    I mean we had VHS, I went to the theater because I had a 20" zenith in the living room with 2" speakers.

    And the broadcast movies were crap. You’d have something really nice once every few years.

    HBO really was a ready of light back then, but my TV was still tiny and sad by today’s standards.





  • We just test piloted a few for the first time since IBM stopped making them. I was really disappointed when one had a fan problem just outside of warranty, I went ahead and cracked it open. It was all Phillips screws which was kind of nice. They weren’t all the same which kind of sucks but not that bad. I went to pull the fan out to get a replacement, found out I had to replace the entire fan assembly heat pipes heat sinks everything. I was super pissed off until I found out I could buy the part off their website and it was 80 bucks. Dell won’t even sell me parts. 80 boxes a lot to pay for a fan, But when replacing it replaces both the CPU and the GPU fan and gives me fresh radiators, It could be worse.

    From a corporate standpoint I’m a fan.




  • It comes down to what’s open, how dangerous the condition is, and who was outfitted to do what.

    If you’re having legitimate trouble breathing like you are filling your lungs and it’s not enough, or you can’t get enough air in your lungs for any reason, straight to the ER.

    Unknown irregular heartbeat or chest pain that doesn’t go away with antacid, go to the ER.

    Urgent cares near me generally have x-ray equipment. They’re capable of a few stitches, they can handle prescriptions for emergent illness. If you walk in there with a f’dup heart rhythm or breathing problems they’re going to call you an ambulance.

    Scheduling something with your primary care is for all your other long-term needs. Preventative maintenance, blood tests, they can probably do an EKG and they should be the ones managing your long-term medications.

    If you have something that feels urgent and the urgent care isn’t open the ER is always an option.


  • City water usually tastes of chlorine. Totally drinkable, but not super pleasant.

    Costco 24 packs are cheap AF.

    Filtered water pitchers are expensive AF.

    If you have a fridge with filtered water and try to buy carbon filters locally, they’re more expensive per gallon than the Costco water.

    I buy generic filters in bulk that are cheaper per gallon, but it’s not by that much.

    If we want to save the environment, we need to invent a super cheap refillable carbon filter and a way to use it easily.

    I did. It’s a bit clickbaity.

    Yes Glock is a super popular gun.

    Yes it’s possible to make them full auto.

    Then the throw in some weaseling : turning up increasingly, police think it was used this one time, this anti-gun commission says. Spraying bullets.

    Glock has a reputation for quality, they’re cheap and reliable, not having a safety adds nuance of danger for those idolizing them.

    I’m sure there are some people using full auto Glocks, but they’re extremely rare. It’s not this new impending threat. They could have easily done the article detailing the full auto device or given real numbers of use. They’re in it for the clicks.
