Me: So I have these baseboard heaters in my workshop that I don't use
Electrician friends: Uhuuuuhh
Me: They're wired up via 2x 20A circuits in parallel
Electrician friends: Makes sense
Me: If I don't wanna use the baseboard heating...Could I stick an L6-30R socket on there?
Electrician friends: No, you need at least 10 gauge wire, not 12 gauge
Me: Okay but what if I did it anyway-
Electrician friends: SHAUNATHAN
Not being able to work on goddamn any retro stuff (even CGHMN) for weeks at this point is taking a fucking toll on my sanity
Even Factorio isn't doing anything for me at this point
I love when I need to buy bulk items on eBay (like RAM sticks)
And I'm like "hey I'm buying literally 48 sticks of RAM. Literally YOUR ENTIRE STOCK. Can you do me like 50% off?"
And they come back and offer like, $2 off. $2 off 48 fucking sticks of RAM
Like for fucks sake it's DDR2 at least haggle *a little bit*
I wish sending a "Decline" would just forcefully put this as a pop-up window on their phone
I find it disappointing to remember that before this AI crap, SSDs were falling in price so rapidly that it was starting to become worthwhile to get one regardless. Like my brother got an SSD for his PS5 because it was on sale and he might as well slap it in. We’re talking pure commodity prices
Now that SSD is probably worth half as much as the PlayStation
#RetroComputing Fedi:
Events have transpired such that I now have a WinNT4 server. Thing is, I'm not sure what to do with it. What are some things that'd be fun to try, especially stuff that I couldn't do on a *NIX server? Is there an archive of old ASP scripts out there somewhere?
HEY. GAY NERDS (affectionate). I've got at least 8 days left until my workshop has internet and also I need money for groceries and stuff ;-;
Would YOU like a Pride Finder for your Mac? I'm still doing them for a whopping *five dollars* via Ko-Fi.
You get a transparent PNG of Finder with your flag choice that you can drop into your Mac and replace the default Finder icon with.
You also get the PSD file just in case you wanna tinker with it after the fact.
Hit me up via Ko-Fi <3
Boosts *greatly* appreciated as well!

EDIT: To clarify. YES I can do any pride flag you want. Just lemme know which one in the Ko-Fi post <3
