Yeah he’s so good in this, plus a pre-mid career C Thomas Howell

Me, looking at the pile of β€œWhat’s in the Box?” bootleg Mountain Monsters merch I was about to list on Etsy: well, shit.

Honestly, if you ever wanted to get that data off there so you could access it in an emulator, I’d be happy to help.

An Apple IIGS on a desk

Got the Apple IIGS working and set up in the living room. Wound up replacing the ROM, clock battery and the Ensoniq sound chip (turns out those can die!). It’s using a CFFA3000 for the HD and a FloppyEmu for disks. Using a Retrotink 4K to scale the output because this monitor’s VGA scaler is bad.

You ever hear a song you’re certain is some AI bullshit and then find out it’s just Nickelback?

My math might be wrong but we’ve definitely had it at least 10 years!

Bonavita Classic 1.0L Gooseneck Precision Temperature Electric Kettle| Precision brewing with Bonavita Gooseneck Kettle: 6 presets, 140Β°-208Β°F hold, 1000W fast heating, BPA-free, stainless steel, and a 1-year warranty

I’ve owned this Bonavita for almost 15 years now. At one point had to replace the lid because a screw rusted out but I think they fixed that flaw with the new lid. Been otherwise flawless. bonavitabrand.co/products/bon...

Probably nothing to do with anything but this solder joint on the neckboard is basically nonexistent.

Been starting to do the math on extremely early forced retirement supplemented by a return to minimum wage retail work, as a worst case scenario. A really fun way to visualize your 50s!

My trainer made a typo for the last set, I gave her shit about it, and so she actually made me do it.

She’s worn a lot of powerful outfits in a lot of terrible films, but this one is really up there.
