Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

Vintage. Looks like a type DT, probably dating to the late '50s or so.
Those are pretty cool by themselves, but finding one with a lettered lens still in service is quite a rarity.
Customers may be morons, and I will probably complain about them too, but my body simply cannot handle the kind of physical stress it's being put under.
I took this job with the hope it would help me get in shape. Screw that, I'll just get a gym membership.
I was bored, so I took my CPAP machine apart. Turns out I recognize a bunch of the parts from working on cars! The air flow is dead simple...it's a 3-wire fan (most likely a squirrel-cage blower) routed through what looks for all the world like a mass air flow sensor and a manifold absolute pressure sensor. There's also a thin lead going into the motor housing that I assume is an intake air temperature sensor.
It's a ventilator, more or less. It keeps the airway between the nose and throat open during sleep, for people that have sleep apnea. (There's other variants of CPAP that are used in hospitals for intensive care, but the sleep apnea version is a portable device about the size of a game console.)

oh wait, I know what you're talking about
one of my friends from Australia was complaining about those the other day. Apparently a certain brand is made in Australia, but costs 3x there than it does here in America; so he's having one of us purchase it for him here and ship it Australia.
Australia gets screwed on pricing down there on just about fucking everything, really. Him and his partner pay more for rent on their little apartment in a week than I do in two months on my little house.
One person I used to talk to a lot lived in Australia, and hated Apple even more than most people because on top of the usual markups and shady crap they do, their prices were never anywhere near competitive with PCs at any time there, I guess due to middlemen.

While cleaning for the family’s Thanksgiving gathering, I stumbled across the copy of The Hobbit that I used to carry around when I was 11:
It’s not an especially rare or unique edition, but it has a lot of sentimental value since I basically spent the entire second half of sixth grade glued to it.

A fearsome weapon if ever there was one
ughghghghgh.
Done with work, at my mom's McDonald's, which is closed for the night.
It's frigid in here, apparently they turn off the heater when the customers leave.
If by "tomorrow" you mean "technically tonight", no, but I have work on Friday.
But then I have off all weekend.
But then I work four days in a row. ;-;
I'm trying to get a job at Expedia.

I've been working there for four months, though.
Also the job at Expedia pays better and they'll actually give me benefits. So there's that too.
Thanks.
I also have a decent chance of getting it cuz my mom knows the guy offering the position. So I should be able to get it.
I'll be civil when I quit my current job, but I am not going to miss it.
Myself, I have an edition from...1988 or so?
Pffff my mom's manager just offered me a hot chocolate.
Hai thar
