Just finished it. What an amazing show. Really captured the feel of the games. The main character Lucy was well acted and the Ghoul and his back story was perfect. I'm upset there were only 8 episodes. ...

Isla is more laid back and is my favorite place in Mexico. Cancun you can get some great deals on hotels and AIs. Look up Sandos is pretty cheap and is located in a walkable part of cancun. You can get to Isla quickly if you hire a car service. Carm is $100 both ways including fer...

Puffy tacos are worth trying. You have to do Riverwalk even though it's a tourist trap. The Mercado is an interesting place to get Mexican junk. The sky needle gives great views. There is a cool cave system nearby. And the world's best Waterpark is 45 minute drive north. ...

So I'm still in the hospital. On day 9. They keep coming up with new problems. Now my oxygen levels are low. I've done 7 dialysis treatments. Then I start at the clinic next week. It's not that bad. But I hope to get a transplant before the end of the year. ...

re: Kit to learn soldering? Motors? Simple boards?

Posted by Napoleon on 4/13/24 at 7:21 am

Practice on old electronics. Practice taking relays off and replacing them. Get a solder iron and a solder syringe. And some Flux and solder. Good Flux helps a lot. These two items are important for me in the field. [img]https://i.ibb.co/w0VzM8N/Screenshot-20240413-071859-...

100% this is my fault. I had plenty of warnings of my blood pressure. But the doctors still can't explain why my creatinine and bun levels are so crazy. Yes hypertension led here but like the doctor said. I look like a healthy 40 year old. I've been dieting and eating good. But the...

I guess I'm worried about how much is going to impact my life to have to hook up to a machine. If it were only a couple of times a week no big deal. But 3 hours every day sounds shitty. I like to travel a lot. I had a white water rafting trip in Colorado planned and a Mexican bea...

I've found I can swim. Just no more swimming in the lake. In a chlorinated pool I'm on a long as I cover everything. But the doctor said no more swimming in the lake. Which I did often even knowing the lake is polluted. I just sold my sailboat so I'm not going out on the lake all the time...
