efaardvark Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Got a new pair of wireless headphones last week for when I play KSP. (Some people tell me that exploding rocket noises in the middle of the night keep them awake. Whatev.) I'm liking them. Not only are they much more comfortable and less plastic-y than the old logitech "gaming" headphones they're replacing, they're visually more appealing as well. The Logitech pair had a prominent and glowing "G" that you could not turn off without using the (Windows, naturally) configuration app. These new ones have a barely-visible LED on the power switch and that's it. I hate the RGB-everything fad that's taken over computing recently. Reminds me of the "toilet seat" era of Apple Macs.. no performance benefit, more expensive, and looks like crap. But I like these headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Not exactly a new acquisition but I was doing some cleaning & rearranging of furniture and rediscovered some old space memorabilia of my late father’s in the back of a closet. Main items were a button... .. and 2 belt buckles. This was the 70s so think wide belts and polyester. (Be glad you missed it.) Still cool from a historic/memorabilia standpoint but I don’t think I’ll actually be wearing them any time soon. Anyway, there was one for Mariner, the precursor/pathfinder for the later Voyager spacecraft.. .. and the other buckle was for Viking, the first American vehicle to successfully land on Mars. I remember ditching middle school the days they landed (there were 2 of them) so I could watch the first pictures of the surface of Mars come down .. one thin strip at a time.

Kohloo Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 We got a brand spankin’ bed with a bed frame and two new pillows. The mattress is memory foam, and the pillows are filled with shredded memory foam. It’s like sleeping in heaven 21 hours ago, Wedgy said: I have acquired a kitten. She's super sweet and she runs on a V8 or higher for sure. Feels like forever since I've had a cat who isn't a dickhead. What a precious, adorable little cutie! You got a name for her? :3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone actually still use these things? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, kids come up with interesting pet names. I had a dog named “Velcro” once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Two things.. first is an item I found at the company store. They haven't had much stock and have been keeping reduced hours since the covid thing started but I managed to find them open and this t-shirt on the rack Thursday.. The other item is a new "Pangolin" from System76. I've been needing a new laptop to replace my 2013-vintage MB Air and they just recently got some more stock in so I bought myself a birthday present. Yes, I'm going to do something about that desktop wallpaper. It just came Thursday & I haven't yet got a round tuit. (Not that I dislike Pop!_OS so far but we can do better.)

efaardvark Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Finally got a bigger shadowbox for my pins. Things were getting quite a bit crowded in the old one. (That would be the little one above the big one in the pic.) Now I just need to find space for the new one. The old one fit on my bookshelf like a large picture frame. The new one is going to need a few sq ft of wall somewhere. On the plus side I now have a tiny bit more room for actual books. Forgot to post this the other day too. Not exactly a new acquisition though. More a rediscovered item.. an old navy jacket from my grandfather’s CB days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
