OK, here's the deal. This person is selling this batch of 251 issues of Computer Shopper for $3000, firm. $13/issue is a good price (even if some are rough). If we raise $3000, I will buy it and scan them all. (The CS issues will need to be split.) Venmo is @textfiles - Paypal is jason@textfiles.com, will also be willing to discuss other methods of getting me cash for it. If this falls apart, I will refund everyone. $3000 is firm (I asked). Go for it if you want this to happen.

@textfiles dang, wish I would have known. I've got a boxed copy on VHS I ripped a few years ago

@dr_a We lost power for a bit, but other than that we're good

@choong Some. Especially out here in the country where we have some less traveled roads with lots of valleys

We got hit with an ice storm last night. The effects were pretty dramatic. You can see the direction the wind was blowing as one side of my house is encased in ice.

We're good, no frozen pipes, etc. However everything looks like some sort of fantasy novel where some sort of evil wizard has frozen the realm.

@coleens_ Same. It's my least favorite packing material. Bulky, hard to get rid of, and doesn't break down over time. Oh and the little bits get everywhere

@wbm312 Those look amazing!

@bifrosty2k In the end everything worked great, the cold just cut my flight time in half. I'm tempted to make a cozy for my drone that I can slide a heater packet into.

Reposting here since our community has effectively split.

Cancer finally got the better of TryCatchHCF. He was "a real mensch" as they'd say. A genuinely nice person with a big heart. Our community is poorer without him in it. Rest in peace, Joe.

@Name_Too_Long Yeah. I ended up flying for a bit, but you could pretty much watch the battery meter dropping down by the second. Got some nice shots. This thing is a really nifty bit of kit and I've barely explored the features on it.

@cybeardsec Internet pipe froze. Just warm it up with a propane torch

I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.

Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.

Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.

@kilamanzego And a very Merry Christmas to y'all as well

I want to put the drone up and get some video, but we're about 15 degrees below it's acceptable operating temperature. I'm afraid that at several hundred feet it will impersonate a rock.

Anyone have any issues operating a drone in very low temps?

@tsiolkovsky The HVAC tech was able to get the heat back on last night (we'd been without for 2 days) so we're currently toasty.

@corsairmo She did what she calls 'dumpster cookies'* and chocolate walnut. My wife's an amazing cook/baker.

*Apparently a lot of folks call them 'kitchen sink cookies'

Merry Christmas to those that celebrate. Happy Sunday to everyone else.

Hope the day is filled with good food, fun, and you get to spend it with the people you want to be with.

While my current Christmas situation is not ideal. I mean, we didn't get a tree for the first time in 24 years. I at least get to spend it with the woman I love in our little [frozen] chunk of heaven.

@corsairmo we just discovered our cinnamon roll experiment was a bit of a flop. That said, the cookies were on point

2022-12-23

@ian At my house last night the wind sounded just like the "spooky wind noises" from one of those Halloween records

@kkearns I'm saying 3 people comfortably, probably 4. Guess we'll just have to find out, now won't we.
