8 years of experience programming in a language that didn't exist until two years ago.

I had the same reservation until recently. A few weeks back I bought a set of their 6t Daytona jackstands after inspecting the welds and safety pins and those things are damn solid. I probably wouldn't use their much cheaper and smaller 3t models, but these 6t stands are great. I have a hunch they upped their QC and quality after all that bad jackstands press they got.

I run Ryobi for battery tools and Harbor Freight stuff for most of the hand tools. I splurged a bit and went with Tekton for my wrenches. But really, harbor freight stuff has been absolutely fine for me, especially their new higher tier tools like Icon and Quinn.

Currently a 1996 2 door Tahoe. Picked it up last week, no rust on the thing, but a few mechanical issues I've been working through. Just put on an alternator, belt/tensioner/idler, power steering pump and steering gearbox today. Tomorrow is new headlight and transfer case switches, nerf bars and a third brake light.

Assuming you have a PC, come join us on the Ephinea PSOBB server: https://ephinea.pioneer2.net/

Phantasy Star Online (PSO). I have thousands of hours in that game across Dreamcast, GameCube and PC over the decades and I'm still not tired of it. It absolutely nailed the loot system and you're always looking to get another rare box drop. BlueBurst on PC still has multiple active and populated servers, but I feel like it doesn't get much discussion in gaming communities in general despite being one of the pioneers of online gaming on consoles.

Hell yeah it does. I just replayed it on my Steam Deck the other day after previously playing it on PS2 and PSP. My favorite rhythm game by far.

I'm not that guy, but I find my set up to be very comfortable and immersive. I use a Quest 2 with a VRCover full facial interface, an elite battery strap, a pair of good IEMs and a set of widmo prescription lens inserts, playing mostly PCVR titles wirelessly via Virtual Desktop. The battery counter balances the weight of the headset, and there's no wire to step on and pull me out of the game.

I used PSVR and a Rift S previously and this set up is much better.

Honestly I considered a solar shower for my Overland rig, but had space to spare and got a propane one with a pump instead. I'm already carrying a cylinder for cooking, and attaching a filter to the pump lets me pull from any standing water. 12v power is pulled from the truck. Might be worth looking in to if you're already carrying propane.

Same here, Navidrome backend, but use Symphonium front end on Android and the Navidrome WebUI everywhere else.
