Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!

Even better -- Terry Gilliam based them on drawings from medieval manuscripts (which I would scan and upload if they weren't miles away in my office. A book about them, not the actual mss themselves).

Oh -- like so:

Mad 1968 film about a pop star so influential that the government uses him for everything from getting people to eat a surplus of apples to boosting the economy through sales of products he endorses (ie, just about everything one can buy) to making him the centre of a religious cult

Yes. But just to clarify, they're hardcover collections, so each books should be about ~250-350 pages.

Bought some computer junk for a development server/plex/htpc kind of thing.

A refurb Dell


Wireless keyboard


Long USB extension (server is on a rack in the basement)


Needs moar ports


A big rear end HDD


So I can rip my kid's movies to that big rear end hdd

- Plexpass subscription so I can start syncing videos with my mobile devices.
- Crashplan subscription for the year. I have carbonite already but it's annoying that they don't back up video files without manually selecting every video file. I'm not concerned about movies and stuff, but gopro / kids videos I would have been really mad to have lost some because carbonite doesn't back them up automatically.

I have to admit, I spent way more than I had planned. I also stupidly bought a windows 10 retail license thinking I could use my old PC as a server - which I then found out was dead. The refurb dell came with a windows 7 license which I could have gotten a free upgrade to 10. Oh well. At least I'll have an official, legitimate "portable" windows 10 license now.

Harrier? As in the vertical take-off and landing Harrier?

The particular one I got is one of the cheaper models that just does bluetooth, spotify, and usb. I just didn't want to have a din pocket below my radio. Those line of Pioneer head units do have really nice digital crossovers, equalizers, and time alignment adjustments.

I am looking for more or less the same thing, but I would love to hear how you like the usb interface. It would be the feature I use the most but it is hard to find videos showing how the UIs work across different models. I am a huge dork and listen to a ton of old radio dramas and rarely do they work with programs that try to sort stuff by album/song/artist.

I may need to upgrade my RAM.

I tried the microwave portion of it, and it has an option that can check what you put inside, and heat it up accordingly.
Tried it with some leftover takeout, and It was hot all the way through, without being be scalding.

Speaking of great shoes, I just re-bought a pair of these (I already have a pair in a different color scheme)
Scarpa Zen Pro Hiking Shoe. Probably the comfiest and most durable shoes you will ever wear (at least at that price point).
I had Nikes before and they wore out so goddamn quickly every time. These last for months and miles and still look almost brand new.

I was mistaken, it was only nominated, didn't win... But the album is fantastic, I haven't picked up the Snarky Puppy album "Sylva" that won the category, but man, I can't believe this one didn't win it.. Perfect blend of jazz, funk, and Afro-Caribbean world music. Paid out the rear end for the vinyl, apparently it was only pressed in the UK, and gently caress if imports aren't always expensive. Great pressing, super hefty. I have dinner plates that aren't this heavy...

I played trumpet way back in middle and high school, and was pretty drat decent at it... It just fell by the wayside once I started getting more serious with guitar and bass. I definitely wouldn't mind taking up trombone as well, but figured I'd start with something at least somewhat familiar. Although all this new instrument buying is setting back my purchasing of an upright bass that I've been trying to make for the last 10 years or so.

Also on the list: Mandolin, tuba, a decent synthesizer.

Ha, trumpet mouthpiece tiny? Try a French horn on for size. I played trumpet for 7 years, was pretty decent (made the all-state band, but it was a small sate.) I picked up other brass instruments just fine, but drat, it was like starting all over again with the French horn.

I liked these things until they charged like $150 or $175 or something to come pick it up. I could have had a full size dumpster by the time it was all done, and I would have been able to get rid of everything at once instead of driving around and looking for a dumpster (allegedly) for the stuff that didn't fit in the bag.

Yeah, we did the math, and a one-time big dumpster would be a lot cheaper, but we don't have the time to fill it all at once. Over this year, we're doing a few of these, and just biting the bullet.

Full size dumpsters are a hell of a lot more expensive. I priced one once and it approached around $500 for 3 days for small size (5 tons of debris I think?)
