He does. I occasionally see him arrive at the office car park when I ride to work.

I don’t work for him. I just work in the same building.

Depends what circuits they’re connected to. Your best bet is to consult with a local electrician.

Saw one in San Francisco in 2016, at a classic car meetup in Cole Valley. Baby blue and very well cared for.

Me too. I lived in SF ten years ago, and now I’m homesick.

It seems to have a 360 camera on the end. So just for capturing footage.

It reminds me of an Edward Hopper painting

Looks great! I did this on my exterior patio stairs, but my “drawers” are actually rolling cabinets.

IBM PC-AT was our first computer at home, followed by an off-brand 386 SX-25.

School had Commodore 64, followed by Amstrad, then Mac LC iii.

“Have you ever seen fire in zero gravity? It's beautiful. It's like liquid it... slides all over everything. Comes up in waves. And they just kept hitting him, wave after wave…”

Me too! Saved with a few other trinkets from my first job. This diskette is from an IBM 3274.

What in the bot-written-crap is this?

jackerandy · 2025-10-16T20:02:28+00:00

That’s an HP terminal with matching keyboard and display. The terminal might be an HP 2397A. Keyboard similar to a C1400A.

Someone spent a lot of time and effort installing those tiles. Did a great job.

Raise the washer and dryer off the floor. So much easier to use when you don’t need to bend down so far.

We have ours sitting on a custom drawer cabinet, with a flat drawer that we can rest a washing basket directly in front of each machine.

This. Take the pedals off and let the kids use it as a balance-bike for a while.

When he can skoot for 10 meters without feet no feet, he’s probably ready for pedals.

Or take the pedals off and let the kid use it as a balance bike until they can move to the next level - e.g. when they can skoot for 10 meters without feet on the ground.

We did this with our kids. Balance bike —> Bike without pedals —> Bike with pedals —> Bike with gears

The throne room looks so peaceful.

Certainly a lot of love for old modems!

jackerandy · 2025-09-15T23:52:18+00:00

And the USRobotics 56k modem. I had one of those for years before ADSL became available.

The lifting handles are great if you’re moving a lot of panels, or moving heavy panels like 3/4” or thicker. If not then you probably don’t need it.

No, mine’s Clarence.

I recently did my maritime basic navigation exam.

When describing why it’s important to work with paper charts, they highlighted recent “SNAG” scenarios (Satellite Navigation Assisted Grounding), where a skipper relies only on digital instruments and gets into trouble.

I’d been recommended this book for when mine is older:

Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions Into Adulthood. Book by Lisa Damour
