Dumb? I just bought an IDE PCI card and a 3.5” floppy USB adapter. I have a bunch of old 52x dvd/Bluray drives, some are IDE. Thought about buying a new SATA writer, but the internal 5.25 are well over $100!? Shocking, they used to be $35. Nobody needs them anymore. I only bought the 2.5” adapter to avoid throwing away the drive, I don’t know where my 1.44mb floppies are. So now I have an old PC with IDE optical drives and a 3.5” floppy.

I love being poor and disabled in America.

A working PC would be nice, but I've learned to keep my hopes and dreams nice and low.

Hey, I don't know if that's an option for you but here (GER) we have non-profit organisations which provide PCs and laptops for people who need them. Maybe there's one in you area, too.

Alternatively many IT companies take client PCs back when customer companies get a new generation. Maybe you can save one before they get thrown out vor get one for cheap.

Just my 2 cents. Best of luck!

Adjustable dumbbells.

I work at a place with an onsite gym and am afforded an hour of PT everyday.

I always dreamed of having a fast food pop machine in my house as a kid. It took me about a year of owning a SodaStream as an adult to realize that I do own a slower and smaller scale pop machine and I can make as much pop as I want.

I bought a used rusty school bus. Six years later, at least I know how to weld now. Sort of. I also learned how to survive hitting my head on a large steel C-clamp nine times without suffering any brain damage.

A blank 10cm by 10cm square piece of aluminium. About 2 cm thick

I think I wanted to know how it felt. Like, the vibe of aluminium

I bought an old pachislo machine from a garage sale because ... I'm not real sure, but I have one of those now.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Damn I've always wanted something like this! Jelly

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 3 points 6 days ago

If you manage to find one, there's a modification you can do to it so that it will also take US quarters. Mine seems to have already had that modification before I got it, so I can't say how involved it is, but I don't think it's too hard.

Despite the site screaming left and right that one should not count on a proper keyboard's worth of keycaps at all, much LESS a matching set, and despite years of forum and reddit posts declaring their underwhelming nature, I still bought a 5-pound (2.27kg) sack of random keycaps from Signature Plastics in Washington state.

I just have to know, and I'm kind of unironically looking forward to sorting them like so many Lego bricks. I may even get a few that are useful for my projects.

A convertible that I had have tuned to the max and foiled and re-seated to my liking in my favorite colors. It looked awesome in my head.

Then my pimp-mobile came. And I always was the center of attention. Which I, a very private person, highly disliked but gloriously failed to predict.

Also it was horrible to drive for >30mins because you basically had your nuts on the ground and felt every Lil pebble on the road.

Few months later I sold the car and bought one which basically made me invisible. One that only >70yrs olds drive here 😁

My pregnant wife asked me to get her a fountain Coke Zero from Costco the other day.. I paid for the thing and waited patiently for my empty cup. When I approached the dispenser, I found that all three Coke Zeros were out of order. I had no choice but to fill it with Diet Coke. It was the lowest Costco experience of our lives.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I realise that it's probably a highly technical question, but is there a difference?

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Coke Zero is the formula marketed to males who do not want to be on a "diet".

It's got some extra flavor extracts as far as I can tell; a more robust and "spicy" taste v Diet Coke
