I bought health insurance. Also bought these cheap eyeglasses off Zenni Optical:  Hangtime 125116 in blue. Need some regular glasses so I have some time not wearing contact lenses for at least 2 weeks. Went as cheap as possible as I'll be getting this in early June:  PRK surgery that I've always wanted for the last 10 years. Come mid-June this will be me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJWSu9M4ffQ

OniPanda posted:I love vinyl even if I don't listen to my collection often enough. It definitely is the tangibility and the imperfection. And yeah, anyone who says digital is bad is full of poo poo because above the nyquist rate, you literally cannot tell the difference. Audiophile poo poo is extra hilarious when you're an EE. This is exactly it, I just heckin enjoy having physical vinyl from my favorite artists, or picking up stuff at shows and getting it signed. I find tremendous enjoyment in putting a record or artist I enjoy on the turntable and listening to the entire album, theres no other format I do that in these days. Plus all these new releases and stuff have awesome handmade spatter which qualifies as art imho. Someone had to roll the hot vinyl blob in colored pellets, so each one is 100% unique. Art is how we decorate space, and music is how we decorate time. Vinyl is the bridge between the two. The ultimate bridge is this dude, which I have one of his records. Its so cool seeing a physical groove be transferred to electro magnetic oscillations, amplified, and then piped through an oscilloscope where the impulses take literal shape into visual art before being piped to speakers for acoustic art.

I think this is a neat way to remember a trip, albeit I'd skip an entire suitcase worth of vinyl. The Mrs and I usually get records in the places we travel to, esp. if there's some kind of connection between the artist and the place. Yes, it's probably a massive cliche to get Bowie's "Heroes" while visiting Berlin, but... who cares? Ah, the Before Times

Unnamed brand shampoo/conditioner combo with caffeine and menthol. It's a cup of coffee and a cigarette that leaves a tingling sensation on the taint. Reminds me of being in other people's showers and finding out that peppermint or whatever bodywash does the same thing.

It's more comfortable than my bed and a huge upgrade from the 'found on the side of the road' couch I've had for the last 10 years.

No one who matters, do what makes you happy   Cracked and bought another bass, a Fender Jaguar, as an early birthday present. I really like Ibanez basses, but their PJ basses weren't really callin to me. Right now I have 2 SR series with active humbuckers, so I wanted something different. The Yamaha PJ I have is trash and I don't really count it, it's the bastard child and it sits in the lab at work. No pictures (yet), but also bought a couple of slots for blacksmithing classes for my partner and I

OSU_Matthew posted:Those blacksmithing classes sound really neat! What will you guys be making? Fire poker and letter opener. The first class we took at the beginning of the month was makin a barn hook. My guess is the fire poker will be similar mechanics to the barn hook but bigger. Letter opener is basically babby's first knife. There's a handful of actual knife making and axe making classes that I'm really jazzed to do, but class sizes are limited for rona reasons, so filled up before I could get in. They might bump the class size up later in the month though cause yeah, 5G coverage is getting better and cases are down. I'm seriously restraining myself right now from setting up a home forge. I really want to do it, but forging is inherently dangerous, so doing a ton of research on stuff before I start throwin money at it.

I want an ebike but most of them are more money than my car, and the kits to convert them are like half of how much I paid for my car. My car was pretty cheap but still.

mystes posted:Same. I really want one but when I look at the price I just can't justify it. Huh. As someone who already was into biking, they seemed pretty in line with new bike prices. I bought an ebike a couple of years ago. As an alternative to a car for a daily commute, it is awesome. But only if you have a secure place to put it on both ends of the commute. As a complete car replacement, it falls short in cargo and passenger capacity as well as having increased danger of theft at most destinations. I've considered using mine for grocery runs, but I'm just too paranoid that it would be stolen or vandalized in the short time I'm in the store. That said, I love it. It's very fun to ride.

I saw somebody riding an ebike while I walked to and from the store yesterday, I had no idea what they were so thanks for the info. Also, they didn't scream at me or fall over or plow into me for daring to walk on the sidewalk, but instead slowed down, passed me, and gave me a friendly salute, so they're already way better than regular bikes.
