PSA: If you are looking for controller extension cables for your PC Engine, I just got some of these from Kraydad and they work perfectly. They're reasonably priced and are black, unlike many of the other mini din cables I've seen. Highly recommended. www.kraydad.com/mini-din-8-p...

I *really* hope that most of the posts and comments that I routinely have to remove from the Facebook group I run are from bots. Otherwise, we are surrounded by sadists and sociopaths, and that's a much tougher problem to solve than any governmental overreach.

The fascists are trying to wear you down so you give up. It's OK to take a break when you need one. When you're tired, rest so you can recharge. We have a long road ahead.

After years of searching for one in decent condition at a “reasonable price,” I finally have a Game Boy Light.
Yes, modern displays are better in every way, but I’m glad to finally have this electroluminescent goodness in my collection.

The best way to determine that the electronic device you thought was broken is actually fine is to buy a new one. Then, when the replacement acts up too you can spend three hours looking into the issue. Only to learn it was a privacy setting in your phone all along.

This afternoon I seem to have been signed up for a bunch of mailing lists from "legit" companies. I guess it's Spam since I didn't ask for it, but this is a new one.

The new crossmember is now welded to the floor, taillight panel, and the ends of the frame rails. Next up will be to close up the access holes that I cut in the taillight panel so we could slide the floor over the replacement rails. There’s still plenty to do, but today was a good day.

It turns out that the replacement crossmember’s flange where the valance screws in is slightly longer than the original. Once I figured that out, it made getting things lined up way easier. A few hours of convincing and panel prep and now things are clamped in place and ready to be welded to the car

The passenger side trunk floor is attached and I did a test fit of the new rear crossmember from NPD. It’s a heavier gauge of metal than the stock one which is not a bad thing, but it’s going to take a bit of convincing to get it where it needs to be in the car.

This weekend we repaired the TIG welder foot pedal and got the passenger side trunk floor in place. It’s going to take a bunch of creative clamping, but after some initial plug welds it’s looking like things are coming together nicely.

The passenger side rear frame rail replacement section is welded in. We battled humidity and a broken TIG welder foot pedal, but it’s in. Now to let the paint inside the rail dry before we attach the trunk floor. It’s a slow go, but we’re getting there.

We’re told that we should be concerned about TDA gang members. I only just now realized that the administration didn’t mean Tren de Aragua, they meant Trump Destroying America.

Apparently searching for a "phrase in quotes" doesn't work properly on the @bsky.app iOS or iPadOS app, but seems to on the web interface. What a weird bug.

It's ridiculous that the entire world's economy is riding on the whims of one demented asshole. Congress has the power to stop this, but the question is, will they?
