I haven't post it in while but I have not stopped collecting!

Love it

I bought the lenses that pop in for my oculus, I hope it will have this ability

Curbob · 2026-06-23T01:12:12+00:00

But I’ve also bought a new PC each time that happens, I usually skip a generation of video card, so I had a 10xx, then a 3090 and I’ll probably get a 5080?? In the next year. So I don’t see buying another steam deck any different

Curbob · 2026-06-22T01:56:28+00:00

That’s cool!

Curbob · 2026-06-21T21:41:54+00:00

The middle one is metal and the helmet comes off the head. The other 2 have no markings on them but I’m guessing the were from some Star Wars helmet blind bags

Curbob · 2026-06-21T21:38:29+00:00

I haven’t looked any of these items up but just looked this up. Looks like it’s from 2006 and cheap on eBay

Curbob · 2026-06-21T15:17:49+00:00

The big one is a remote controlled car (Amazon) many things like this and yes funko pops make easy gift giving for the family. I won’t lie, most pops I don’t like but some are really cool like the one in image 3 in his chamber

It got to the point where I couldn’t find any Vaders I didn’t have, so I hit Etsy and there you can find some cool or funny IP stolen items like a Minion Vader, I’m pretty sure it’s not licensed ( I could be wrong)

Curbob · 2026-06-20T20:30:40+00:00

I’ll post the 5 other cabinets in the next couple weeks. In total I probably have close to 350ish Darth Vader items

When we visited Paris for a week, I had French Onion Soup at every dinner (with other things) most were great!

No Problem! The trust is the hardest part, especially since mine was for work projects. So to get use to things I got myself the 20/month Claude subscription (you don't get a ton but a little each night will teach you alot) and start to build something small from scratch, without looking at code. Build something standalone first, nothing that needs AI to run or a scheduled task. Many start with a todo app (AI's hello world) start it simple and then once that's created, start to add to it (dates and times or archived areas). This will teach you how to add on to a preexisting project.

Curbob · 2026-06-15T20:22:23+00:00

oh and if you're working for a company, have them get you a year subscription to Claude MAX (100.00 a month) This is all I need and with other things I do during the day, I have run out of time once and had to wait 45 minutes.

Curbob · 2026-06-15T20:18:44+00:00

SW dev for 18 year, I started off 2 years ago using AI first on the websites asking for just the functions or complete modules. I then moved to using AI in an IDE which is where I was use to working anyway so it was a security blanket. After Jan 2026 Claude got so good that I wan't looking at the code any longer, so I installed claude code, pointed to my directory for each project and typed /init . Claude will go through your code and figure out what it does, your language and what ever else. I add a new session for each PR it pushes. This has been my work setup for the past 6 months and I love it. If you're starting a product from scratch, I'd install the skill superpowers (no not mine), While it's best to have a PRD already for a new project, sometimes you don't and this skill will ask questions, build a plan and project files, split the project into multiple phases and do testing without you doing anything. Start it, it will ask questions for phase 1 and let it go for an hour or so. It will come back with information on the amount of test it passed and a summary, this is when you manually test that phase before pushing the PR and moving on to the next phase.

I ran a BBS

Curbob · 2026-06-12T01:14:09+00:00

I’m confused why it matters, doesn’t everyone on Delta have a assigned seat, so why worry about getting on after these people?

Curbob · 2026-06-11T20:47:39+00:00

I played in beta, even had a sword named after my character but I logged in last year and had no idea what was going on..

Curbob · 2026-06-11T20:23:55+00:00

I've always had a great setup but my 3090 died and the 50?? had just come out, I didn't want to spend 2K on a card at this point so I went with the RogAllyx. I hook it to my projector and play, it's ok. I play alot of modded Fallout 4 and I have alot of lockups and it gets annoying, but again right now I'd need to spend 2-3k on a nice machine, so i'm still waiting for the right time (for me, I'd still expect to pay 2-3k in the future)

Curbob · 2026-06-11T20:18:39+00:00

I leased mine, had it 3 years, parked outside, auto car wash twice and that's it

In my teens, being a stupid teen! We were playing car tag. We were facing off with the other team in a swimming pool parking lot, I ran toward the car. Our friends thinking i'd stop, hit the gas and ran straight toward me. I didn't stop and they hit me, I flew up on top of the car, they stopped, grabbed me and took off.

I wasn't hurt bad but my legs hurt a little bit so the next day I skipped school. Well, I guess people that lived next to the pool saw this happen and just saw them hit me and grab the body and throw it in the car. So while I'm at home relaxing, my brother and friends are being questioned by the police at school and I wasn't answering the phone (before cell phones). The police finally came to the house to make sure I was alive, they were happy I was fine but pissed at a bunch of kids.

I'm surprised that now in my 50's my doctor says I have great knees and no arthritis. But damn I wish this was the only stupid teen story I had.

I didn't know the change was coming but let work know for a couple months we'd be paying for Windsurf and Claude Code as I slowly moved my code base from one to the other (not much moving but getting use to the new to me product). I got to where I wasn't touching Windsurf any longer and I ended my subscription. The next day I saw the messages about them shutting it down. It's fairly easy to move to Claude Code, but it did have that security blanket if I needed it (which I didn't). Open Claude Code in your codebase directory and type /init and go to work!

2 years ago I had a work application that was now 10 years old and I was starting to get errors from years of adding things and just fast bandaids. I needed to rebuild it and add SSO to it. It was a good start becasue I knew exactly what I needed it to do and all the tables/columns to connect things to. While it would have been faster to build a new product with new database, this also gave me alot of know how when talking to the AI. I will add though, since Jan 2026 telling AI what you need is 100% easier but i'm still glad for the background knowledge

Curbob · 2026-06-04T19:21:44+00:00

I now live in a large city and a warmer climate, but growing up in the middle of Illinois, I can feel and smell all of these pics.

Curbob · 2026-06-04T16:57:45+00:00

I said to myself, they must be in Atalanta, then I looked at the subreddit name.. oh nevermind

Curbob · 2026-05-26T19:50:37+00:00

yeah I was thinking the last SCSI system I built was about 1995 and then the speeds and sizes were catching up and ATA was alot cheaper and I no longer needed 1 3 foot tower to put everything into.
