That song was literally the soundtrack of my life as a rowdy teenager growing up half in the hills of upstate NY and half in the streets of Pittsburgh.
Also why I gave up beer. It gave me headaches & made me a asshole drunk; started fights, more often than not got the shit kicked outta me and/or wound up in the drunk tank looking like something out of Mad Max.

Actually, the whole damned album...
The best song I know that describes my youth is from the Arctic Monkeys "Riot Van". It perfectly describes a standard weekend night in inner city Dublin (or many northern UK cties) at the time. Additionally, their song "Mardy Bum" describes my life since then

I prefer the hard copy manuals myself. I’ve had too many bad scans over the years to trust that as the only source of info. Usually you only find out it’s a bad scan right in the middle of a problem solving session.
We have mauritron here who are the equivalent and some of their scans are just the worst.
yeah
I just think better on paper...I guess I am a product of a bygone age...
I’m not that old
Soooo did some cupboard clean out. Found 11 Meanwell switching power supplies ranging 5 to 24 volts in various sizes
. I have way too much shite
Huh... TIL about green-lipped mussel homeopathy: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-830/new-zealand-green-lipped-mussel
Appears to be mostly some small amount of Omega3 and a whole lot of wank.

But wait; it also comes in a powder! Now how much would you pay...?
Grampa swore by them for his arthritis however today we have a wider range of pain hiding drugs.
Well at least with the mussels you're not stoned or pissed all the time.
I was waiting for that
Arguably it’s the 4xx I’m done with (apart from the 4x3). So no more 465/475 derivatives.
Ah. There's no such thing as a
true Tek scope syndrome.
I have been up most of the night because 'reasons' but I flicked on the Espresso machine a while ago, luckily there is no webcams so no one need look at my bloodshot eyes.
Hope nutthing terribly bad Bean.

me, too. every time i get a PDF of a book i am actually reading, i end up buying a hard copy. i write in them, i highlight, i use stickies and i've never figured out a good way to do that with an e-book; the tools availabe generally suck. i pretty much have given up the notion that buying artek scans is anything other than a prelude to going to kinkos and making proper manuals with big schematics. and yes, i have a big collection of databooks even though i also have data sheet scans for most of the parts in my inventory.
i also prefer writing to typing. almost all of my figuring is on paper, with a fine point pen. a product of another age, i guess.
i do have an ebook reader and i do use it to read non-technical stuff because it is really handy to have something with two hundred books on it when one is spending hours or days in transit.

Just part of the battle sometimes.
It's TEA Time!

I guess I should really look into this "dischord" thing, I assume there is an application you need to install like teamspeak or ventrillo?
maybe next week
