It's all good you guys. After a year I can confirm that the PS5 still has no games

I only had a base model PS4 before, so it's still fun to see all my games enhanced, and some even get free or cheap upgrades to the PS5 version.

Something might have changed but at least like a month ago the PS4 version of Elden Ring is slightly better on PS5 than the native PS5 version.

Returnal is loving amazing.

However, I'm still without a PS5 and I've had Demon's Souls for like 17-18 months, though to be fair I'm not trying too hard.

Oh yeah as a PS4 Pro 2 it's a really fun machine. Oh returnal is really sick too but I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea. The haptics stuff on it is incredible too.

My ThermoWorks Chef Alarm's replacement probe decided to go haywire during my pork butt smoking session (kept reading HHH°F after it got past 160°F) so now I'm debating if I need their BBQ-centric systems.

I've broken probably 5-6 probes for Thermoworks stuff. They're really sensitive to bending at the strain relief and liquid getting in that joint. Thermoworks is great, but there are cheaper options out there now. I'd probably get an Inkbird Wifi thermometer in the future, for maximum laziness.

Well, first there was The One and The One Two, so obviously the next ones had to be named The Three and The Three Two. Just common sense.

Saberforge Eco Disciple, Weathered. I went with the "Eco RGB" option which just seems to be the LGT EcoX core, but I can also swap it out later for a Proffie Pixel profile should I get something else down the line, and move this over to more of a show Saber vs a Stunt Saber.

I also grabbed with it a custom leather wrap for the handle in this tone:



Total was 250 ish so not a bad buy-in for something like that, and this one only had a 2-4 week lead time as opposed to the higher end 5 month lead times.

A rotating compost. Why does it rotate? Aerates the compost and it mulches a lot faster, it's also insulated so it works in winter. Good way to keep kitchen and organic waste from attracting flies and animals. Once it's mulched we just throw it on the regular compost heap.

A 55 gallon steel drum, some wooden sawhorses and a couple of 2x4s, and a pair of quad skates is all you'd need to whip one up yourself.

And maybe an angle grinder and some basic hardware to make some hinged access panels for it.

I have a similar model and it's real nice. Kind of a bastard to get the stuff back out, but it's doable. Still haven't really nailed down the raitos and that bugs me. We have tons of green from kitchen plant waste, but not much in terms of brown beyond the weekly newspaper I'll shred by hand and toss in.

e - OP you may want to consider getting something under there to catch the drippings/tea. I understand it's pretty drat good fertilizer and it'll stain concrete if it dries; though a pressure washer can sort that out no problem.

We had an Aerobin 200 for 3-4 years before and it did stain the concrete where I keep the trash can. I will put this one on the back of the house near the woods, I was thinking emptying these should be easy if I can just part the wheel barrow under it.

It cost about the same as a Warhammer Boxed set, so I can't complain.

Nice! I have an older Saberforge (Aeon I think, I'd have to check and :effort:) and I got the low-tier sound electronics from them and it's pretty slick. My only complaint is that I got a purple LED and it's really only purple at the base and then mostly blue, but it serves its purpose of "loving around with a lightsaber" quite well. The hilt has a nice heft to it too. The new electronics seem nicer for less money than I paid like 5 or 6 years ago too. Enjoy!

If you're like me, it's a rabbit hole. I started with a kyber light because they had a good buy in set and a lifetime warranty on the blade, but I wasn't a fan of the hilt. So I bought some parts off saberforge to build a new hilt, but the kyber electronics didn't fit so great, so I bought a golden harvest board. Then saberforge had a mystery blade sale, so gently caress it why not, oh also I want a shorter blade because I need to dual wield like a weeb. So I now have many lightsaber parts and I still want more because more.

They're pretty great to fight with. Even though it swings like a sword, it connects like a staff so it's a little weird at first, doesn't lock up quite like a sword. Definitely be a giant nerd though and have duel of fates playing.

Actually, despite being brown in color, coffee grounds are considered a "green" in terms of compost.

I started composting in January and like 90% is just coffee grounds, banana peels and egg cartons. I guess it's good we don't have a lot of food waste but it's probably more indicative that we don't buy enough veggies to begin with.

I bought a 12.5ft telescoping ladder because we have mice/squirrels in the attic so I need to get up there more frequently and cramming our 10' A frame ladder into the tiny closet where the access panel is became a pain. Hope it's secure!
