Cheap ass pair of flip flops to walk out the garbage is about it.

I would agree nearly $200 for jumper cables only works if they are Monster Jumper Cables. (if you know monster cables you get the poor joke, overpriced audio gear). I’d also say get an old timey tire gauge, as rare as it is to check your tire pressure I’d rather not have to worry about the battery in an electronic one…

Windows mixed reality headsets are an option for those that don’t want to mess with facebook and have a decent gaming PC. I picked up a Dell WMR headset with controllers for $200 a few years back and it’s still plenty fine for playing stuff like Half-life Alyx, Beat Saber, or Star Wars Squadrons. Also at $200 I feel…

Did I just hear the Mario taped to the front of the kart scream witness me?

I have seen quite a few videos of lidar being used by survey teams to map out quarries and construction sites and the pro level stuff the accuracy is mind bendingly good.   Hell, I think DJI came out with an add on to their commercial drones (expensive 10k or more) that only costs around $500 to add a lidar module,…

LOL, I’m old as hell. I remember the Nickle Cadmium (Ni-Cd) rechargeable for my RC cars as a kid and for the 6 AA batteries and one 9 volt the receiver/target used my lasertag set would eat through. We had an old charger and a ton of General Electric Ni-Cd batteries I’d have to charge up because my parents refused to…

Have a couple very expensive Panasonic laser projectors at work for our lecture hall and I will say laser projection is uh-maz-ing if just because the old projectors with their 1000-4000 hour bulbs that cost nearly as much as the projector really made it tough to buy into projectors when you’d be replacing the bulb ($2…

Holy hell, that was a rough list to get through. I’d say the lists seem to get longer each year, but I think as I get older I just recognize more and more of the names on these lists... (>.<)

There’s so much amazing tech that feels like it’s on the cusp of hitting a price point that makes it tangible for average people. I’ve been playing around with photogrammetry and a DJI Mavic Air for 3D mapping historical buildings and landmarks and districts around my home town. LIDAR’s point clouds could potentially…

Sounds like an old sci-fi short story I read years ago. With space mining diamonds, gold, precious metals are now worth fractions of a penny because they are so plentiful in space if you know where to look for each one. So wood becomes the rare commodity people want when they want to flaunt their wealth.  Wood desks…

I keep 2-3 streaming services at a time and rotate them throughout the year with whatever service I want to watch. Since I can hop onto a service, binge a few shows I really want to see then cancel and move onto something else. I’ll be doing my annual check at the end of the winter since I usually cut it down to 1 or…

I’m about to write another wall of text out of spite now =P

It’s called “low hanging fruit” you don’t need to get everyone, just a handful of people is enough to start ruining people’s day.

I had a pretty nice down jacket when I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska USA and it was pretty amazing how warm you could be at -30 F.     I sold it when I moved from Fairbanks as I was moving to a desert (PHX) from the arctic.

Don’t know about these jackets as it’s waaaaaay out of my price range for jackets, but being a…

My favorite scam someone out of their info I’ve seen recently is....

—DO-NOT-DO-THIS—DO-NOT-DO-THIS—DO-NOT-DO-THIS—

What kind of crazy black magic are you talkin.... oh it works, wow, seriously thanks for the tip.  Although lifehacking lifehacker makes me think something has gone terribly wrong.

WARNING: I was not expecting to write a wall of text that borders as some kind of incoherent manifesto, consider yourself warned...

Yeah, not a fan of the slideshows. Half the time I see one I panic and think I clicked one of those ad-supported links at the bottom of a page and am now on some trash website about to find out which Smurf I am.

Phew, I’m doing it proper when it comes to tearing parchment from the roll. I now am compelled to check these kinds of thing since that Ted Talk where I found out I’ve been tying the knots of my shoelaces backwards and in the “weak” form of the knot my whole life. It always makes me wonder what other blind spots I…
