Turns out this ancient web ring for DIY electronics is still online

Just a heads up about the Comic Sans thing, it actually came out in 1994 so it totally could have been on a 1996 site. Those old sites loved it.

Shoutout to the tech support guy who'd never opened a machine

Yeah, that scripted support is so frustrating. I've met a few field engineers who did help write the guides, but the tech changes so fast their fixes are outdated in a year. You end up with a chart pointing to the most expensive part by default.

Misread a signal from a temp worker last week

Totally! @the_shane gets it... always check those signals first.

Vent: I always passed on black and white shots until a wet sidewalk changed my view

Ever try seeing a rain-streaked window or morning fog in just black and white? For me, taking color away does something special. It makes you look at the shapes and the light in a totally different way. A face in shadow becomes more about the lines and feeling, not skin tone. Don't you find that stripping it back sometimes shows a deeper kind of feeling?

TIL conspiracy debates have lost their playful edge from my youth.

Remember when flat earth was just dumb stuff you'd argue about after a few beers? Someone would say satellites aren't real and we'd all laugh. Now you see these hour long angry documentaries and people getting banned from family groups for bringing it up. It turned into a whole identity thing where you have to pick a side and fight.
