    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Money pit for a reason LOL. I already am on to the next project which is tearing out the old carpet on the stairs and installing new oak boards which I have stacked up in the garage. Hopefully I get to that tomorrow. which I have about 25 or so to get done. It would be nice to get those cut and...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    I like this idea very much for the over the fridge space. Your custom shelve idea over the range are a good fit for this space I think. It would block light from traveling but would allow me to make custom shelving out of nice strong hard wood (vs common prefab manufactured materials) that I...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    I thought I did not have a photo of the old 70's kitchen as it was when we bought the place around the end of 2019 so have attached this for posterity before I forget. Where the fridge was is where the trashcan is in the pic. I see we have the advent hanging over it, so this must be Christmas...

    *Battery Gore Thread* NSFMacs

    Forbidden in the sense that it will burn all parts of you that come in contact with it. That is how I took that. Through that lense, the cap/battery barf destroy everything it comes in contact with. and tacos are fantastic. I think we should eat tacos on at least a weekly basis As a nod to...

    Best use for old spinners

    Who knew that spinners work fantastically as weighted presses when tasked with repairing your 5y/o sons MOTU packaging. I figure he’ll eventually want this back as the apple rarely falls too far from the toy nerd tree. 🤔

    Dark mode vs. Light mode

    Woof my eyes!! lol. I switched to try it out and was immediately blinded. With all the dark mode around, I need a 10 step program to make it back to light mode. :D

    A nice Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook (for free!)

    Very nice. These a1278s are one of my fav early intel macs. They do chew through batteries like no other but have served me well since I picked it up in 2008. Over the years mine picked up max 8gb ram, an SSD, and a backlit kb. The only thing I wish it had was FW & a card reader like the mbp...

    Best Food processor for Vegans?

    For sheer power and ability to emulsify, I am a fan of my vitamix 5200. We had four of these in the last kitchen I managed and those things were used all day long for everything from retail shakes, malts, lassis and smoothies to emulsified dressings and marinades to dips, soups, general meez and...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    I'm interested in what is going on in that white glass shelf cut off at the lower left corner. If it was left up to my imagination, those would be layers upon layers of vintage hand held carts and other retro gaming goodies.

    Very cool. How does the turn table work into the TAM? Is the amplifier going to the mic in?

    Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

    I was a writer in a past life so will refrain from that here. Simply put - 1.) Define and establish in plain language, board positions & term limits. 2.) Define and establish in plain language, cyclical limits - if any at all. 3.) Communicate a clear and concise path forward to said elections...

    Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

    Well, I don’t pull punches. How that sad story read to me is that your vision was co-opted by YT personalities as a platform to further themselves. You were useful in that you did the heavy lifting up front (I mean your effort wasn’t tied up in making self serving YT vids right?) and now you’re...

    Scooped a couple iMac g4s off CL free

    My 867 Powerbook g4's logicboard took a dirt nap last week so I have a random SSD I could stick into the 17". I already have an 800mhz 15" so I think I'll gift this 2nd one to my wife's best friend's husband. I have zero need for two of them. Now that I think about it, that SSD will probably get...

    Scooped a couple iMac g4s off CL free

    The 15” has been wiped. The 17” has some SQL software on it that I’ll back up to my NAS. Both are 800mhz. Both have little pressure marks on the lcd from little hands lol but is most noticeable in the 15. LCD bezel on the 17 is a bit yellowed so might be a neat project to cleanup this winter.

    Scooped a couple iMac g4s off CL free

    Scooped these today. I haven’t fired them up yet but both work per the original listing pics. I’m excited to see what software is on them. Free aside from the gas to get across town. I’ll fire them up this weekend & see what they are.

    Powermac G5 Bench / shelf

    I had a dream about these stacked on top of each other as a retro shelf of sorts - like 10 minutes ago lol & it woke me up. Weird dream in that I don’t remember too much about it other than I was a predator, my wife (who was normal) was giving birth to our child & there was a naughty alien in...
