I know it’s not what you’re hoping to do, but try mounting your motherboard and components on a decent piece of wood and hang it on the wall. No worries about trying to vent and cool a drawer, or cutting into a nice old Steelcase desk. I did this years ago, screwed everything onto plywood and hung it on the workshop wall. Looks kinda cool. Works just fine, can dust it off with the air compressor when needed. If you do mod the desk, good luck and hope it works well. I understand having an idea and really wanting to make it happen.

Haven’t heard of this one yet, they’ve got downloads for Linux, will have to try it out. Thanks!

Solid Edge is what had me keeping a Win10 instance for a while, but finally gave up on it after the OS kept corrupting itself. Started learning Onshape instead, which is web based and works under Linux. It’s a passable replacement for doing basic 3d sketches.

Oh, de oh de oh!

I saw that article a while back, and thought the lasers would be handy on cameras. You can buy 1064nm IR spotting lasers but they are rather expensive. A 1 watt model will be about $1000.

They were definitely great when I sent them a used ProAm I had bought. Supposed to convert it over to a ProLight version, but I think they sent me a pretty much new marker, didn’t recognize any “old” parts on it. Haven’t played in years, but still have it stored away.

Have a couple Sceptre monitors around the house, about 10 years now. They’re great, no smart garbage installed. Don’t know of another brand making something similar.

I did that for a few years at a former job, was terrific! Sunday through Wednesday. Had two days during the week for appointments and getting to places only open “banking hours”. Biggest hitch was Sundays, family always wanted to do get-togethers and I had to use vacation days, or just miss out.

That’s what I switched to about 2 months after getting my Ender 3 S1 Pro. Klipper running from a RPi, lets me push sliced files out over WiFi to the printer right from Orca. So much better than dealing with SD cards.

Those flat tops are great, got one last year. Love doing breakfast on it. Can grill up eggs, pancakes, potatoes, or just do 3lbs of bacon all at once.

If you live somewhere with hard water, replace the copper with pex. The minerals eat away the pipes. We had a home in a hard water area once, sooo many pinhole leaks over time, and water heaters had really short life spans. If your water doesn’t require a softener, then keep the copper. If there’s a chance the pipes were exposed to freezing conditions at all in the past, look for bulges in the copper which will indicate weakened lines that should be replaced.

While it came out 22 years ago, State of the Union still feels like it could have been written for now.

That was truly awful. Owner afflicted by some ancient mummy curse?

Perfect answer, no need for me to scroll further.

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?

Waitress: Well, there’s spam egg sausage and spam, that’s not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don’t want ANY spam!

Man: Why can’t she have egg bacon spam and sausage?

Wife: THAT’S got spam in it!

Man: Hasn’t got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

I’ll have the spam, spam, eggs, and spam!

I just started looking at that this afternoon. May host my own on the game server I’m already running. Like that there are clients for Linux as well as Windows and Mac. My friend doing cross-play with his PS5 will probably have to link in using his phone though.

I did this, and installed the old drive into a USB adapter so I could easily pull any documents I may want to access. The Linux install will mount a NTFS drive, so worked great for that.

For the OP, while you CAN have the PC boot up to the Windows drive plugged into USB, I would not recommend doing it more than a couple times. Windows seems to hate this; I’ve had two installations of Win10 Pro eat itself and become unbootable, could not be repaired. The files were still accessible through Linux though so was able to make copies.

The boy and his father were released, but now DHS is pursuing an expedited deportation for the family.

I use “Windy” in the US. They have over 50 different map overlays.
