You can call posts here "tweets" now. Other guy isn't using it, no point in letting a good thing go to waste.

this however is a wiff. PS5 is currently CPI-adjusted within about 125 bucks of a PSX on release day, and a PS5 doubles as a 4K bluray player, which, a nice sony vcr would have been more expensive than a PSX in 1994 (~$350-400). Even the cheapest VCR woulda been ~$150 in '94 so, like, come on guys

On these long ones where they're not interviewing anybody I have found the youtube summary robot pretty useful. Here's today.
First one is overall summary and the last three is specific summary of the first segment.

Best I could do with the clunky kit lens on my sony α7 II. I wish I knew what happened to my old G.zuiko f/1,4 and had an adapter.
f/3.5, 1sec, 28mm, ISO 6400lol, vaguely north-northwest maybe 30/45 degrees up

so time to download the 3D cad file, a viewer, and figure out what dumb rounded off 3 digit decimal inch works out to in binary fractions like the ancient egyptians intended or whatever, and go get a 3/16 hex driver from the hardware store

Time for Benny to grouse yet again about Stranger Things, a show he has never watched but is set in 1980s Indiana and so is he so...
Okay so how big is this Hawkins town supposed to be again? There was literally 1 target in Indpls in 1985 (the other listing is in park 100 and must be a warehouse)

My corp laptop was up for renewal, and as i'm the purchaser, I put in the order yesterday a little after noon and selected standard shipping (4-7 days) since it was the cheapest.
It showed up ... 23 hours and 30 ish minutes after I hit order. I'm typing this with the new box sitting on my lap.
