still should produce a decent enough product. It's almost 5' in diameter, so I should easily be able to get three taps into it, then a T connector to send them all into one bucket.

Pictured: that moment when your hobby turns into obsession, and your collection becomes hoarding. Joking. I always like your posts in this thread  . Is it for parts ? Or for repairing and reselling ?

A friend got me an EXTREMELY cool gift and I’m a huge dork and can’t stop showing it to everyone. It’s called the Caliputer, patented 1959 and this bad boy is a 4” vernier caliper, depth gauge, and slide rules with regular tables, lathe diameter surface speed scale for turning, circumference scale, and squares and square roots scales. It’s super rad and I love mechanical computers:

I have a small slide rule (that I never use...) cause it's just neat. I should get a bigger/better one and actually use it. But honestly, right now the time when I need one is literally never, I'm a PowerPoint engineer for the foreseeable future.  Went and got a Pamela's new workout. Was able to get some good sounds out of what I have in the rack right now, but not much by way of control, just a single clock, so wanted something that could do a lot more sequencing across modules. And Pam's is probably the second moth prolific module behind Maths, so it's gotta be pretty good right

I’ve been getting very tired of batteries, so I’m starting to include and make more dial and analog devices in my shop. Mechanical computing is neat, and I wish I had more of it growing up because I think I might have actually gone into engineering instead of falling into it

Wanted to make bleeps and bloops without my phone so I picked up my first Pocket Operater, the PO-16. Still wish I had an OP-1 but life is full of unfulfilled dreams. And I haven’t bought this yet but I put a deposit down for a fully loaded Hyundai Venue, my first car that wasn’t built before the Obama administration!
