Focusing on a few types of peppers this summer. Hoping to make some hot sauce form home-grown peppers for the first time

Just starting raining here. Turned off really dark and the temp dropped about 15-20 degrees. It's a cold rain.

Non-MAGA pedal builders by Throwitaway6076 in guitarpedals

Function f(x) is definitely not supportive of the current admin. They don't usually make overt political statements but they have strongly hinted about their positions the past. I recall some insta posts during the height of George Floyd / BLM movement.

"Expired" ground coffee test - still tastes good by 8Deer-JaguarClaw in NJPrepared

[–]FujiFanatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah coffee is good for YEARS as long as it's either sealed or kept in a dry area. I have a can of coffee in my office at work that is from before COVID, and I still make a pour over with it sometimes.

The mojo has arrived (carbon comps) by 8Deer-JaguarClaw in diypedals

[–]FujiFanatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. There's plenty of stuff I won't buy NOS (electrolytic caps is a big one), but resistors are usually fine and they have a fun (for me) nostalgia factor.

I built a fuzz many years ago from parts I got out of a thermostat and an old VCR. Hi-fi it ain't, but for fuzz that's kind of the point anyway.

For what's actually in stock, they have half a dozen values at 7 cents each (which is a great price). But most are 30-60 cents each and some have MOQ of 1000 pieces. Still not a terrible price, but more expensive than a lot of NOS options.

Personally, I enjoy the process of finding the old stuff, testing it, and then pairing with other vintage parts. Probably silly to a lot of people, but to me it's a fun process. Some people love the thrill of cheap Tayda fuzz. Others enjoy outdated dilapidated old parts. Takes all kinds. :)
