Thrifting in Lewis, DE and found a 3.5" disk of embroidery patterns for the Husqvarna Viking. There's always something interesting hiding in the strangest shops.

Barbie doll house computer from the 80s with CRT and floppy disk drives. Looks kind of like a Commodore PET.

I take issue with this mindset. It's complete speculation. We can fix anything we put our minds to.

4 panel Garfield parody comic

P1: Jon and Garfield. Garfield thinks the immortal words: "I hate Mondays"

P2: Jon stares at the Garf

P3: Wide panel. Jon leans in toward Not Heathcliffe, gesturing at him with his left hand, and says "why. WHY do you hate Mondays. you are a cat. If anything, *I* should be the one to hate Mondays!"

P5: another wide panel, an extreme closeup of The Cat. He thinks:

"... Even as someone who doesn't work, I am -- as are we ALL-- beholden to a system thatbos toxic to the human (and feline) condition. 

A neverending cycle that chews us up and spits us out. 

I do not hate Mondays, human. I hate what Mondays represent."

There's even a little more he's still getting out of storage.

Absolutely over the moon.

FOMO and eBay prices be damned. There are kind people out there looking to pass along cherished hardware to a good home.

Network with people! Share your passion! When you do, things like this may happen. 😯

A coworker noticed a post on Reddit about someone looking to donate 8 and 16-bit computers. Met up with an older gentleman who was cleaning out in preparation for hitting the road in an RV in the coming years.

This is probably just screaming into the void, but does anyone know how I might be able to get my Google Maps Location History (Timeline) data for the last decade? Google moved me over to the "device only" storage recently, then Google Fi support had me reset my phone. I think I'm screwed.
