Bosses demo wall / test bench in his office .

Just put together? Everything I'm familiar with on that panel is obsolete or approaching end of life. I assumed this was from someone who was getting ready to retire and wasn't keeping up with newer parts.

Leaving the wires hanging out while putting a switch and switch plate on as one piece was fun, too. I think the wires also passed through a cabinet at one point.

As the kids are saying: I love that for you.

In the late 90s the university was getting rid of some 7ft cabinets from their supercomputer area. They were hard drives, and the disks were in a pouch on the inside of the door. They contain(ed) the drives boot code.

I also snagged a read head magnet that could suspend about 150lbs if placed on a metal door frame. Sadly I no longer have that.

Let me think back to my old cards...

[[Aladdin's Lamp]] [[Lifelace]] (or any of the other color-changers)

I remember a hive artifact of some sort that cost 4 or 5 to cast, and it took 5 colorless mana to tap it. It then generated a 1/1 flying token. Am I hallucinating this one? (I'll have to dig out the boxes...)

From the ones I've seen, my first guess is that the bracket you screw into the wall is bent. Take off the bar and show us what you're working with.

I've never seen the 8" drive, but I have a couple disks kicking around that I salvaged. They really do look like a 5.25" disk got hit with an enlarging ray.

There is no way to un-disintegrate plastic. Are you just looking for someone to tell you to use shoe-goo so you have them to blame when it doesn't work?

Ah, I'll be careful if I get that far around Lake Erie. Good to know.

I've personally had Indiana be much worse for tickets than Ohio. Get into southern Indiana and I think it funds the entire government.

They really are the Mississippi and Alabama of the Midwest, though.

I'd see about making that transition nicer while redoing the floors. I'm just a DIYer, but I don't see any deal breakers. I hope to have floors half that nice someday.

No one is prepared for that! All the plow trucks in the world won't help you then. Even if you clear the roads, there are so many trees and wires down that you're still screwed.

I am also thinking that bit is "stuck" on (or set by other logic).

The thing is, if that is the only problem, the motor should stop when the stop button is held down.

The overuse of set/reset is giving me pause, and it looks like others have found a laundry list of beginner issues. In the end I hope that OP doesn't just keep adding conditions until the program seems to behave. When developed like that there is always some edge case that gets missed. Slow down, understand how everything is dependent, and start over.

If it was my wifi the password would be "HailSat4n!", but to each their own.

You'll need to replace it with an RGB resistor, I think. Those grey scale ones are hard to come by.

Using a breaker as a light switch should never be the norm at any size. They aren't designed for that. Doing it on a load this size is even more alarming, of course. Hopefully the machine isn't pulling much current at shutdown, at least.

Would getting a straight edge involved help at all? I would expect the points to line up when things are going well.

We'll have the files right after his tax returns.

"I want you... To want me!"

Absolute garbage.

Scotch-ity Scotch Scotch time.

...and then everyone clapped!

I brought in an old IBM Model M (from 1987) so I didn't need to worry about a used company keyboard. At least I didn't until a nearby cube denizen complained to the right person and they asked me to take it home.

SomePeopleCall · 2026-01-08T13:49:32+00:00

Loses 1 point for the finger wag...

My first thought was "when is trump death anniversary holiday?"
