Maybe you can work out a "you stick one in me, I stick one in you" trade? Art of the Squeal?

Dolly Parton and Elvis Presley. I believe that's what they call "checkmate."

Well, the average Amerikkkan has a 5th grade vocabulary. I had to tone it down a bit for Alaskans and lawyers.

Happy Thursday, Al! Hope you buy yourself something sick for your 80th!

https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/health/james-harrison-blood-donor-death-scli-intl/index.html RIP to James Harrison, the man who saved 2 million babies. I don't have this, but I'm O-Neg and CMV-Neg (universal for neo-natal emergencies.) I learned about this guy when I found out I had some pretty special blood (7% of pop has O-Neg, and 15% are CMV-neg, so I'm in the 1%). He hasn't been able to give in a bit, but he made a huge impact.

2" Rack, as much as I love 1UP (and I do), after losing 5-6k of bikes/tools/skateboards, I wanted the most secure bike rack I could get/afford. That wound up being a Thule T2 Pro XT 1.25" 2-bike rack. (You know me and deals, I got it for free from Performance Bike after I mathed the fuck out of them.) That was my 2nd choice, behind Kuat and just above 1UP, because the built-in security was the best. Cost no object? Kuat Piston Pro X There's a Thule T2 Pro XTR now that supersedes mine, and a more rational choice, but don't overlook the in-between Kuat Pisto Pro. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/biking/best-bike-rack Outdoor Gear Lab is a great review site, and a good starting point (trusted by both me and the Ginger Avenger) for most things outdoorsy. If you have your own system of securing the bikes on a rack? 1UP HD still has tons going for it.

Hmmmm... 7D II was on my radar for a while, since most of my lenses are EF-S these days.

Hippy birbday, @cetoole! I asked Bing.com to make some images for the occasion and I couldn't pick just one, so here are, well, all of them. Note, there was nothing alcoholic or drink related in the prompts (my bad), but Bing knows you (or me?) too well. I mean, this one even got the lime! This had a super cute pupperz This also has a super cute pupperz This one has pupperz of cuteness and a longboard style that I belieb you may have one of already. Don't you love the truck mounting?

Happy birthday, you vintage bastard! I'm glad that I was with you when we found out about the SCOTUS decision in 2015, then got to go meet some of your Apple buddies at the parade. Good times. Also, figure you may like this Mensa shirt Though perhaps you'd prefer: Either way, happy to listen to you tell stories of your time as an extra on:

Was suggested this by a friend, but he couldn't give me much info due to giving too much away. I'll do you the same courtesy and just say "it's worth the watch." Hour long episodes, 4 have dropped so far with 4 more coming. Next one on Tuesday. Looking forward to it.

Happy birthday @VPI! I hope you bought the pups a wagyu brisket to celebrate!

So, did they actually ask permission, or was that in some ToS that you signed away everything years ago? Also, did they let you know, or just... you found it?

I'm not sure who this The Band is, but I LOVE the REACT channel. Kids/teens/adults/senior citizens/etc. reacting to things. It's great!

I've told you, or you've heard of, this movie, right? This is one of the best documentaries ever. I mean, I may have event watched this with you, I just can't remember anymore.

I do enjoy a good science project!

https://gradolabs.com/products/grado-headphone-replacement-cushion-f Look familiar? Grado is now selling "F-Cushions", aka "Flat Pads... and these headphones come with both G (salad bowels) and F (flats) cushions. They also have a nice little chart on their pad page that shows all the things that they work with: https://gradolabs.com/collections/headphone-cushions One thing I'm happy about, as someone who has had HF-2s that have been down for a couple years due to a bad cable and I just haven't gotten together with @cetoole (who has a Tyll-esque appreciate for Grados) to recable them, is that they have an effective-standard of mini-XLR jacks for cables. That opens up SO many opportunities to make something ridiculous. Who is the first person to make the plunge and then have @n_maher woody them?

https://gradolabs.com/products/hp100-se Just found out aboot these today thanks to @DouglasQuaid Anyone have hands/ears on yet?

I'm looking at going back to Android in the near future, I do belieb, so this came at a good time... since we're talking about our second favorite Canadian.

Also, congrat to McLaren for scoring the perfect amount of points.

Was great to see Checo where he belongs, and Yuki not scoring points. Glad Lewis showed George up one last time, and going to be fun to watch him stomp Charles next year, though his 19->3 was brilliant. Gutted that Bottas didn't get points, but what a brilliant Friday/Saturday he had. Going to be nice to have a proper last name in a Red Bull instead of the guy who averaged fewer points over the last 16 races than Zhou got last week. Congrat to your team @TMoney (now that they got rid of the dead weight, as opposed to just your driver,) but they did have a brilliant livery the past few weeks.

I was totally going to say S95, which will be much cheaper than what @cetoole just sold (for more than he paid), a Fujifilm X70 (which didn't get the multiple extra releases like the big brother.) Was going to say at least 13 people here have bought S95s, and I figure only half of them sold them and the rest are in drawers (like @Grahame's.) @VPI probably has 8-15 cameras sitting in a drawer unused as well that may fit the bill.

Feliz Cumpleanos, mi amigo de cerveza!

Maybe I can just get a stream up and play 10-15 hours/day and make sim racing content of just playing until I can destroy T$. I'm sure I can talk @Grahame into subscribing.
