Last night Andrew made me dinner to celebrate my retirement. Also got to see his condo just about fully done with renovations. This kid did amazing design work for it! Even the Designer he worked with - who also did our bathroom remodels in 2024 - said he had an great sense of taste and style, doing some things even she didn't think about..... Dinner was awesome, roast seasoned chicken (amazingly tender), dan dan noodles with a decent kick/spice, and sauteed and seasoned spinach. Watched Buckaroo Banzai (*) and listened to a bunch of music and just chatted. A really wonderful night! (*) I updated my LinkedIn profile to list my "new" job as Laser Engineer, Oscillation Overthruster Division at Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems. That is the fictitious company in the movie. Only one person got it so I had to update my "About" section to tell people to Google it, and that I was retired.

I decided that it was time for a proper camera to capture the kids. My iPhone appears to have over-processed the shit out of this photo of the photo-taking tool.

No worries at all! I had found your original comment funny too, but this is even better! BTW, forgot to mention that I even put "John" as my....nickname? And no one asked me about that as well! (For those that haven't seen the movie, the aliens, both good and evil/male and female) are all named John or some variant)

Haters will saw it Photomeowshopped.

No work on the turbo encabulator, or the Rockwell retro encabulator? Dissapoint.

it is a shame that Nikon no longer has that in production. I think I counted about 23 times today that they said D5. ...earth...

Alec's International Relations professor dug this up as the last time they had any good musical protests at SMU (not exactly UC Berkeley being in Texas and all) over a stupid war. Pity we have one.

Just got home from our SF/Phoenix trip. ‘Twas fun and great to see my brother and his wife and our son. Gratuitous pictures

And that person was not me. I am so ashamed. I did change my answer though, hope that wasn't too spoiler of me.

This. Thanks for the rec. Yum indeed.

Those look like Renesas parts, which have very faint and hard to see printing.

Here's a pic of what the guy on diyaudio has. This looks like the one on the bottom of your pic. The only way to know for sure would be to pull them and test them, but I'm not sure how to best do that. Here is a link to the fs thread, and this guy is trustworthy. In Europe, but shipping hasn't been too bad not has delivery time.
