increasingly, while sitting at restaurants waiting for my food, especially when I’m sitting outside in the cold, I finely sharpen a hatred of the very existence of “to go” orders and the people who place them, places that take them, and the various services and go-betweens who enable them.
everyone else is mad about qr code menus, but I get even madder about this.
when I make a to go order myself, I’m a very special boy and would like my food please and thank you.
only fitting that, having destroyed every pair of side cutters I’ve ever owned on guitar strings, I initially used a d’addario string winder/trimmer to cut the pins.
It was insufficient and I finally broke down and caught a bus to the hardware store for a little pair of kleins to finish the job.
got one of those neato pdp11/70 kits ( https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11-get-one) for my birthday. I am shoddy with detail work and managed to only botch two soldering pin-throughs which were easy enough to correct.
