my acceptance letter to UIC!
DePaul was my first application, but they're expensive as hell, so i decided UIC's Biology program was going to be the better option.. Spring 2027 i am on my way to being a biologist!

"Kutub Uddin (Bangladesh/UK) reveals a magical and often surreal world of slime moulds that can barely be seen with the naked eye.
Fine threads, known as capillitium, emerge on the round, yellow-green bodies, which will eventually help disperse reproductive spores. Kutub says they appear like ‘tiny clusters or unusual textures on the wood, often appearing as minute pins, spheres or dust-like groupings’. "

A photo of a white and orange house cat sitting on a dish drying mat on a typical American kitchen counter. A white bowl and black cutting board sit next to him. His front paws are folded underneath him as he sits in oblivious comfort.
Taco the cat resting on my drying mat. I have dozens of cat beds around the house.
Ach. Looks like a lief beest
But Taco has a cat bed right here on the bench, where they can keep an eye on you - and your silly behaviours.
@roonie I think that’s exactly what he thinks!

A photo of the Sombrero Galaxy, edited by goopymart to make it look like a Mexican guitarist wearing said Sombrero Galaxy.
Years ago GoopyMart (is he even on mltshp?) did a remix of a photo I posted to another forum.

The Sombrero Galaxy in Infrared Light,
Messier 104 is commonly known as the Sombrero Galaxy because, in visible light, it resembles a broad-brimmed Mexican hat.

Tweak the color palette a bit and it could be straight out from The Secret of Monkey Island

I can't decide if it would be rather fun or completely maddening to live in (and try to place furniture in) a house made of janky angles like this

I read somewhere that using children’s drawings is a sign you don’t use AI.
(Of course AI is probably getting pretty good at generating children’s drawings, but that’s beside the point.)

A stack of mixed old stereo equipment humms away brilliantly in front of a green wall. On the bottom is a Marantz 2230, on top is a Thorens TD145. Together they make magic. The record is side A of the White Album, because why not.
Well, not quite. But I had to give it a run through. I need to decide if the lack of radio needle bothers me (prolly not) or if I need to fix the light I must've bumped loose on the right end of the dial (yeah). The phono stage, my main use case, sounds freaking majestic. Good equipment is always worth a little work... here's to 55 more years!
a thing of beauty is a joy forever.
After watching your restoration i should at least clean the scratchy volume pot on our Pioneer receiver
@wjcstp Hardly a full restoration. Those guys are nuts. This is a spit and polish, at best.

A vintage electronic board with rows of through mount chips, all arrayed in splendor. The real magic hides somewhere within.
As I discussed with @ardgedee previously, I'm not a fan of replacing caps all willy-nilly, but there are two known problem transistors (H705 and 706) on this board so time to hit them up. Replaced with new and slightly improved models hopefully this will keep the magic rockin'!
Slight edit: I am at home where internet is out, and of course I didn't print out the datasheets... so I installed them 180 degrees off. Great job, me. I have now downloaded all relevant datasheets, have learned valuable lessons about SWAGes, the magic of buying two, and how much faster the second time around is.

@wmo I use a braid and a cheapie hand operated sucker. Less than $10 for the pair off the jungle site. Works good enough fer me.
Practice makes perfect I guess?
Ouch?
