Deer are "overabundant" in my area. Guy I knew hunted them. One day he brings some deer meat to work for everyone to try.
It's gross, it's chewy, ropy, and tastes like juniper. I guess it's free, but no thanks...
I’ve yet to get first hand experience with live sausages in their natural environment so I proceed with caution on a case by case basis.
Yes, sort of like if your kitchen is on fire but you also need to vacuum the living room. You should definitely focus on finishing the vacuuming before addressing the fire, because, you know, you can care about more than one thing.
I'm reminded of this type of absurdity every time my Creative T40 speakers auto-shut off after a few minutes of inactivity, and take 4 seconds to wake up again. Yes, that entire millijoule of (entirely renewable) electrical energy is making a huge difference.
Excuse me, I have to cancel a certain appointment.
I don't even want to hold hands in public, I can not wrap my head around people going to these degenerate events and having everything on video.
Yeah but the morbidly-obese hang-gliding people videos are worth it!
As suspected, I replaced the battery wires and it works. Can someone teach me to play guitar?
As kind as you? Oh please describe the steps!
AI slop and the legions of uncritical adoring emoji-filled all caps comments under every garbage video is already the end of humanity. We're done.
I'm not even a musician but I liked the look. Doesn't work but I bet it's because of the makeshift repair on the battery wires.
My New Year's resolution to stop hoarding DVDs lasted 4 days. Not bad! So here's The Sopranos on 6 discs, they call em DVD-9 discs which means they are dual layer. So I guess they must also be compressed to hell, but for 7.50$ for a 1/2 inch thick folder with magnetic closer, not bad.
It seems to be from the Far East market because of the writing on the back, but the audio is English, French, and Spanish. Interesting!
I had never heard of this series before I thrifted the Season 1 set. The S1 set pops up about once a month in various shops, but I had never seen the S2 before today. That wraps it up, it's only two seasons. It's a pretty good watch IMO. It's magical fantasy historical drama, I guess.
Almost skipped over this one, at a glance I thought it was some kind of chunky transistor radio of the "Columbus" brand, but then I saw the buttons and the HITACHI, the Columbus is just some sticker.
This is a cool little mono tapecorder thingy. Very clean "leather" (?, I think it might be real) case, no smells. Who knows what I can do with this, I don't feel like powering it up, but as a tchotchke? Wonderful!
Oh and it was 8$. I think this thing is worth maybe 20-25$ + shipping, considering I got no accessories and the battery cover is missing, it's fair. You can't notice it's missing with the case on.
No idea what's been going on for the last few days, another new-looking piece of semi-respectable audio gear. NAD has a decent reputation, I don't quite see it but for 23$, meh.
Another bookend. Soon my Kallax will collapse like those pictures of Kallaxes overloaded with vinyls.
It's in mint condition, the inside looks new, like not even a speck of dust. NAD had this odd fetish of backlighting their displays with incandescent lightbulbs, that look like Maglite bulbs, soldered to a board that overheats. The board looks new and the bulbs as well. No smoky insides.
For a manufacture year of 1999, that's quite an interesting design choice.
I didn't even bother plugging it in yet, even I, Certified Master Hoarder, didn't have a CD on hand and there's no headphone jack anyway.
This thing is crazy. It's this giant cassette deck with an ultimate late '70s look to it. Those huge vertical VU meters, LED "Spectropeak" display, that power button, those piano keys, beautiful.
It's in impeccable condition, all the knobs are there, not even a scratch on the cassette door window.
It's massive, super heavy and huge. Inside it's amazing, it's a basic single motor mechanism but everything's huge in there. Huge motor, gigantic flywheel, and some kind of internal secondary chassis to hold stuff in place. Belt's slack though, at least it ain't goopified.
It doesn't do Dolby but has ANRS and Super ANRS, some kind of alternative noise reduction system.
It didn't power up at the Renaissance but it was 15$. It will make a decoration or bookend if, as I suspect, I will never attempt to repair it.
I guess this can be handy if you have coax going between rooms but want ethernet connectivity. Sure this thing is about 15 years old but it's new in box, the stuff inside is still in its baggies.
I just think it looks cool.
Seasons 3&4 on Bluray, shrink-wrapped. Not bad, although the media selection at each Friperie and Value Village is dwindling.
I found these unique items labelled "bols" which I think is French for "bowls". They came with a strangely-shaped key, but it doesn't help, I can't see how to use these items as bowls?
It is quite heavy though.
It's a Redragon Kumara K552-KR, I have no idea if it's nice to type on. It's kinda thick and heavy, which I like, the cable was pulled out of the housing but that was an easy fix. It's like they expected it somehow, there's a screwed on panel to access that. Do gamers express frustration by pulling out their keyboard's cable?
