@blind_via I’d buy one that lets you see where smells are coming from.

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@RetroTechChris Lisa 2 or Mac xl maybe? Had one briefly in early 2000s thought it sucked at the time and later swapped for a se30, wish I still had it for the collection.

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@RetroTechChris Nice group! I’ve still got the Mac portable too!

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@RetroTechChris Still have mine!

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@WatcherontheWeb Yeah we do all kinds of stupid things with it at home to impress my kid and annoy my wife. If you get one, I highly recommend buying a keyence safety scanner on eBay. These things move fast enough to do some serious damage.

@k_pizzl @spotted_model I cancelled mine too when I bought the Y and they never even gave me my $100 back. I didn’t have faith that the under 60k was gonna happen.

@McFranchisee Picture it overflowing with pickles and onions and positively drowning in bbq sauce. It’s a wash-your-hands burger for sure!

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@McFranchisee Every year I’m waiting for the Rib Mac to be announced. This is an AI generated simulation but dang it looks good!

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@hackaday Cool! That arm is probably fast enough to build something with a toss and racket serve. My fanuc can hit a slow tossed ball. (Not ai, those chicken scratches are from my 5 year old)

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@DustinWalper Sounds like fun!

[James Davis @xiondavis]

Ok, let’s do this.

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@spotted_model I quit selling things cheap on marketplace after three of these aggressive guys reported me on one item and got me suspended. Now I just give then a smokin deal when they pick them up. Makes people happy.

@ryzerth Just to play quake on a machine that cost more than my house lol.

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@ryzerth These were such cool machines! I modded mine with a video board and maxed out the cpu boards when parts got cheap in 2010.

@spotted_model Safeway in Lakewood is exact same price for 12 packs. Who is buying soda at $10/gal?

After a 11-year development cycle, my autonomous tire changer is fully functional.

@CalebChamberla6 I happened to be on the island a few weeks ago when it fountained so we drove over. So cool, it sounded like a freight train.

[James Davis @xiondavis]

@drchip @ugmonk @FirstAlert @Ubiquiti I’m looking at those too since I’m all-in on UniFi, but did they consider if building codes allow replacement of a hardwired system with battery powered wireless interconnect?

When the boy asks if I can take him fishing instead of work… the answer is ALWAYS yes! Sorry machines, you are on your own today.
