        DIY is a fine line to walk. It's tough when you want to build ALL the things.

        I've had several Blurays fall victim to this rot, making them glitch during playback and make rips fail. I just bought a new harddrive so I can start ripping ISOs in case it continues with the rest of mine.

      It's good to be friends with a butcher. I got a free industrial water bath temperature regulator. Time for sous vide.

        Not too big. I guess the size of a jar or pickles. It's an outboard controller that you attach to an aquarium or some large tub filled with water so no real limit of size for food.

        Yeah, that touch bar seems potentially useful and potentially shitty at the same time. Old(er) processors are fine, though. I fully support Apple's rigorous device qualification standards. What I'm still waiting for is a new Mac Pro though.

        @cizx what do you mean newer processors? Im pretty sure Kaby Lake chips arent shipping in volume or at all for the laptop chips theyre using...
