    What do you like to eat when you don’t want to cook?

    Food done fast really does get so, so much better than fast food. You’d think in a tinkerer forum, we’d be great at fooding. Recap an obsolete Mac? Retrace a battery bombed hasn’t been made in 30 years logicboard? No problem! Plate some sliced cured meat n pickles? That’s it I’m going to McDs. :D

    What do you like to eat when you don’t want to cook?

    Mmm I love jamon Serrano & Iberico. Spanish cured meats and hitting the tapas bars (ie: wine) are big reasons I want to visit Spain - that and my wife's people are Spanish and Italian and Native American primarily so it would be really neat to reconnect her with that Mediterranean culture. Maybe...

    What do you like to eat when you don’t want to cook?

    Woof man! :D Fast fake food just gives me a gross belly ache as my body tries to make heads or tails of what I just ate. I attribute it to the indigestible additives like foodgrade celulose, trypsin laden soy based fillers etc. and spans most FF chains as their use is ubiquitous through the...

    What do you like to eat when you don’t want to cook?

    My boys will love this. I have all these things in the cupboard. My 4y/o is kinda pissed at me because I ate all the meatballs (honest mistake) so one of these should do the trick.

    What do you like to eat when you don’t want to cook?

    Yanno, when I price this stuff out, even in this crappy, inflationary c19 economy, you can still easily eat better (& healthier) this way than through a gross drive thru for similar money … and this includes the wine and you don’t have to cook a darn thing lol. I love tapas & charcuterie. Also...

    What do you like to eat when you don’t want to cook?

    What do you like to eat when you don’t want to cook? Fast food & leftovers don’t count. 🙂 Me, as much as I love left overs, it has to be charcuterie & some hooch. What do y’all go for?

    iBook G3 is the teardown from Hell - stripped screw

    You can use something like a McMaster electronics screw extractor. They're around $10 a pop but work well for these sort of stubborn stripped screws and saves your plastics.

    G3 All-in-One: Typical Restoration Necessary When Buying Used?

    Haha oh mah gosh. When you said g3 AIO, an angry Krang Molar mac is the LAST mac Id have thought of :D I have zero idea what a fair price is on one of those - definitely outside of what I collect. Best of luck to you though! 🍻

    G3 All-in-One: Typical Restoration Necessary When Buying Used?

    I think that is a crazytown price for a local AIO imacg3. The last two I picked up this year (one just last month) was $15 and $50 respectively & the $50 unit came with kb/ms, software and a bunch of other neat era peripherals like bondi floppy drive, bondi USB hub, blueberry Zip, floppy to SD...

    Advice re: What to do with MacBook2,1 (Late 2006)--Worth Repairing?

    Oh wow $70 is way overpriced to Dallas. OWC has 4gb (2x 2gb) PC2-5300 DDR2 kit for 18.99+S&H. Shipping to me stateside (not too far from you) is $4.00 for 5-7day. See below...

    Advice re: What to do with MacBook2,1 (Late 2006)--Worth Repairing?

    Are you sure someone didn't accidentaly spill something like morning coffee on it? Maybe its old sticky flux goo that didn't get removed during manufacturing? Assuming components are good, I agree - a good clean, stick a $20 120gb sata drive in it & a $20 4gb PC2-5300 DDR2 stick (or 2x 2gb kit)...

    ENDED *Christmas Photo Contest!*

    I have two that burnt out so will take a small modeling dremel to them to see if it's something I can retrofit with a normal c7 bulb (put them back together) and keep them going. It really seems wasteful to throw them out if I can get a new bulb in the sealed plastic base somehow. The cheapest I...

    ENDED *Christmas Photo Contest!*

    My DD is a 2009 2.26ghz IC2D MBP - gift from IT director at work. He knows I like Apple stuff and was going to recycling otherwise. The 20” ACD was bundled with a PPC 2ghz DC pmg5 Craigslist pickup couple years back. Nestled in between is Moms nativity set when she was a kid. The bubble bulbs...

    Ridiculous things you want to try and do...

    My wife loves to star gaze. It was a hobby as a kid and became a passion of hers when she took some astronomy courses in college. kids and life has dulled that somewhat but she still gets a kick out of looking up. We are lucky to live where we do as during the summer we can drive back into the...

    Uhh, I would like to run a wire out my office window and from that an antenna camouflaged up my Russian Olive tree in the front yard for some ham fun. It would be cool to broadcast a radio station from it. I would also like to point a camera up at the stars and run that wirelessly to one of my...
