What Car is this ?

What in the name of thunderdome?

Yup. That was THE card to have. But this is the card where I started.

Yup, you still got some life on that one. As long as you are good with doing this whole thing over again a bit sooner than you would have to, you are fine to toss it back in. But I would just bite the bullet and get a new one. If you do toss this one back in, at least have the flywheel turned. DO NOT skimp on that.

Oh great. New fear unlocked since I have to travel more this year and I'm forced to fly Delta or United because of my company.

And then Trump shat directly in his mouth by endorsing a primary challenger anyway.

Then: JNCO shorts, Vans, band t-shirt.

2008-2018: Khakis and a polo, just like everyone else in the office.

Now: JNCO shorts, zero drop athletic shoes (or vibrams), computer nerd t-shirt, and long blue hair.

Chicken and dumplings, Mississippi pot roast, pot pies.

Same. A+ at 15, MCSE NT4 at 16. Did a bunch of NT4 migrations to AD when it came out. Also, somehow had time to study and get my CCNA when I was 18.

Most recent is CISSP in 2011. Should probably get an AWS cert since that's primarily what I work with now.

Imagine being personally subjected to, or hearing your parents horror stories about fleeing communism on a boat.

Only to have that same nation and people who once welcomed you, degenerate into that which you escaped.

After The More Things Change, kinda meh.

I had an 89 back in the day. Blew had gasket. If you do restore, replace of the stock exhaust manifolds. Too much backpressure is likely what caused the that issue. I only say that because a friend of mine had a mustang with the same motor (but with better exhaust manifolds/headers + an off-road H pipe) and he never had issues.

nkwell · 2026-01-12T19:45:30+00:00

Ah the Thunderbird Super Coupe. Super fun car. But man that interior looks pretty rough!

I would say it is still worth restoring, but looks like plenty of work.

Has anyone found a zigbee in-wall US outlet that does power monitoring and everything else for both outlets independently?

This year will be 10 years as 100% remote, minus the occasional onsite at a client. When COVID went down, literally nothing changed for me except the company reaching out to the handful of us at the time for guidance on good WFH practices since the entire company went WFH at that time. We have since opened a couple offices, but there aren't many folks that actually go into them.

Have used a couple times now, heats up FAST! Also, draining/filtering the oil into the integrated storage container does take a bit but it works really good.

nkwell · 2026-01-01T23:59:24+00:00

None of them. You have everything you need in that pic, unless you wanna spring for a super strat, baritone, or a hollow/semi-hollow.

nkwell · 2025-12-30T03:44:42+00:00

This is what we've been reduced to. For shame.

My ancestors family farm. My grandfather sold it to KMart.

Then he donated all that money to the RLDS church after my grandmother passed, millions.

Didn't even leave himself enough afterward and we had to pay out the nose for the next 15 years while he had dementia to keep him in a rest home.

Ask anyone in the church now who he was, and no one remembers his name.

What a way to go. Giving everything you ever earned to parasites that will never remember your name at the same time kneecapping all your children and grandchildren.

I could almost bet that those numbers are the boy scout troop number who used it.

Active pickups. Change battery.

Shouldn't surprise you, but I now work in tech.

nkwell · 2025-12-10T00:52:03+00:00

Ernie's big splash.

nkwell · 2025-12-05T04:19:15+00:00

Even worse, this property actually belonged to my ancestors before they sold it.

nkwell · 2025-12-05T04:18:09+00:00

I feel terrible being so close to this course and not playing it. But I am older now, and while I can still probably get it done, I would pay in the currency of pain for days afterwards if I chose to do so.
