SwiftOnSecurityDamn my launch PS3, which includes hardware to natively play PS1 and PS2 games, has a dead disc drive. :(
Everybody talks RROD for 360 but the PS3 was also horrendous. A terrible initial generation of hardware for both.
My home theater rack from ~2017
The final parts of the home theater are arriving this week including wiremold cable management and a second subwoofer. Eager to show the completed project. Been collecting parts for literally 13 years. If you want something just start now.
I feel something hidden in social media clout-chasing is how long-term hobbies actually manifest. Most hobbyists do not buy everything in one shot and assemble them for a YouTube video. It is a deliberate collection towards an eventual goal lasting many years. The journey is the destination.
You do not appreciate what you have until you've taken that incremental path. I am fucking blessed and I know the difference because I've lived it.
Stephen Collins@SwiftOnSecurity the progressive build of something important to you is the pleasure, right? Especially as you grow in knowledge as well, replacing inadequate, lesser products with new.
My archery and home workshop is like this. I live on 100 acres, and everything here gets used on the regular. Nothing is a wasted purchase.

That cable will quickly become a wasted purchase if you persist in coiling it around your elbow.

@zl2tod @SwiftOnSecurity yes. I need to unroll it out in the sun, let it soften, and then get it on a roller of some sort. I have never found a good method, so am happy to take suggestions.
@zl2tod @SwiftOnSecurity re-rolled both of my heavy-duty outdoor extension cables. Not perfect yet, but not all twisty like they were. The two-tone needs another pass or two to be as it should be.

Nice!
I tie a piece of about 4mm polyester cord long enough to go around twice and tie a bow near one end to tie it together. Some people use velcro.
When it's good you should be able to hold the inside end (from the correct side) and throw the cable out cleanly without it turning into a bird's nest.
