Wow, I was not aware of that. I really liked balena. Thankfully, I haven't been using it since installing Mint.
My wife had to start laying her own.
Isn't that his MO anyway? I would have expected nothing less.
Me, sweating as I look around my office.
I don't really know where to stop this list. I love old stuff.
I'm surprised I don't see Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek Next Generation here yet.
I sooo wanted to rewatch that. But I just cannot get past the special effects these days. I thought it was great when it was on, now it's unwatchable for me. It's like, Playstation 1 cutscenes: the show.
Oh, that sucks! I'd say just play it on a PS2 because modding has gotten easier and cheaper for it these days, but I recently priced out some options for my cousin and it was way more than I thought. Like, if you get a system that boots but can't read discs for $30, that's a pretty good deal! And the easiest and cheapest option is a $20 memory card from AliExpress that you can load FreeMCBoot on, and all your games. But then you have to add in the controller, and those as-is systems usually don't come with a power supply. And you likely need an HDMI adapter. I don't know if you can put the whole thing together for under $100.
Easy! I'd have to say the Tudor Black Bay Heritage. It was my first Swiss watch, and I loved it ever since it came out in 2012. Long before I could afford one. I cut an ad out of a jewelry store catalog and hung it in my cube as a "someday" kind of inspiration, and couldn't afford one until 2020. I picked it up March 5, pretty much right before that whole year went to crap.
It's also the watch I wore when my daughter was born, so there's a lot of memories associated with it.
It's not super expensive, as far as luxury watches go. And there are a lot of things about it that other watch collectors don't like. Oh, there's no crown guards. Oh, you can't have Snowflake hands with round indices. Oh, it's too thick. Oh, the riveted bracelet looks bulky. But I love all those things, and it was the inspiration of more than one Invicta mod of mine until I could get it.
Edibles, video games, and luxury watches. My wife has threatened to remove limbs if I bring anymore watches home.
I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.
I've been playing San Andreas on the PS2 recently. Man, I miss that era of gaming.
I really don't know why. I don't take that many notes. When I'm in meetings, I've been telling people I color code my notes. But honestly, I have just been switching pens at random.. I'm never going to use all this ink before they dry up, and it's going to be a pain to clean them all. Normally, I'll only have one or two inked at a time.
It took probably 10 hours of troubleshooting going off his troubleshooting guide. There was a tiny short i couldn't even see through my jewelers loupe, but measurements said it was there. So, I scraped between a couple pins with my smallest tweezers, and boom. Done.
Then, after I finished, I discovered there is a newer and better version of this mod, the iFlash2PS2. The IDE Resurrector only supports up to 128GB cards. The iFlash can handle up to 1TB. And it looks like slightly less soldering. So, learn from me. Do the iFlash.
I'm assuming you all know about FMCB, and how to rip your discs to ISO files. If you don't, this is a great way to save your console that won't read discs anymore, like this one I picked up in an "as-is" bin super cheap at a used game store. I'd look up Tito from Macho Nacho's PS2 mod videos.
Here's a pic of my terrible wiring. Yes, that's from a CAT5 cable. The wire is ordered for this mod wasn't small enough and I was too impatient to wait for more. It's very ugly, but it works. You're going to want 30ga to do this right. CAT5 is 24ga, and it barely, barely fits. Honestly, if i get ambitious I might rewire it later. The SD slot wiring is way easier than the board soldering. You can't see it of course, but I know it's there. And I'll have to see it again when I eventually install a Retrogem.
I have a toddler that's starting to get into Disney, so I've been expanding my collection. Last week, I got the Masterpiece Lion King boxed set. I already have a lot (probably a dozen) Disney Home Video CLV discs, I think I'm going to try to get the CAV releases instead.
I got this when he sold his house to move to an assisted living facility. It's just been sitting in my garage for a couple years. Busy with the kid and all that. Well, we just got a little child trailer, and I didn't want to pull it with my mountain bike so figured it would be a good time to clean this guy up. New tires and tubes. Cleaned and lubed. Waxed. I thought it was trying hard to look like an old Schwinn, so I thought some nice shiny fenders would help out with that.
