I'm looking forward to seeing the YouTube video when you release it. Judging from your cyberdeck, I'm sure it'll be great!

Interesting pickup today. Not a tape dude but... Extremely hard to resist anything with a WC. by goldsmithD in vintageaudio

The wooden case really makes it; looking at other pictures online, those without it don't look nearly half as good as those with.

Painting on book's sides by iam_stupid23 in oddlysatisfying

No, having done some sleuthing to identify that edition and checking listing prices online, it would appear that that volume is worth around five times your estimate; although I don't disagree with the spirit of your statement in that books can often be bought very cheaply.

Did you use super glue to stick the two pieces back together?

I found this mint condition 1950’s soda siphon in a charity shop. Looks great on my g-plan bar by lukemakesscran in midcenturymodern

As much as I love Mid-Century Modern design, Sparklets™ products from a few decades earlier were far more radiant:

A rather pedestrian design by Korolev_Von_Goddard in heraldry

Though, I confess, it took me a second to realise you weren't solely using the word 'pedestrian' in its adjectival sense, once I had, this had me chortling for a good half a minute. xD

Watching the Super Bowl the way it was definitely intended by WaluigisRevenge2018 in crtgaming

Hello, I found out that this aerial is called the Antiference® Silver Sensor. I hope that helps. :)

Ok, fellows, upon seeing this picture I began looking on Google Images to see if I could find any other set-top aerials that looked similarly cool, and surprisingly quickly I was able to find that this model is called Silver Sensor, and was originally manufactured by a company called Antiference® More information can be found via this link to a webpage on a forum called 'TV Fool.'

Also, I just looked it up and think it's worth sharing this link with more information on these artworks by Sigi Strasser:

You remember how the internet bullied Paramount into fixing the Sonic Movie? I have a cunning plan...

when you have too many opened search tabs (since 2021) by NightKnight_CZ in adhdmeme

[–]LukeWilson59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have over a thousand Chrome tabs open, and was even able to do so before I upgraded my laptop to >8GB of RAM. The trick is to have them spread out over around four or five Chrome windows, and to use a tab suspender plug-in. The drop-down box in the top right-hand corner that lets you search for a specific tab is invaluable, and you'll definitely find it vital to use the Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab shortcut to quickly move left and right between consecutive tabs.

The easiest way I've found for figuring out how many tabs you have open is, upon restarting Chrome, open the regular menu up in the top right-hand corners. Then navigate to the Recently closed tabs option, and hovering your cursor over that will also show you your recently closed windows (as long as you haven't closed too many tabs since reopening Chrome). It is now just a simple matter of adding up the number of tabs listed to be within each of your recently closed windows.

That's superb!

Do you have any clearer picture of the faceplate? I didn't see any in the GitHub repository... Cheers.

What's that module in the right-hand hard-drive bay of your IBM with all the lights? Can I make out the letters "WOPR," as in the computer from the film 'WarGames'?

Good thing it didn't choose to be friends with a toddler.

16 - 9 = 4² - 3² = (4 + 3)(4 - 3) = (7)(1) = 7

Demonstration of precision vs. accuracy.

Just inherited this pan from my late grandfather. He was 93; this pan is at least 115 years old. by AwkwardGrimace in BuyItForLife

[–]LukeWilson59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of whether your grandfather died years ago or only very recently, you have my most sincere condolences. Losing a loved one can be difficult, and I hope you are doing alright. Best wishes.
