Dude nearby was selling this for half the price and he used it twice. It was on my "to get" list so It's alright

iirc, those are going for like double, even triple, the price that they were, since I think it's been discontinued. I have a second one myself for no real reason, and I got it for cheap.

My best friend and I game share in psn. He likes to buy very easy platinum games. So he brought The Cow G ps4 version, so I got that free and I bought the ps5 version so he could get the platinum on that version.

Not really expensive nor similar to what I got recently but I asked to a friend to 3D Print me some stands for my portable consoles and today he gave me the PSTV one:

Nice I have the offical dock that's nice and weighted bottom so don't tip over with all the heavy cables

Ignition switch for my ebike. Now no one can just walk up to my bike and turn it on. You’ll need the key first.

Bonus! I also get a voltage monitor!


Ps, probably over kill with the area I live in, but I really just wanted to see if I could do it right.

WEEB TREATS!

Went on a spree , the almond crush I get all the time , I had the winter Pocky before too and the chololate crunchy strawberry.
The rest I am trying for the fist time
first the bad , the Choco boy mushrooms were terrible, I usually get the Miji ones that come in the yellow and green box or the big bag , the brand on these say Orion and it is in English.
I love the meji ones so I figured these would be pretty much the same and they were on sale, 2 pack for 1.99 so I grabbed them
Boy was I wrong, they are HORRIBLE , the chocolate tastes like wax and the cookie part is not great either and they all have the stems crooked AF

Now on to the other mushrooms, the white colored ones say "cheese" and they are from the same brand as the Choco boy chocolate mushrooms , but the Orion logo is not in English, ( some form of moon rune but I can't read it)
I had tried the chocolate ones first so I figured I might as well get the disappointment out of the way and open the cheese ones ,but boy was I wrong these ones are delicious!
it must just be the ones they market to US consumers that are bad
,my theory anyways

They are not savory , they are kinda like a sweet cheese which is what I expected ,yet they do sorta have a tiny tinge of a savory cheese taste to them kinda like spray cheese but mostly sweet like a sweet cheese
I highly recommend.

the Meji chocolate and strawberry mushroom is really good as well but just about everything from Miji is so no surprise there

the Biscolatta I got at another store, an Indian store
they say product of Turkey , they are good but not great and you do not get that many
one time I found some hazelnut Pocky that look the same and they were much better but they were not made by Glico , maybe Lotte or Loacker I think , I have never seen them again though, it was years ago.

Anyways I think this stuff is making me sick , my pressure has been bad and this stuff seems to make it worse
I recently read that palm oil is really bad for you , apparently it is not just that is bad for the environment that people avoid it, I always suspect it was not good as no seed oils are but I read that the chemicals used to extract palm are very toxic as well.

Got a new pair of headphones that is older than I am, according to a rough estimate from the serial number printed on it it's probably made in '87. Got them for very cheap and all they needed in terms of servicing was new cushions, a new headband, and a good wipe down with soap. Sound amazing, round out my collection of the rest of the DT series (DT 770 Pro and DT 880 hanging in the back there), most likely the oldest item I now own.

I did add a piece of tape to the left hinge so I can tell at a glance (and feel with my index finger) which side is which because for some reason it's only printed very small on the inside which cup goes on which ear.

I usually buy them from floppydisk . com and polyplay . xyz and some times scoop some up from eBay. There's just something magical about booting up Pools of Radiance on my C-64 from floppy. lol

When I was younger, I left home and left all my C64 gear in a box in my closet and told my mom to NOT throw it out. A few years go by and I asked my brother if he could grab that box and ship it to me. He gave me the sad news that my mom pitched it all in the garbage thinking I didn't want it since it sat in my closet for so long.

As time and money allow, I've been assembling a modest C64 collection. I was talking to a neighbor about 'the good old days' of computing and mentioned my trusty C64. He said he still has his and it was in a cedar cabinet and was mine for the taking if I wanted it. I jumped on that offer! It was a MINT condition original C64. It was in the factory box, had a dust cover on it and smelled/looked brand new. Mine was a C64-C and a 1541-II floppy drive so I finally found a good deal on a C64-C (but it was modded with some toggle switch that activated a fast loader option) and it came with a 1541 drive, which was also chipped.

I have lots of joysticks, some Action Replay carts, tons of floppy disks, updated power supplies, a special cable that lets me hook the C64 up to a modern television and a device that plugs into the C64 that lets me load disk images from an inserted SD card.

Speaking of modern television, at work, they were tossing away a bunch of 4:3 LCD monitors that have built in speakers. I grabbed several of those and they work PERFECTLY for C64 use.

Ultimately, (when I round up a small pile of disposable cash), I'd like to find a mint-ish C64-C and a 1541-II.....and one of those Turbo Chameleon carts.

My Sd2snes and Super EDMDS V3 Pro(genesis everdrive clone) arrived today. They both work great.

Oven's control board decided to shit the bed and nobody has any replacement parts and it's old and kind of a weird size

So while I look into a replacement or maybe seeing if a soldering tech at work can fix the control board, ordered an air fryer. Been meaning to get one for ages to try out, and I suppose now might as well be a good enough time.
