I'm surprised I don't see Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek Next Generation here yet.

I sooo wanted to rewatch that. But I just cannot get past the special effects these days. I thought it was great when it was on, now it's unwatchable for me. It's like, Playstation 1 cutscenes: the show.

Oh, that sucks! I'd say just play it on a PS2 because modding has gotten easier and cheaper for it these days, but I recently priced out some options for my cousin and it was way more than I thought. Like, if you get a system that boots but can't read discs for $30, that's a pretty good deal! And the easiest and cheapest option is a $20 memory card from AliExpress that you can load FreeMCBoot on, and all your games. But then you have to add in the controller, and those as-is systems usually don't come with a power supply. And you likely need an HDMI adapter. I don't know if you can put the whole thing together for under $100.

Easy! I'd have to say the Tudor Black Bay Heritage. It was my first Swiss watch, and I loved it ever since it came out in 2012. Long before I could afford one. I cut an ad out of a jewelry store catalog and hung it in my cube as a "someday" kind of inspiration, and couldn't afford one until 2020. I picked it up March 5, pretty much right before that whole year went to crap.

It's also the watch I wore when my daughter was born, so there's a lot of memories associated with it.

It's not super expensive, as far as luxury watches go. And there are a lot of things about it that other watch collectors don't like. Oh, there's no crown guards. Oh, you can't have Snowflake hands with round indices. Oh, it's too thick. Oh, the riveted bracelet looks bulky. But I love all those things, and it was the inspiration of more than one Invicta mod of mine until I could get it.

Edibles, video games, and luxury watches. My wife has threatened to remove limbs if I bring anymore watches home.

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.

I've been playing San Andreas on the PS2 recently. Man, I miss that era of gaming.

I don't know. I live a good female lead. Ripley, Furiosa, Marge Gunderson. There's so many, that's just the first three that come to mind. Half the time when I'm playing Fallout, it's female characters.

There are definitely bad female leads in things, too. Just like there are bad male leads. Like, Borderlands 3, basically unplayable. I never finished it. And I really want to be clear, the characters aren't bad because they are women, they are bad due to poor writing. That game had such potential, but it felt like the script was written entirely by highschoolers.

I cried the other day, and my wife laughed at me as the tears rolled down my face.

Of course, I was waking up from a colonoscopy and crying about the fact that McDonald's doesn't serve Big Macs at 9:30am.

I got this when he sold his house to move to an assisted living facility. It's just been sitting in my garage for a couple years. Busy with the kid and all that. Well, we just got a little child trailer, and I didn't want to pull it with my mountain bike so figured it would be a good time to clean this guy up. New tires and tubes. Cleaned and lubed. Waxed. I thought it was trying hard to look like an old Schwinn, so I thought some nice shiny fenders would help out with that.

I have so many memories of going on rides with him, and of him taking it camping. I always thought it was a nice looking bike. I'll have to show him a picture of it all cleaned up next time I see him, I don't think he's ridden it in at least a decade.

Next on the agenda is new brake pads, and some retro lights. Any other suggestions? Maybe a white saddle seat, or different handlebars? I'm pretty sure its only value is sentimental, so the best suggestions are cheap suggestions. Thanks!

I just don't get modern truck culture. They're so big, and ugly! They are such an inconvenience to everyone else on the road. And I doubt even half the people who own then do truck stuff with them. They're way to tall, the giant tall grilles look stupid. Their stupid headlights shine in my face. A 2024 Colorado is bigger than a 1994 Silverado. Why? I hate them even more than people who wear pajamas in public.
