    Really hoping prices for the Raspberry Pi 4 go back to normal soon, wanna get one for my birthday to use as a little emulation box but I don't wanna have to pay inflated prices from sellers on Amazon for the board itself. MSRP is $75 for the 8 GB model, I ain't paying nearly $200 for that.

    @Gerontius Yeah I think I could technically get by with the 1 GB RAM version, but I think I'd prefer to wait for the chance to get one with slightly more RAM for some extra headroom at MSRP. Thanks for the offer though.

    No worries! I bought mine to build a word-processor with using the frame from a scrapped 1924 Remington No. 12 typewriter. That plan was ruined when I had to move in a hurry & could not pack the typewriter parts--I saved the parts I could re-use on good typewriters. Best of luck on your project; it seems like all the fun maker-style products are going up in price since the 2020 pandemic.

    Oh yeah definitely. Luckily it seems places do get them in at MSRP, you just gotta grab one when they do otherwise they'll sell out pretty quick and you might have to wait a while longer for them to come back in stock.

    I weigh 180 lbs which means I just need to lose two more pounds and I'll no longer be considered overweight for my height.

    @Rodafina I'm imagining a vending machine stuffed with fruit inside a bar. I'm hoping it's kept cool and the fruit is regularly switched out. two pounds does seem quite expensive for a banana however...

    @Rodafina "fruit machine" is British English for a "slot machine" - fruit being a reference to the classic lemon / cherry / orange etc. used on the wheels.

    Slot machines are everywhere in the UK. Even highway rest stops, and there isn't anything really stopping a kid from playing one since they're often unsupervised.

    So no squished bananas, I guess.

    Thank you, @VictorR. Learned something new.

    I found the other plugs of my RCA cable for my VCR/DVD combo unit. Well 'found', of course the composite video plug and right audio plug were right next to the left audio plug, they just got stuck behind some other cables so I only saw the one plug lol.

    When I was taking out my earbuds at the grocery store earlier today, one of my earbud tips fell out and I lost it and that was terrible because I needed to use my earbuds because of my sensory issues when it comes to noise. Had to resort to covering up my ears with my hands instead. :(

    (I have spare earbud tips at home, but I couldn't just head home to get a spare and then head back to the store)

    Went to Best Buy but sadly I think it's the DC in that's the problem on my laptop, need to get that fixed...I could replace it myself but I also have a couple other issues that need fixed

    nooooo :( I hope you are able to get a new charger for your laptop Viola.
    Princess Viola
    Princess Viola
    Yeah me too I have to go all the way to Best Buy for one

    It's always the worst when those break since the chargers are all different and not one standard type. I hope you're able to find a replacement for a good price tomorrow!

    internet and cable went out a bit before i went to sleep last night, still down now. they claim it'll be fixed by 11am, i don't believe them one bit.

    When I was a kid, I had two VCRs in my bedroom (for some reason) and at some point, we got rid of one of them...or so I thought because yesterday I went into the living room and it was just underneath the living room TV on top of the VCR/DVD combo unit we got under near.

    Huh.

    I remember having two VCRs in the living room back in the '80s and '90s. That was fun before Macrovision became a thing.

    If money was no object, I'd seriously love to take a super-long cross-country train. I think that'd be nice.

    Like Miss Marple? :-) I would love to go on a super long drive in my favourite car. If I won the lottery that's what I would do. I'd have to take my cat with me of course and he does look super cute in his little harness I got for him :-) So he doesn't dash off if he sees something that confuses him :-)

    I spent the other weekend touring downtown Charlotte NC with my girlfriend on the light rail line. If that was good I can only imagine how cool a long-distance mainline trip would be. Worthwhile goals @Princess Viola - -

    Trains are so fun to travel on.

    I go to Walmart this morning and buy a bunch of groceries and now...now...I can't decide what to have for dinner! (In my defense, I have this weird thing where I don't like to eat food I buy at the store the same day I buy it, with certain exceptions like if I buy a sub from Publix)

    I live in Publix land too. This state doesn't have many choices but Aldi's has opened up down from me.
