Gonna need a survival suit if I go out today. Lake Effect Snow Warning extended until Tuesday. We already have over 24” (60cm) of snow. Hasn’t snowed like this in years.
@Adorable_Sergal The Italian restaurant has been there since the early 1980s. The waiter sits you at a booth. The wood is worn, but still feels comfortable. A contemporary music mix quietly fills the air. There’s a faint tinge of tobacco smoke from the smoking area in the other half of the restaurant.
It’s just around 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon - but a reservation isn’t required. After a minute, a menu and a tumbler filled with ice water is delivered to your booth.

@Adorable_Sergal You’re in the mall. To your north is Babbages. To your south is Radio Shack. There are assorted goods and curio shops to the west. There’s a dimly lit Italian restaurant to the east - you can smell the delightful and delicious scents before you see it. You have twenty dollars in your wallet and a couple quarters for a pay phone.
Been a long time since I did anything with the transformer model. Rendered in #Blender. Going to be replacing the cables on the 1H 750kV connections with aluminum bars. #blender3d #blenderart #electricity
Firewalls are partially transparent to not block the view of the transformer itself.
How Black Friday purportedly works - my understanding:
1. Item X costs $50 to make
2. X normally sells for $80
3. X gets marked up to $100 in November
4. Black Friday - X gets marked down to a Black Friday “sales price” of only $70
Or:
1. TV A costs $600 to make and sells for $700
2. TV A.1 is a cheaper substandard variant of TV A, costs $300 to make, and it’s sold on Black Friday for only $400
US folks - are you doing Black Friday shopping? (Boosts encouraged)
Yes - physical retail
Yes - only online
Yes - both physical retail and online
No

Going down a sort of memory lane here looking through old posts.
This is where I met someone who ended up being extremely influential to me here: @tvorsk! Unfortunately auto-delete nuked a lot of the conversation about the sounds relays made.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Just wanted to say I’ll soon be transitioning from mstdn.social to tiggi.es - Leo Burr’s Instance. Should be seamless.
It’s supposed to be joyful, but tomorrow is going to be an extremely challenging day for a lot of people.
Make sure to lend people an ear and some kindness - they might even need an extra bit of patience too.
