I never watched Soap but either the promo for it or the showās theme song would play before or after something I did watch regularly so itās a formative memory for me.
The most irritating earworm ever. And now itās a part of me. Fuck Soap

This is going to be rough on vhs with no skip into button. This is the music youād put in front of a video showing an uncoordinated child try to stack blocks.

The first sweet Shawnee was produced in 1950 this one would have been sometime after. Undoubtedly these are pinball buttons if this information helps

Sicckk. Yeah I canāt wait to see the insides. The more arcade stuff I build the more I want to know how older weirder stuff WAS built.
I can see a glimpse of the Altair board but paler green. There are two locks in the back that the guy never had the keys for. Iām going spend some time using a reciprocating saw to cut them off. I donāt know of Iām going to get thorough out today
Weāll shoot. Thatās not going to work. Itās designed to prevent that kind of breaking in. Iām going to have to drill it out. I donāt think I have cutting oil
Ok this is fling east faster than I thought. One lock down but my drill bit kids shot. I think I have another

Ok. WAY more going on here than I would have expected. ATA cables ask over the place and a couple of ATX power cables. Itās been serviced as the caps are way newer than anything else here. I wonder if it was modified to fit the standard of Illinois banking law. The boards on the bottom do not look original.
This is just a game. Thereās no way for this to dispense winnings. It does not alter to work like the guy said. Iām going to check for new connections

Just found a brand new Kathmandu Federate Adapt pack for $25. Theyāre from 2017 so I guess itās just been hanging around for a while.
Should be pretty good for short trips.

A good deal on something you like feels so good. Congrats. My ex got me a rubberized large Cotopaxi hiking pack that I cherish. Iām going to be sad when it starts to decompose. They are way more than Iād spend on myself and they arenāt popular in central Illinois. Finding one new or used for cheap is not going to happen.

I found what I think is the most expensive rubber dome key pad that Iāve ever seen at a thrift store. I paid 10 for it but this thing sells for 160 dollars. Itās RBG back lit and has rubberized bumpers but the expense probably comes from its boutique macro software that is still in development. P.I. Engineering XK-24. It did not come with the key labels or any of ours accessories. Thatās fine, Iām 1000 percent going to use this in my studio where I have multiple monitors for references and one for saving music or movies on in the background. The software is for prime who know how to do things, I am no such person. This is going to be a bummer
Ok itās not hard but it does not record scroll wheel function which is a mild bummer but Iāll live. I was hoping to use keys as a 1/4 page smooth scroll but Iāll settle for copy arrow key scroll. I take it all back, this thing rules. Itās macros recording is extremely robust. Like almost a stream deck level of control. Iām going to have to brush off my script kiddie skills and bug the hell out of my programmer brother because this thing is going to make life in my studio way easier. I have dirty clay covered hands and the less I touch computer parts the better.

I talked to my tribe and weāre discussing creating a small museum of native stereotypes from american history in a small room in the tribal casino. I give this a 25 percent chance of actually happening because both the director and I are extremely strong willed and butt heads in every interaction. Thankfully it has not harmed out ability to get along and we even laugh about once the profanity filled smoke has cleared.
The idea is that the white folks that visit the casino probably have some possitive associate with harmful native stereotypes. This room would surround them with these objects along with actual histories of the people their depicting. Not in a negative or shaming way but in a way that has them reading and making up their own minds.

Iāve got nothing to add except that I think this is a really good idea for an exhibit.
I can see how a casino might not necessarily want to make people think aboutā¦anything, so that environment could make it a hard sell.

Itās a tribal casino so itās bit exactly like a Vegas one. They do employ a lot of manipulative tricks that casinos do but the four winds casino is much larger than just a casino. Thereās a hotel and and art gallery. Thereāll be a space for it. Itās just getting funding and labor to be discussed and thatās where the tension will be. I have a sound presentation but itās only the first step
I went on a crazy ask day thrift and antique binge. There was an antiquing event across several small 3000 people towns that opened all their antique stores with sales. I got about 600 dollars worth of things that should have been triple that. Iāll post and bunch of stuff once I get some rest.

I got a cup that says sour cream and a cup that says applesauce today, but I think the funniest thing I saw was a rental case for Smash Bros Wii with a copy of Enter the Matrix inside.

Iāve been looking for both of these items at an affordable price for over a decade and Bms found both this weekend. The shade is resin that is carved in relief in such a way that the image only looks correct when light is shown through it thickness of the material either lets more or less light though giving it an uncanny 3d look.
