Could this be a panametric fan?

The Sony Mavica FD91 was the first digital camera I ever owned! I used it the last couple years of high school and during a short homestay in Japan. You could pick up a giant box of 3.5" floppies for cheap, and as long as you fed it a stead supply of batteries it worked pretty well.

Here are some photos I took that are at, I believe, the highest quality setting (1024 x 768 and about 170kb each). Though I think Lemmy shows them shrunk down in the feed, if you open the image in a new tab you can see the full resolution.

Zoomed in.

And a closeup.

The 14x optical zoom was pretty amazing back then.

It’s the same soap and water either way, right? What about sex toys? Am I supposed to wash those in the toilet or something?

I feel like even AI will be able to emulate this kind of speech, but the upside is people with dementia won’t feel so alienated anymore.

A similar machine also plays a role in the 1997 movie Contact.

Slip them into some ziplock baggies and bury them inside the mass of leaves clogging my gutters and downspouts.

Darn… I absolutely would have fallen for that trick, thinking I was being proactive in my security practices. I guess there will always be another vector to attack from.

Wouldn’t the largest number be all nines?

I have been experimenting with bath bombs and other related products and have found a great product from Japan: Bub bath tablets

They are way cheaper than bombs and are just as fragrant. There is a variety pack that has sandalwood, lavender, ginger/bergamot, and eucalyptus tabs.

Am I a psychopath for preferring to use a pen, even if it means I have to cross things out every now and then?
