oh dear god. local hobby shop has the PG Nu Gundam in stock.
I am surprisingly finding myself fighting the urge.
the packaging for this otter box phone case says “simp pack”. rather saucy i’d say
seriously, @otterbox.bsky.social ?
you really think we’d believe this was an accident? I think your marketing interns are hysterical.
not really.
is it a reboot with all new actors?
continuing the show with half the characters?
pretend Serenity never happened?
Dear god please don’t be “the kids inherit grandpa’s ship”.
Or, even worse, “look at how many dead characters have cousins who look and act like them”
they never seem to mention the insufficient venting between decks that was a huge cause of the platform collapsing. Something that all wide bodies suffered from at the time. The DC-10 was just the first type to have a scenario that let the failure play out.

anybody in the US a fan of Ernie Gann? Dad has a lot of his books and i’m looking to re-home them.
will trade for gunpla, or model kits.
there’s a little book library where i get my hair cut. a couple months ago i donated about 10 books. i just noticed the last one has been claimed. time for a fresh donation. Happy to see people putting them to use.

are any of these DIY camera kits worth the price? i’m gonna find out one of these days.
My prediction is “no”, but i’m also going to actually try and make them all work.
you want a good deal on a power supply? This one is full price, but used and i think there’s some crumbs in the sandwich bag it’s packaged in.
more stupid amazon. packaged just like this.
