IEMs. Or speakers in general. I previously bought the cheapest cheapo crap and didn’t give much thought past “mmm bass go brrrr.” Then I spent a little extra on a nice set and sat for hours re-listening to albums just gobsmacked by the clarity alone. Lots of snake oil in the industry though.

My friend and I look for these occasionally. They’re often deployed with default passwords and never updated. Many seem to be set up to case businesses and houses and appear to be obscured from view. It’s super great /s
My first system. My confusion about it not getting a Nintendo quickly evaporated playing Hang-On, Outrun and Space Harrier (at home!) Such a cool piece of hardware. I remember being bummed by the lack of selection in stores, but still have a stack of bangers. I need to re-cap it…
Watch videos and practice on something that isn’t you if you can. It’s easy to goof up with long hair if you don’t use the right techniques. I have been clipper-cutting mine for over a decade now. Obviously that’s much simpler but it still took practice.
I had an OG one in US. I never met anyone else that did except my uncle. My first game was Fantasy Zone. Remember finding it very stressful . Played a lot of Psycho Fox, Space Harrier, built-in Hang-On and shooting gallery, Outrun, Rampage. Lots of weird games too. The Space Harrier and Outrun soundtracks were bangers.
Sponsorblock. Shorts blocker. UBlock Origin. Multiple Container tabs and stick it in its own container.
Hah, very true. i was thinking further back.
Everyone hates Sales except C-suite.
There’s a spot near me where 3 intersect right on the road. The pavement is in a different state of disrepair for each. You can see it and hear it driving along.
Parents got me this plastic grid with buttons containing the problem and when you pushed them, the translucent plastic would show the answer. I memorized them pretty quickly. Not sure if it was the right way to learn but it stuck with me.
My old Thinkpads and even my first iPad had SIM slots. I kinda miss that as it’d be much more handy now. LTE and the precursors were painful to use at the time.
Audio gear. Car parts. Laptop. All were due for an upgrade anyway.
My wife destroys me in puzzle games, farm management sims and difficult platformers that make me rage like Spelunky. Any shooter however, she is a bit lost but she happily loots away and explores while I’m demolishing everything. It’s nice having a shared activity we can nerd out about.

I was on-call and half awake when I got paged about a cache server’s memcached being down for the third time that night. They’d all start to go down like dominoes if you weren’t fast enough at restarting the service, which could overwhelm the database and messaging tiers (baaaaad news to say the least). Two more had their daemon shit the bed while I was examining it. Often it was best to just kick it on all of them to rebalance things. It was… not a great design.
So I wrote a quick loop to ssh in and restart the service on each box in the tier to refresh them all just in case and hopefully stop the incessant pages. Well. In my bleary eyed state I set reboot in the variable instead of restart. Took out the whole cache tier (50+) and the web site. First and only time I did that but that definitely woke me up. Oddly enough the site ran better after that for months as my reboots uncovered an undiscovered problem.
Vicegrips. Wirestrippers. A light screwdriver with common bits carried on its handle like a Sidewinder. Rake lockpick. SDR. Elevator key. Punch. File. Multimeter. Multitool with good pliers. Crank radio. Survival guide. Poncho. Silver exposure blanket. Fire starters. Multihammer thing. MREs. Good flashlight. Beater laptop like an old x200. Serial console adapter. Flares. Camping stove. Throw it all in a bugout bag after you learn how to use them.
I heard Ireland hiring is also for tax reasons. But I’m seeing them move to South Americans more and more. Uruguay especially. I know Big Blue hired thousands there after doing RTO in the US.
Yeah my dogs like when I make up stupid songs and make a fool of myself dancing. My deaf one does this head wobble thing and when I do it back she wobbles more vigorously and gets excited.
