Mortal Kombat gave us that sweet sweet soundtrack.

Interesting. So does it slow down your speeds any that you can tell?

I keep seeing this posted here and elsewhere. Is there a simple, easy step-by-step explanation for how to build one of these and how to deploy it on your home network?

I’ve got very limited experience with working with Raspberry Pi.

I see Snoop Dog.

So am not a Garmin user (Apple) but for years now I will regularly wash my band with soap and water and regularly wipe the back of the face (the sensor part that comes in contact with your skin) with a cloth soaked lightly in alcohol.

If I am doing some outdoor work or a lot of exercise then I will always do this as well afterwards. My wife ran into some issues with her wrists after getting hers where she developed a rash and found that regularly cleaning of the watch - both band and the sensor area stopped this from happening.

Was waiting for the Cave Johnson comment.

Biblically accurate ears

lol, I recall being in college in the 90s and us using, I think it was USENET groups. Email was just becoming a thing as well. Everything was very wild west as it is compared to today.

My dad said this exact same thing to me in the early 2000s with the dawn of the early web. He claimed it was only a fad that would soon die away.

Yup. Fad.

How many people have died because of organized religion vs. Panera charged lemonade.

Not really a fan, is that Gandalf and Mal in the picture?

I am old enough to remember that when they first started doing promos for this they didn’t drop any info or big marketing.

They did these real short TV spots with the Ghostbusters logo during prime time and other major shows with absolutely zero background. Only thing that was on it was the message ‘Coming to save the world’

I remember all the buzz at the time in school because everyone was chatting about it trying to figure out what it was about. No internet or places to read up on aside from the usual movie magazines at the grocery stores so everyone was all amped by the time the actual full trailer dropped and ready to beat the door down when it arrived in theaters.

Having seen some of the clips of the absurd ‘fashion’ shown at these events. How could anyone tell who was an intruder and who wasn’t? 😂

Gozer about to be in some serious shit.

Thanks! I will check it out.

Ah thank you for the suggestion!

So got a question for you. I have wanted to get in to this - just as a curiosity. Is there an inexpensive set of picks a person can buy to get started with to play around with?

I tried googling and ran across about a hundred different suggestions and Amazon was the usual (no help).

Yeah, I was young and it was my first job out of college (technically I worked thru college but this was my first after graduation) so I was very inexperienced still and also didn’t know what to look for when it came to red flags.

The owner’s wife worked there in a ‘higher up’ position and was the major cause of a lot of conflict at the company. Basically he would give people orders then she would come along and contradict them.

If anyone disagreed with her then she would go to hubby and complain about said person(s) making it impossible to please either because you couldn’t prove her wrong. That designer in particular was just the latest of ‘trophy wife’s wrath’. The place had an insane turnover rate I quickly found out.

At least it was a good learning experience and taught me to ask questions and meet people during the interview process.

Was hired at a company as a designer. Went to the production meeting and sat down beside another designer (introduced myself and we started chatting). In comes everyone else and sits down. We all start chatting and do introductions.

Five minutes into the meeting the company owner comes in, chatting with a salesman. He glances around the room, then his face freezes on me - he then looks at the guy beside me and keeps looking back and forth. He finally motions for me to come outside the conference room. I walk out and he asks me what I was doing there. I tell him ‘remember, you hired me and my start day was today??’

He turned pale and just said ‘oh yeah I forgot’. He let me go back in the room but then I heard him call the guy beside me out.

The guy never came back. Apparently he had intended on firing him and forgot.

Needless to say I didn’t stay long before I found another job. The place was complete chaos.

Whatcha talkin about? Our Lizard Overlords all have 6 fingers!
