@p @jeremiah dude, theres some nice apartments over by that microcenter.

@ins0mniak @jeremiah If I'm going to live in Texas, I'm going to get a yard.

@p @jeremiah Id rather have a pool.
Good things happen there.

@ins0mniak @jeremiah I hate apartments. I hate turning the music down, and I like the option of being outside in the cool night air without having to put on outside-style clothing and sitting down with a DevTerm that can see my WAP from my yard and the cat getting to shit somewhere that I don't have to deal with it.

It's much safer to drink and barbecue in a yard than on a balcony.

The only downside of CPi's gear is its availability.

@p @Humpleupagus @jeremiah If I see a chick like that in the pool I go back inside.

@ins0mniak @Humpleupagus @jeremiah That is the main downside of living in that kind of building: hell is other people. You gotta call a guy to fix things instead of just fixing things, everything going on outside your living room is basically other people.

@p @jeremiah I drink in the park even though I'm not supposed to.

I'm the guy who comes to fix things. I'd prefer you fix them yourself.

Or at least stop putting in work orders saying the toilet is broken when you just took a massive shit and clogged it.
(this happens a lot)
Then they request you come when they are at work so they don't need to face their shame.

That is *what* broke the toilet.
Anyway, I eat enough fat that the toilet doesn't clog. Greased shit just slides through.

Yah management companies are stupid about that shit. My bathroom outlet was loose and the maintenance told me I couldn't tighten it myself...

@Tony @Humpleupagus @p @jeremiah Id own it.
Just be all "taco bell my brotha!"

@p @Humpleupagus @jeremiah I usually try to fix shit myself.
Last time the maintenance guy did have to come I thought the cat was going to rip him to shreds.

@p @Tony @Humpleupagus @jeremiah Sometimes I just go to the Raddison down the street.
They have bathrooms with mints and jazz playing

@ins0mniak @Humpleupagus @Tony @jeremiah PROTIP: concierge desks will loan you chargers usually, unless the hotel sells them.
Basically, unless I am living upstairs from a dumpling store, I want a DMZ between myself and the normies.

@p @ins0mniak @jeremiah there's no booze at this party. only machines, solder, and burgers that are not where you went.

@jae @ins0mniak @jeremiah This is reasonable party, I like this party. Micro Center had a wide assortment of soldering irons, but no oscilloscopes and no random display full of hunting knives; it is about 1/3 of Fry's "markers of a place for the nerd" but I liked it a lot.

> soldering irons
no soldering irons are needed, this is a continuation of the "smells like pure engineering" bit. besides, i have nothing to solder. lora nodes are built and i paid a guy
> oscilloscopes and no random display full of hunting knives;
don't forget the mismatched series of cheers box set, the rare big-cherry candy, and the motherboards nailed to the wall like cyberchrist
> it is about 1/3 of Fry's "markers of a place for the nerd"
fry's to me was what bestbuy should have been. like a real man's electronics/computer place.
microcenter almost gets it right, until you're dealing with a fucking line of gpu-drooling fatasses and all you want is a drive and a copy of 26xx.

Well, yeah, I was just thinking about how to tell that a place is for my people. If they sell soldering irons, they are a store designed for my people.

I miss that!

Haa, fuck's sake. The GPU guys were a real fuckin' thing, man.

@jae @p @jeremiah Last time I was there some boomer was yelling at this poor kid because he didn't understand that he had to format an external drive before using it with his laptop.

@p @jae @jeremiah I love how they'll yell at someone demanding they fix something instead of listening for 10 seconds and trying to understand the issue.

@ins0mniak @jae @jeremiah The essence of the boomer is "Somebody should fix this".

@p @jae @jeremiah I kind of like watching them get mad...like if you just go "dude....shut the fuck up"
It blows their minds, they have no idea what to do so they either yell more or stare at you with their yap hanging open.

This approach does not work if I attempt it on an entire city unless I become giant.

Dude said they're there every day. Every day! "I told them we don't have any and aren't ordering any but they keep showing up."

quality > quantity. every. fucking. day.

it happens every gpu or cpu release. or if one of those coincide with a global shortage. currently its both.
same line happened when pi5 dropped. only the dudes were all skinny or dadbods. the homeassistant crowd.

I mean if I am tryna run around a city and see what's in the city and if the city is amenable to my people, I gotta scale up.

Daaaang. Yeah, I just went to the pilocator site and they said Digikey and I was like "Holy fuck, I fuckin' love Digikey!" The site is hardcore 2002, so much shit bought on there with the company card in years past. Never got to order from the higher pricing tiers, sadly.
