Yes, our great northern enemies who are doing something so insidious as trying to help people stay alive when our own Gov't won't.

New conservative brainwashing argument heard today. The parents of trans kids are homophobic and would prefer a trans child to a gay one. Clearly these people have no concept of reality.

Went and saw Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii in IMAX tonight. 5 bucks, what a steal.

First listening impression of this amp I've been building, i didn't fuck this up. Finally a 6L6 amp, and its rocking metal tubes.

There are too many options for things to watch, so I will end up watching reruns of something I've seen before and don't care about just because I don't have any further capacity to make a choice today.

This story is one of the most bat shit insane things to ever happen. The fact that they didn't all die is absolutely amazing.

This is a perfectly sane way of designing a circuit. 340v of supply, 12ax7 voltage amp direct coupled to a 6cg7 differential pair inverter

Happy mutant bunny day to all who celebrate

Supposed to be somewhere 15 minutes away right now. I was ready to go an hour ago. Waiting on other people is frustrating.

This place has everything. Got a radioactive clock, an NOS AC compressor for my Mark 7, and saw someone packing so much there was a threadbare d*ck print on the pants. What a day.

Radio i use for a bluetooth speaker decided to output low garbled sound. Have zero test gear here so i took a flying guess and tightened the worn out tube sockets with pliers and its playing perfectly again. Yay for dumb luck repairs.

I have realized that my tragedy scale is wildly different than others. Sitting here listening to someone talk about a bad battery in their truck like the world is ending. I'm concerned literally about the world ending. A battery is a 15 minute annoyance at best.

just got back from the hospital with mom. She dropped her bike and broke her arm. Had to pull over for a picture, parked in a bad spot and when she tried to get moving she tipped it too far over.

Once upon a time i had a job that felt like I got useful things done. The last few years it's more like making sure my TPS report has the correct cover on it.

Yay, the 240v outlet that seems to have been used for a window ac once upon a time is still live, and i found the breaker. Need to put it back in service. Central air died, have a big through wall unit, and a hole in the wall. Now to put that all together.
