Hot(?) take: Having an "elevator attendant" whose sole purpose is to stare at you and make you uncomfortable makes the elevator unfit for purpose as an accessibility tool.

could check out a different bookstore of this chain... could also just go to barnes and noble

okay I'm not super enthused with this bookstore's selection
whole walls of "mystery" and "travel" and stuff, bot NOTHING on mythology that I can find at all
there's one dinky little "science" shelf for ALL the "science" books.

They do have this though!

Good gravy annotating all that is such a pain... we need something that can like, annotate it for us.

Can't decide whether I'd rather something that just annotates all chinese text, or a thing to annotate our own stuff that we're posting (so that everyone else can see it too).

我們洗了澡（wǒ men xǐ le xǎo），應該吃（yīng gāi chī）

talked motorcycles with a critter all morning and now I'm pondering the Honda XR150L
it's a dual sport, and those are apparently lighter? and it's cheap, like $3500 or something MSRP
(well, "cheap"... but nothing else is that cheap)

sounds barely highway capable but should get us across the bridge I would think, probably (but it sounds way less sketch than the 100cc Navi)

we'd need some extra cash to be able to buy one, so maybe ebike food delivery or something is still the move.

man, Ghost of Tsushima is just so fucking dark.

Our controller cleaning seems to have fucking WORKED!!!

(Lost a case screw though hehe. Internet says it's M2×6mm... not sure if the thread pitch matters?)

so uh, PSA: if you have stick phantom inputs on your PS4 controller, get you these:
- a can of canned "air"
- a can of contact cleaner (we used CRC QD from the hardware store)
- a philips #00 screwdriver

and take it apart like you're going to replace the sticks, pop the stick caps off, and spray "air" and then cleaner into the sticks (aimed at the potentiometers, which are the teal things on the sides, one for each potentiometer) and wiggle 'em around! (We used both. I'm not sure if both were necessary.)

(this may not fix your problem, especially if it's traditional slow drift; ours was not)

(https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DulaShock+4+CUH-ZCT2+Potentiometer(s)+Replacement/168194, minus the actual opening the potentiometer cases, I tried to do that and failed miserably)

And it's not like you can just do like a steam deck and put in a new SSD and reinstall the OS. The drive is encrypted by the PS5, and if the PS5 is dead...

So what does PS5s having SSDs mean for preservation?

Practically nobody's going to do regular SSD swaps on their PS5s, I bet. What happens in 30 years when you take your PS5 out of storage and the SSD's lost everything (because they do that, y'know), not just your games and save data but the OS even?

doing a @kieran :3

Dang the launch model PS4 is just so strikingly beautiful.

We gotta get it plugged back in.

I'm looking at surge protectors and why is everything either <=6 outlets, or non-bar-shaped?? why can't we buy a 9-outlet LONGBAR

UPS power filtering is better than a surge protector, right? Because the power is supposedly shit here, and the irregularities/random surges will supposedly damage stuff.

Think it's worth getting a second UPS (along with a replacement battery for our first) to run our console stuff on? We probably don't need actual battery backup, just the surge protection.
