Consumed-to-survive me one of them fancy-pants Ikea electric adjustable desks a few months back, dear worst-reader. And don't you know, it's a pretty half-decent, fairly useable thing--if you need/should stand while worst-writing. Luckily for worst-moi, as you can see in the pic above, the smallest version of the desk fits perfectly into the only remaining …
Please, No More Hair Trimmers And No More Examples Of #Americant Losing Its $hit
Am I on my last hair trimmer, dear worst-reader? At least I hope I'm on my last one. It's a thing I'm going through right now, don't you know, in this--the $hit$how that is consume-to-survive. The idear is the following: Pay a little bit more now in the hopes that--if there is such a thing …

Pseudo-Review: Weber Genesis E330 Five Years And Counting
Subtitle: How I got my first brisket on At last count, dear worst-reader, I think my Weber Grill is five years old. It might be six or even six and half but it's definitely not seven or even four. Go figure, I lost the purchase receipt. It is said that these über expensive grills are …

Pseudo-Review: DietPi And RockPro64
Subtitle: Avoiding monolithic-monopoly personal computing on the cheap? Follow-up is here. Note on text: if you want to skip all my worst-writing, just scroll down to the The Pseudo Review. As noted here, I'm not a NAS fan. The problem with not being a NAS fan is that one may still require some form …
Pseudo-Review- Birkenstock And The Happy Foot
Note on the pics. The Birkenstock shoe (left foot) is still in what I consider to be its break-in period. They're only about ten days old. Note the suede sole footbed insert. The sandal (right foot) is broke-in and is probably four months old. The only issue I'm facing with the sandals is that I've run out …

How Much You Don’t Know Can Hurt You (Deep Inside) Forever
Disclaimer: This is not a pseudo-review of the movie The Butler and there is only one slight spoiler. My son asked me the other week if I had seen the movie The Butler. I told him I had not. When I asked if he'd seen it, to my surprise he said he had and then …

Pseudo-Review #7- Charger GX At 6,000km, Winter Is Coming
Psuedo-Subtitle: The good, the bad, and not much to report. Here is a tag-link to all my e-bike posts. Let us begin, dear worst-rider, with the truth. The truth is, as of the writing of this worst-post, I'm surpassing 6500km in the next day or three. With that in mind, there is no need to …

Apple v Pi Or How I Slowly Got My Computing Future On
I tried to become a watch-nut once. Not a real watch-nut, mind you. Of course not. A real watch-nut spends lots of money on watches. Heck, I don't even like money. Anywho. A watch-nut knows what a complication is. In fact, that's the only thing that made watches interesting to me. The simpler the complications, …

When Your Tickle Goes Bling Bling And Your Ears Say Ahhh
It took me a while. And it also took one of my micro-SD cards along with various installs, network wiring configs, a new fancy case and fun, fun, pure listening/audio fun. But before any of that, first things first. I'm finally NAS ready and my R-PI with Hifiberry Amp2 is the bomb! The initial install …

Pseudo-Review: Pennies From Heaven Where Cents Make Great Audio
First. The newest Raspberry Pi was kinda hard to get till I happened across it. I'm worst-guessing this is due to limited supply, heavy demand. Some online shops were taking orders of the Pi but then not indicating delivery dates. Second. I bow humbly to #Hifiberry and their new Amp2 and the fact that I …

Pseudo-Review: The Film Collossal Or That Thing In My Substance Abuse That Is Serious Childhood Drama
Warning: spoiler alert! This movie is totally worst-explained. Things I wish I could have written? Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Thornton Wilder's The Ides of March. The movie Collossal. Etc., etc. And by-the-buy, I watched Colossal last night via some stupid streaming service and I was pleasantly surprised. On that note, streaming itself isn't stupid but the …
Julius Caesar Killed With (Bad) Ideas Not Daggers–Just Like My Beloved #Americant
Coincidence? I finally (it's been on my to-do list for a while) started re-reading Thornton Wilder's Ides of March... in March? Actually I started re-reading it the last few days of March and casually finished it at the end of April. Reason? I had put it off long enough--and it was time. For I knew, …

Pseudo-Review #5: R&M Charger GX 4000km
Pseudo-Reviews begin here. It's been a long cold wet winter, dear worst-rider. No. Seriously. The weather has been so dismal the past few months here in the Germania tribe of #eurowasteland that I've barely ridden the R&M. Although I've been living in the old country for well over twenty-five years now, this past winter season has …
Pseudo-Review: The Shape Of Water Not Unlike My Desire Of The Her Of All Fish
Returned from The Homeland last Monday. It was a horrible trip. It was horrible because, of the two weeks I was there, after doing some yard work for my Mom, I contracted a pretty bad skin ailment from poison ivy. In fact, as I worst-write this, two weeks after returning, I'm still itching. (But it …

Pseudo Review: Audio On The Cheap, Refurbised Used Speakers, Raspberry Pi HifiBerry Galore And Happy As A Pig In…
First pseudo-review of this sort of stuff here. Been fiddling around with audio for a few years now. About a decade ago, well into my forties, I made the mistake of purchasing a surround sound system. It was some ginormous thirty-pound, seven channel, only God knows how to setup system and after a few years …
