Ooh, fun! Will make sure my brother knows about this one.

Love the old Sandberg pics, even if the card isn't super old!
My brother just picked up the Red Lobster Sandberg. It was an in-season promo done during his first year, so it came out before his first Cubs Topps card. The first showing him in a Cubs uniform--and he's playing third!

For our 1st half marathon training, in Florida, we didn't drink enough water throughout. Wife and I went for 3 mile loops with 2 tiny little bottles, one for each, that I wore on a hip belt.
By 3rd loop, I'd be dragging ass, with small scuffing steps. We called it "Florida Kevin" mode. Not fun!

My wife tried a Camelbak but didn't love it. Any chance you've tried one and can compare to the Dikuer?

Yep! Use their setup guides. I got a Retroid Pocket 3+ when it came out. Currently rocking the RG556 as my main driver. Like the ergonomics and large screen. Doesn't handle PS2 great. But most of my time is spent with PS1 and earlier anyway

I always appreciate in depth reviews of tech that you can find online.
Except there is also always hyper critical and nitpick nonsense as well.
My recent experiences include monitors and handheld emulators. Reminds me of extreme opinionated Star Wars fandom.

I met Spring Fever Baseball after a game, and he signed my card of him. Really nice guy! Was only on the team for that one year, though.

The Expanse was so freaking good, i need to do a rewatch. And yeah, gotta have some long running shows in there like Simpsons.

And boy, we've come a long way with mobo setup and clean looks, haven't we? I remember having to set tiny jumpers on the mobos of 1990s. And this big, beefy card was my first dedicated GPU, rhe Voodoo5 5500! Look at those fans!

Good to know! I sadly went Intel for my build a few years ago, my aesthetic choices locked me into it. Oh well, at least my 14700K actually doesn't draw a ton of power when in normal desktop functions, which is a lot of my time (sadly).

Gotta love the 3D cache boost! And also a few extra cores, right?

I watched the heck out of that movie as a kid. Along with Batteries Not Included!

The 2014 Nats having Fister (5.4 K/9) and Roark (6.3) in the same rotation, and with ERAs under 3.00....

It's highly variable at my location. Sometimes it's amazing nectar of the gods. And other times I have to dump it after 3 sips. I'd say try again if you have the patience!
