@botvolution it's gone up a little in the last almost-four years since I bought it. Now $35.

@botvolution BTW, 80gb Travelstar. Vintage!

@botvolution oh, yeah! I"ve bought several, they're always useful. I think this one was $19 on Amazon, does both sizes of IDE and can also do SATA (on the other side). USB-A cord and its own power supply!

Several similar ones out there.

@botvolution it's OK, they got Al Capone on tax evasion.

@hellomiakoda worse than that is DOWNLOAD OUR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAPP!!!

FUCK YOUR APP.

I will use my damn browser AND leave my adblocker on, thanks.

I have a fabulous old 1970s Panasonic multiband AM/FM/shortwave radio that works great. It has a range of about 1200 miles in the US on summer nights.

IHeartRadio and Audacy has shit up terrestrial AND internet radio and need to be beheaded.

@hellomiakoda years ago I briefly knew an opera singer/massage therapist from the midwest whose online name was "miakoda." You're probably not her, but the name caught my attention.

If you ARE her...

@botvolution SDF is doubtless doing unannounced, undocumented "maintenance."

I like it when asshole agencies that shouldn't exist run out of money. All those new recruits will regret it when they don't get paid.

@botvolution when we moved, this house initially had a largely-unused Sears Kenmore oven so ridiculously tiny I doubt they ever made a Thanksgiving turkey in it (or anything else). No way it'd fit standard rackmount. I'd have been lucky to fit two Mac minis and a car stereo in it.

@dalias how bout we buy them a baseball bat, so they can go to wherever instance is harassing them and beat the shit out of their server?

@botvolution ICE must have this idea that nobody overseas has any idea what they've been doing.

I hope the Italian authorities reminded ICE they have basically zero authority there. Even over US athletes.

@doragasu never considered one before, but $33? One of their low-end ones will arrive tonight. I'll see how it is when working on watches.

@botvolution dry some and grind them, seeds and all.

@raganwald naw, walk the fuck out. What, is the popcorn kid gonna stop you?

@botvolution defending against all the injury lawsuits and sweeping up the broken plastic.

@botvolution "exciting news about your employee health plan!"

No, what'd you stop covering now and how much more is it?

@botvolution kinda like diner menus that contain the phrase "our unique spin on..."

That means, "we figured out a way to fuck up a hot turkey sandwich."

@botvolution good to know you guys have ridiculous right-wing assholes over there too, but few have her amazingly-large nose. She is a political cartoonist's dream.

How does somebody's brain get that fucked up in just 45 years?

@botvolution not so sure... without orangeboy to pardon them, I have a feeling non-orange brains and self-interests will start steering things back toward the law.

Cops will keepin coppin' of course, since they got into coppin' mostly to tell other people what to do and act out psedomilitary fetishes, but money and ostracism can be remarkably effective.

@botvolution does it have the same stupid jingle?

They really should stop pandering to people's addiction to flat pieces of torn-up trees.

And pizza places should put an actual text menu on their website, not a fucking PDF of it.
