Repaired some broken solder joints, sanded out the biggest scuffs and polished most of the scratches out of the screen. Oh yeah, and the paint job.

Thanks, it was my first stab at painting something other than a wall.

................your childhood makes me sad.

Your new crt makes me happy!

Emotions are hard.....

I relate to him. My dad always worried that I would mess up the carpet, so I never had anything messy.

If that had been me, I honestly would have taken a shit on the rug, smeared it in, and THEN turned the thermastat way up.

You ruin the carpet. You make your dad clean a mess. AND you touch the thermastat which dads hate.

Hence by filling a room with old computers and TVs so I will never have to go outside again.

..............ok, I'm moving into this room. Reddit loves Nutella. What snack food does Lemmy love, that I should bring?

The comedian in me wants to say cocaine, but lets face it..........Lemmy is a bunch of linux nerds. I HIGHLY doubt cocaine is what would best represent this platform.

..............so what are we thinking? Oreos? I got some potatoe chips in the cabinette.

Garlic bread.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Alright, yeah. I can get behind that.

Nah, cocaine good. Easy cheese and ritz too.
