@davepl1968 Having grown up in several professional auto shops owned by my dad and grandfather, I can appreciate this. Right tools for the job and back in the day we used a lot of impact air tools 😃…batteries were not even a thing back then.

@davepl1968 @bl0rq Make sure and throw my other least favorite term in there and let’s double click on that topic 💀🤣

@HackingDave Love it. Did it with my son. Think he had a new appreciation of danger after that 😂

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@SteveNomadic Love it! Congrats

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@davepl1968 This I can support 😎

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@davepl1968 I was a 463 in the USAF many years ago 😎..

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@davepl1968 AC , power brakes, and absolute unit of a motor…top shelf everything back in the day…love it.

@davepl1968 Proper car! Beautiful low mileage. I would tell my wife to bury me in that car 😂

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@HackingDave @dcuthbert Yes! Just need to get past the marketing wave. Those of us old enough to been in the trenches during dotcom know exactly where we are…. then real reasonable work with companies with a P&L will take this to maturity.

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@HackingDave Yep the little integration stickiness things between a MacBook, phone, AirPods, etc. are the sauce. Bonus that my kids are not ashamed 😂

@davepl1968 Think we need a quarter tracker to account for lives, extra lives, and how much spent in quarters for the AI for every 3 deaths :) - I spent farrrr to many on Robotron as a teen and it always took all money before I left the arcade - But my name was up there :)

@dhh 100% used to host LAN parties back in the late 90s and could fit a dozen sweaty dudes in my man cave with giant CRTs and even their own chairs. I supplied the LAN, tables, internet and food…all-nighters!

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@davepl1968 I had an old car with one (Rambler American) for the washer. Dad had an old 50s tow truck in his auto shop that has the starter floor switch

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@davepl1968 Windshield washer…starter switch was on the right by the accelerator (old trucks)

@FerroRapax I don’t think I could computer without beer 😂

The journey continues the Amiga 1000 lives! Roughly 300 disks to sift through …good times this week😎 #commodore #amiga

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@OnyxCrack Yep…had to clean it up and re-seat it but it picked it up and recognizes it…I have another 1mb one that’s not working but had not opened it up to see what’s up.

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@2j4ez @AmigaReposts Had both plugged on. Scart to HDMI with a converter box and composite separately and switching between the two. Was just trying to get a signal and then muck with ratios settle 😎

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@CptSparky360 @AmigaReposts 😂…yes I was just trying to get to a functional desktop and find a workbench floppy in a box 😬 then muck with the video options and monitors …flipping between scart to HDMI to composite …ha ..that will be tonight…

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]

@j0zf Yeah the stable keeping growing. I have a really nice Vectrex, Timex Sinclair, Atari 800, Intellivison, and on the list goes...Fun to dig into them for sure. Luckily my wife is supportive 🤣

[biff baxter @biffbaxter]
