Re: Lets Discuss "Raman Noodles". - 1 year ago

QuoteMrNoBody (btw, Snapdragon Vietnamese Pho is 770mg Sodium per serving.) "Government guidelines recommend that people consume less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day -- about one teaspoon of salt. So if you eat three meals a day, you'll want to stay within 800 milligrams of sodium per meal, Yurczyk says." Not great but not terrible. Tastes just like restaurant Pho

Smashed a real spider between iMac Screen and glass - 1 year ago

Ugh. I initially thought it was one of those software bugs that crawl around the screen but it turned out to be a real spider (no more than a couple mm). I could tap on the screen to get it to move and one time I successfully got it to go behind the screen. Came back a few minutes later and it was back on the screen again. I did the tap on the screen routine again trying to get it to move b

Colossus so long as he can die for a Covid cure. "Colossus did not want any more people to suffer his sister's fate, so he injected himself with the Legacy cure and activated his mutant powers, transforming his body into organic steel. This supercharged the Legacy cure and simultaneously killed him and stopped the spread of the Legacy virus."

Re: Does POTS still exist? - 1 year ago

I had kept it for my alarm as well until I found a board I could install in my system that allows it to communicate via ethernet and then setup internet monitoring. The best thing is there is no delay for the system to call the monitoring center so the response after an alarm is near instantaneous.

Quoterz I have a half decent tape deck hooked up to an old Macbook using a Griffin iMic. I use Audacity to record the audio. I do the same with the iMic and Final Vinyl that came with it and it still works on my 2010 iMac. Have a decent 3-head Yamaha cassette deck (KX-930) and my recorded tapes sounded much better than commercial cassettes.
