See, that's what I mean by accomplishment.
i can remember the first 45 i ever bought. it was anerican pie. half the song was on the b side.
had to also buy the little plastic disk for the middle to load it on the 33 spindle.
Complaint: I decided to order a new CPU fan, but unlike the olden days, you apparently can't just buy a 80mm case fan to stick on top of the heatsink, noooo, you've got to buy a complete new heatsink/fan combination with 4 wires.
I measured and the fan is some oddball size that I couldn't find in the catalogs. But the situation's not too bad, I picked up a proper cooler system for $20. Whereas a modern decent fan alone would have been $15 anyway. It just means that I'll have to deal with removing the old heatsink and applying new thermal compound (which I already have). Also, I did not order a new case fan. I think I have one in my boxes of scavanged parts. So, I'll just wait for the existing one to act like it's dying.

I don't know. I don't talk to her. I just push the microphone icon and talk directly to Google. Almost as good as whats-her-name. But she's probably listening anyway. I hope she's not offended with my language when the news is on.

The Hmmm, Interesting, department: I just found out that I haven't gotten my sink traps cleared out by the landlord in the last 3 months because he's been sick with COVID-19 for the last 3 months.
The Well That Wasn't It, department: Both my kitchen sink and bathroom sink water drainage has been very slow, but the bathtub drain was fixed by him about 3 and half months ago, and drains like a champ. But today the landlord came with plumbing tools in hand and removed the trap from bathroom sink and found it clear. The bathtub drain, is on the same pipe but after the kitchen and sink so the problem must be in the 4 feet between the bathroom sink and bathtub. He's down in the basement now trying to figure out the pipes and what to do about it. But at least if the blockage is found, then it should fix both the kitchen and bathroom sinks simultaneously.
Complaint: there's an old board game I've been missing and I finally found someone who had made a conversion of it for Tabletop Simulator. So I plunked down $9.99 to buy Tabletop Simulator. I discovered that Tabletop Simulator isn't really a way to computerize board games; it's literally a simulation of a tabletop. A physics engine for picking up pieces, rolling dice, flipping the table over when you get mad. No, I don't want to play this game because I miss placing cardboard tokens on a board; I want to play the game because of its subject matter. After 30 minutes I asked for a refund and found someone on eBay selling the board game, More expensive (with shipping costs), less portable than a computer game, but it's a whole lot easier to look at a card and place a cardboard token on a board in real life than in a simulation, and it doesn't distract from the content of the game.
I remember a lot of old board games, Monopoly, Clue, Chutes & Ladders, Parchisi, etc. but the one I liked the most was when I was about 8 (back in the dark ages of the mid-'50s) was called "Taxi". I only ever saw one copy of it. Never saw it in the stores. Only ever played it at my cousin's house. You had a fold out board, with various "roads" on it, and various stops along the way and the taxi depot. The object of the game was to roll the dice and progress along the roads hoping to stop at a place that had a "passenger" waiting to be picked up. Your game piece was a little (and I mean little, perhaps a smidgen bigger than a half inch) metal car (tells you how old this game is) with a spike coming out of the top of the car. The "passengers" were tiny little plastic donuts of various colors that you would drop onto the car spikes to pick up your passenger. I forget what the colors meant but I seem to remember them as different point multipliers. (kids were expected to do math in their head back then), and the goal was to get back to the depot to unload your passengers and claim your points. There were ways to be delayed or to have to take detours so being ahead of the pack was no guarantee you'd get back to the depot first. I think you could carry 3 or 4 passengers, so it was advantageous to get the bigger point passengers.
This game would be declared dangerous for toddlers nowdays, eyes poked out by the passenger spike on the car, or the passengers getting eaten by curious mouths. But I had much fun with that game and would always run to where it was stored when I visited my cousin's home and get them to play a game with me.
I've never even seen any information about this game. My cousins were 5 years older than me so it may have been released in the late '40s or very early '50s. Only ever saw that one copy of it.
Google is my friend: Here's a 1979 version of "Taxi". https://www.vintage-playtime.com/vintage_board_games/prod_2564648-Taxi-Board-Game.html
My memory of exactly how the game worked may be fuzzy, but I remember the cars with the spikes and the little donut passengers. It was, after all, 63 years ago.

In the UK they call it "Snakes & <something>", I think.
"Snakes and Ladders". and in the US it's "Chutes and Ladders". "Shoots and Ladders" is a very different kind of game. Two kinds, actually -- the gardening one is much safer than the firearms one.
my bad Chutes and Ladders
We played Monopoly, "Trouble!", The Game of Life, Pick Up Stix, and tons of card games. We also had one called "Mille Bournes", which was a French driving/racing card game, if I remember correctly.
We have that card game, Milles Bournes. It's increvable!
(players will get the pun)

It's "Mille Bornes", not Bournes. It is French for "a thousand milestones" (as in the distance markers we have along roads here)
