    You can only please some of the people, some of the time.

    Been there done that my friend and I can tell you it is an absolutely thankless job other than the comaraderie of like minds. :) DoI want to catch flack from a 16 year old (or worse a herd of them) who knows nothing other than how to pull strings and manipulate moderation? I dont think so. Way...

    Gosh darn it, that’s right when I sit down by the fireplace with my coffee to read up on TD 🙂

    You can only please some of the people, some of the time.

    Yes, you are right. It’s an impossibility, so I don’t expect you or any one on the TD team to be perfect. In fact I expect quite the opposite. I expect mistakes to occur, feathers to get ruffled, tempers to flare up at times and for truly good people with good hearts to show their asses from...

    Favorite commercially available coffee?

    Since local food & economy (local roasters!!!) rules, should we talk about our favorite local roaster brands in our respective neck of the woods?

    Favorite commercially available coffee?

    I am a stimulant junkie. I drink around 8-10 cups through the day every day. Cant be terribly healthy but has been the M-O since around the TOTC working in professional kitchens n the like. I mean it’s better than cocaine, so there’s that. 👹 FYI, my other preferred ubiquitously available...

    Favorite commercially available coffee?

    There is a local producer in my neck of the woods who has a vested relationship with the Costcos in my state - was just there this afternoon and piked up a 5# bag of their Pinon. There are a few roasters local to me that I patron as well, but are available reallyonly in my regional foodshed and...

    Favorite commercially available coffee?

    I worked with Rav at EE directly for years bringing EE coffees and teas to the coops in my neck of the woods (distributed through our DC out to 6 NCG coops I can think of and 2 non NCG). I have met him a number of times and he is such a gracious individual and has been co-owner of EE for a few...

    Attic dropped soffit air sealing

    I have three networks - a 802.11n 5ghz for streaming/TV/games in the den, 802.11n 2.4 for broad access (when Im out in the yard or on the north end of the house) and a 8.02.11b/g ape for my legacy mac/pc boxes. You are absolutely right about 5g networks, they're great if you're close to the...

    Attic dropped soffit air sealing

    That is how it is in my neck of the woods. Fireblocks are required between floors and a pitched roof. As I have a flat roof, I dont have to worry about that but I do have three floors as my house is that goofy 70's split level design (lotsa stair exercise anyhow 🥵 ). Running up from the basement...

    A1013? Advantages of having L3 cache

    Oh my, it's too early for benchmarks I just poured my first cup of coffee. :D And hello. 👋 You're the first MR regular I've seen over here other than FogWraith that I recognize. I agree with you. I bet for some cpu intensive tasks like music production, no L3 would cripple speed - for daily...

    Favorite commercially available coffee?

    I drink coffee on the daily but when I want a slightly different stimulant, I enjoy green tea blends. I "feel" like it is a cleaner, more focused bump vs the delightful twitchiness that is coffee. As far as Oat milks, have you tried making your own? Its quite easy and does not include all of the...

    Attic dropped soffit air sealing

    Well, at least the cable is already run so all you have to do is secure the cat6 to the end of the coax and yank the coax out and along comes the cat6 right behind it. I am actually thinking about utilizing the power lines in my house as a networking solution. The South end of my house has cat5...

    A1013? Advantages of having L3 cache

    Well, I’ve read about a number of folks online who have continued to use their powerbooks post L3 failure without much issue other than slower performance as the L2 loses the extra space to store instructions <— that is the benefit, support of the L1&2; more space to store cpu instruction sets...

    Hah, silly me, I assumed this was a quicksilver. Somehow missed pic1. I see now it is a sawtooth. Cool find! That is one that I do not have in my collection.

    Power Macintosh G4 - 733

    Well who cares. They look great and that is what matters. I am starting to remodel my kitchen tomorrow and will end with new butcher block counter tops and a farm sink. The ones in there now are original to the house and it was built in 1977! :D Marching orders from the better half - ugly...

    Power Macintosh G4 - 733

    Wow Ive not seen a CPU heatsink cover like that before. Also, that's an odd shaped heatsink. Can you indulge me and get a pic of the heat sink? Always amazed at how many different iterations of things Apple went through - none of my QSs are 2002 production so is probably why. A zip drive and...
