He was Zoltan from Dude, Where's my Car. Plus, he hosted Talk Soup. My pop culture knowledge peaked 25 years ago, so that's all that I can contribute.

This is where switching allegiances to pursue 'Just the rights that I want and no further' gets you.

Yep! The Turbiaux pocket pistol. Very unique round gun. Contrary to what the book says, the Iver Johnson gun used in the McKinley assassination bore no resemblance to it.

I still have Arms and Armor on my bookshelf! The gilded percussion revolver? The African throwing knife? The tilting helmet with a face? Every page was a new thing for child me to fixate on.

No thoughts available. My plan was to get a newish router compatible with standard OpenWRT so I flashed the latest release within five minutes of opening the box.

I appreciated the custom skin that glinet provided for the web interface in passing.

I've been using a Flint 2 for the better part of a year. No complaints. I was used to a decent Asus router and replaced it when it went end-of-life because the OpenWRT firmware for the ASUS device wasn't feature-complete.

I installed vanilla OpenWRT as soon as I took the Flint 2 of the box and I ran into no major issues. I only need to focus on home use with wired and wireless clients, plus a network printer. The web interface works as advertised, as has the command line interface to the extent that I've played around with it. Once I dealt with the basic setup, I've been able to forget that it's there other than to install new updates when they become available. Whenever I feel like it, I'll see about installing some services like router-level vpn or network adblocking. Not a priority yet, plus I like doing clean installs when I update the router firmware.

Their way is optimal. If you remove the old k cup while putting in the next k cup, you open and close the machine half as many times. This reduces wear and tear while forcibly obligating each user to remove exactly one k cup per use.

If your showerthought is true, then what do you suppose that I have been doing while shuffling aimlessly through life since the invention of paperback books and smartphones, eh? Living like a pig? How dare you.

With a circle you actually get the lowest possible ratio of friend-fringe to total friend-area, when compared to alternative 2-D friendship n-gons.

It depends on what you're looking for. If size and weight aren't a concern, Unicomp is making slightly modernized Model M keyboards in the US and you can order directly from their website.

I have a Classic and an EnduraPro, both of which work just fine and could be used as a hammer if necessary.

I wish you luck with your campaign!

 

Are there any other home-roasters in the community? I live in an area where the commercially available coffee tends to be pre-ground and stale. Over the years, I've started roasting my own coffee. Feel free to chime in to this post if you do the same or if you're curious about it and we can compare notes on technique!
