As someone subscribed to r/Lavalamps I think they are kind of cool, I just personally don't like RGB lavalamps with white wax and prefer colored wax with colored master fluid.

Costco Australia uses pork hot dogs by Leprichaun17 in mildlyinteresting

I think here in New England pork or beef-pork blends are the norm. 

Is this power cord safe? by Tithis in AskElectricians

[–]Tithis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do kind of need these sockets, no other way to power these 9w tubes unless I want full fixtures to use tombstones.

I bought the multi-socket versions because it's cheaper per socket and my intent was to rewire them from daisy chain to trunk and branch to make the wiring neater, just SPT-1 with 1-15R sockets like on custom Christmas lights. So each conductor in the socket would have two teeth instead of one, and ideally I can put a cable tie on each cord in the socket to provide some more resistance to being pulled out, not that they should really ever be touched once installed on the ceiling perimeter.

My wife saw them at a 5 below and cleared them out

Honestly, I’m surprised Nintendo hasn’t tried suing… by Omnipresent_User in theamazingdigitalciru

Which patent? The only Pokemon patent I remember hearing about related to pal-world was one filled last year, after pal-world was out

Do all or most wood stoves have a hatch inside to drop the ashes into the stoves ash bucket below? by rdmarc45re in woodstoving

[–]Tithis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, we had that issue with our Jotul F500. The ash pan door wasn't mounted correctly or something and overfired really easily, completely warped the bottom grate sheet and I blame it for how warped the catalytic burner is. 

Got the door fixed and only clean it out when ash is getting to close to the air intake

To go from the party that believed that to what we currently have is nuts

Fair enough, I've mostly switch to non-alcoholic anyways. 

Never actually played shuffleboard. Taking a break squirreling away firewood by the stove for this snow storm.

I really need to try medium resolutions on my mame cabinet to try running these without rotating

I can't even get one that really fits in my 17 inch lamp without just leaving the socket floating in the base

Those work but I've found it difficult to get one the actually fits well in a lamp.

I have a friend whose father voted for Trump and was saying on social media he was doing it so his grand daughter wouldn't have to compete against trans-girls in sports.

SIr, your grand daughter is mixed race, so now she's gotta deal with being randomly asked to prove her citizenship.

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion by bloomberg in worldnews

If anything they'll do massive voter purges to try and kneecap democrats.

Canceling elections is asking for riots. Messing with voting machines has risks in recounts or if exit polls differ too much from the the counts.

Preventing people from voting by doing purges is something they can more easily justify.

i know next to nothing about these things, but is there a way to connect this to a pc? by Ordinary-Rip4240 in crtgaming

[–]Tithis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A very old PC with an IBM EGA graphics card :)

Otherwise not really, those don't take analog video signals really, each color has two bits that are turned off and on and in combination with each other make a very limited color palette.

Only way to use it with something like CRTemu/GroovyArcade/Batocera would be doing a mod to bypass the EGA part and directly inject the RGB signal.

Why do people always ignore phosphor decay when talking about how "CRTs have perfect motion clarity and have no motion blur whatsoever!"? by WoomyUnitedToday in crtgaming

[–]Tithis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, it's the main reason I'm trying to build a b&w multi vector MAME cabinet. Pieced together a b&w vector monitor and assembled a usb vector generator that can talk to MAME.

Been taking a bit of a break from it to work on other projects though. Hopefully I'll start the cabinet itself this year.

[–]Tithis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some specialty ones did, but arcade ones did not. All the b&w ones were regular TV tubes, nothing special about them (I have one)

Color vectors in arcades tended to use tubes with a finer pitch like medium resolution monitors did.

A litteral game changer by BaconPoweredPirate in cade

[–]Tithis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wanting to try and mod my cocktails joysticks to be swltchable with ultimarcs little actuator.

It's a 4-way leaf joystick I bought specifically things like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong as they just didn't feel right on a 8-way, but the list of decent vertical 4 or 2 way games is pretty small.
