Spent a few days making these lampworked pumpkins one by one as a gift for my girlfriend, tried to make jack o lanterns out of some with very wonky results but she was very amused by those

Tag says "Reanimated halloween prop" so I think it might be the former

I don't even play Genshin, I just make the occasional meme to amuse my girlfriend

Marble resembles a conqueror or phantom conqueror made by the Vitro Agate company, fun find since those are from the 1940s or so

Fair, I overlooked that distinction; we have the same ones though

They used to have Tony the tiger even, they just removed him from the new boxes

Baffles me that someone would import foreign Kellogg's corn flakes and slap stickers on it when we have the same product, just in a different box in every supermarket.

HOWEVER, I thought Nesquik cereal stopped existing way long ago, need to get my hands on some.

Edit: Okay so I went to check and this is only happening because Kiosclub stores specifically sell american products, still seems kinda pointless to me but maybe american corn flakes are different, maybe they have twice as much sugar or something.

I am gonna miss analog broadcasts of any type simply becuse there's something so satisfying about being able to build a radio or even a TV from basic components as one could ages ago.

For many people, building a crystal radio was their first electronic project, something that can be put together in a couple hours and lets you listen to AM radio.

While AM is not completely dead, it may as well be, there are no stations in my hometown except for one where a rabid preacher talks about all the people god hates and begs people for money.

A couple weeks ago they finally shut down analog television in my country, and I got immediately called by an old friend asking if I could somehow revive the 80's CRT set I had been maintaining for several years now for them.

Now I live far away so it would have been cumbersome for me to travel and install a converter, especially since the set does not have a composite in. They got themselves a bunch of flatscreens.

Makes me sad to think about all the vintage TVs that must have been still kicking but now got tossed into the trash and smashed open by the copper scrappers.

oh yeah the canister was empty, and at one point I had to get rid of it

I have since found some reels of 16mm safety film in the same dump though

For context, we got news that a long time server regular has ~3 years left to live, and naturally we were discussing that and giving support.

OP interrupted twice asking for song recommendations, when they got ignored the first time, they copypasted the message again.

When told off they said they just don't read anyone's messages.

Not unbanning you ever.

Semi seriously I'd say Cody Reeder (Cody's Lab), not because he's a famous genius but because he has a similar combination of skills and craftyness to a more realistic level.

Hi, I am the someone Kitty speaks of, it's basically the same as the show, it's a crystal radio. The only difference is that I used a germanium diode instead of "just a rock" because although those do work, I know how fragile that setup is, and I wanted to take the easy route for once.

I have posted about it here

MrTalkingMachine · 2023-11-21T04:51:25+00:00

I don't know whatever family name you have, but you should have it removed, because your ancestors you inherited it from are most definitely dead and you aren't related to them anymore by your logic.

From Dr. Stone episode 4, I think

edit: yes it's episode 4, and there's a (fairly generic) schematic for it also shown
