You're welcome! He has prints available as well, I've been meaning to get one for the office. https://www.apolloremastered.com/shop

Not sure about a site, but I would highly recommend the book "Apollo Remastered" by Andy Saunders: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/andy-saunders/apoll...

While I don't have a use for this, I do like the idea of purposeful modes in computing. Obviously there is a lot you can do with shortcuts and preferences, but its nice to have a l…

I've settled on Navidrome for the server, and Symfonium for the player on Android (not open source). Symfonium can sync with the server so I can have all my music even when offline…

I still get motion sick after a while when watching someone else play an FPS. If I'm playing myself there is no problem. I can also get motion sick as a passenger in a car, but hav…

The only location in Minnesota was also owned by this franchisee. It was a real shock when it closed since it always seemed to be busy. If there was a movie we really wanted to see…

I encountered many of these tar covered PCs doing retail computer repair. One of the worst I can remember was a wood shop PC of a heavy smoker. The combination of tar and sawdust a…

I recently went down a rabbit hole of playing early home flight simulators. One that stuck with me was Tomcat F-14 for the Atari 2600. A combat flight simulator on a system with on…

Thank you for reminding me! I actually own the printed zines for EXA Punks. They also came with a secret envelope to be opened at a certain point in the game. I ordered them mostly…

I recently picked up a copy of this from a retro game store while on vacation. The box was covered in dust and slightly damaged on the corners. To my surprise everything inside was…

There are many manual espresso machines out there, one of the most iconic in recent years being the Cafelat Robot http://www.cafelat.com/robot.html . There are lever/piston machine…

Here is one from 1958 in Japan that has been preserved. The whole video is worth watching, but here is a demo of a running calculation: https://youtu.be/_j544ELauus?t=1027 .

Recently I was trying to take a picture of my sleeping cat. I used the double tap power button shortcut to open the camera as I normally do, but it didn't show up for some reason s…

In my experience these wear out extremely quickly even when following the manufacturer's care instructions. Inevitably the touch functionality degrades leading to me ripping them o…

We have one in Minnesota as well. Apparently there are quite a few replica churches in the U.S.: https://maps.roadtrippers.com/trips/19456115

I'll always hold a grudge against the CIA HQ for taking the A-12 Oxcart we had displayed at the Minnesota Air National Guard Museum. Now very few people from the general public can…

Hill start assist is a thing in "modern" manual transmissions. It automatically holds the brake for you as you engage the clutch so you don't roll back. After burning the clutch in…

This plane was going to be scrapped before he purchased it. There was also an odd modified fuel selector visible in the cockpit that is unlikely to be allowed on a non-experimental…

My favorite feeds for virtual planespotting: https://youtu.be/nPsaWA2HkCY - Reagan National Airport (DCA) - Occasional V22 Osprey and Blackhawks https://youtu.be/bqiZ2xih6Jk - Prag…

It is a good idea, but the layout hurts my eyes due to the Hermann grid illusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_illusion

Interesting to look at the various satellite map sources of the ship breaking yard. On Bing/Google Maps you can see two carriers in different levels of disassembly. On DDG you can …

It is. I had a subscription and used a Roku Ultra. However, I cancelled my subscription after every 4k stream buffered even on a gigabit connection. I watch 4k UHD content on every…

I've reported so many of these. Every time there is a SpaceX launch these fake videos fill up my recommendations from "ElonMusk" and "Space X"

I was looking for something like this. It looks like you still have to have a Spotify account, do you just use a free one?
