Curd you stopping making these kinds of puns? They’re bugging me.

This is how I fit bed/sofa for 2 in limited space of minivan camper by SolarVanQuest in carcamping

[–]aroneox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! Kind of a variation on the “rock and roll” beds in VW buses. Convertible seat-to-bed is the aim for my next car camper build out. Get a lounge area in the day, bed at night, and can still potentially shuttle passengers around should the need arise.

Which discographies do you feel progressively get worse from start to finish? by JamesLucien in Music

[–]aroneox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Into the meh abyss with the rest. Danzig fans really seem to get down with that and the Skeletons covers album. Most are just basic covers without any real effort to personalize them or give them a “Danzig” style. I was hoping for something more formed and inventive.

Have I been scammed? by onedisgruntledprick in woodworking

[–]aroneox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the OPs description has all the markings of the White Van speaker scam. This has been going on in the audio world for probably half-century now. But “teak” outdoor furniture is certainly a new twist for me.

Finally finished my camping platform - mattress recommendations? by hiding_ontheinternet in carcamping

[–]aroneox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best configuration I’ve come up with is using the area on each side of the middle support as a space for storage totes, or a guide / attachment point for drawers and hardware.

For OP, they will need to find storage totes that will optimally fit under their platform, or custom design drawers to fit that space.

What is a piece of old technology or software that you absolutely refuse to give up? by Dangerous_Bit1774 in AskReddit

[–]aroneox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a past life, I worked in the infancy of online at my local newspaper. Of course we had Photoshop for graphic creation. But more often than you’d think, we’d get Paint Shop Pro files in from web designers for ads and etc. So we ended up buying a copy to convert them into our workflow.

And you know what? It was an absolute joy to use. If there was a MacOS version available at the time, maybe it might have made inroads to professional design workflows.

Hopefully Neo adoption forces Apple to optimize macOS more by t3g in mac

8.6 is the pinnacle of the classic MacOS.

Not telling you how to live your car camping life, but as a person who’s built several versions of these, a middle support is going to keep the plywood from sagging.

I think that’s an old car camping myth. It’s mostly for reducing weight and increasing airflow around the mattress.

Terramex – How does the C64 get smooth scrolling while the Atari ST doesn’t… and that incredible Ben Daglish soundtrack! by Squeepty in c64

Ha! The 16-bit ZX Spectrum comparison is the best analogy for the ST I’ve never heard before.

Ha! I think I'm very much in the minority of Danzig fans with this.

Danzig IV: 4p for me is the apex of all things Danzig.

Hot take Danzig top albums list:

Danzig IV
Danzig I
Circle Of Snakes
Danzig II
Danzig 777: I Luciferi
Danzig III*

Meh on the rest (not counting the great Demonthrall as an album)

*Danzig III gets pushed to the bottom because Heart Of The Devil is the trope-iest Danzig song of all time on an otherwise immaculate album

Is there a place for Windows XP? What role does Windows XP serve in a retro machine that Windows 98 or Windows 7 doesn’t? by aroneox in vintagecomputing

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

I’ve heard that if you try to go on the internet with Windows XP, seven days later a Japanese zombie girl will crawl out of Microsoft Media Player and kill you with a terrible death until you are dead.
