Last update 2019, but that very much looks like Geocities web ring type pages from the turn of the century and OMG I'm old.

Thats, uh, yeah. Can't say I've heard of that particular nonsense before. Of course no warranty from this magic snake oil provider i assume?

I have those tendencies but now i make myself name a specific thing i need it for. If i can't immediately name it, I won't buy.

Big hole is where one of the disappearing carriage guns lived. Installed 1890s, scrapped during ww2

Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island and Artificial Island generating station. There used to be another fort on the other side of Pea Patch to control the river up to Philly. Obsolete when complete tho, ships had guns with more range than the land battery.

Better view of what remains of the fire control tower

Haven't been on a standup in a very long time, and i don't know that i even could anymore. Even if i got up my knees wouldn't suffer it for long.

These were one of the early sit down PWC. I kinda remember they sucked like most of that era. Then again back then I was riding a stand up Jet Ski.

that is an extremely vintage looking Shop Rite

That Lincoln Guy @electrogeek.bsky.social · 1d

encountering the brainwashed rightoids IRL is frustrating. I had someone insist that Obama "took away the shop classes", even though they were going away when I was in school in the 90s. Then suddenly it was St Ronnie that got them going and Bush Sr that undid it.

I basically limit my follows to people who post about cars and music. Everything else is too stressful

I swear data plates are a total mystery to people. "please tell me what model this thing is" *posts picture of tag with model number clearly visible on it*. More annoying is when its taken with a potato and you know the model is there, its just not readable.

last time I went they had the prop bag for 2 bucks or something. That theater isn't even there now. It was this cool old place with very 1970s orange velour seats.

I fixed a GMT400 4x4 panel for my boss earlier this week. A few minutes with a soldering iron and its good to go, better than spending $80 on a new one.

I threw out all my obsolete vacuum tube junk and bought a Bluetooth speaker. Its way better.

I've traded-in my Mini so I can buy a new grey, base-model Toyota Grand Highlander with plastic wheel covers. I just love pointless, bloated, three-row SUVs!

These modern Navy ships look like they have dunce caps on them. USS Arlington heading downriver.

That Lincoln Guy @electrogeek.bsky.social · 3d

I have similar annoyance with anyone who does the "I don't know what this is, so it must be stupid" thing. Then again I'm now An Old, and was old even before I was.
