Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Ah nice. A cottage industry selling self inking stamps. Collect the whole set! 000
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 18/02/2025I ran a demo of dangerous boomer toys at SecretCon 2024 in Minneapolis. Fortunately the Thingmaker was operated outdoors. 010
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Had the World Book Encyclopedia and Childcraft set. Both were published in 1968 and were green and white. Whenever there wasn’t anything good on TV or otherwise just bored, I’d grab one off the shelf and read whatever looked interesting. 161
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 21/12/2024The cost is actually a bargain considering what one gets in return in my opinion. So I was scolding myself for being a such miserly boob. 110
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Had a day to myself in Lisbon and was wandering around that neighborhood. When I came upon the castle's entrance, my terminal cheapskatery nearly caused me to balk at the €15.00 entrance fee. Glad I pried open the wallet and went inside. A truly magnificent place. 110
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Yup. Maybe not middle school level though. Was disappointed to learn much of the autobiographical accounts conflict with reality. 010
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Admittedly, more frequent descaling could have prevented having to muck about the insides to get at a clog. This definitely put stress on a plastic fitting that later leaked. 020
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 09/12/2024We've loved our five year old Breville to near death. But thanks to YouTube and forums, fixing the innards and valves is do-able (the repeated heating and cooling can wreak havoc on the plastic fittings). 110
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I was stationed at 29 Palms, California (mostly hated it) but when I was out in the middle of nowhere, the vastness of the desert and the distant mountains was almost overwhelming. Really hard to describe to anyone who hasn't experienced it. 110
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 24/11/2024How long would this take to complete if you dedicated a few hours a day (or however long you’d work on it without any other projects)? 110
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 22/11/2024It was a way of combining a dreary commute and staying in shape. It took a toll though. I was almost worthless as a dad that night and the next day if it was a weekday ride. By the spring it was just drudgery and I rarely biked in winter again because I hated going that far in darkness. 010
Steve @steveor.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I bought a used Cannondale touring bike specifically for commuting in Chicago because I had to carry a suit in a pannier/garment bag. One winter I did the 20 mile ride each way (only a couple times a week) and I felt like Shackleton each time I arrived at my destination. 210