I have so many memories of going on rides with him, and of him taking it camping. I always thought it was a nice looking bike. I'll have to show him a picture of it all cleaned up next time I see him, I don't think he's ridden it in at least a decade.
Next on the agenda is new brake pads, and some retro lights. Any other suggestions? Maybe a white saddle seat, or different handlebars? I'm pretty sure its only value is sentimental, so the best suggestions are cheap suggestions. Thanks!
I can't stand the SpaceMouse Pro. They ruined it! Why would they swap the nice tactile buttons for stupid gummy membrane buttons? And why coat the whole thing in nasty soft touch coating that is going to turn to goo? We peaked with the previous generation of space balls.
Since I've been working from home though, it has gotten quite annoying to unplug my SpaceExplorer and take it back and forth to the office. It would be so nice to have one of those fancy new wireless ones. But that's not happening, since they ruined it.
So, I added USB-C to mine, instead. Now, I'll just have a cable at the office, and a cable at home and just take the unit itself back and forth. I can even leave a USB-C to USB-C cord in my case, in case I need to use it with my laptop away from my docks! If anyone is interested, I can share the STL for the little breakout board mounting piece I made.
I tried just about every suggestion here, but still couldn't get an airtight print. This is transparent PLA. I'm going to play with my speeds and overlap to try to get it clearer, but it was dimensionally accurate and completely sealed the first try.
Don't look too carefully at the barrel, it's just a hollow test one. I was able to eyedropper fill and test the grip section with it, but the OD is wrong, and there's no real filling mechanism in it. That's phase 2 of this project!
Watch somebody post their Nuon collection now.
I have a fondness for the Game.Com. Most of the games are terrible, the screen is terrible, it's slow, and they try their hardest to just self-destruct. Mine is an amalgamation of 3 broken ones.
Here's an imgur link to my reviews of every game (except the elusive Wheel of Fortune 2), if you're interested.
I had a really hard time capturing the colors right here for the buttons and the minute hand. In real life, they're much closer than they look here. The GBA has a Funnyplaying IPS, and the watch is a HEAVILY modded Seiko SKX. Honestly, the only things original are the case, crown tube, and bezel at this point.
It started as a eBay Frankenwatch. Unfortunately, and obviously, the 6309 in it was useless. Also, it was completely the wrong type of crystal, just ground to fit. So, it got one of my spare 7S26's. It took a custom spacer to fit, and I had to grind a larger bevel on the rotor to fit it in the caseback. Hands and dial are Yobokies.
Edit: also, it came with no gaskets, even on the crown. So, it got a whole new set.
I'm pretty new to PETG, and have been really struggling with it compared to PLA. My latest print of this part is dimensionally accurate, but I need it to be air tight. It is very much not at the moment.
I have a Flashforge Adventurer 3, so the hot end and nozzle are one interchangeable unit. My higher temp nozzle is 0.6mm. My 0.3mm is only capable of 240. My last print was 0.2mm layers, with the 0.6mm nozzle at 245C. I used 15% overlap on my walls, and in order to keep my nice dimensions I had my cooling fan on.
Anybody have any advice on how to improve the seal? I'm tempted to try more overlap, with random start locations per layer. Do you think if I run it hotter I can get the layers a little thinner? Any advice would be appreciated.
My Virtual Boy Pocket. Black OEM front shell, red OEM back shell. Glass lens from Bluish Squirrel. It's a red led backlight mod, biverted. I used a 4 position switch and some resistors for 3 levels of brightness and off. Next to it is a BennVenn El Cheapo that my wife was kind enough to make a label for to match the scheme.
The action of the buttons is fantastic on this. However, the red backlight will sear your retinas out if you play too long. A couple of games of Tetris, and the whole world looks green for a while. I think it just adds to the Virtual Boy experience.
Is this per household?
