The nifty cutaway model of the U.S.S. Enterprise from Diamond Select Toys and Dragon Models that hit the market about ten years ago. I regret not getting one now.
Record from 1908! This is the oldest musical buddy I own. For the longest, longest time, I didn’t play it because I was baffled at how thick it was (about double the thickness of my records from the 1920s). I wanted to be overly careful and research whether this fat dinner plate needed special accommodations that my 1920s-1950s records didn’t. After watching videos of others playing these records on the same equipment I had, I took the plunge and played it for the first time today. Majorly cool.
@enriquemzn262 that’s hilarious and very very clever. If he markets that, I’d buy one. We only have seasonal hummingbirds, but they’re here from spring until late autumn. It’d get some use for sure.
I made this Stargate cake this week that I'm proud of, thought y'all might enjoy it as well 😁
With fondant I formed a DHD, Stargate, staff weapon and zat gun
Then I painted that with black food coloring, edible silver spray paint on top.
Afterwards I added the orange for the lights and purple for the staff weapon. And added details with a black sugar paste tube for decorative writing on baked goods.
I then made a banana chocolate cake, spread melted chocolate on top. After it cooled off a bit I placed my artifacts on top and sprinkled some "dirt like" sugar crystals in gold and black. After the chocolate had become solid again I covered everything with cookie crumbs as sand.
Then the fun part: I gave it to two friends of mine as a birthday gift and they had to excavate the Stargate and Goa'uld artifacts.
Arguably the first social media in existence at a time when only hobbyists owned a computer, Community Memory Terminals were set up in public places in 1973 with a telephone-modem connection. The “bulletin board” metaphor is often overused when it comes to electronic media, but it is very apt here, functioning as a digital version of a local bulletin board, where anyone could add notices, requests for help, help wanted, and so on, and through the modem, were visible from any terminal.
