Market Basket sushi is surprisingly good. Not as good as a restaurant, but still good.

Been testing this GE window heat pump to see if it lives up to its advertising. It's rated for a minimum outside temperature of 5° F, and it's currently 9°F outside and it's putting out 88° F of heat out of its vent and drawing about 635 watts. I am impressed. #heatpump

found this tape while digging through a bunch of old VHS tapes.
Damn, I remember this storm. I was a little kid but I do remember it.
Playing Yahtzee in our kitchen, lit by a kerosene lamp while a kerosene stove provided heat… waiting for the power to eventually come back

Got this enormous Sony KV-30HS420 today with help from @itst3k.bsky.social. Weighs over 150 lbs but it's 1080i HD & has an HDMI port which is weird to see on a CRT TV. The picture is absolutely beautiful in person. So crisp, but so difficult to photograph. Worth over $900 but got it for super cheap.

visited the Museum of Science this afternoon, unknowingly on the opening day of their brand new bathroom facilities, which have got to be the best public bathroom I’ve ever seen. Completely gender neutral, full rooms for each toilet, free feminine products, and hand dryer or paper towels. Amazing!

@techconnectify.bsky.social this is right up your alley and might be worth a video. This is a GE AWGP08WWF and this is one of the VERY few window heat pumps just starting to enter the market, intending to be an affordable and easy to install alternative to mini splits, esp for apartment dwellers.

Why would I install an air conditioner in a basement window in late October? This is no ordinary air conditioner as it actually is also a heat pump, and I am very excited to be able to heat my basement computer room way more efficiently than the resistive heat I used for years...

“hi can i ask you a question?”
(several hours later)
“ok”
(several days later)
“i forgot what the question was”
…. you could’ve just asked it instead of asking me for permission to ask a question lol

Weird electrical device that feels rather out of place, but...
American influence on Saudi Arabia led to them adopting US electrical standards. At one point they decided to align with the rest of Europe and chose British plugs. These were created to allow easy retrofits. Made by Leviton.

Article about how consumers don’t want AI says:
“people don’t want a “smart” appliance; they just want one that works. Does it toast the bread? Good. We did not need an AI to maximize our toast potential.”
There was only one truly smart toaster ever made and it’s from 1949.

What a weekend! Took the Downeaster to Boston and explored the city with a Mass fur. Ended up riding all but 2 of the MBTA lines.

stayed in a fairly recently built Cambria hotel this weekend and I stared at this wallpaper for a while trying to figure out what exactly these round things are.
Anyone have any ideas?
