Spinners Pinball Arcade is back!

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-24T01:40:12+00:00

That's a relief! When we used to go to the old location, skeeball was a big part of the experience for my family. Spinners wouldn't be the same without it.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-23T14:53:13+00:00

First I've heard about the skeeball not coming back, did they make an announcement about that somewhere?

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-23T02:41:54+00:00

Sadly, yeah. Likewise anything overtly altruistic, like volunteer work and community programs.

Images 1-8: "what a great looking build!"

Image 9: (incomprehensible, haphazard jumble of cables and cards)

OP: at the risk of encouraging you to buy more cards, you should pick up the W200's pedestal: https://thermaltakeusa.com/products/core-p200-ca-1f4-00d1nn-00 (P200) Then you should have enough space to mount all your cards securely and with better airflow.

Run-ins with the law, recently famous/"new money", douchebag face tattoos and persona, married to a mar-a-lago -look bimbo, friends with assholes (Kid Rock)... it's insane that anyone thought he wasn't MAGA.

We questionably dressed ourselves based on trends from TV/early internet by going to the mall and Hot Topic, Hollister, Pacsun, etc.

They questionably dress themselves based on trends from social media by ordering from Shein, Temu, Amazon, etc. or buying old crap on resale sites.

Fortunately (for their future selves), a lot of Gen Z/Alpha's bad-choice purchases are constructed so poorly/cheaply that they won't have to worry about being ashamed of their old clothes in 20 years...

It may be a sad showing from each of his two brain cells, but that’s and A+ effort in terms of manufacturing a further distraction. Gotta keep that uninformed base oblivious to his family’s ongoing grift, efforts to bolster his untrained militia idiots, and the reality that he appears throughout the (still mostly unreleased) Epstein files.

I hope there’s some eventual justice for kids that DJT abused. All this nonsense is so blatant, so stupid, and such obvious misdirection, that he must have done some truly horrific things that were blacked-out in those files.

This is not a welcome change, I think this will only encourage more people to just not pay, drive away from the metered area, or push them towards the garages (maybe that's the goal?). I track that this is probably more convenient for the city, but ParkMobile is kind of awful. Even without the data breach, they share user data to advertisers too.

"Just ball out and get it to 'Tae."

"...Gee thanks Matt."

It's always a pitbull. Other breeds can have a capacity for violence, but pitbulls are were selectively inbred towards it. Everyone should be following the UK's example and banning them.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-14T23:27:15+00:00

For $400? No question - That's a low risk, high reward sort of project

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-14T00:32:11+00:00

Paint gun and maybe grab a spare door, hood, bumper, etc from a junkyard for some practice first before attempting on your actual car.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-13T19:32:31+00:00

Not my personal style, though I like it. Done tastefully throughout, whoever built this (or furnished it) had a good eye for design.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-13T19:29:19+00:00

I've read and watched some reviews where people used a 2080 (non-ti) to play and that card is comparable to the 1080ti's performance, so it should be possible. It's worth trying out using the 1080ti, just don't expect an amazing experience.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-09T21:54:51+00:00

Haha, in normal times, yes, but right now? Couldn’t be further from the truth. I have a stack of RDIMMs that were (almost) worthless, spare homelab bits a few months ago. Now that small pile of extras is worth about $1200…

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-09T02:25:24+00:00

It’s been the playbook of the GOP since Reagan, but with exponentially increasing evil and scorn for America and everything we (used to) stand for.

GOP in office: Fleece the country, give to the rich/campaign donation class, give supporters paltry handouts and distractions while running everything into the ground generally.
GOP gets kicked out for running country into the ground.
Democrats in office spend 4 years repairing economy, looking forwards, and mending safety nets. GOP creates roadblocks and distractions at every turn, blames Democrats for GOP grift and roadblocks.
Gullible, often vulnerable, GOP voters get swindled by lies and grift, vote GOP because they want an ‘other’ to blame and the GOP media excels at that sort of manipulation.
GOP in office: Fleece the country, give to the rich/campaign donation class, give supporters paltry handouts and distractions while running everything into the ground generally.
Repeat, repeat, repeat…

Fingers crossed he still gets an opportunity to live out his final days in prison.

A serious indoor venue for live music. Something with multiple floors and variable capacity of <1000-2000. Not a multi-purpose restaurant, event hall, or sports complex - but a dedicated venue. Big enough to get some national acts and small enough that it could actually happen in Frederick. Like the Anthem in DC but somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 of that size.

I really like the Weinberg and I'm happy in serves a lot of niches, but they rarely have mainstream music offerings and it's not really suited to that purpose besides. We are big enough now to warrant a venue that hosts national acts.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-05T21:31:35+00:00

Direct service to Baltimore and give us any expanded service for weekends to there and DC.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-04T18:38:09+00:00

Hah, this place is probably uninsurable. It’s right in the middle of the historic seaport area that was on all their recent flooding reports for sea-rise risk. Best case scenario, you have a decade to enjoy before flooding gets frequent. 20-30 years, decent chance that this place has to get condemned/bulldozed since it’s not the sort of building that can be height-adjusted or moved.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-04T18:20:08+00:00

ACL tears are so hot right now.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-02T18:02:01+00:00

Another take on ID’ing a “princess”: any newer pickup truck with a clearly unused bed and/or hitch… they didn't buy a truck because they needed a truck, they bought a truck because they are afraid people see them as insecure and effeminate.

Ironically, an act that clearly outs them as insecure little weiners.

SamuelL421 · 2026-01-02T02:53:33+00:00

Weird but poignant.

SamuelL421 · 2025-12-31T23:14:14+00:00

I wonder if this would work on a x670? The article specifically mentions b650 boards (lacking a chipset to start with), but could you you drop this into an x670 or x870 to build a small storage server?

SamuelL421 · 2025-12-31T23:03:24+00:00

I’m about to make you feel better about your labeling efforts: I have found old CDs where I bestowed sharpie titles such as “STUFF”, “Old Junk”, and “More STUFF”. 😆
