I'm listening to all my songs on shuffle and when Sleeping on the Sidewalk started I thought it was a ZZ Top song.
It's also kind of odd how long it takes for me to recognise even the artists and I've heard most of these songs many times.

Per instructions received in PM, I will now gloat a little. Hah, science triumphs over all (except slinches). I didn't just guess, I extrapolated from the progress made in previous months. That's how you (almost) win. </gloating> Congratulations to the winners Wait, I'm still being self-congratulato...

TIL (well not today, probably two days ago) I learned, that whether two events are simultaneous depends on the speed of the observer. It's one of those things, that sounds super weird but also something I could've realised just from knowin about the existence of time dilation.

I actually have a blog right now although I haven't posted jack in the last six months. I also ran a blog about Matchbox cars for about two years...

One of these days I'm gonna find what flicky was looking for, frame it and send a photo of it to flicky.

The main caveats I can think of are (A) constructing a homemade EMP might be illegal, and (B) it almost definitely would require more power than a typical power supply can put out, let alone provide from one eight-pin connector. (C) the not uncommon (enough) GPS glitch where you can get a blip in t...

Floor 1172 contains the back door. All of them, including metaphorical back doors into encryption systems. Luckily the doors are so densely packed that opening any door requires opening all other doors beforehand, which alleviates the safety concerns by making every door impossible to open.

Yup, two of them on the shelf right behind me. A Smena 6 and a Zenit-E and once I used up the film in them, I'll probably put a roll into the Zorki too.

A movie camera that uses film?

Secret Santa @bessie: I might be biased, because I'm looking at the game with knowledge of the spoilers, but I think you have a reasonable chance of owning us. I haven't been keeping notes on people since my death, but it seem like the bessie+jimbob scum team has only been suggested in jest....

Secret Santa @plytho Initially it seemed probable that I got the message from a townie so I didn't want to say much about it lest I reveal something to scum they didn't know. I thought I'd wait and see if it becomes relevant, for example because someone was seen targeting me. And then th...

The first thing to do is open it up and look for a fuse. If it isn't that simple a quick check is to smell each component* (the smell of burnt electronics should be obvious). I'm afraid that modern multimeters are pretty integrated and that it would make more sense to replace the whole thing (presu...
