Sony have sold more cameras than Nikon and Cannon put together this year.
But Apple have probably sold more! My iPhone has three!

But Apple have probably sold more! My iPhone has three!
A decade ago I sold all my original comic art to help my sisters. The only pages I regret selling were those from the 2006 Moon Knight arc The Bottom.
Last month, a creative team nailed Moon Knight with a 10 page story that was so good, I wanted to own a page. Even more so that MK was unmasked and doing research in the NY Public Library (I work a block away).
It was very cheap, so I decided to buy it for my good deeds (Helping mom and one sis).
I should have it by June or so. It’s coming from the artist.

I pleased with the maestro.
[doublepost=1557596008][/doublepost]Thursday I had the house a/c serviced and priced replacement of the hot water heater and softener. After sleeping on it I texted them Friday morning at 7:30 am that I wanted to move forward.
They texted back fifteen minutes later saying they’d be on-site in three hours. I was like, wow. That was as painless as it comes.

Haven't seen that before. I saw the KD8000 at Williams and Sonoma years and years ago but I'd already picked up a few digital scales then. I bought it because I kept reading posts on various culinary sites about it and found out it was almost the "standard" scale in many professional kitchens. Getting it with the adapter set me back extra, but it's easier than batteries, IMO.
I picked up a few Oxo scales because I like their products for kitchen use. I picked up the 22 lb, I think it was, scale. Also managed to find a brand new legacy 11 lb scale and ordered three of them. I've tried out the new one in stores before, but I find it isn't very good and the lack of fractions is awful. I don't know what they were thinking by offering decimal points. For most liquids I know the densities of, they're very accurate compared to a measuring cup that does volume.
The KD8000 should make home canning simpler for us now. It's fairly hyper sensitive without being wrong when it comes to adding a few grams of anything in say a large ceramic bowl that may be a hefty 4 lb and with 450 grams of flour inside it alongside several fluid ounces of water or whatever. That is super cool to me as silly as that sounds.
I think a scale is very useful if you're baking something and require a specific weight of say eggs rather than a total egg count. I mean we've all bought eggs that were labeled as the largest grade but are about 47 g once cracked instead of being around 60-65 g. Really messes up a recipe.
In my own experience over a few decades of cooking and learning certain things, it's that even 30 g difference of total egg can easily make a cake or cookie work or be a crumbly mess or very thick, for the former, and not rise properly.
The only kitchen tools we seem to go through are ice cream scoops for cookie use and veg peelers. The latter never lasts.
Traditional ice cream scoops are flimsy crap. I prefer to use a smooth scoop for ice cream, but those are terrible for uniform cookies. My method for years now has been recording the empty weight of the intended chilling bowl for the dough and subtracting that from the total weight at the end, and then dividing up how many cookies I want at a specific weight and scale them one at a time. Like bread dough balls.
I can freeze them, vacuum pack them and stick them in the chest freezer in the garage to use within a few months. Very fun to put a few in the grill outside and have them done within minutes.

That is really cool, and thanks for sharing.
(Modern) Thai-style toilets solve that without requiring power. You just have to be willing to do more than push a button and hum.But, but ... your hands don't get dirty
Just ordered a Fujitsu S1300i portable document scanner to use with my ancient iMac (2010).
I still have a perfectly functioning Fujitsu desktop scanner, but the company stopped supporting it after El Capitan, and I’m running High Sierra. I make it work by running EC in a virtual machine, but frankly am tired of the hassle. Besides, this model takes up less space on my home office desk than the desktop version.
Now I have to figure out what to do with the old one.

Appreciate the suggestion, but the new one arrives today. I’ll hopefully sell the old one.

In honor of our most recent power outage --caused by yet more rain taking yet another tree down on power lines somewhere in the area-- I decided to invest in an extra SUAOKI camping lantern, rechargeable by crank/USB. I love these, they are inexpensive and fit in the space of half a coffee mug when not in use, can be used "as is" for a flashlight or pulled out to become a camping lantern with accordion-style lampshade, sits on a table or can turn it upside down and hang it up from a built-in plastic loop. Anyway now I have three of them for camping out in my own darn house when the power goes out yet again.
Excuse me but what is it?!
EDIT: Nevermind i googled it, a silencer
Not familiar with stuff like that

I'll let you know in a few days when it all gets here. The receiver, CD player and speakers should arrive tomorrow - maybe.
I was only joking. It was $15 at Total Wine and More.
