YouTube keeps suggesting Mr. Chimetime's food review videos to me (probably because I keep watching them).

Hung up some nets in an otherwise nearly useless alcove (there is a radiator just out of frame so you can't put shelving) to get the plushie collection put away. Now I need to find a suitable piece of wall art to put up in the void.

I got some NEC 256KB DRAM chips in a box of commodore stuff I bought (C64, 1541, VIC-1520), and obviously they don't belong with that... I can find spec sheets for them, anyone know of any applications?

This composite image of the primordial contact binary Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU69 (nicknamed Ultima Thule) – featured on the cover of the May 17 issue of the journal Science – was compiled from data obtained by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft as it flew by the object on Jan. 1, 2019. The image combines enhanced color data (close to what the human eye would see) with detailed high-resolution panchromatic pictures.

Picture of Godzilla with the text: Saying "my life stinks" when things go wrong is self deprecating, defeatist, and fills you with sadness.

Saying "this isn't the life Godzilla wants for me" is motivating, makes you think about Godzilla, and reminds you that Godzilla cares about you.
