I will link to a buffer from harbor freight, and I don't usually recommend tools from there if they are important or you require a certain quality, but this 6" buffer seems to be holding up well over the years. With this cheap buffer from h.f. I rescued a ton of dvd's for netflix. I would get them and they would be so scratched my player would have issues. So I would take the dvd out to the shop and give it a once over with the buffer. You have to pay attention to the direction the buffer is spinning and only polish/buff from the center out on the disc, only use a fine polishing compound at the start, and never let the dvd sit in one spot on the buffer or it will do some real damage to it. But I was very successful getting a lot of dvd's repaired back to a working state with this method. It takes time, and you have be patient, but you can buff them out pretty nicely. Might save the library some money.

Can we pick a random city, and throw two rocks? Whoever they hit, we wake them up, dust them off and let them know they are the new presidential candidates. I am confident we will have a much better selection than the current.

I'll take two bowls of split pleas.

My son picked up a refurbished Ipad mini that we were going to use as a screen for our quadcopters. Well, you can't load any software on it so it's just a worthless piece of shit. Way to go apple.

I just got an email about a new power supply board for the rpi5 - PD Power Extension Board for Raspberry Pi 5. It's on their pihut website and is $20. Has multiple input types.

Yup, people have proven time and time again that they are willing to give up privacy for something simple like convenience. So as tech progresses so will the deterioration of any privacy we may have left.

Same. My unplayed list of games is what I plan on doing when I retire. When I can sit down and concentrate on something without someone pinging me on teams...

Well, I just bought a new motorcycle. Going to pick it up later and do some riding. That makes things worth living.

How hard was it to get off the avocado toast?

Here's the way I look at it. This is your life and you get to play it out as you please. It's really none of my business to begin with, and I am not really sure how this would come up in casual conversation, so I am hoping to most people it's just not even a topic. I have kids, I have friends that have kids, and even with that basic amount of knowledge we don't sit around chatting about things like that. Don't overthink this, and keep in mind that you make your own decisions. Just because you don't have kids doesn't mean anything either. I have friends with no kids, and gotta say, sometimes I am a little envious. Wouldn't change anything, but it's nothing to feel bad about. Lighten up on yourself and just do what you want to do.

Did some LLM put together minor and report and decide it was a minority report?

The Round Rock Library is pretty amazing, and any Texas resident can get a card free and immediately check out books and media. There's no charge to get a card either, you just have to show up in person, which you were going to do anyway if you planned on checking out books.

A major highlight in my opinion is returning the books/movies and watching them run up the conveyor belt and get sorted... Guess I am just a big kid.

Dear Austin,

The Circuit of the Americas has now been open for 10 years. I distinctly recall a number of politicians yakking on and on about how they were going to upgrade the infrastructure around the track when they were begging for money to get the facility built. Well, it's been 10 years and the people living there are still dealing with the same shitty ass roads that were there before, and the same shitty ass traffic. Only I am guessing now, that when an event is in town, they have to hunker down like it's a winter storm. What happened? Is it too much for the place to do what they said they would do, and get some better roads going in and out. And before it gets said, I mean roads that us plebs have to take, not the toll road. It's complete bullshit that it has been a decade and I am still having to deal with the same horrific traffic situation to get to the track. I truly feel sorry for people who have to live near there. Damnit Austin, we can really do better. But I guess the people who can get shit done are just helicoptered in so they don't have a clue, and they are just too busy counting money.
