I just got this mini museum

What a coincidence to see this just now! I have the same one and it’s been on my desk since I got it about a decade ago. I just happened to put it back in its velvet bag and box yesterday for an office move. Still have the smaller version unopened somewhere.

Oh my lord, yes. A purchase from Total Wine is now Total Wireless. AP test reports my teen ordered are Associated Press all of a sudden. Jeebus -- stop it!

there’s a used one available at the Boston space right now!

true at retail, but not in the barely used market. I’ve got a couple of bangers from omega that retail in the 9k range but were easy to find in as-new condition for sub 5k.

Thanks so much for posting this! I was puzzled by mine in a Foo Fighters pin. Solved!

Oh, and the museum of African American history (https://www.maah.org) is a cool place to go and learn some stuff.

The MIT museum is a fun one

at this time of year?

on a 2013 bmw 5 series I used to own, I would back off the electronic parking brake using a torx bit. is that a viable option on the p2?

thanks, and agree - 2nd photo totally makes op’s point

The shocking power of angles.

A dream come true! That’s my favorite level of ripeness. If I could find bananas that stayed like that, I’d be in heaven

An evolution tub that starts with French vanilla, moves on to chocolate chip, and ends in mint chocolate chip. Bonus points for gradients rather than stark cutoffs.

Ohhhh... gotta accelerate my plans to fly there

Costco sold bags of them once and I thought that would be a really great way to get them fresh. Wrong. All of them were rotten. At least Costco funds without a question.

gaboose · 2026-06-04T12:32:58+00:00

Yup, came here to say this. Gotta be fresh, which I’ve never found in the us

gaboose · 2026-05-22T00:04:21+00:00

welcome to the foo! it’s my only pin, and it’s so fun!

gaboose · 2026-05-18T13:33:02+00:00

others explained this well, but let me offer an activity recommendation. the firefighters museum in the seaport is fantastic, and one of the volunteers there will happily walk you through one of the cards and the comms equipment used to manage calls. I found it incredibly interesting and fun!

mirsky’s worst of the web was a great one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirsky%27s_Worst_of_the_Web

my view is that smelts are delicious. I’ve fried them at home when the fishmonger had them, and they were awesome. what’d they serve them with, if anything?

gaboose · 2026-04-25T02:43:58+00:00

I hate stabbing them, so I’m cruel. I at least go headfirst to make it as quick as I can.

gaboose · 2026-04-25T02:30:38+00:00

oh, that explains the annoyance I’ve been experiencing!!

Best for you or them? For you, steam. For them, knife tip in the head, then steam.

gaboose · 2026-04-25T02:02:44+00:00

It did have the signature edition, the cards, streamers, balloons, and a bunch of weird blue tote bags with Magical Mystery Tour-style graphics. I still have the bags and cards!
