Not sure about a site, but I would highly recommend the book "Apollo Remastered" by Andy Saunders: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/andy-saunders/apoll...

While I don't have a use for this, I do like the idea of purposeful modes in computing. Obviously there is a lot you can do with shortcuts and preferences, but its nice to have a limited to base to start with. I think this is even more

I've settled on Navidrome for the server, and Symfonium for the player on Android (not open source). Symfonium can sync with the server so I can have all my music even when offline. https://github.com/navidrome/nav

I still get motion sick after a while when watching someone else play an FPS. If I'm playing myself there is no problem. I can also get motion sick as a passenger in a car, but have no issue driving.

The only location in Minnesota was also owned by this franchisee. It was a real shock when it closed since it always seemed to be busy. If there was a movie we really wanted to see in the theater, the drafthouse was always the first choice.

I encountered many of these tar covered PCs doing retail computer repair. One of the worst I can remember was a wood shop PC of a heavy smoker. The combination of tar and sawdust absolutely glued everything in place. Dead mice and roaches w

I recently went down a rabbit hole of playing early home flight simulators. One that stuck with me was Tomcat F-14 for the Atari 2600. A combat flight simulator on a system with one button seemed impossible. I tried playing it without any i

Thank you for reminding me! I actually own the printed zines for EXA Punks. They also came with a secret envelope to be opened at a certain point in the game. I ordered them mostly out of a love for anything Zachtronics did. I don't ha

I recently picked up a copy of this from a retro game store while on vacation. The box was covered in dust and slightly damaged on the corners. To my surprise everything inside was in mint condition. Simulators obviously have a higher stand

There are many manual espresso machines out there, one of the most iconic in recent years being the Cafelat Robot http://www.cafelat.com/robot.html . There are lever/piston machines going back to the 1940s.

Here is one from 1958 in Japan that has been preserved. The whole video is worth watching, but here is a demo of a running calculation: https://youtu.be/_j544ELauus?t=1027 .

Recently I was trying to take a picture of my sleeping cat. I used the double tap power button shortcut to open the camera as I normally do, but it didn't show up for some reason so I did the shortcut again. The phone started a loud si

In my experience these wear out extremely quickly even when following the manufacturer's care instructions. Inevitably the touch functionality degrades leading to me ripping them off in frustration to do what I need to do in the moment

We have one in Minnesota as well. Apparently there are quite a few replica churches in the U.S.: https://maps.roadtrippers.com/trips/19456115

I'll always hold a grudge against the CIA HQ for taking the A-12 Oxcart we had displayed at the Minnesota Air National Guard Museum. Now very few people from the general public can enjoy it. http://www.habu.org/a-12&#x2

Hill start assist is a thing in "modern" manual transmissions. It automatically holds the brake for you as you engage the clutch so you don't roll back. After burning the clutch in my previous car when I was stuck climbing a

This plane was going to be scrapped before he purchased it. There was also an odd modified fuel selector visible in the cockpit that is unlikely to be allowed on a non-experimental aircraft. Seemed obvious that this wasn't a plane he i

Interesting to look at the various satellite map sources of the ship breaking yard. On Bing/Google Maps you can see two carriers in different levels of disassembly. On DDG you can see one with most of the deck still installed. Bing: h

It is. I had a subscription and used a Roku Ultra. However, I cancelled my subscription after every 4k stream buffered even on a gigabit connection. I watch 4k UHD content on every other service through the Roku without issue. So your milea

As a Minnesotan, I don't really understand the focus on Paul Bunyan in the design. Is that really what we're most known for? Looks like a great design for a craft beer label though.

Though the magazine was largely before my time, I have an art print of the cover for the May 1981 [1] issue and it makes me smile every time. [1] https://vintageapple.org/byte/pdf/198105_Byte_Magazine_Vol_0...

I have rudder pedals for flight simulators under my desk. Most of the time they just sit there not being used. This inspires me to find more uses for them. Since they offer analog inputs, maybe scrolling or volume control.

While certainly not as cheap, the Casio Wave Ceptor watches have great utility. My favorite travel watch is the WVA-M640-1AJF. It is always accurate, always charged, and allows me to quickly see what time it is in another time zone. Before

I was looking forward to this kit, but I applaud Lego for standing by their values. I also appreciate that they haven't taken action against companies like Brickmania[1] which cater to those looking for kits like this. [1] https:&#x2F
