Chumbawamba - Tub thumping. I had no idea they’ve always been an anarchist sea shanty band and that song was the outlier and a total piss take. I am here for it.

Cool, now do eyecare. And while you’re at it, federally protect our healthcare from being privatized.

An ice cream scooper from the 1940’s with a mechanical scoop releaser and a bread knife from the 80’s, both random bits that were passed down the family. Nothing special, just very well made tools. Also a Hala desk lamp circa 1950.

My aunt has a 40’s era sunbeam stand mixer that works perfectly… just needs a new electrical chord. Most things are made to be replaced now. Those not so much.

A spray fixative should do it. You can get it at an art supply store. I had a similar thing on glass and it worked great… but for display, not something going in and out of your pocket. Is that the actual phone or a case? Either way if the autograph is important to you its now a display piece.

“To be phased out over the next two years” Why not just pull the fucking plug if it’s so blatantly lethal. Boils my blood….

Also rideshare and food delivery services.

Ditch uber and lyft for local Taxis. In Toronto at least, Beck taxis have a great app and their drivers actually know where they are.

Skip the Dishes is Canadian, the others are not. Or better yet, go out in the world if you can and pick up from a neighborhood restaurant.

Fallout from the Franchise Wars. Now all restaurants are Taco Bell.

Fun fact- The xenon bulbs used in continuous lighting such as projectors and followspots are pressurized at several atmospheres. Common safety measures when changing those bulbs out involve a kevlar suit and face shield reminiscent of a bomb squad suit.

Came here to say this one. I saw it at a film festival in a theatre… ooof that was a lot. My buddy and I got high and watched Super Troopers afterwards as brain bleach. Didn’t work, still rattled.

Do. Not. Seek. The treasure!

My favourite explaination, hahaha.

The Heltec V3 is more or less the cheapest simplest entry into mesh radio. You may have to plug in an ipex connector but no soldering. They can be found packaged with a very basic case (so you’re not handling the raw pcb) and an antenna for 20-30 $US. If you want to spend a little extra and be able to play with the gps features in MT, the Heltec T114 V2 is great and equally simple to set up. That’s what I started with and glad I did. Have fun!

There was a film made about this starring Anthony Hopkins.

I’m brainwaving a vehicle setup too, so here’s some stuff to consider from what I’ve learned:

• Rak with gps in an IP67 box attached to the roof rack. Rak for the low power draw -Gizont 20 or 40 cm whip, because my vehicle is tall and I don’t want a rigid Alfa or something getting sheared off in a parking garage.
• you likely know this already but better to not cable from a node in the car to antenna on the roof- keep them together.
• look at the Rak green power module, which will accept 12v directly from your cars system and convert to a stable 5v. With a 3000+ size battery in the box , you may not even need a solar backup as the car will top it up as you drive. If you want it to run while the car sits for a week +, then maybe a solar in addition is better for you. -if you want zero fuss, you could also wire up an external waterproof reset switch

I thought it would be kinda cool (though unnecessary) to have a display wired inside the car from the roof…. Anyone done this, know if it’s possible, or know the limitations of cable length from a rak baseboard to a display?

Show us what you come up with!

Ah that makes some sense, thanks.

this 1000%

Asahi Linux, here I come.
