My wife has done this. Grabbed a bottle of Penzy’s Northwood Seasoning instead of the cinnamon. That apple pie was… not so good.

Quality control chemist testing pharmaceuticals. Most of what we do is for clinical trial use and research purposes. It’s been a good job.

Commodore basic on the PET computer, back around 1981-1983. My grade school had three of them in the library, and since my mom was a teacher, she would sign one out for summer break and bring it home if any were available.

His watch has ended.

Great music, hope they keep making more. Thanks for posting.

I bought a couple Sceptre TVs six years ago, been great.

I have that same soldering pen. Apparently I’ve been holding it wrong for years. I’m such an amateur.

Not a laptop, but I had an old motherboard from over 20 years ago not doing anything. Screwed it to a board on the wall of my shop. Added an old hard drive and some components out of the same old box it was in, and now have it running Mint. Found an old wifi card that works too, so I can look up parts and repair videos while I’m working on projects. Works great.

Starblazers episodes used to air randomly on one of the local UHF channels when I was around 11 years old. For some reason I remembered it recently, and some quick online searching found that it was an edited and English dubbed version of Space Battleship Yamato. Binge watched the original subtitled episodes. It was nostalgic seeing the characters that I remembered from decades ago, but good to see the entire uncut story all the way to its end.

Next generation stealth plane: going back to basics.

I’d probably sit and play Unreal, or maybe Riven if I was feeling more chill. Could easily burn through 12 hours like that. Just need to be able to take a case of Jolt, a few bags of chips, and some Skittles along and I’d be set.

Wife and I ended up in Tampa early 2006. No state tax, but man, they made up for it there in fees and licensing for everything imaginable. Seemed like a lot of service industry jobs and trades all required you to get a local license. Heck, even the gals working in strip clubs were required to get a license to perform. I know some skilled trade jobs typically required licenses, but Florida just seemed to go out of their way to try to squeeze lower and middle class workers who were just trying to get by.

Josta soda. A guarana cola drink Pepsi put out in the 90’s before energy drinks became a big thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Josta_drink.jpeg

I laughed at this comment, but also a half second later think, “unfortunately there’s a chance they’re right.”

For the love of god! My anus is bleeding! (-Yay! Hooray!-)

Came across one in a consignment bin a few weeks ago. Aww, nope, not even for $2.

Sorry you lost friends that way. Hopefully the asshole that did it never sees the outside of prison ever again.

Unless they are all closeted homosexuals, blackmail is useless at this point. They’ve seen that the base will punch the ticket for every “R” candidate regardless of any transgression aside from being gay or trying to work across the aisle.
