  • Victim complex / projection

    I've never seen science try to take away people's rights, let alone thoughts.

    I've seen religion do both, though.

  • This brings them to about mid 90's tech... They'll be able to make microwave ovens, tamagotchis, and a counterfeit N64 that runs a game called "Mushroom Plumber 3D"

  • This was when BTC was like 5 cents and no one had learned this lesson yet.

  • Still looking for that backup of that disk with my bitcoin wallet from the early days... sadly probably gone forever.

  • I'd eat it again. It was good. Just weird.

  • Thing with the weirdest flavor, or flavor of the weirdest thing?

    Thing with the weirdest flavor: Durian. Fucking gross. Ate it by accident (was in a dish I ordered). It tasted exactly like papaya or mango soaked in mop bucket water for 2 days.

    Flavor of the weirdest thing: Probably Escargot. That was garlic and snail flavored.

  • AntiVumpler Juice

  • FastIron, NOS, PowerCLI, BASH, PowerSHell, esxcli, ComWare, Enterasys/Extreme, enough of MSSQL, Python, C++ to be dangerous

  • That's an awful great Charlie. Looks just like my Charlie, hahaha.

  • There was a kid at my high school who was famous for wrecking 7 cars his senior year. Parents just kept buying him new ones. Like, brand new. Off the lot. It was insane.

  • Oh, things are way better now than they were back then. I'd still confirm via documentation that the interfaces are compatible :)

  • I was a poor college student and had access to engineering samples from a local manufacturer. Discarded parts gave me twin 15" LCDs for free in the mid 00's. Also, to see if I could. It was a fun challenge. These are different revs of a controller that were outfitted in several slot machine prototypes. They gave me many years of service. I probably still have inkjet prints of the pinout and signal diagrams, somewhere.

  • I have rematched controllers to displays in the past. It's neither simple nor easy. You'll need to dig through spec sheets to ensure you're sending the correct signals over the correct pinouts, at the correct frequencies and voltages. Be prepared to read some IO documentation for the sending and receiving chipsts, then verify pinouts with certainty. They are not always standard.

    Here are 2 identical LCDs, with 2 very similar, nearly identical looking controllers. Note that one needed to be re-wired. It is not fun butt-connecting 2 dozen 28ga wires.

  • What if I told you you could get another cat?

  • He would let you. Easily the friendliest and most needy cat we have. He won't leave you alone until you pick him up for a hug and scratch.
