Did some shopping at the unfortunately named “Hard-Off” store and stumbled across a bit of a treasure trove about 45 minutes outside of Tokyo.

Apparently I'm feeling very Slow on the 4th.

'merica! cheers

Go Birgir, go Birgir, it's your birthday, rape and pillage, like it's your birthday! Cheers!

Happy Birthday Birgir! Here's hoping you rise to the occasion, and get lots of dough, at the very yeast! We all know that inside that massive Viking body, there lies a delicate flour of a man. So roll out the good cheer, as we know that you kneed it. And isn't it about time we heard news of a "bun in the oven"?

All the balls are the same colour.

I am rediscovering my XRCD's collection. Today , Isao Suzuki "Blue City" XRCD

Disclaimer: I'm in IT and my workplace is nearly all Apple/Macs. The butterfly keyboards are a bit love/hate and definitely not as robust as the pre-Touchbar keyboards. Issues/considerations for the Touchbar machines include: failure of individual keys due to dust/dirt getting underneath. In my experience, it's fixable 90-95% of the time with canned air, the other times, you have to send it in. Also, when Apple has official documentation on it, you know it's an issue. the early butterfly keyboards are almost as loud as some of the click-y mechanical keyboards. Some people don't mind, but I've had users tell me they get looks in cafes and coffee shops. include dongle and adapters in your budget, because all the ports are USB-C. more fragile design: the space tolerances in the Touchbar machines are smaller and thus more prone to fatal/major damage if dropped or struck. We've had a handful of users get cracked screens from being jostled around in their backpacks, so this might be an important consideration if you are rough with your machine or need something more rugged. I'll be pretty happy to see them ditch the butterfly design myself. I also wouldn't mind if they made the chassis a little larger to allow for better cooling and general overall ruggedness instead of chasing the smaller-every-revision goal.

What more fitting tribute to America's Birthday than an ABBA tribute band. http://www.abbatheconcert.com/ A fun time, with multiple generations knowing all the words, other than people taking portrait videos. Savages.

Still really digging this. They even do space rock

Not a bad way to spend the 4th of July. Happy Independence Day, everyone!

I finally cased up my uTracer. So much nicer to work with I still have a few refinements, but it's up and running now.

Mike I hope you have a great birthday full of Beer and Pizza!!

Little shit is living better than I am. That's a Tesla. "Orange Crush" Sunset at Windansea Beach in San Diego, California.

Karen and I started Stranger Things Season 3 last night.....just watched first episode....

Mine is a 2015 and I'm very happy with it. I do feel like it struggles a bit due to lack of RAM sometimes, but it's mostly the onboard storage limitations (128GB) that have started to creep in more often. But I also think the issues with the current keyboards are probably overblown. I've got two coworkers who just bought different versions of the butterfly keyboard (12" Macbook, 2018 Air) so it'll be interesting to see if either has issues.

Cube farm neighbor pissed off a coworker. He leaves on vacation. This is what he will come back to. Don't piss off your coworkers.

So many things wrong with this

A couple more from the M240 combo above (with Richard Serra sculpture). Then a couple treatment experiments from the Sigma sd Quattro H (with 50 Art). Assuming these are being viewed on phone so finished in Snapseed.

Just finished eating a couple of Sirloins done on the Weber. Did a simple salt, pepper and garlic rub and then a Rosemary butter baste using Rosemary sprigs to do the basting. More importantly, this was the initial run for my new MEATER Block. True wireless meat probes with a nice phone app. I was cooking these to a non HC medium rare (15 year old taste buds) and it came out absolutely perfect. No guess work. Very pleased. I did have to wait a fucking Long time as it was bought on Kickstarter. They have a web site now so you should not have to wait a year and a half for yours.
