Upon further inspection of the rack, a single bullet was found to have penetrated the downed server’s Intel CPU.

Cleaned up my sister’s 1979 era Barbie Dream House and put it on the mantle. The wife plans to populate it. Need to figure out how to secure it as it’s relying on gravity and fulcrum math to stay put.

Got my Time Machine back from the shop and I’m trying to decide if I should use screws to mount the time circuits onto the dash panel or find a more gentle installation option.

Intense story. When I was the webmaster at COMPAQ in the 90s (with your adjacent daughter), we had a server go down one night. We tried to remote into it to no avail. A IOPS guy walked to the data center building and discovered a hole in the rack. A matching hole was whistling in the window. #Texas

TikTok is not that appealing anymore. It barely pays now. They never give me any traffic for my well produced videos. The threat of banning by the US government has reduced advertisers willing to spend there. At first it was great until it wasn't.

Trying to appeal to a wider audience means hitting the monetization length sweet spot which is about 8 to 15 minutes. In a TikTok everything I do is shown in incredibly fast 3 to 5 minute clips, but I get to slow down from 10X to 5X and sometimes even 1X & share more detail on YT.

You got it reversed. Been there done that as far as figuring out TikTok. Conquering the mysteries of the YouTube algorithm is my current white whale & adapting my TikToks to YouTube has been ongoing since last December. While I get people make 1+ hour repair videos, they're not widely popular.

Hate to break it to you but it takes well over eight hours of editing, writing, recording and finessing the edit to get 13 minutes.

Rearranged my lab to be less "you've been robbed!" and more "I see you like the 80s."

Fully working! Tantalum capacitor replace fixed the 12V fuse blowing issue. New op amp chip fixed missing pew-pew shooting sound. New joystick stick and buttons and a little cleaning and she's back, baby.

Picked up a Taito Space Invaders cabaret last Sunday for $400. Linear supply is blowing the 12V fuse. Bought a switcher adapter from ArcadeShop to replace it. #SOON

Did some time travel on Friday at Dan Electros in the Houston Heights for a private birthday party.

Another day, another tomahawk.

Grabbed a working Golden Tee 3D for $250 this weekend. It's in a Dynamo HS-1 cabinet and begging to be converted into a better cheesy 1980s JAMMA game. I'm thinking maybe Final Fight.

We acquired two puppies to bring our pack up to 4 doggos. I think they like each other.

They're named Joey and Chandler.

That is not the general consensus. Dark World and any of the Hulk films are considered generally far worse. And Iron Man 2 is also a bit of a stinker as well.

Accidentally slammed my forehead into my KnightRider aluminum hood this morning. Just wanted to check battery voltage (it was 12.6V DC) but now I have a fun dent / tiny laceration in my noggin.

Bought a dozen black roses for my wife's early Valentine's Day. Bill & Ted phone booth in the background not included.

I'm 55 and extremely culture savvy so it has been disheartening to see a favorite totem of my youth taken by those nazi fucks.

The problem is Back to the Future referenced 88 miles per hour as the speed you hit during time travel. It was picked because all of the LEDs in a digital display are lit up. This deal where it's associated with HH is new so it sucks but I have nothing to do with that. #VotedHarris #HateKanye.
