My new(est) hat

Edit: arrived today, June 9th...pretty happy with the fit, material, and construction.





The hats are designed in Boston, but...made in China, not surprisingly. Oh well.

New socks (Darn Tough merino wool) and the wife got a Walther PDP 4" FS for her birthday.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Scosche Rhythm+ HRM to connect to the PTON and get my Strive score. That way I can watch myself achieve near death experiences in real time.

Hey - you told me bondage night was canceled!

 

[lxskllr]

Uh... Well this is awkward. It was just canceled for *you*. No hard feelings, k?

Yeah, every other word was his safety word. Couldn't even get the ball gag in.

I got 100 of these switches for my keyboard (it's a hot-swappable PCB, so no soldering).

Boba U4T (clear top) $0.60 per switch.




Installed them in my keyboard a few days ago.

Illustration is representative...it's on the way from Portland to Texas. Got a crazy deal on it.

Been wanting a generator for a long time. It's to run a sump pump and fridge in case the power goes out. I've gotten lucky so far, but it could run out any time. I like this little guy cause it's easily portable. It's enough to do the job, and nothing more.

2 1/4" drive metric sockets. Boring life is boring.

I did buy the beatit battery jumper after the Rav incident. Friend swears by his.

I got a harborfreight lithium jump box to power gear. I was skeptical of it's ability to turn a car over, but I had to use it for that once, and it worked. Doesn't seem like much when you're holding it in your hand.

Wait until it starts to self immolate

now these buds got some amazing ANC. I'm impressed. photo from some website that couldn't be bothered to wipe off all the lint.

A red Switch right joycon. My son dropped the Switch late last year and it broke the blue right joycon. I got him a new blue joycon for Christmas from Santa. I wasn't paying close enough affection and didn't realize that at some point Nintendo swapped the default joycon colors so when I bought a blue one to replace the broken blue one I was actually buying a blue LEFT joycon. Now our gray joycons both need to be sent in for drift repair and we'll be "left" with two left joycons, a blue and a red. So I bought a new right joycon which is red.

Fact. My friend drives a fire truck. Guy in a diesal had a dead battery. Laughed when my friend pulled out the beatit. Wasn't laughing when it started.

Ordered a new chair

Corsair T3 Rush, I wanted something with fabric instead of PU leather.

My previous chair is ~6 years old and a cheap staples executive desk chair with PU leather that has been peeling for a few years now. Over the last 2 years it's also acquired a ~10 degree tilt to the left that's getting annoying (wobbles around and makes a lot of noise)

It was on sale at Best Buy for $22, and since it has the Movie Anywhere digital codes, I figured I'd add an extra helping of "marauding penises" to my movie collection.

I really wish I never watched the horror documentary on the original movie, because ever since then I can't get that description out of my head when I see a Xenomorph.

"Beep beep, Ritchie!".

Uhm, never, ever invite me over. Like, not even if I'm dead

Ever since they first approached him to make concept art for the movie, H.R. Giger has been open and honest about the phallic imagery.

It's definitely a master's class in Weiner Art.
