@ifixcoinops I recently learned that a whole bunch - hundreds to maybe thousands - of those "wooden castle" playgrounds from the 70s were the work of (mostly) one guy, Bob Leathers. He'd travel to different cities, spend a bit of time "consulting" with kids to figure out what they wanted in a playground, then in a four day blitz of community volunteer labor and donated materials they'd build a playground from scratch. His work is all over the US and Gen X / elder Millennials probably played on one of his creations. Each one was a real community effort and personalized to the kids' wishes.
As they had an estimated 25 year lifespan, many have been bulldozed and replaced with bright metal painted safer equipment. Some still remain in active use though, or have gotten a refurb by the community!
(Excerpts from a 1980 NYT article about his constructions)
@mrman That was was my reasoning behind getting my first 9mm years ago. Much cheaper to shoot and practice.
Back in 1909 two trains collided head-on near the Air Force Academy.

@mary patched one of our old leather chairs. If you know, you know.
@DotardTed Let's be honest, that's a fight you can't win. Either you hurt grandpa and you're a monster or you get beaten by him and you're a wuss. Exactly the kind of move I'll make if I make it to 86.😎
@Russ Didn't you pull the rebar out of this guy's skull like King Arthur and Excalibur?

@atyh I enjoyed the book and the first movie. Watched the second and couldn't make it through the third. It deserved a better adaptation..
@atyh Looks good, happy anniversary!

Jen, came in to see what incredible things the engineers and artists had come up with. Everyone was staring at a television set hooked up to a development box for the Sony Playstation. There, on the screen, against a single-color background, was a black triangle.

Cruising with the windows down on a cool summer night with the pups and jamming some good tunes.
@Sophistifunk Thought you meant to write Cialis for a second, then it got weird.
Fun with XMPP. Agh, OMEMO implementations don’t always work across clients. It has to do with the byte length of the initialization vector for AES which should be 12. A few folks use 16 and it throws a wrench in things. Old problem, but at least I know why now.
@atyh Just made some hibiscus tea tonight.
This is the day that the Lord has made, let us muck around and be glad in it!
@atyh It totally did! ZFS resilver to catch up, then scrub...no errors. That is amazing! We get some serious solar radiation because a soda can from about the same time period looks like plain aluminum.
Found a USB stick that I dropped in my field around 4 years ago…no way it works after all the sun, rain, and snow?
